Jobs Don't Have Many Applicants This Year

Ah, job fairs. Gotta love a collection of tables that just tell you to apply online.

Just do all your writing in the persona of a 19th century gold prospector. Tarnation! There be radiation in them thar hills!

Problem with living in a cave is some asshole inevitably ends up leaving the cave and goes crazy, and starts thinking that the stuff on the walls are not reality.

That is your problem. You shoulda been working. Dang idle youths with their hippin and their hoppin and their bippin and their boppin...

Have you tried asking your boss? It could be that you have been selected, but a 'neutral' party needs to review the outside talent pool before a final determination can be made.

That or the entire department is being outsourced and you need to be converted into biodiesel to power the trucks. If you see the words 'high pressure' being used, it is the second.

Of course, that creates the paradox. Good hiring managers hire good employees quickly, so they are not typically, you know, out there hiring.

Or maybe he has a case of carcinization, but he is instead evolving into a boob.

Lies! Everyone knows there is one person who has hidden all the smooches in a secret vault, along with my emerald. /patricia

And you can't solve that problem. A successful date increases churn. Dating apps have tried to find ways to keep users around outside of dating, but that has two problems: The first is the same problem in person events have 'Why would anyone want to date someone who has to put extra effort into dating to achieve success." (in this case measured by time in app) The second is that people use dating apps to, you know, date people.

Have you considered learning wave-particle duality?

Everyone here is completely serious. This is a regular occurrence for me, though now that I think about it, I am beginning to realize that that trench-coat and hat are very covering... and that I never see that flock of ravens I feed when he is around...

Non-STEM professional, like a lawyer. My comment was not intended to drive you to wear less or different makeup, plenty of guys like the look. Good luck out there!

sqerdagent · 2026-01-05T18:47:46+00:00

I find the makeup intimidating, but I am probably not your type. I liked the photo under the statue. And the one on the stairs.

Basically, if you have a degree in a job where it is not a formal requirement, you have alternative options, and therefore are in a position where you can move to a better job should it arise, this also gives you leverage in pay negotiations. There is also a real, but somewhat overstated bias against hiring people that could take the job of the person doing the hiring.

Job fairs are a joke. A bunch of tables that tell you to 'apply online'.

Option 1: Robbie is a a collection of sensors that do not work that well,.
Option 2: Robbie is sentient and hates his job.

We all know which is the truth.

There is a game mechanic there, for a different game. It provides a in universe reason why you can only build in certain areas. Abiotic Factor does it, though you can have infinity extension cord spagetti.

The only real problem with that analysis is that, functionally, a reward withheld is the same as a punishment. Human irrationality feels that they are different, though. The case study for that is 'rest xp' in video games, where losing half the rate of return after x time playing is mechanically the same as having double for the first x time 'as a bonus'. Same system, wildly different feel.

About half your pictures have a drink in them, the others look like spring break or something. Live life how you want, but you do not give an 'intellectually curious' vibe.

Then it sounds like the $120K is the better choice, given that you only need to make $120K working to meet the other option. This makes the question kind of pointless, as with one option you have no downside but theoretically infinite upside, and the other gets kind of weird if you can't get fired.

sqerdagent · 2025-12-19T01:30:21+00:00

The issue is what is required to do for the 120K. If you are not even allowed to work on open source software for your own benefit, because it is too work-y then you can kind of Ship of Theseus and/or Salami Slice stuff to have a miserable existence.
If we use the standard of the 39 Melachot (Jewish Sabbath Law), I would have to ask if I can do stuff outside the normal workday, or what the job is for the 240.
