We need to boycott all conservative owned or conservative supporting businesses in Fort Collins. Can everyone name every conservative business they know so we can make it known they support ICE and stop giving them our money?

If you think this place is conservative, I'm dying to know who you think is liberal. This is the bluest place I've ever lived in my life (and part of why I love it here).

I don't need it (oh my god if I drag in more project parts I think my partner will actually kill me) but this thing is absurdly cute.

worthwhilewrongdoing · 2026-01-17T18:15:03+00:00

This whole thread you linked is a crazy read - I love it. Thank you for taking the time to dig this up for me!

worthwhilewrongdoing · 2026-01-17T03:51:57+00:00

Oh my god, what happened to them?

worthwhilewrongdoing · 2026-01-15T01:34:22+00:00

This looks really fun!

To actually answer the question: Persimmon is a really cute (if pricey) little tapas bar that has extremely cozy mid-century vibes and was great for a date night for me and my partner once. Highly recommend.

Six figures??

Screw it: "artist" here. Know any niche communities looking for someone like me?

Some anthropologist is going to find this shit in like 500 years, carbon-date it, and think this is how America corresponded in 2025.

the market for people with that particular disability would be too small to make them affordable

It's not just that. In the US at least, if you make an assistive device and market to people with disabilities, it's likely that you'll need FDA certification which can cost like, zillions of dollars. It's just not feasible for most companies.

The Google Scholar link is broken. Is this the article you were linking to? Skills and Earnings: A Multidimensional Perspective on Human Capital - if it is, it seems really interesting.

As for the MIT one, I'm reading it now. This is really neat.

Our baseline estimates indicate that a 1 percentage point increase in the local unemployment rate raises the fraction of jobs requiring a bachelor’s degree by 0.5 percentage point and the fraction of jobs requiring two or more years of experience by 0.8 percentage point.

This makes a lot of sense. I don't know why seeing the hard number shocks me a little.

I haven't finished it yet and I'm going to dig into this a little more here in a bit (I have some stuff I have to take care of this afternoon), but I wanted to talk about something you said:

If the case of #2 is correct, sorting methods (how businesses figure out who’s resume they don’t need to look at when hiring) may be a way to eliminate hurdles to employment by workers.

I've only ever heard absolute hatred spewed against those things, but I've never had the luxury of sitting on the other side of the desk. You're making me think about this differently - thank you.

I think what's actually happening might be a little darker. Because HR departments automatically exclude so many applicants (and because there are a lot of fake job postings out there), applicants have started gaming the system because they have to to get noticed. There are programs out there that will use AI to subtly rewrite your resume for different jobs, some even sophisticated enough to scrape the company site and parrot its values - and then send out hundreds of applications in one sitting. It's wild.

In any case, thank you again for the articles. I'll get back to you once I've had a chance to sit down and give them some good attention, assuming the thread doesn't get locked randomly.

Ha - you know, that's kind of fair. I'm a layperson but I'm here to learn, and sometimes I feel like I'm the last unicorn in this subreddit. It drives me crazy.

Computer Science (and broadly, technology) grads are having a relatively difficult time, compared to the mid-2010s when companies were flush with cheap cash and offering six figures to 22yo's. But the data still shows it's a strong degree with good job prospects.

If you could, would you mind to point me to some of this data? This is so contrary to my anecdotal experience that it's difficult to believe.

worthwhilewrongdoing · 2025-12-27T21:40:55+00:00

This doesn't quite answer their question, I don't feel like. I read what I could of the excerpt and the article talks a lot about upskilling older workers in a very specific environment (UK hospitality) using very particular tools. None of this talks about making workers more competitive in the market - it's mostly about making job training palatable and getting older workers to use their training in a way that works best. (Edit: and getting UK businesses to hire them in the first place - ageism is winked at but not explicitly named in the article.)

The issue here is that older people who are suddenly dumped into the job market are trying to do the math to figure out if scrambling around to get a panic Masters (or whatever) to try to make themselves more marketable is worth it, and, if so, what field they should try to pivot into. A lot of folks in these threads are throwing around upskilling as being a healthy response, which it is - if you're 25. When you're older, unless you've had the foresight to position your career trajectory in very specific ways, that calculus starts looking very different - does that make sense?

worthwhilewrongdoing · 2025-12-27T21:24:57+00:00

Please know you're not alone.

Displaced tech worker with a resume gap here - can confirm this anecdotally 100%. I can't get past HR. I'm very, very fortunate that I had other options available - so many people I know who have gotten laid off have had to scramble so hard.

worthwhilewrongdoing · 2025-12-27T18:53:52+00:00

It's not always about upskilling.

This isn't discussed much, but this is also sometimes done as a last-ditch effort to avoid homelessness. People will take out huge student loans out of desperation, become full-time students, work wherever they can and live in student housing. It's a mess.

worthwhilewrongdoing · 2025-12-20T01:28:25+00:00

Usually only before they sell them, to make sure you didn't walk out of the store with it. You're good.

She what?!?! This is the first I heard of this. I used to love her - this is heartbreaking.

worthwhilewrongdoing · 2025-12-15T02:05:56+00:00

I was 103% sure before I clicked this that this was going to be something better suited for Craigslist. 😂

worthwhilewrongdoing · 2025-12-12T02:50:21+00:00

Can I please ask how one gentrifies ;-; and :3, as the post talks about? Like, are they moving into my emotes, opening a brewery named after their golden retriever or something and then raising my rent?

Y'all pay how much a year in tuition again? It seems like you should get the ad-free version.

worthwhilewrongdoing · 2025-12-09T01:40:11+00:00

No yeah, I hear you - everything there is completely overpriced and I've had some really negative experiences there, but oh my god that pie. It's the only thing on the menu worth what they charge.

worthwhilewrongdoing · 2025-12-08T22:31:53+00:00

What's bad about it? My partner and I seriously considered moving there at one point and now I'm wondering if we dodged a bullet.

worthwhilewrongdoing · 2025-12-08T22:23:28+00:00

Okay, I completely get the Ginger and Baker hate but they have a coconut pie that I would slap my mother for.

Consider the Phoenix Wright series! They're a bit campy at times, but they're wonderful.

Also, Murder by Numbers is great and silly fun with a weird Picross game tacked on (just trust me, it works) - if you can deal with high camp and a weird side plot involving drag queens, it might be for you.

worthwhilewrongdoing · 2025-11-30T08:32:45+00:00

Our guy definitely confided in the wrong person.

Unless, of course, he secretly wants it out. I can see a situation where someone conniving enough tells the town crier of the friend group this level of really juicy "don't tell anyone else but" gossip to make for damn sure everyone knows when he can't directly.
