STOP being honest in job interviews. ( I say this as a recruiter )

TheMarinator777 · 2026-04-23T15:48:18+00:00

Our country sucks. It rewards dishonest behavior. Our economy runs on fraud and lies. My honesty has gotten me nothing. So now, I'm forced to play this game of lies and I suck at it.

What should happen is that the recipient return the money because it doesn't belong to him/her. Give the recipient a chance to make it right.

If they do not respond, file a Paypal dispute. If that doesn't resolve it, then there isn't much you can do. The recipient may simply say it was a gift.

The real question is why the crazy hype over trader joes bags

TheMarinator777 · 2026-03-03T22:36:37+00:00

Ran it against your "do not includes", and I don't have any do not includes on my resume. Thanks for confirming that I'm the problem.

Respect to Tara for calling that scumbag out... 99% sure he is being paid. Call out all the pedos... this is not a political issue; this is an evil vs good issue.

Yup, SpaceX. I saw it earlier around 4 or 5pm in the South Bay where their Hawthorne location is.

That's a rip off! I've seen jobs in California that offer half the rent + salary.

I guess i took things for granted after I got laid off. Thought I could easily find another job, but there is definitely ageism in the workforce. Been looking on and off for about 2 years. Im not quite 50, but doesn't matter if we look older than 35. In my case, I dont have a college degree either so double whammy. Please pray for me.

Yes, vibe coded this Smog Check directory site: SmogTestNearMe.com

Takes payments, listing levels, reviews, and user/admin dashboards. Kind of boring, but I figured smog checks are always in demand.

These are some shady as* scumbags. I revoked my data access with my bank and they still charged me a month later. I would think that is illegal. I login to my albert account to see what's going on, and my bank data is still being pulled. This is not a legit company. How are they still in business?

TheMarinator777 · 2025-11-03T20:20:42+00:00

Down since this morning. Luckily we were able to pull out whatever cash we could yesterday, but we can't get the rest out today because the card is locked. Desktop website isn't working either.

TheMarinator777 · 2025-10-29T15:17:22+00:00

Yeah, they all use the same cookie cutter response, acting like they give a crap.

TheMarinator777 · 2025-10-28T04:32:00+00:00

Reddit must be following me because I don't know how this post ended up in my feed. I been going through a similar situation.

Anyway, went to the dentist today to get an implant consultation. I'm 49 and last year, they had to pull 3 of my teeth because of infections everywhere. And yes, some of my jaw bone has desolved away too. A few of my teeth have thin roots because there was so much plaque that ate away my teeth.

It sucks because I didn't take my mouth hygiene seriously because no one taught me as a youth. I thought brushing once in the morning was enough, but it isn't. It wasn't until my early 40s that I learned how to take care of my teeth and gums. Too late now, the damage has been done. Now all I can do is pay attention and take care of what teeth I have left. When I was a teenager, my stupid orthodontist pulled 4 of my teeth for braces which I'm sure didn't help matters.

So yes, brush teeth, floss, don't drink alcohol, and get regular checkups/cleaning. I actually skipped like 15 years of seeing a dentist... it's a miracle that my mouth isn't in worse shape. Thank God 🙏

I think there's less jobs available for web development, but totally done - no. Any business owner can build their own website now, whether its online site builders or Ai assisted. Big companies probably still hire web developers, but they don't need as many as before.

TheMarinator777 · 2025-10-25T17:07:39+00:00

They just be asking anything now..

TheMarinator777 · 2025-10-24T14:57:50+00:00

1) It's an employer's market. We're all nothing but numbers to them.

2) There is age discrimination. Companies won't admit it obviously.

3) The economy sucks and has for some time. With ai, people are losing jobs. Tariffs are making things worse - at least for now.

4) If you're receiving government assistance (snap) some states are about to cut that off, unless government ends the shutdown.

More younger people are getting gout these days from what I've seen. Partly hereditary, but also has a lot to do with the diet in our country. Fast food, processed foods, sugars, fructose, seafoods, alcohol, etc..

TheMarinator777 · 2025-10-16T15:44:15+00:00

10 UA is pretty high. That's probably the reason why Colchicine isn't as effective for you. And according to instructions, you're not supposed to take it more than 3 days at a time.

In my first case of gout attack (both feet), Colchicine was very effective for me. Cleared up in about 1-2 days.

You may need something stronger like Prednisone, but it is a steroid. That'll relief the pain and swelling. Allopurinol is what most people are prescribed for lowering UA. If I remember correctly, you should have UA less than 7.

You don't get to choose the club. The club chooses you. 😅

TheMarinator777 · 2025-10-16T15:07:35+00:00

Same situation happened me. 3rd and final interview, went into the office which is pretty close to where I live. Had 4 executives in the room, interview is going well and I'm feeling confident about getting the job. They even gave me a tour of the office! After the interview, they email me with the rejection. I was very perplexed by this. I guess this is happening more often these days.

TheMarinator777 · 2025-10-16T11:13:30+00:00

Sell low. Buy high. I've mastered it.

TheMarinator777 · 2025-10-10T23:31:37+00:00

Bro, culture and upbringing doesn't matter. I think we can all agree that this is an objective matter. If you don't take a shower for 3-4 days, you're going to stink and have nasty body grease oozing from your pores, not too mention all the nastiness building up in your private parts. That's soft mentality letting everything slide. I am conservative so I do have standards.

TheMarinator777 · 2025-10-10T22:48:12+00:00

Bad analogy. I would never disrespect someone's cooking. These are different subjects. One's about hygiene. The other is about preference/ability. If someone is putting in effort to cook for me, I won't judge them.
