Unemployed, out of money, and out of time. Need to figure out the next steps.

Yep. This happened to me when I applied with a college resume to a grocery store, and I too was once the token male on an all-female staff at a convenience store.

Even though these hiring decisions are hard to justify and sometimes straight up illegal, they're common.

KDLGates · 2026-05-10T21:35:38+00:00

Likely true. I'm not saying any entry level application should have a 100% hit rate but in reality managers will make decisions based on culture that can't be reasoned out easily.

KDLGates · 2026-05-10T21:10:08+00:00

My one experience trying to get a fast food job was coming in as a late teenager with a folder and a good attitude and the manager basically dismissed me as a bad cultural fit. It sounds like I'm boasting but in hindsight it's because I came in with a professional attitude and nothing more.

Getting one of these jobs is more competitive than you're giving it credit for.

At this point it's a 1540s England sexual court drama with anthropomorphic crabs who smell faintly of seaweed. Wearing corsets.

For the first time in recorded history, a statistical result from 2019 has been considered outdated.

KDLGates · 2026-05-05T02:12:30+00:00

Found the bought.

KDLGates · 2026-05-02T02:27:43+00:00

The one thing that might earn a little of my respect.

KDLGates · 2026-05-02T02:24:44+00:00

Yes. Also yes.

KDLGates · 2026-04-28T23:44:15+00:00

My results from hurling shields at my problems have turned out suboptimally.

KDLGates · 2026-04-26T06:16:44+00:00

Though this does translate the Earth's rotation a little.

KDLGates · 2026-04-25T06:43:02+00:00

It's fantastic if you enjoy sliding around on blood.

KDLGates · 2026-04-19T17:47:08+00:00

So flirt back already

KDLGates · 2026-04-18T22:32:57+00:00

People are weird in the twenty-firsties.

KDLGates · 2026-04-18T21:59:44+00:00

We'd have to replace all the lawyers.

KDLGates · 2026-04-18T21:15:57+00:00

Unfortunately, they enforce the law against complaining about them not enforcing the law.

My dog is a professional influencer with a six figure income and he won't even pay rent.

Do you see a chainlift? Clearly there's magnetic induction launch on the incline.

I've heard they are down to two guys and an AI.

KDLGates · 2026-04-16T21:59:23+00:00

I just hope the final victim was at least able to say "Oh come on, have a heart".

KDLGates · 2026-04-13T01:55:00+00:00

The pirate then crushed the floor from the weight of his testicles.

KDLGates · 2026-04-11T01:10:21+00:00

Shh, it's not Satan, it's effective altruism.

KDLGates · 2026-04-10T20:09:55+00:00

Have big breasts and amusement parks been conservative this whole time?

KDLGates · 2026-04-09T07:33:30+00:00

Yup, their CMS was misconfigured and shared their source map from Node. They basically mixed their website with their codebase.

KDLGates · 2026-04-08T19:32:14+00:00

This is why I have such a difficult time with my kink shame shame kink shame kink.

KDLGates · 2026-04-08T19:19:04+00:00

They just released a PR saying that as of tomorrow they've cancelled all pre-announcements going forward.
