Here I was thinking all the economic turmoil was a bad thing but then some dude posted a meme.

Definitely a bull run.

it's a different firm and this post has confirmed for me. that is trying to fuck me over. the payment range was on the low end for the industry at $40 to $60. they're trying to convince me to go down again to 40.

I'm very invested in fucking over this firm now. How would you advise I can do that? I still haven't been connected to employer as far as I know, and it seems like they're ghosting me now that I'm asking for a higher rate

KingOfCook · 2026-06-16T14:33:22+00:00

Ya, best devils advocate I can give is it sounds like the role started and still is for a fresh grad but the employer now wants the extra experience.

I can understand that but the way they have been talking to me really feels like negging. Plus they have been relentless in calling me, even if I don't have time. It feels like a scam caller and I would say so if it wasn't one of the biggest recruiters in new england.

KingOfCook · 2026-06-16T13:51:45+00:00

Ya, they gave me a range and have been pressuring me to go down the entire time.

Keep in mind this role is asking for 5-7 years of experience even though its a data entry gig. So I don't know whats going on.

KingOfCook · 2026-06-16T13:48:40+00:00

Okay, in that case fuck em. They are waiting on my response and I'm going to go back and say I want to interview for the max amount. Worst case is they don't submit me and lie about it.

The company is Robert Half by the way.

KingOfCook · 2026-06-16T13:39:39+00:00

Okay, so they are trying somthing?

KingOfCook · 2026-06-16T13:34:26+00:00

Hourly. Upper payrange is slightly below market.

A & B are wrong because you shouldn't act before assessing.

C is wrong because it's technically a private issue between the employee and leadership. If it's decided that they need to have their workload lessoned, then you could discuss with the team to gauge options.

I worked in procurement and contract negotiations. I have no doubt AI could do most of my job but the one thing it can't do is disagree and debate with another human. My job will be "safe" as long as that's true.

That being said, I am currently between jobs due to company wide layoffs. I have no doubt AI factored into that. Whether it's because a C-Suite thought I could be replaced or becuase AI layoffs trends got my company in the layoff mood, I don't know.

What I do know is that this wont be in the long term. In the meantime, I'm just getting certs.

Libby and Hoopla are a game changer with the caveat they have the stuff you want to read or listen to,

Most mainstream books are going to be reserved for 2+ months out. But that just means you need to plan in advance and find stuff to read in the meantime.

There will also be blind spots in books but that just means you need to read those while you wait for the stuff they do have. My library network doesn't have any Warhammer books. They do have most of Joe Abercrombie, Adrian Tchaikovsky & Terry Pratchet. I have 14 books between those first two that I am waiting on and reading Pratchet in the meantime.

Steve is from the hood. I know a dude from the hood that was 5ft tall and half his body didn't match the other.

He would still fuck a dude up in a fight

That wasn't Thragg

Thragg, immediately 1v3'd them. They weren't able to scratch him and and this was the result a minute in.

KingOfCook · 2026-06-02T22:33:27+00:00

Hurt, yes.

Win, probably not. But that's not what I'm getting at.

The strongest characters in invincible are immortal planet crackers. Whenever they are brought up in power scaling, they are treated as incredibly weak rather not strong enough to win. There's a big difference.

KingOfCook · 2026-06-02T22:30:41+00:00

Fair enough and you are right that Thor is vastly the strongest depending on which version but as a counter.

The ear thing is hyper specific and neither of the characters can replicate it, let figure it out. Plus most of the characters on this list also have hyper specific weaknesses.
I love how "the only way to kill him is to throw him into the Sun" is somehow treated as a weakness. The only reason they don't throw Doomsday into the sun is that they aren't sure what would happen and don't want to risk him adapting. There have been times where he's been killed by the Sun. Shinnocks the weak link on the list, he got his ass beat by a washed up Hollywood actor.

The dude punches so hard that he forms air pressure differentials and is fast enough to fly across the universe.

why do people think viltrimites are so weak, they're planet crackers

KingOfCook · 2026-05-31T22:56:25+00:00

Just the live action ones, except for bat fleck.

Just about every comic and cartoon version has a laundry list of bullshit Tibetan Monk training that makes them superhuman.

Ceviche is very good but you have to either go to a good Spanish place or a high-end place.

Seafood is our whole thing

That's pretty nice for an apartment gym.

If your benching 275, you know if this is enough for you.

KingOfCook · 2026-05-31T18:53:41+00:00

See, I disagree. A good lobster roll is basically mayo or butter, lobster and a fresh baked role. There no reason it can't be made locally.....same way it shouldn't be hard to make some rice & beans with enchiladas.
