  • I used to be a lot more conservative in my past and even mocked Bernie Sanders for his idea of a “job guarantee” but these days? I think we need it.

    Just applying to a single job these days can take over an hour and you can get rejected from a job because of a personality quiz many jobs have you take. One job rejected me because they said I was “too outgoing for the IT field”

    The fuck?! I guess they only want autistic introverts who watch cartoons and not me, an autistic extrovert who watches live action TV. Reacher is an awesome show, by the way.




  • Convinced my boomer dad to switch to Linux Mint and, much to my shock, he was tech literate enough to figure everything out on his own.

    I then realized the idiot was ME here. When I was a kid, my dad got into piracy because of those “YOU WOULDN’T STEAL A CAR” things as they made him realize you can get shit for free on the internet.

    My boomer dad was the one who taught me about torrenting, proxies, VPNs, burning CDs, and private trackers when I was a kid because he just loved stealing so much.

    Yeah really, getting free movies is what got my dad into being more techy than the average American. He just never used Linux till like 2025.












  • I have around 12 years and some change experience of working in IT, but recently got rejected from a job because 8 of those years were working IT in the Army.

    The people I were trying to get a job with said it didn’t translate. The resume I put in with them had no military jargon in it, I explained the software and hardware I worked with, and for my reference sheet made sure to only include civilian contractors, General Schedules, and the professors from CompTIA, Microsoft, Cisco, and Google whomst I got my certs from so no military personnel, but they still said I didn’t have the ‘correct’ kind of experience.

    What the fuck happened to the job market, gamers?! Like the job market now feels like the dating scene and every single person you wanna have a relationship with is either only looking for a hook up or has stupidly high standards or both! What the fuck do you mean my IT experience in the Army isn’t the ‘right kind’ of experience?!

    Bitch out my dick.
