The moron who made this meme did it on a computer that requires literally thousands of innovations that are a direct, replicable product of the scientific method. It is the most powerful philosophical system on the planet, despite its sloppiest practitioners, and it doesn’t require the belief of fucking idiots to work.
Nobody ever asks about gaps on my CV. They always turn me down, list some bullshit reasons, like not enough experience and end with “and then there are some gaps on your cv so yeah”
Boy howdy do i love all of these memes telling us how rich people aren’t scared of folks complaining on the internet. The internet and its abilty to unite the Working Class quite literally has Billionaires quaking in their boots which is why Capitalism is so quickly evolving into out right fascism today. These memes complaining about people complaining might as well be made by Elon Musk or a Landlord, cause they are so clearly trying to act like they arent bothered, all while the rising tide of class consciousness is threatening the status quo that allows them to rob the everyman, in order to aquire vast ammounts of wealth that most of us cant even comprehend. Memes are the new pamphlets and this era of Capitalism is going to end.
Welp, the past 10 years of my internet usage make alot more sense, and I now understand why so many leftist spaces on reddit were just “off” and not actually advocating for anything other than “viva revolution” … holy shit so much makes sense now…
Lmao never said that you little yahoo you. It only takes one or two shills to derail a whole community, especially if they moderate it and make arbitrary rules. Calling that out is far from a typical right wing conspiracy. Its hilarious the assumptions and leaps your comments make.
I just say “it’s personal, and I won’t be discussing it.” If they don’t want to hire me because of it, I don’t want to work there anyway.
It’s absolutely none of their business what I was doing, especially that I went into a deep depression after my mom died and my live-in ex cheated on me while I was caring for her, and then spent a couple years selling her non-sentimental possessions to live off. And I’m not willing to make up some bullshit to hide it either, it happened and I’m not ashamed of it, but I’m not sharing it with interviewers. Meh meh.
I tried to found a startup with a buddy. He had a great idea, but it turned out that he didn’t have the technical chops to fulfill his end. Bummed around after that on money and stocks from my previous gig. When I finally tried to get a job again, I couldn’t get a callback to save my life.
I kept moving down the food chain all the way to regular physical labor. I couldn’t even get a job at a vet or grocery store. Having major tech employment on my resume meant they knew I’d bounce the second I had the opportunity. It was a toxic dilemma resume: too high of a former position to qualify for something like retail, too long without a job to qualify for other office jobs.
I got back on top through a temp gig. Having recent employment got other tech employers to actually consider me again, and I’ve been ok since. I never would have imagined what that gap could do to make me impossible to hire.
Unfortunately this all happened in my early 20s, I went to college after, but there’s still a big gap that can’t be explained by school alone (and it’s a gap because I had military service prior to that which I always list)
I got stuck on the tempy-go-round (only able to find contracts due to gaps, and too many contracts to land a permanent job - several employers asked why I prefer contracts… I don’t, it’s all I could get… but that answer is it’s own can of worms…). I finally found a permanent job and realized I spent so much time on contracts that I can’t do the same thing day in day out for more than a year without driving myself bonkers. Ultimate catch-22.
So I’m going back to contracts. However, not entry level desperation contracts, ones actually using my degree. Covid remote work was an absolute silver lining for my field - used to be impossible to find positions, now they are there and pay super well (6 mths to make what I make in a year now), but mostly contract.
Potatoes are amazing. They grow easily in a wide variety of soil and produce food which has every nutrient we need except for a complete protein. And, they’re a vegetable, so you can tell someone you’re eating your vegetables and then go to McDonald’s for some frenchy fries
Potatoes are fucking immortal, I recovered some of last year’s from a planter whose soil was so dry it was almost sand, planted them again, watered them and they immediately sprouted vines and leaves.
In psychological terms that is actually what we refer to as the "Dorcelessness Syndrome". I have studied psychology for multiple years now (Fun fact: I actually did my doctorate on this condition) and it is actually a really fascinating condition that, so far, I personally have only seen once in the field (Though a good handful of documented cases exist).
What was not mentioned in this post, is that this condition is not inherently "contagious" but should still be treated ASAP, as it will otherwise lead to other damaging conditions, the longer it stays untreated. If you find or know somebody, that is feeling dorceless or even just appears to be dorceless, get them to professionals immediately.
Prolonged dorcelessness leads to a loss of identity at best and interplanetary genocide at worst (so far), in all according documented cases.
