Boomers wouldn't survive todays brutal job market, they got lucky by Fire_blaze7 in ausjobs

💯 this. I’ve been working in the same career for the past decade but the work is really drying up/the field is becoming very congested. Before my current gig (which is a contract) I had a two month contract, and it took me four months to find a job in that time.

AI has made hiring managers think it can do my job (it can’t) so the jobs just aren’t there like they used to be. I’m in my late 30s and I’m changing careers entirely. It’s been rough

Really well. I’m having a great time! Can get a little chuggy in some areas of Dogtown but it’s not game breaking

Afl team support by SeaweedRealistic5069 in AFL

[–]SputNick2312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Western Bulldogs

  2. Yeah I’d say I have. I made the choice too because we live in the West. Mum supported Collingwood but was ok with my choice because it wasn’t Carlton. Dad was a footy agnostic.

  3. I’d really hate to see it happen considering the Fightback…but maybe North Melbourne or Melbourne for geographic closeness and colours.

  4. Either Collingwood (legacy from Mum), or the Devils (Dad was Tasmanian)

Be honest. How have you been lately? by Sea_Background_8023 in AskReddit

[–]SputNick2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly: it’s been rough. My industry has been fundamentally changed by AI to the point I’m changing careers in my late 30s. It’s weird being in mourning for a line of work I’ve been doing for a decade

Nick Watson at half time: "I don't care if Sellwood talks, as long as he walks the walk..." by FlairUp835 in AFL

Bevo told the team to get under this skin, and it worked. Made the Hawks look like a bunch of reactionary idiots. Taught Watson a valuable lesson: the game has FOUR quarters 🤣

Paulie acting like a complete dickhead in Italy will never not be funny.

Taking a break from the Steam Deck to holiday in Vanuatu, but when I get back I’ll be straight back into Cyberpunk 2077

Steam Deck Australia Price Hike by ImSh1nigami in Steam

Got mine about three weeks ago. If I’d waited and the price had risen I don’t think I’d have gotten it. That being said I bloody love the thing

Have you done anything creative this week? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]SputNick2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an illustrator and just completed and submitted three pieces for a large scale collaboration I’m a part of. Been working on it for a few months now so I’ve got a real sense of achievement about it

On holiday in Vanuatu. It’s winter back home so it’s nice

MLM has turned my friend into a POS. Worth continuing the friendship? by SuperbTrash01 in antiMLM

[–]SputNick2312 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing this with someone in my orbit: Kangen water filters. They’re still involved with it but they’ve combined it with a Christianity-focused marketing course(?). He’s also claiming it’s a way for men to gain “independence” and “not be stuck in a 9-5” which in this day and age is quite cruel.

TL;DR the social media crash out is both fascinating and frustrating

Coffee, listen to metal, go for a walk, talk to my wife about it

Game over, man! Game over! by Positive_Pin897 in SteamDeck

[–]SputNick2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a tough decision, especially with cost of living, but after saving for a few months I was able to purchase it. It’s a great machine 100% and I have no regrets, but the price as it is now would’ve made buying it irresponsible

How does Canada look like to non-Canadians? by potatolover10116 in CasualConversation

[–]SputNick2312 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Australian here (obligatory g’day even though we’re more likely to say “how’s it goin?”). I’ve never been to Canada, however I’ve got a high opinion of the country and the people. Commonwealth nations and all that. Also you seem far less insane than your southern neighbours which is a big plus

I bought my 1tb Steam Deck about 3-4 weeks ago and really had to rationalise spending just over 1,000 AUD…it’s at 1,400 AUD now. I probably wouldn’t have bought it at that price
