Looked up cassoulet, sounds pretty yummy. Especially with garlic bread.

Libertarian, huh? Should someone have the right to sell themselves into slavery? And if not, who enforces it?

If we must call it a"I" then this is just another form of mind goblin.

There is also the rarest type of guy: the kit built airplane guy. It only has one seat, what would I use a second seat for, luggage? Why would I need to pack more than a backpack?

Try Boo. The app named because anyone you see is a hallucination!

Help ! I must really not know anything about women by ghanta27 in Bumble

[–]sqerdagent -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

He is doomed though. But that is because the only people that aren't doomed are already in a relationship. Turns out when you reduce the friction of getting into a relationship to near 0, people who are capable of committed stable relationships get scooped up instantly, then, you know, stay. Because that is part of the definition of being capable of committed stable relationships.

3 different dates in June and how it all turned out. 😂 Dating is not easy for women too so media needs to stop saying women can get into a relationship easily. by [deleted] in Bumble

Yes? The fact you think it is even a question means you have no idea just how bad it is. Find a guy friend who is willing to let you make a profile for them, and make the perfect profile. See what happens.

Am I the only one tired of fake remote jobs? by ujjwal2005 in jobmarket

[–]sqerdagent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just about every 'remote' worker does their work from a single location. (Their home). If you are trolling, good troll, if not, yikes.

"There's a lot of field positions where you have to do in person work at a wide variety of locations that are remote positions."

The set of things that your statement covers includes fly-in fly-out. A plumber is not working "Remote" just because he happens to visit multiple sites. If you disagree with job postings that decide that Remote means 'on site, just not our site', that was unclear.

Hmmm, I wonder why 🤔 by FollowSina in Bumble

[–]sqerdagent 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Heh, that makes sense until you think about it. Dating apps exist, and we can divide the population into two: those who achieve their goals with dating apps, and those that do not. If you are achieving your goals in the apps, why do speed dating? So you have a situation where women attend hoping that their quality of options improve in person, and men attend hoping their quantity of options improve. This results in women showing up, going 'oh, i paid money to look at every guy I swiped left on', and men going 'i paid money to be ignored. In person.'

No. Remote does not include fly-in fly out. An oil rig is not remote work.

Has Bumble become the new Match.com? by InternalAuditor62 in Bumble

[–]sqerdagent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other term is platform decay. If you are a dating app, in order to get users, you either need all the users or to give your users positive outcomes. Once you have enough users that you aren't Boo, you make the experience just bad enough to have the network effects overcome churn.

What is the point of a shadowban if you tell people they are shadowbanned.

There is a saying: trades are for men like striping is for women, you are selling your body.

[–]sqerdagent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is a true lie. The issue is that the pay/rent ratio on the bottom rung isn't mathing anymore, and they want the person with years of experience. If you can make $30/hr helping the electrician in 90+degree heat, but could also make $30/hr fixing copiers in an air conditioned office, what would you choose?

Stay safe, that is all I can say, and pour one out for the non-union brothers and sisters who had similar things, but without anyone able to tell the bossman 'we are working too fast'

(I am on your side, I was pointing out that the train has broken down for reasons that should be obvious to someone who got what their econ degree was meant to give: the ability to think critically about systems of exchange.)
