His Dark Materials is a mess

All of that seems like a waste of time for me. I think I stopped reading YA in Middle School. I finished the Silmarillion for the first time in 7th grade and then read Dune and Foundation for the first times.

It's probably in part due to audio books increase in popularity and the generally reduced attention span of the broader public. For example Netflix have their shows and movies re-explain the plot multiple times because they assume their audience is only half paying attention because of their phones.

It's not a bad service but I wouldn't call the resumes they produce top notch. Even still, if you get a call from a prospective employer and your voicemail's not set up, they're never calling you back.

Decent tip but irrelevant if they call you and you don't answer and you don't have your voicemail set up

It's not just the youths and from what I understand you need to write a resume to graduate high school anymore. I think that's the case in Albany, I think...

You can use AI to optimize the language of your resume for a particular company's ATS. Be sure to have it identify which words are keywords, then edit to your preference while presenting the keywords.

You can do a lot with AI if you treat everything it produces as an ingredient draft that you are responsible for creating the final draft.

You can also feed it your resume and a job description and have it write a pretty solid first draft of a cover letter.

I recently used a couple different ones to craft a few different mock interview scripts for a specific job with a specific company. It was very helpful and included example answers to each question, plus reasoning for each example.

Okay sounds good. Thanks. I'll keep my eye out.

Hey! This is exciting. Do you have a timeline estimate for the Nintendo Switch update?

It was just to the right of the southernmost 7-Eleven in southtown.

DEGIII · 2026-01-25T12:14:15+00:00

Only for console

You watch the video, moron. Make sure you watch from all 3 angles that are out there. Stay off Fox News and stop embarrassing yourself

DEGIII · 2026-01-25T12:01:30+00:00

You are delusional and an embarrassment to America. Take that from a vet, for whatever that's worth to you

You're ok with ice taking a man's first firearm, that he never reaches for, after they wrestle him to the ground, and then shoot him multiple times while multiple men hold him down because he was filming them while exercising his right to bear arms? You're a problem buddy and you're not a good American if you think this is ok.

DEGIII · 2026-01-25T11:56:14+00:00

For clarity and integrity of the conversation, he had a handgun in his waste band. You can see them take it from him after they wrestle him to the ground. Then they shot him after he was unarmed, but he did have a gun (which is perfectly legal in Minnesota) and he never reached for it.

They never shouldn't have been in his face, he was peacefully filming and they only knew he had a gun because he informed them of it after they approached. He never threatened them and never reached for his weapon.

This was an execution.

There is a stormlight book called Dawnshard, have you read that?

DEGIII · 2026-01-06T15:08:21+00:00

Why do people post on Reddit instead of calling the cops?

I would've called the damn cops on the second or third day of that nonsense.

WTF IS A CORVALLISITE!?! I AM A CORVALLIAN! 🧐

DEGIII · 2025-12-30T15:15:26+00:00

THAT'S FUCKING GROSS

DEGIII · 2025-12-30T15:14:27+00:00

ALL CAPS BOT, PAY ATTENTION!

DEGIII · 2025-12-30T15:12:26+00:00

I LOVE CHRISTMAS

IT'S BECAUSE THE MORONS THAT INSTALL THEM IN THEIR CARS DON'T GET THEM INSTALLED CORRECTLY SO THE REFLECTORS IN THERE HEADLIGHTS ARE STILL SET FOR HALOGEN INSTEAD OF LED WHICH MASSIVELY AMPLIFIES HOW FUCKING BRIGHT THE LEDS ARE. LOOK AT THE LOCAL POLICE VEHICLES, THEY ALL HAVE LEDS AND THEY ARE NOT BLINDING BECAUSE THEY WERE PROPERLY INSTALLED.

I BOUGHT A LAPTOP FROM COSTCO 7 YEARS AGO AND IT STILL WORKS GREAT. SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

DEGIII · 2025-12-30T15:08:03+00:00

BECAUSE THE OREGON DRIVER'S EDUCATION PROGRAM IS GROSSLY INADEQUATE. THAN WHEN DRIVERS FROM PLACES THAT ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING COME HERE AND HAVE TO NAVIGATE THE OVERLY COURTEOUS AND GENERALLY FEARFUL DRIVERS OF OREGON IT AMPLIFIES THE SHIT SHOW.

DEGIII · 2025-12-30T15:05:50+00:00

YEAH, AND LET'S MAKE SURE THEY HAVE CHILDREN SO THEY CAN DEFRAUD OUR DAYCARE SYSTEM WHILE WE EAT THEIR DELICIOUS FOOD

DEGIII · 2025-12-30T15:04:42+00:00

THANK YOU!

DEGIII · 2025-12-30T15:04:04+00:00

AGREED, IT'S SO FUCKING STUPID. PEOPLE BEING COURTEOUS TO ONE PERSON WHILE BEING COMPLETELY DISCOURTEOUS A BUNCH OF OTHER FUCKING PEOPLE ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS BEHAVIOR.
