“Nobody wants to work anymore!!!! >:(”

So far, jobs I’ve applied to have lied to me about:

- where the job was. The posting listed a town a few minutes away from me, but the interviewer said I needed to commute to NYC 5 days a week, an hour plus for me.

- remote options. They promise remote work until the interview, when they tell you remote is no longer supported.

-the hours. A number have listed full time only to tell me they could only offer part time, but the worst offended told me I could only have 8hrs a week

- how much the job paid. Posting promised 20$hr, the interviewer said it was minimum wage, 12$ in NJ.

- that the job was paid at all. It listed something like 50k a year at the top, but reading the job description, revealed it was an unpaid internship

- the job itself. I applied for a graphic design position, but during the interview they told me that I had to work as a door to door salesman for their product for a year before I could be “promoted” into the job I actually applied for.

-hiding the fact that that it was a military job and that you have to enlist. Nope nope nope.


I dont know how much of it is employers just don’t know how to use job posting websites properly (like the guy in South Africa who listed his location in nj) but I think if you post the pertinent information people are looking for and then contradict it later, you make it clear you don’t respect the people you need to hire

i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist

Artificial violence is not actually a corrupting influence but hanging out with assholes sure is.

also, I think we could probably recognize that like… there is a difference between a game where you beat up a half demon alien cyborg or whatever, and a game partially funded by the US military that glorifies hyper-realistic military operations in a “middle east” coded setting, where everyone with brown skin is an enemy that needs to be gunned down. Like, those things are different.

And boy are they clumsy

Hi, these bees are babies! They’re not clumsy at all, this is what is called orientation flights. After birth and before beginning their careers as foragers (as all Honey bees cycle through all the jobs in the Hive throughout their lifespan), Honey bees take short flights back and forth, to and from the Hive, to orient themselves with their wings and their home so they can learn its location and how to get back home after foraging! Everyone has to learn, these are just smol little baby turkeys. Bees use the angle of the sun for location so adults have a better and more direct sense of location than any human

IM SO PLEASED TO LEARN THIS!!!

They are just!!! Student drivers!!! 😭

Honestly, we’ve only seen deep sea fish at their worst. Deep sea fish are like the opposite of the fast food expectation vs reality meme.

Was expecting an art post but got a lecture on fish pressurization instead


If that’s not 100% accurate description of this hellsite, nothing is.

i was expecting some allegory about how some people need a certain amount of pressure to function properly but nope it was just a post about deep sea life

lesbianralzarek:

more disabled mad scientists. you’re telling me that this bitch follows perfect lab safety and has never injured themself? are you sure? no brilliant flash of eureka and then realizing that actually that was just a normal kind of flash and now they are blind? they never experimented on themself? they put on that psychic helm and it didn’t give them brain trauma the first time? i want the wizard who invented the fireball spell to have also invented prosthetic hands

for every great idea, it exists in avatar the last airbender
