Yeah, I'm also a millenial who had shitty parents. There's too many of us who will gladly complain about our parents/teachers/coaches, but then get all pissy when you point out they're treating gen z like the boomers treated us.
A large number of gen x and millennials seems to have grown up to have a "this is how the adults acted when I was a kid, so its only fair for me to shit on kids now", and its disgusting.
Maybe, but that doesn't quite track with what I experienced. It was for a fairly well known company that builds industrial tools and machines, and I interviewed at their HQ, so I don't think it was an agency building a pool.
The screening part sounds right, but I think these guys were doing it in-house.
I'm here from /all so I can confirm this is happening in non-tech too. Not too long ago, I interviewed to be a product photographer for an industrial manufacturer, and the people who were interviewing me knew nothing about the job I was interviewing for.
They couldn't tell me what camera they used in house, they couldn't tell me what editing software they used, they couldn't tell me about the lights, they couldn't tell me anything. It's like if the interviewers said you'd use 'computers' but couldn't tell you which OS they were running.
Meanwhile my great grandmother, in her 80s, was able to learn how to boot up Win95 to play some puzzle games.
I personally think it's because she was never really one for passive entertainment. If she watched television, it was stuff like Wheel of Fortune and she played along. She hit up the library every week for fresh books, and did a lot of crochet and crossword.
It's similar to how I think her curiosity for life and refusal to be afraid is why she wasn't a bigot. We have several interracial marriages in my family, and she never had a problem with it, despite being born in 1912.
She lived to be 100, and I hope I'm half as cool as she was.
I've been saying this for a while. Being 'on the left' is no guarantee that somebody is intelligent or a good person that cares about others. Anybody can say they're a leftist, but it's gotta be borne out of action or it's meaningless.
I suspect that's one of the reasons they're grown in greenhouses commercially. They use a lift to pick, and it's easier to drive over pavement than dirt.
Lowkey, we never should have switched from 'private message' to 'direct message'. I feel like the switch in terminology has softened the public opinion towards corps reading your mail. Private messages should be private.
I'm currently living in a slightly smaller house that's valued at 250k. The roof leaks and the porch is falling apart, but the town has doubled in size since COVID, and so has the cost of housing.
Eh, yes and no. I wouldn't say that they're operating the camps, but kapos are an unfortunate reality.
I'd agree that homophobia isn't the primary concern for most straight people, but with the caveat that it is the primary concern for the families who are worried enough to enter the conversion camp pipeline. I'd also argue that homophobia was a primary method of control via fear by specifically the preachers in the camp pipeline, though that stick is getting worn out and they're starting to swap to transphobia for fresh fear. There are many roads to hell though, so you're right about it not being their only concern.
Yeah, the store I'm thinking is a hypermarket sells groceries, but also clothing, toys, furniture, garden plants, tools, etc. We still call it a grocery store, lol.
My town's store doesn't even have its own bakery department or meat counter, but the bigger one next town over away has a bank branch and a starbucks inside, but doesn't sell the range of the big one mentioned above.
Is that close to the grocery > supermarket > hypermarket scale?
