Ngl I thought this was going to be about that hour long expose of that one guys struggle with synthetic gas station kratom addiction and got ANGERY

But no, it was merely this novel type of guy. Thank you for your service

Brother I’ve gotten background checked on every job that required a degree I’ve had, some states require the employee to also get a copy whenever they are background checked for employment

I get it, genuinely. And also we’re like 50%-90% shitposting so I’m not super 😡 . I just notice rhetoric that is the exact opposite of how to job hunt and advance your career instead of floating and getting fired from min wage position to min wage position and it makes me feel for those that get disenfranchised by the discussion when they could be doing so much more for themselves

Shit maybe we should start a career support comm or some shit where things are Super Serious All The Time

Is the field something technical where you can get collect online certifications to resume-pad? If so, definitely suggest that.

Just be (partially) honest, say you had unexpected family medical emergency for a few months after the layoff and have been searching the whole time while doing some freelancing.

Is your background really a bullshit field or is that what terminally online people tell you to diminish the skills and labor you have spent years learning and practicing? Is this your attitude during interviews as well, or do you give off the vibe of a highly motivated and driven employee?

The market is shit, that is undeniable. As long as you’re navigating interviews while playing the game, saying the buzzwords and generic motivations, and you’re also a competent and skilled laborer, you’ll get the job. It’s just a matter of time, and that time freaking sucks. I’ve been there as well for 7 months, it seems like it will never end but it does, as long as you don’t give in to defeatism.

Brother you are legitimately such a pathetic human being.

I’m going to make so much money off people like you. Genuinely, thank you. Keep it up.

You could probably find an old Optiplex and like a used RX580 in that price range

By any chance, have you used any radio telescopes pointed at the sun to amplify a message detectable by Alpha Centauri?

Or perhaps conducted any particle accelerator experiments with completely nonsensical and non-reproducible results?

Maybe worked in a nanotechnology lab lately?

It’s genuinely embarrassing that we keep bringing up Millennium challenge as some kind of grand humiliation of the US military, like a cursory glance of the 2002 Millennium challenge explains exactly what happened and it is just one loser General who wanted to ruin everyone’s field trip and made up impossible things to stack his odds and win. And the more you look into it, the worse the optics get. This is the opposite of how leftist dialogue should behave under scrutiny.

Like, there are enough opportunities to criticize the US military’s incompetence already. Let’s not pretend their goal was to annex Afghanistan, it was not some humiliating defeat by farmers. The US got everything they wanted out of it. This is the new kind of war, purely designed to kill civilians, extract resources, and keep the MIC running.

Look on the bright side, the most likely scenario is the collapse of human civilization and the biosphere as we know it, leaving small communities of pre-industrial humans that constantly war against each other, unable to advance technologically due to the remaining resources being inaccessible without the prerequisite technology such as advanced wellbore navigation, etc.

But some of them might be communist!

The funniest thing about Republicans critique of Democrats is they’re almost always right, but for literally none of the reasons they try to justify it with

Yeah, I understand that feds are out there doing this same thing, but I know literal Venezuelans born in Venezuela that have lived their entire lives in (and continue to live in) Venezuela and they say the same shit.

Just like there are Chinese libs, nationalists, and fascists, Venezuelans aren’t somehow immune to propaganda and I don’t really find it constructive to dunk on

But on the third hand, this is the slop comm and I’m here living it up so let’s party!

There is also the chance it won’t pop. It might correct a bit, but not pop.

AI even in its current state is fundamentally necessary to a huge amount of people today, and this figure is only growing. Most people, especially in the West, are profoundly unintelligent, uncurious, and incapable of critical thought. AI is genuinely revolutionary for them, and they would gladly pay a subscription baked into everything to have it (which would sustain the costs).

Ask anyone under the age of 20 a question and their immediate response is “let me ask ChatGPT”

The market is desperate for AI, and will almost certainly pay a premium for it once current free models become unsustainable.

This is why I bet on China, instead of against AI. Figure out how to personally benefit from the rise of China and the fall of America, and let material analysis figure out the rest.

Some leftists have this weird imaginary understanding of economics where every minimum wage worker generates millions of dollars in profit and everyone with degrees is just a bullshit worker sucking away money.

The skilled union laborers on my projects cost the company in excess of $200 per hour, and that is me hiding the real number which is much higher for opsec. Companies are, in fact, keenly interested in knowing exactly how much an employee costs them. For projects, net margin is added on top of the costs as a percentage.

Every second those guys dick around instead of solving problems, money burns. Enough money burns, and union guys get laid off. Office people lose their jobs. The public and the disabled suffer from lack of services.

Yes, that also means the fucks at the top get richer. But we have to play the game. Get and hold a job. Advance your skills, personal development, and career. Use that superior leftist state of being to get promotions to gather capital to be used to at least help other people, if not directly fund a revolution.

This is not an insult to the OP at all, they asked a great question. But there is a prevailing attitude especially on the online left that needs some serious self crit if they are to be anything except “posting is praxis” performative leftists.

So animals cannot consent to being in a safe environment where they literally live longer, receive healthy diets and medical care, and form loving bonds with people, but sterilizing them is fine?

I’m gonna be honest there are about 3,000,000 steps towards leftism that need to be taken before this can even remotely be considered a hill to die on which I am sure you would be more than glad to filter and purge leftists by

A multipolar Thanksgiving

Each corporation can use it in a different way, for me it’s when you get a small group together like with Operations and Project Managers and get a coherent story together to present on a separate meeting with progressively higher ranking people on it

So getting on the same page with project financials, why x event happened and y factors/results, making sure you don’t get asked a question in the bigger meeting and the whole team just goes “uhhhh”

The west has fallen

Biden explicitly and specifically promised me, personally, that I would get $20k in student loan forgiveness and $10k forgived on my moms parent plus loan - as an explicit condition of being elected.

Then, despite having the constitutional authority, legal basis, and full control of the levers of material power to do so, Biden did not.

Trump had given me more than democrats ever did, especially if you include the hilarity of watching America burn and China inherit the Mandate of Heaven in real time
