Want to screw over somebody’s employability in Ohio?

1. Create a fake resume, & apply for jobs.
2. Get interviews, no-show and ghost calls.
3. #&%@~^!
4. PROFIT!

I don’t understand the not making friends thing. I’ve made a string of friends in the last five years, and continue to do so. And I am a socially awkward, ADHD, anxiety raddled, sometimes annoying as fuck, mess. Maybe it’s because I own it and just stopped caring what people think of me and they can fuck off if they don’t like me being my genuine self? I dunno, all I know is that I do my best to approach people openly, kindly, and treat them like I’d like to be treated back and it largely works for me.

Please be the AI bubble. Please be the AI bubble. PLEASE BE THE AI BUBBLE.

One of my biggest fears of riding MTB in grizzly country is spooking one while out riding.

I’ve seen videos of people that have been chased and I don’t know if I’d survive.

There’s also been some major leaps in dark matter physics in the last few years. Revisiting primordial black holes using lasers and microlensing might actually be able to get supporting evidence here before long if the hypothesis holds.

PBS Space Time has a good video breaking this possibility and methodology down.

SG1 was amazing. I really wanted to like SGU but the drastic change in story telling and direction made it difficult for me.

Wasn’t it the Beatles sueing Apple and not the other way around?

Hell, in 2000 I had teachers that wouldn’t take printed reports because not everybody had access to a computer for their work even though I did. Kids these days will never know the finger cramping pain of doing 20 page, college ruled, hand written papers.

There’s been a push in higher education and professional markets for a STEAM education paradigm over STEM. Especially when you consider that there’s a ton of crossover between tradition STEM education and arts in modern day professionals (User Experience relies on all 5 domains for delivering truly great UX for example).

Fun fact: Many cultural artificats do go on tour!

For example I’ve seen both Pompeii & King Tutt exhibits in San Diego that have since rotated. I’ve also seen other traveling exhibits in several other major cities I’ve lived in that were far more than art.

Many cities also have free admission days to museums for people that live nearby (depends on the institution but it could be for City/County/State).

With this knowledge, you too, can now learn and explore societies that predate written word.

Or create leaf mold (a pile of sticks and leaves) in targeted areas of your yard/property that are ideal for breeding fireflies and other desired native insects/spiders. Especially if you live in an HOA community that requires reqular raking and can hide the leaves under bushes/shrubs/trees/garden beds as mulch.

Raking of leaves isn’t really the problem so much as is the complete removal of leaves from the property & neighborhood (which also removes the nutrients from the local top soil).

No credit IS bad credit.

You don’t have to carry debt to have a credit history, but you do have to use credit to have a credit history. If you haven’t used the system, they have no knowledge of your crdit worthiness.

I use credit cards as a tool to protect my finances and purchases (fraud protection is greater with CCs than a bank account/card, as well as being able to dispute transactions where service was failed to be delivered or inadequate). I also always pay off my statement balance in full every month.

I do my best to only buy things I can afford to pay in full, but a home and automobile can be exceptions to that (even though I bought my auto in full due to a financial windfall). But I still participate in the system to gain the benefits of the system

www.nerdwallet.com is a great resource on credit education and provides a wealth of tools for starting build your bad credit to good credit.

I’d prefer it to be Alan Rickman.

Only because it’d be hilarious to see a Muppet John McClane carrying around that giant ass teddy bear and doing the vent scene with a match, “Come out to the coast! we’ll get together, have a few laughs…”.

Nah, I’m cool. I’ll do without.

Humans have a natural urge to rebel and question authority.

If your response to that is to be a authoritian dipshit and beat them into submission, you might be a facist and causing more harm than good.

I see you’ve never heard of salaried non-exempt.

Which is, grosely oversimplified, a guaranteed 40 hours of pay with an hourly rate attached for overtime pay.

It’s amazing the difference a union makes for customer satisfaction isn’t it?

Note: USPS & UPS are both unionized.

I WFH for a company where we’re regularly moving files and packages in the 100s of GBs. I’m already on 2.5Gb and and I still ahev to wait 10-20 minutes at times. I also share a connection with my wife who is a CAD designer and 3D Space modeler for an architect who also works from home who also has similar upload & download times for some of her work.

That’s just us. There’s plenty of other professionals out there that work with large files between teams either as a job or hobby from home.

10Gb has a market for home users. It may be limited at this time, but it’s there.

I live in the USA. I use the process I’ve described on my resume. I’ve also just landed a new job and started within the last month. When sending out resumes on my latest job search I had a 90% response rate, all for jobs I’d actually like to work at. The job I accepted was after the recruiter that reviewed my resume reached out to me to tell me the role I applied for had been filled but that they had another role that I’d be a fit for in the process of being written and wanted to get the ball rolling so I could be at the front of the interview process for it.

I’d say it’s “standard” because people were poorly trained on what to put on their resumes starting in high school and even college. I even used the “standard” before and struggled to land interviews early in my career. It wasn’t until about 15 years ago that I did a deep dive into resume writing and job searching techniques that I completely overhauled my resume and started actually getting call-backs/emails and interviews that would eventually wind up in landing jobs that I actually wanted.

Just because something is “standard” doesn’t mean it’s what we should be doing, or is the right way. The job market has changed over the years and ATSs reviewing resumes meant that people had to figure out how to get past those systems 20 years ago. As LLMs have been added to ATSs it’s only gotten harder to get past the initial gate with a resume drop.

A Kagi search for “resume accomplishments vs duties” will give you a plethora of sources discussing this from job seekers, HR professionals, recruiters, and even some university research.

Listing your successes, metrics, and accomplishments will drive home your actual work duties and capabilities.

If you’re listing the following, you’ve failed in writing a solid entry to tell me that you’re a bugfix and data import wizard:

• Utilized Jira to fix bugs.
• Used company import tools to move data between systems.

Instead, you could write entries like:

• Took ownership and closed x bug tickets over y months which was z% over the organizational goal.
• Created and documented a Workflow to speed up the process of importing data by x%, making me the go to person for company data imports.

I’m not saying to lie or embellish either. I’m saying that you need to think about how you market your skills for sale as a service. If I’m looking for somebody with those skills, the latter two bullet points are going to stand out a far lot better than the former.
