psyc

9 of 10 recruiter emails I get have 3 or 4 paragraphs leaving me none the wiser about the company, the product, the role, or why they thought I'd be interested. At most I get a vague idea of the sector. I hate to say it, but the only ones that aren't always rancid corpspeak are the ones I get from big tech. I expect GPT-3 to set a slightly higher bar. At least GPT-3 fools me once in a while. Recruiters never fool me into thinking they contact people with care.

And let me get you out the way so gp doesn't get sidetracked. Nobody needs pedantry when the subject under discussion is existentially important, and every normal person already knows what the problem is.

That’s a funny way to say cigarettes are vanishing, and weed is more legal. Stay classy, journalists.

Someone needs to coin the “We live in a society” fallacy already. We could call it the “Mark Renton Fallacy” for short. There’s no such thing as society, and even if there is I most certainly have nothing to do with it. Save for at tax time.

Things that have worked for me, an introvert, include emailing former employers and coworkers, and responding to calls for help on social media including sometimes right here.

I don’t think you know what word salad is. If you do, way to use sly accusations of mental illness to discredit, supporting their point that you can’t win an argument without cheating.

I am this kind. Jeez, how old are you and how many life-shorting conditions do you have stacked against you? My strategy has always been to visit each hobby round robin. I'll spend x weeks on music until I'm not feeling it or I finish something, then switch to animation and do the same, then game programming, etc, etc. I've always felt like there's way, way, way, way too much time in a life time but that's because I spend half of it suffering crippling depression. I'm supposed to be working on animation today but I'm here. Imagine how many planets I'd have conquered single handedly if Eliezer Yudkowsky had never started mentioning this frikkin site. Time to go make some use of that freedom.to subscription.
