Oh im sure we can think of some, Paris of Troy, Pope Benidict IX, Thomas Midgly?

Significantly fewer poorly defended, costal monastaries in england these days… I wonder why?

My “I was 18 and stupid” job was back of the house at a southern style fried chicken resturant in the heart of the american bible belt. While Hate Chicken will close on sundays and Colonel Fried does not give a shit, my franchise did the worst possible sale on sundays. If you came in with a local church bulletin postmarked for that day, we took 10% off your order. Now you would think this would be good for business and you are unfortunatly correct.

The problem was that everyone else that worked there was attending said services except for ~4 of us. I worked back of the house behind hot friers and ovens most, if not all, sunday mornings. The amount dead foul that has passed my hands, its an actual work of god that im not a vegitarian.

The bullshit isnt for you, its for the AI filter that handles intake before you read a single application. (And if your not using AI to filter, your getting spammed by AI applications because everyone else is playing that game) Applicants are trying to beat the machine, and when the requirements get stricter the applicants just use more AI to send out more applications. Its a vicious cycle that will only end when hiring managers filter with something that a machine can not do.

Dont even get started on the personal data collection of the job sites. Its the most soul crushing thing to be looking for a job right now, anything to make you stand out of a crowd is ignored, volume of applications and adherance to posted requirments are the only way to get a fleeting interaction with a human.

I feel like the solution either needs to go back to in person and paper ads or a personal website acts as your resume, anything other than what we have right now.

Correct, he hired the most qualified people and listened to them (eventually). Much less can be said about darth cheeto.

IT here so “customer service” but internally for a company, and yes I get this one from time to time. More often than its because someone failed their ID check and or forgot their security questions and they blow a gasket when we tell them to open a ticket by email or the portal.

Blah blah blah, do you know how busy I am, blah blah blah do you know who I am, blah blah blah…

Look, I dont care if your some security guard or the CEOs personal ass wiper. Resetting credentials is a critical function that the admins pawn off on us techs because users are insufferable and they dont want to deal with them most of the time. If you cant be bothered to do a little managment of your creds and keys, how the fuck do you still have a job. Get a password manager if its allowed but if we fail an audit because you wrote it down under your keyboard again… Well that problem is above my paygrade.

Yah… The timing of this is suspicious, stuff like this usually comes out of the woodwork almost immediatly (because you can just search through someones social media and find all sorts of dumb shit), if someone is holding onto it then they either made it up or witheld the info for timing/news cycle reasons, either case reduces the credibility of the “gossip”.

Also, who cares, half the liches on capitol hill that need to remove were on Epstine Island… The bar for family values and puritanical whohash has been on the floor since the Clinton administration.

WHATS THIS!?!

A STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WITH A DECERNING LACK OF POLLINATORE AND OR BEES?

MY SEMITRUCK FULL OF BEES AUGHT TO PUT A STOP TO THAT!!!

Of all technical professionals, IT people / sys-admins are consistently the most supersticious. There is a reason we put ramen on top of servers.

Dwarf Fortress

Throw money at the steam version or just got download the lazy noob pack (keyboard recomended for that one) and learn why it is the hardest game.

Remember kids, Losing is fun!

I joking tell parents to get their kids into Warhammer 40K, Magic the Gathering or PC gaming, that way they wont be able to afford drugs.

Ted Danson’s reaction to that scene is too perfect… That one hurts

But you see. Im going to call it that anyway, just to add more whimsy and dinosaur jokes to the world.

Idiocracy is one of the most unrealistic portrails of the US executive brance (the house of representin is spot on) President Dwayne Elezondo MtnDew Herbert Camacho is actually the best fictional president. He had a problem,

• found the most qualified person to solve it.

• listened to them (reluctantly) then.

• didnt take much credit for it, one it was solved

No other president would have done any of those things… Perhaps Carter.

See… That the problem, the quote that vest comes to mind is.

" The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. "

-Douglas Adams

And I dont think the other shoe has dropped yet. It takes time for shocks to wring out of the global transit network. Fertilizer is made from petrol these days, and farmers need to plan its order out months in advance. I fully expect things to get much worse to the point im learning to ferment and preserve things. Its not of urgency now, but having these skills before I may need them seems like a prudent use of time.

Its 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigerettes, its dark and were wearing sunglasses.

Its a philosophical crutch, putting your reason for living or being a decent person in the hands of an other entity is easier than taking that responsibility yourself.

I guess the emotion I feel when some theist is mouthing off or drawing irrational conclusions is pitty. I do try to not be judgmental, but its hard some days.

Thats exactly what they did last time, ship all the fundy religious nuts overseas, the Massachusetts bay colony was full of religious exiles deemed too “extra” for post-reformation Europe… And look where we are now.
