  • In a similar boat. 3 years ago I got like 3 offers after like two months of interviewing, plus a bunch of other interviews I bombed. Now I'm not even getting phone screens, despite having more experience.

    AI is eating everyone's lunch on top of everything else

  • Usually people talk about the pre tax cost.

    I have a tinfoil hat theory that the taxes are kept like that to give people a recurring, low grade, anti-tax sentiment. There are a lot of crazy idiots that don't want government to exist here, so by making people feel bad about paying taxes (instead of obscuring that by baking it into the listed price) they can win sympathy.

  • One: Where are they going to go? They could move someplace more lawless, and then maybe get killed and lose everything.

    Two: Ok, go. Leave your stuff here, though. Spreading wealth out over more people is better for everyone.

  • Cool. I've been off Spotify for years. Buying music from Bandcamp and similar has worked out. (Though now that I'm unemployed I'm not spending any money, but like I always say if capital wants me to spend money they have to pay me some first)

  • I wonder if it would change anything if instead of a quiz you just like handed people a printout of like a summary of how government works from Wikipedia. Like, maybe convert some people who think the president makes laws.

    It would probably still be corrupted by conservatives, sadly.

  • I don't want to share my location nor have anyone else's shared with me.

    Friends and partners can text "I'll be there in 5"

    My friend shares her location with her mother. Her mother then nags her with like "Are you seeing someone new? You're spending a lot of time in north brooklyn now." Like, who needs that, or even the temptation of that?

    A tech solution is not going to fix a social/mental problem like fear of cheating.

  • The cops always park in the bike and pedestrian lanes in prospect park, and it makes me so mad.

    Personally I feel like if you park in the bike lane for any reason that's not life or death, people should be allowed to do what they want to your car. Maybe move it. Maybe key it. I don't care. It's a hazard for everyone.

  • If I was going to make something like this, it would have to incorporate trust chains. I don't care if some maga-hat says this lady is horrible. I care if my good friend Alex says she's horrible. One person's "this person won't shut up about communism" is a big red flag (no pun intended) but for someone else that's the dream.

    When you sign up, you'd need to be referred to someone or be a root node. Anyone connected to you can be weighted differently. If some section of the tree is misbehaving, prune it.

    But that's a lot of work
