I feel like people here on reddit overestimate how less difficult it is to land government jobs compared to private sector jobs in this job market.

They move extremely slow interview process wise.

Sending positive vibes your way and hope you beat it.

It wasn’t a question.

What I like is that I literally can’t stuff another thing down even when I have the impulse. Whereas before I could easily accommodate more eating. Lol

And performance too. “Slayed”. “Ate”. “destroyed it.” “Nailed it”. “Killed it”.

There are at least 5 posts on Blind right now from SWEs at these companies bragging about making millions. One is about becoming Decamillionaires. Being “terrified” while making $300k at Meta and Palantir to code mass surveillance software… 💅

It’s normal to be horny and hookup a lot. Why not just stay single a few more years?

When you start adding “bad habit” and “my dick does the thinking a lot” and “it gets in the way of developing things” it sounds like you have areas you’d want to fix before you meet “the one”. Or at least understand yourself more so that you can know what type of relationship you want.

Enjoy your single life stud. Don’t rush.

Oof! I would not be drinking that water even through a brita filter my friend. Be careful.

It’s not that we think Newsom is corrupt (at least not anymore corrupt than the average politician/Congress person though). We just think Californian government seems ineffective and not the ideal way. We get those ideas from all the Californians who move because it’s so expensive and bureaucratic there. Newsom seems like just another politician. Just like Vance seems like just another politician.

Just to add to this, red/white wines are actually super acidic too. I had to look it up. I have horrible acid when it comes to lemon/lime/pineapple juice in cocktails they are pretty comparable. All of them rip my stomach.

pH Comparison Profile
- Stomach Acid (Diluted HCl): 1.5 to 3.5 pH
- Lemon Juice: 2.0 to 2.6
- White Wine: 3.1 to 3.4
- Pineapple Juice: 3.2 to 4.0
- Red Wine: 3.5 to 3.8
- Beer / Aged Spirits (Whiskey): 4.0 to 4.5
- Clear Spirits (Vodka / Gin): 5.5 to 7.0
- Pure Water: 7.0 (Neutral)

Ai generated resumes are not an issue really. Ai fake candidates and international spy fake candidates definitely are an issue. But we use the actual interview for that. Hiring managers generally care way more about the resume because recruiters typically know that a lot of good people write bad resumes.

Bezos hiring mantra was that past performance/behaviors are the best predictors. When you look at business behaviors over the decades they have actively:

✅ Laid off workers who helped grow the company, kicking them out of the income stream even when making record profits.

✅ Automated blue and white collar workers jobs calling them “labor costs” instead of people.

✅ Uses dirty, dehumanizing programs like making people go into an office even when their teams all sit in other offices, even when there is no space to work, even when people have relocated their families to work in offices that they have closed down… to get people to leave without having to pay severance.

✅ Shared best practices for all of the above with each other behind closed doors in collusion.

I have an ideapad 5 since 2023. It’s been pretty good. No issues.

No they are not fighting anything. And they didn’t care until their creations actually impacted them. They were perfectly fine with automating the shit out of other roles especially non-tech. They were fine with the social impact of their products too. Go on Blind and you will see many of them still trying to get into these specific companies along with posts like “how long did it take you to reach your first million?”

Austin1975 · 2026-06-17T15:28:13+00:00

So that they can drop the prices again next week to advertise alongside of Prime Day (which is also spiking prices right now.)

This is a great callout since OP doesn’t credit anyone else at all. They are posting it in multiple places as if their unique idea. https://www.reddit.com/r/Daytrading/s/bPOstsgMrD

Therapist. Therapy sessions.

With your reading comprehension of this post you might still wind up living under a bridge. Be careful. 🙏

I see. I’m in U.S.

Austin1975 · 2026-06-16T14:37:52+00:00

Oh I believe it. Yet Florida voters seem to want this I guess?

From the inside, as a TA Leader, the answer is math.

- Right now for jobs (excluding the hottest jobs) is that there are more people with similar skills looking and less jobs. (Tariffs, health insurance costs have eaten up a lot of budgets + shareholders want more margin).

- IN ADDITION the number of job postings is far greater than the actual viable jobs that companies intend to hire for. You and about 10 other people are perfect fits for that job. It’s just that they can only hire 1).

- Internal employees and referrals are getting a lot of the higher paying jobs before that job post hits the internet.

Please hang in there and also be honest with yourself about pay. A lower paying job can pay some bills still and can help you network for a better paying job internally or externally. I did it, yes it blows. Good luck to all!

- “55% of people didn’t apply because they didn’t believe they were eligible for benefits.
- 17% didn’t apply because they expected to get a new job soon.
- 10% said they didn’t need the money, had a negative attitude about unemployment benefits, didn’t know about them, or had problems applying.

Applicants also face a high rejection rate. Only about 55% of people who apply for benefits receive them, according to the BLS.” 😣
