We've hit the point where the economy is nakedly "we'll pay you way less than you're worth so more than half your income goes to other people who are already rich." It's a fucking scam.

Yeah, I've just gotten to the point of trying to network instead of applying for things that don't exist.

What platform were you searching on?

This sounds shockingly familiar. The job market is a scam these days, and I've been homeless for a year and a half. AI hype is just going to make it worse.

In my last job search, I sent out more than a thousand applications across multiple industries, got one interview, didn't get the job. It's very plausible.

An engineered one to finally end the middle class by grabbing assets at fire-sale prices so everyone has to rent, while simultaneously being able to further raise rents on account of all the new demand.

But it's got what plants crave!

No one likes a tiny screw.

Say, blindly reciting the Pledge of Allegiance that brings some god into the equation?

You'll only use big screws?

How do you think they have so many kids?

No, and stop asking. Go make some honey or something.

Yeah, I was.

What? Three days after the tractor beam?

You do realise that long ago MSFT switched from being a desktop software company to cloud and telemetry, right? Win10 and Win11 were free, and Azure isn't exactly driving them into the ground.

For quite some time, I'd watch YouTube playthroughs of about an hour and realized that in most cases, that was all I really needed. If shit starts looking grindy in an hour, you likely made a bad game.

I'm grateful for these streamers. They save me from wasting money.

You think they don't want it there?

Question heds by definition have "no" as an answer. If you've done the reporting to answer the question, the copyed ain't writing a fucking question hed. We're going to be declarative. And when there are enough holes in a story, putting it on the spike is rather easy.

I just made a post that I realized went so far off the rails deleting and starting over made more sense.

Basically, best to assume sarcasm unless I'm making sense and in touch with reality.
