Disrespectfully, I need anyone who has not looked for a job within the past year to shut up because shit has changed. Your advice and experience doing this in the past means nothing. You have not job hunted like people are job hunting right now, don’t give people false hope with your outdated ideas

I wish we could get every American to read this Guardian article about how the tech billionaire elite are preparing to abandon the masses to slow, agonizing deaths and scheming how they will subjugate special forces, as they cling to power in the post-apocalypse: www.theguardian.com/news/2022/se...
The super-rich ‘preppers’ planning to save themselves from the apocalypse
Tech billionaires are buying up luxurious bunkers to survive a societal collapse they helped create, but like everything they do, it has unintended consequences

I cannot possibly express how much the world needs a comic film starring Billy Zane and Vincent D'Onofrio as brother villains competing both to be the (secondary character) hero's nemesis and the "favourite" son of their mother (Kathy Bates).
Hard R rating, but mostly for language and shenanigans.

If your ad involves someone holding a lavalier microphone in their hand, I absolutely do not take that person seriously on any topic.
I keep seeing it and I get the sense that it's supposed to be appealingly relatable, but... to whom? Is it one of those scammy weeding-out competent people things?

OK, a People's Bailout, a short thread.
The oligarchs have a plan for how to exit the current economic collapse: with bailouts for the biggest banks, financial firms, and corporations.

So, at the bottom of the collapse, you guys know that this ends with the federal government spending trillions in public money to bail out the largest banks and companies, right?
There ARE other options but that will require mass mobilization on a very large scale.

Let my achievement be hereby immortalized:
I have completed The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Stopped buying consoles between SNES and Wii, so never played the original. Bought a DS years ago, but never put the time in that OoT needed until now.
Loved it, but still prefer Link to the Past.

Is there, like, some kind of head-trauma ritual social media managers need to go through ever April 1 to actually find this shit funny?
I mean, I know that marketing people in general are usually pretty stupid and social media people doubly so, but April Fool's Day posts are a yearly low.

The thing is, I'm not fundamentally anti-April Fool's, it's just that way too many people don't know the difference between a good-natured rib and just telling someone a very believable lie.

Look, I fucking hate Trump too, but Mark Carney is still a Stephen-Harper-lite business-and-banking dipshit whose primary concerns are economic and whose solution to economic turbulence is austerity at the cost of social support.
The Liberals are better than the CPC, but they're still shit.

If we speak of political realities as if they are immovable *they will remain immovable* and I think it's high time that we start speaking of possibilities more than impediments.

The thing about chasing charging speeds on-par with gasoline refueling is that, as I've said zillions of times, day to day charging at home or work can be slow AF and you won't care (so for the love of god get more chargers at workplaces and apartments etc.) and also
ffs you could just be patient
ffs you could just be patient
Fast charging is viable, but experts say building the actual charging stations will be the tricky—and potentially very expensive—part.

Three dickhead college students from the social group inclined to buy a Cybertruck and a wealth bracket able to afford one died due to LOSING CONTROL SPEEDING THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL AREA WHILE DRUNK.
What's the nightmare? That the fourth one survived?

What an absolute nightmare. A high school student saw his friends crash their Cybertruck and rushed to help, but was only able to rescue one of them because the car's doors would not open from the outside.
He watched his three other friends burn to death.

While I'm glad to see Musk's empire fall any way it can, I'm more than a little annoyed at how many of the people replacing their Teslas are moving to gas cars instead of other EVs.
Almost like it wasn't about (misguided) environmentalism in the first place.
