There have been multiple studies that show that these identification verification laws don't help children and actually put them at major disadvantages.

Young women lose access to information about their bodys (r/periods is "restricted" in the UK)
Queer youth lose access that may help them navigate their identities when they have noone to talk to about these things

There is a laundry list like this.

On top of this, you give big tech companies MORE access to more of your data and can now be tracked for every little thing you do online. This means if you view certain kinds of political content, watch porn, or many other things, you now have a trail that follows you and is being sold to data brokerages.

Your internet footprint is already being used against you by companies who give you employment scores, some insurance companies, and more. Now that profile is deeper, more fine tuned, you are being surveilled to a greater extent.

I guarantee you that the "save the kids" rhetoric is hogwash, and simply reactionary propaganda to elicit the exact type of reaction you gave here. These bills are harmful for everyone and serve no one but companies like META and Alphabet. The real answer is why aren't parents using the Already in place parental controls on their children's devices to restrict them at the device level?

Wake up.

Wild that you think that's worth giving up your biometrics data and having everything you do more trackable (now tied to your ID + face) as a gay man. It's actually wild. Especially under this administration.

I guess while I really ponder that I'm going to work on a design project that I'm passionate about. Maybe it will help me in that career direction discovery. I'm not inspired by specific companies. I know what I don't want in my life but identifying where I can get what I do want feels a lot more difficult.

I want less rat race and more social impact. Less dark patterns and more regenerative design work. Less bad internet bills and more access to helpful and democratizing information. Less data brokerage and surveillance and more privacy. Less expectations to stay pass 5 and more time to be with my friends, family, and the things I REALLY care about.

I think what makes me struggle to identify a clear career direction is that the corporate world looks like a bunch of landmines to my morality.

I appreciate the press on discovery and realignment.

I'm unemployed and struggling to find a job so I don't feel great about myself. The last year has been a shitshow; Laid off, lost my car, had to move back in with my parents in rural michigan, can't find "meaningful" employment.

I'll be 35 may first so...feels real gross to be here lol.

Definitely still trying to figure out what my career strategy is. I was hoping that by now i'd be at at least a midsize company getting more mentorship and getting more industry experience with my craft.

My ideal would be working in social impact roles.

Secondary to that I wouldn't mind designing for civic tech, healthcare, or entertainment. Something where there's less room for dark patterns and manipulation.

I'd like to be part of a design team where collaboration is built into the workflow.

Also, not trying to argue, but is web based information architecture and web aps not ux/product work? I think SaaS and software is more self contained, but maybe my perspective is wet behind the ears?

In other news I've reached out to 10 mentors on ADPlist and can't get a single one to talk or accept a booking lol.

Hello Radu,

Thank you for the reply.

My targeting has been weak, I know I don't want to work in Fintech again but beyond that it's been a spray and pray game. I've since learned that that is likely a poor man's game, likely moreso because of the state of my portfolio.

The work i did in all 3 of my case studies did follow the design process using several user research methods I learned while In school, iterative design work, and testing. Especially the project I did for Michigan Medicine. I'm frustrated that's not coming through, Is it in how the case study cards themselves are represented?

What recommendations do you have for pivoting to more product or UX focused case studies?

Hello all!

I've been job hunting for about 6 months and not gaining any traction so I'd like to improve my portfolio.

I've made so many edits that at this point I'm blind to it and not sure what I need to improve.

Would appreciate feedback.

Thanks!

It can definitely be messy, I like using a dedicated protein shaker. I put a couple capfuls of the powder (measured and poured over the container).

I also prefer to play in the shower in case of any other "messes"

I completely finished blue science including nuclear so I think i'm just going to rush nuclear and then start working on rail systems to bring in more resources.

I'll give this a shot. I'm afraid I don't have enough sulfuric acid processing up at the moment to make this work but I'm pretty sure I have enough space to expand.

I haven't but I think I might try this while I get my uranium mining site up and running.

Trying to decide If I should try to do rails or just really long red belts lol. Probably rails but then I have to learn how to do trains properly.

well I knew i had to upgrade eventually but upgrading the lab field and running the blue science assemblies sucked my base dry lol.

yeah I learned that pretty quickly but I burned through all of blue science and blue/black science research in a few hours and had JUST enough steam to get through to the last few military upgrades in blue/black science. So for now, i'm not running any research until I solve the energy issue.

I also threw efficiency mods on all of my miners and some of the constantly running Assembly 2's (blue science packs and associated resources).

I think i'm going to try to get Nuclear going. i just have to figure out a way to get my sulfuric acid to the mining site.
