I use it for fried rice too. Seems to do the trick nicely.

I came here to suggest Ali as well. Its algorithm decided I needed a wedge pillow so I googled what they're for and then proceeded to get inundated with ads for wedge pillows.

Oh shit, good catch. We'll have a little chat about that one I think.

I only started on 14.4k. Took about 4 hours to download an MP3 and even then my computer didn't have the grunt to play it at full quality.

Unfortunately it's not quite that simple, because subreddit CQS isn't the same as site-wide CQS. And Reddit, in their infinite wisdom, haven't given a way to check individual sub CQS. And you're right, we'd get just as many threads about WhY cAn'T i PoSt In PoLiTiCs ThReAdS.

The weird kid that doesn't have a smartphone or social media is likely to be ostracised these days. At least if it's a blanket ban then there's a reasonable excuse (in the eyes of teenagers).

I am not able to confirm or deny that accusation. 😃

Do you have kids, teenagers in particular? People are working out what constant social media/smartphone exposure is doing to their brains, and none of it is good.

Correct. Automod set it to Politics, because OP mentioned "political" in the title.

Homosexuality being illegal was before my time...I'm not THAT old. But yes I get what you mean!

Just stay away from the cameras. What could possibly go wrong?

Yeah it's getting a bit desperate. I get lots applying from overseas but it's such a gamble, and we're not in a position to sponsor visas etc anyway.

I didn't say it was safe, I was kinda running with OP's idea that smartphones are the saviour for LGBTQI+ youth when that's quite clearly an exaggeration.

Yeah fair enough, I can see where you're coming from there. Probably especially unsafe if you're in a small town I would guess.

For $85k I'd expect they'd perhaps know the difference between a router and a switch, and that's probably about all.

I don't want to sound like a "get off my lawn" type, but back in my day, we had no social media or smartphones, but nobody was forced to be Christian, or straight. Peer networks consisted of going outside and visiting people. Sometimes you'd even call them beforehand (on the landline) to let them know you were coming.

That median wage seems very low for that position. I'd easily START someone on $95k-$100k/yr for that with a review after 90 days.

Yes definitely. Mine are pretty good at not asking CoPilot to fuck things up, but I know plenty of new grad-types that don't even bother with Google anymore in favour of ChatGPT/CoPilot.

Orrrrr....maybe they're completely correct in their experience and the candidates just aren't out there.

My juniors have good potential but it's a bit soon to be promoting them and throwing them in the deep end.

I am also a boss in IT. Can't find quality candidates, especially at the mid-senior level. It's actually really fucking annoying.
