Ultrakill, a very stylish boomer shooter. I’d recomend it.

There are machines you can goon to:

This is a bit of a “Voyager probe has left the solar system” headline. Pops up every few years to remind us that words are ambiguous.

That was the opposite of my experience. For Minecraft at least I went from ~110 FPS in hyprland to ~80 in plasma. Felt like there was an extra frame or two of delay too, but I never measured.

Can you find some that has the adult amount of fluoride but doesn’t have unlabeled mint flavor in there too? I’ve spent so much time and effort on this I wish I could take your advice so bad

Banana pudding, banana bread (storebought), strawberry banana V8, banana chips? I don’t eat a lot of bananas so maybe I’m an outlier but I could see my banana intake being over half non-photogenic from the above listed.

FDR? New deal was such a success at the ballot box that it basically took until Reagan to (significantly) undo it.

“Would you push a button for money”, on its own, is barely a dilemma. If you’ve been given no good reason not to press it then you don’t have a reason not to press it. I’d be curious to see this Twilight Zone episode because, if it really is presented that way to her, then it’s not her morals that are comprimised and instead that of whoever distributed that button.

I don’t know what it is, but it’s always the menial warehouse, data entry, QA, etc. positions that ask for cover letters.

“Detail oriented founder 10x manager guy”? Just send us your resume so we can send you a rejection letter a month from now.

“Lift up to 50 lbs.”? Lets put an entire interview into the form. Why this company. Why are you passionate about this work. Tell us about your 5 years of experience we require you to have to pick up and put down objects and type what you did into a computer. Why did you leave each previous job you had. How do you handle being assigned more work than can be done in your workday. Tell us about a time you did that. Have you previously worked here. If yes, tell us about the experience [required even if no]. Link your linkedin profile so we can assume you’re a bot for not sharing your entire professional life.

I mean, the character limit was there originally because twitter’s gimmick originally was that you’d post via SMS, which has its own char limit. They’ve raised the limit even before the musk takeover, so I’m inclined to believe twitter motivates ragebait in other ways.

It’s supposed to be some kind of portable sauna thing I found from typing random words into amazon with a friend. The original image made her look like Thomas the Tank Engine so I shopped his face over hers.

Original image:

I’ve gotten use out of it in minecraft as a numpad. Add 9 buttons, mapped to 1-9, and you can get to any item in your hotbar without shoulder button spam. It’s basically the only way I use it but most of my steam deck hours are in minecraft so it balances out.

You put into words thoughts that I’ve been unable to for a while.

Like, I read this and I see how someone makes this argument, but I feel fucking terrible afterwards. Sure you haven’t said I’m a rapist, but you’ve said you’ll treat me as though I am. You can’t expect men as a demographic to agree to this argument if it requires society to assume they’re shitty people, at which point, why is it even being made?

The worst part I feel is that there’s a lot of incel types that conflate feminism with sexism, which we’d like to school them by pointing them at a dictionary. While incels are generally shitty, we can’t ignore the fact that this argument is telling them their behavior doesn’t actually matter because we’re going to act like they’re rapists based solely on their malehood anyways. (to be clear, this is an explanation, not a justification)

For what it’s worth, Doom 2016 does a really good job of appealing to the goopy goblin gamer brain that hates story in away that other Doom games (perhaps with the exception of 1&2) just don’t. There’s only one sizeable chunk of low-gameplay story and there’s a clear acknowledgement that you clearly are going to run out the door as soon as it unlocks because you don’t give a shit. Doom Eternal completely dropped that pretense for some reason so I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much (I don’t dispise cutscenes like you do but I don’t play Doom for them).

Apparently twitter has a system where they’ll pay you for posts with a lot of attention, regardless of it’s quality. Pays less than minimum wage but some do it full time anyways.

I don’t mean to say the data is invalid, but you’re using the data to imply this experience and others like it are invalid. Maybe you don’t mean to do that but that’s what it sounds like.

Your point about zip codes though doesn’t really make sense to me for a few reasons.

Firstly, from the data that i can find, in my state the unemployment rates are only a little worse than the national average, in the “not great, but not hell” range you describe (report).

Secondly, a little over half of the positions I’m applying for are remote ones across the country, so they’d have to be discriminating on my zip for some reason, including the ones whom I never told where I live. The one employer that briefly got back to me was a local one just a county over for what that’s worth.

Thirdly, I only share a zip code with one of my friends, and he’s in the ‘has a job and lives with his parents’ camp; his job is also utterly unrelated to what he studied in university (though to be fair it’s in a field with historically poor employment).

From what I’ve seen, some people are getting jobs after getting layed off. The problem is that now I, with <1 year of experience, am now competing with others who have 3-5 for the same position. No company in this economy is going to choose me outside of a gamble.

I see the unemployment stats and they just don’t align with any of my lived experience nor that of anyone I know personally.

If I go on LinkedIn, every job listing says “over 100 people clicked apply”. I’ve done ~60 applications through various places and heard back from only 1, which proceeded to ghost me. Any of my frends that have found one did ~500, and not even at a livable wage so they’re still living with their parents. Every employer says their inbox gets so filled with applicants that they admit they have to resort to some poor heuristic (like applying in the first hour or having a ton of connections on LinkedIn). I’ve heard employers of service jobs are getting tons of overqualified candidates as runoff. I’ve shown my resume to people I know with multiple decades of experience in the field I want to work in and they tell my my resume is good. Of those that employ, they don’t have a position for me to fill but tell me if they did they’d hire me.

Is there a way on bls.gov to search unemployment by field, education, years of experience, etc.? I suspect it’d be K-shaped, with newlygrads getting the shit end of the stick.

For basically any chan board when you hover over a “>>#######” it shows the post it points to.
