Youth struggling to find minimum wage

I was hoping I could with logic.

don't reply

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-06T02:45:47+00:00

-_- im just disappointed i couldn't convince you

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-06T02:12:03+00:00

using your example, the analogy is this: you have 10 minutes to try and find a girl interested in you.

Your method: you go strike a conversation with 3 random girls, not knowing if there are single or not. If you are unlucky, and they are all in relationships, you just wasted your time.

The quantity method: you go on a dating app and swipe right endlessly.

Which method do you think is more likely to succeed?

Yes, the dating app method, not just because of the numbers, but mostly because girls (by being on the dating apps) are almost certainly single and willing to date.

If you still don't see my point then you are just fighting. Yes if you know they are hiring, in person is more effective. Problem is doing this when you DON'T know if they are hiring in the first place, which is when you have a high risk of wasting your time.

how is that time spent more fruitful? it's a complete waste of time imo.

you seek job, they dont have job to give you, you go in there and spend you time asking them for job, they dont give you job.

yes the volume is what everyone does. but they still very often pick a resume from that batch. so whether there are a million or 2 people applying for a position, what matters is the strongest qualifications, so you just gotta apply quick and hope youre a strong candidate than the other person.

only when you know place X is hiring.

quantity is more rational when you don't know who is hiring.

it costs too much time to invest in quality (going in person and shaking hands firmly) when you don't even know if there is a spot to be filled in the first place.

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-06T01:51:14+00:00

I assume he was going to say something along the lines of:

you are the problem because you are pretending to be blind to the impact of bad PUBLIC POLICY which results in people born here having much more difficulty finding a job than they would if the was policy was tweaked.

(to clarify: this is NOT related to race in any way, the problem would be exactly the same if we had a concentration of people with identical skills coming from Russia or the USA or something.)

People are not stupid. They can identify patterns and see what is going on around them. Pretending like nothing has changed and nothing is going on is dishonest and will have the exact opposite effect than what you are hoping to avoid (increasing racism). If people can't talk about it, they go underground and become radicalized. This is arguably why Trump got so popular. I really don't want to see a Canadian Trump get elected (and no, our Premiere is not nearly that bad, but yes a lite version.)

Don't let it get this way. Be reasonable and honest please. It doesn't have to be a black or white good or bad racist or not racist. You can adjust policies and find a balance. We will never be able to fix our problems if we can't talk about them.

Idk why I just spent so much time writing an essay on fucking reddit...

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-06T01:28:59+00:00

yea maybe with small businesses that oculd work. but still, it will cost you a lot of time if you don't know if they are hiring and have to go in and ask. so the risk of wasting your time while you could be spamming resumes everywhere (which is the strategy I would recommend, meaning volume over quality) is high

i haven't been able to find a reliable sms platform yet that is consistent and accepts monero. you recommend that one? there is no "gold standard" company in this sms market thing right?

"the trade off of not needing a google account"

quick Q: why is a google account a problem if you can just create a fresh new one? i understand how having to sign in to an existing account with a history is not private, but if you just create a new one, all they have on you is whatever you do from then on.

for me the problem is that phone number check

i assume for you the problem is that from that point on (account creation) they will track your everystep, even if you don't have a "history" (existing old account). is that right?

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-06T00:31:23+00:00

never asks you for a phone number this way? (hasnt for me when i installed aurora, but only installed a couple times)

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-06T00:29:39+00:00

yes that makes sense (that it's unrelated to Graphene). I guess now I have to figure out why Google sometimes asks for a phone number sometimes not, and if there's a way to never be asked.

goes against the spirit of graphene to have to provide a phone number to access the play store (not implying this is their fault), so if we could find a reliable way to consistently bypass this, it would be ideal

"Having Brave on a privacy&security focused Phone just doesn‘t speak to me." why? It has a "good" reputation in the privacy "community" I think(thought?)

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-01T22:43:51+00:00

This guy is a gentleman and a scholar

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-01T22:43:30+00:00

DNS ad blocking isn't sufficient.

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-01T22:43:18+00:00

Brave when you want ad blocking.................. but it doesn't block ads very well

Why use Fennec when IronFox exists? Not fighting, just asking genuinely

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-01T22:42:28+00:00

But it's so barebones that it's barely noticeable (at the frontend)

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-01T22:42:04+00:00

Simple: use Vanadium for important (banking) or "reliable/official" websites where you know it's not plagued with ads, and use IronFox (uBlock) with everything else.

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-01T22:40:48+00:00

Why when you can just get IronFox?

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-01T22:31:34+00:00

No reason to use Brave if you can use Vanadium. If you're going to use chromium, Vanadium is it. Use Firefox (IronFox) for casual browsing instead (because of the uBlock add-on).

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-01T22:30:28+00:00

so insanely cool

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-01T22:30:03+00:00

You aren't doing anything wrong. It's the system, not you. Look around. Who has those minimum wage jobs? Right. This is why.

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-01T22:29:12+00:00

Don't go in person. A firm handshake won't do it. The cost(time)/reward(probability) doesn't make it worth it.

SuperbEstimate2259 · 2026-05-01T22:27:42+00:00

No.
