Corla Plankun posted:i'm too ignorant about it to have a problem with it, but i've seen things on leftist twitter about resource extraction in general being haraam while "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" has a lot of truth in it, the conclusion should not be that the elimination of consumption is possible or desirable. where in an ideal world (at current technological levels) consumption of oil should be eliminated on its own terms (as the consumption itself is bad), consumption of iron is largely fine as long as it is not outright wasteful of the finite resource. leftist twitter likes its absolute extremes, but most realistic leftist utopias would have plenty of mining.

If you find yourself consuming iron, you make have pika and/or anemia.

there's no ethical consumption under any alternative modern system either. the hunter-gatherer societies really had ethical consumption though. farming was a mistake, we need to go back to our roots.

idk about you guys but I'd love to return to a time when 12-18 hours of every day was spent just getting enough calories to wake up the next day and do it again until the moment you die

I've just noticed that a bunch of candidates who are coming in through our "diversity route" which is meant to be a way for people to join without a great degree or having worked at local big tech equivalent are pretty obviously qualified for an interview on their CV alone, no need for an alternative route. Idk what this says about our hiring process, probably that our requirements are super dumb.

I'm on the final round of interviews now; I had one this morning, and have one Tuesday and one on Wednesday, so the gauntlet is nearing the end. This morning's interview went great so hopefully the next two are similar!

Shortly after finishing my final interview, I got an email from the hiring manager to tell me that my interviews went well and I had great feedback and that they'd be making me an offer soon and to watch for the official email from the recruiter. I was very appreciative of this, the whole process of looking for a new job has been very anxiety inducing and I thought it was nice of him to let me know the outcome was positive instead of making me wait for the recruiter to get in touch
