Fucking idiot. My company uses AI résumé filters. And yes, I do know. I am closely involved in the hiring process. What is it with this oddball-ass belief? AI crap is everywhere now, including in hiring software.
Why has it become conventional PMC liberal “wisdom” that AI résumé filters don’t exist and aren’t used? They are more common that not these days.
I am really having trouble understanding this absurd disconnect.
Most of the rank-and-file RTO advocates get super-incensed when informed that you’re not at work to socialize with them, but to get work done.
For them, it seems work is primarily to schmooze and yap aimlessly but has nothing to do with actually working at all. These are the same motherfuckers who would come by my desk 10 times an hour to “chat,” meaning that I was not able to get my extremely-cognitively-demanding work done while I was actually in the office.
Fuck them and fuck RTO.
There is a paragraph in this Kat Rosenfield piece that I want to fully excerpt here but I won’t as it’s worth reading the build-up as well.
This is something I’ve been saying for a while. Women simply cannot selectively choose when they want to be treated as children. It’s all or nothing. If you want to be treated as a child only when it suits you, that is not on offer; you will also be dealt with that way when it comes to rights and responsibilities as well.
Feminism in the past decade or so has advocated that women hold power with no accountability or responsibility while blaming the results of even their own predictably-disastrous actions on men who had nothing to do with their self-caused fuck-ups. Outside of absurd exceptions like Trump, that’s not how power works or will ever work.
So now women must choose: be treated as little kids with no agency (and thus few to no rights) or own your own bullshit, and take responsibility for your own actions.
Which will it be?
Men have been told repeatedly and with great vitriol in the past to butt out of such discussions as it isn’t about us and our opinions are irrelevant, even if they support fighting against such things as the horror of what was done to Gisèle Pelicot.
So you got the world you demanded. Turns out it wasn’t so great, eh? Congratu-fucking-lations. And now I am minding my own business again, as requested incredibly often in the past. Enjoy.
That article below is one of the few that’s actually made me angry lately. It’s such a profound misunderstanding of the problem, what’s occurring, why it’s occurring, what effect it has and how it all has played out over time in the US. Why bother writing something like that if you’re so clueless? What’s the point? I think it’s just a bit of stotting to demonstrate how sophisticated the writer is.
In fact, I am quite certain of that.
Of the non-Russians, what is it that makes them hate Ukraine so much, to wish for genocide on that people and nation? What makes someone like Ian Welsh be like he is? I have nothing at all in common with the terrible humans who seem to want that nation and those who live there destroyed, all for the glorification of a human waste bin like Putin.
I don’t think I will ever understand how abhorrent some people are. And I’m no saint myself.
People are so pointlessly concerned about burning bridges, even when they themselves get mistreated.
I will burn the bridge and the damn entire town too when someone treats me poorly or gets on my bad side. I do not give a fuck. This policy has served me very well in life, by the way, even before I had a boatload of money.
Accepting abuse meekly just invites more abuse, whether you’re talking in your personal or professional life. And I refuse. I endured that for too many years.
Introverts make the world run and extroverts make it connect. Both are necessary, as much as extroverts get on my nerves at times (not my extrovert friends, though!).
Lately, there’s been a lot of effort to deny that introverts really even exist. Man, fuck all y’all who say this. Introverts are more likely to be laid off when that time comes, more likely to be excluded even from social events they want to attend, and are more likely to be ignored.
Yet those horrible introverts are also more likely to get really difficult things done that require tons of concentration and perseverance, and more likely to be the hidden social glue of groups as they tend to notice things that other people miss or gloss over. The fact is that extroverts are not usually all that emotionally intelligent — they are just gregarious. And that’s not at all the same thing.
And yes, we introverts very much exist.
It’s bad enough us surveilling our own citizens. But letting the CCP do it with near-impunity…are we just trying to lose or what?
Why do so many hiking shoes (not boots) have such thick fucking soles? Come on, I’m not hiking over lava, just walking on a dry trail. I don’t need lifts!
What the hell is up with that?
The problem is being ruled by Excel spreadsheets and the MBAs who wield them. Who, strangely, seem to be in some sort of oddball alliance with the build-nothing do-nothing degrowth left. Excel knows nothing about will and changing the shape of the possible. Much of what we do now was said to be impossible not long ago; our goal now should be to make our current selves look just as clownish in the future.
Anything else is a failure.
Leaving out rejection, this is the most common male experience by far. Really puts the lie to the “MEN ONLY WANT SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111” crack-smoking narrative, doesn’t it?
I can think of a dozen times I didn’t realize until days, months, and sometimes years later when some girl was flirting with me and I did not pick up on it or didn’t want to assume incorrectly.
If I (or most men) actually cared about sex only, those opportunities would never be missed.
Sister, I hear you. We live in a place with a quite mild winter and it still bites all kinda ass. I hate winter and cold so very much.
One day, I will return to my home planet.
Shocker. When you allow mass immigration from backwards societies, shit like that tends to transpire. I will forever feel terrible for my long-time online friend who was driven from her home city of Munich by roving bands of violent North Africans. Should’ve never been allowed.
I’m only talking about in my own field here, not home repair or anything like that (about which I know nearly nothing), but most of the time when I hire “experts” to help me out or do something that’d be difficult for me, they don’t know any more than I do.
This really defeats the damn purpose.
