  • Unfortunately, having a job is horrible for your privacy. You’re required to provide full personal details to be hired to an employer with dubious security who forces you to sign up for accounts with likely either Microsoft or Google. Depending on your position you either need to use your personal phone for work (and your work accounts are easily tied to your phone), or carry a work phone with you, which you have even less control over than normal.

    That isn’t really helpful.

    I think to your original question, it’s more about sanitizing what is published. On LinkedIn and Indeed. Whenever possible apply directly through the website. But everywhere is going to require similar levels of personal information. As far as being worried about spam; using another email account is probably easiest. You don’t want to risk missing an important email while you are looking.



  • Not personnel.

    • clear cut forests
    • replant overly dense for farming lumber
    • in a climate dependent on regular smaller fires, fight every fire for 150 years
    • allow and subsidize the buildup of atmospheric carbon and the runaway of global warming and climate change
    • ignore all scientific evidence and pursue only short-term profits

    … Then act surprised and blame everything but the actual problem when mega fires bloom ever larger and more out of control year after year. They even signed a non binding agreement basically agreeing to the above. And, this very much isn’t just California, they just have the local climate with a drought/flood cycle that really exacerbates the cycle.














  • You’ve already got some good advice but in no particular order:

    1. You are much more articulate than a lot of people. You can read and write better than a lot of people.

    2. You’ve been at least emotionally and physically abused

    3. You know how to work hard.

    4. ADHD is somewhat treatable with medication, at least improvable.

    What that translates to:

    1. no it isn’t too late, especially if you keep working hard.

    2. the things you blame yourself for likely isn’t your fault. Therapy, when you can afford it, should be a priority.

    3. working hard is so important for employment. Most jobs don’t require high intelligence. Working hard with a good attitude and working with people is so much more important for most careers.

    4. learning disabilities suck. ADHD is hard. You can still learn coping mechanisms and find ways or a career that fits better with it.

    Life is hard. It’s harder for you than most. It can still be worth living, but it will be up to you to find a way. I think you can.
