Hell, I'd be interested in working on that. I'm pretty sure I've seen the vast majority of that data on BLS.

Is it even science to say "people will do a similar job for more money, given the chance"?

Musk is a moron, if you've ever actually listened to him speak and think he's a genius you probably think Trump's a brilliant businessman too.
I saw a comment the other day that "Musk is a megachurch pastor for atheists." It's the perfect description.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

The simplest way to predict if someone is likely to job hop is by looking at your working conditions. If it is more pleasant to work for you then they won't be likely to leave.

I remember hearing other people in recruiting say that they tried to avoid hiring people who held positions for less than a year on average and I'd just say "wait, the position you're trying to fill is three months maximum."

they want people who are capable of lying to get ahead. if you can't even lie on your resume for some lovely 3 month job then you are not Misery Corp material

Much like paper writing in school, an interview and the related paraphernalia are, at least in part, a demonstration that you can read the room and produce what's expected

I'm not saying this is the way it should be necessarily, but it's certainly the way it is

lol it's literally the first thing I tell anybody who asks me for job hunting advice: lie. Your default should be to lie. The only things to not lie about are things that you'd get called out on easily - don't lie about like, scheduling or verifiable certifications. But otherwise, don't respect people whose whole job is to underpay you.

the most important thing about job hunting is realizing that your friend who offers to pretend to be a former employer so you can add him to your resume knows exactly how it's done

It was a photo of Jim Varney with Epstein, and the caption "Earnest Fucks Kids wasn't my favourite of the series".

Turns out the photo was fake, my bad.

Wikipedia posted:

The Kessler syndrome (also called the Kessler effect,[1][2] collisional cascading, or ablation cascade), proposed by NASA scientist Donald J. Kessler in 1978, is a theoretical scenario in which the density of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) due to space pollution is high enough that collisions between objects could cause a cascade in which each collision generates space debris that increases the likelihood of further collisions

sidenote on Altered Carbon, while the second season's story was a massive letdown, I *really* liked how it answered the question of "why would the rich make everyone immortal, what's the benefit" within the first couple of episodes showing how commodified every stack is with the mountains of sleeveless stacks being sorted through by scavs

just like, oh, right, everyone is left in an i-have-no-mouth-and-i-must-scream scenario because it's cheaper and they can still be sleeved/spun up in virtual on demand to be exploited as needed, sounds about right
