Have been helping my kid apply for jobs, which has been a really interesting experience. Next step is for him to do a chat interview with an ai thingy

oh nononono. Anything that asks for recorded video should be viewed with DEEP suspicion. Check all the paperwork, chances are you’ll find buried somewhere some AI slop bullshit that says they are granted rights to use his voice / face
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 months ago
The government and some of the banks do the AI recorded interviews. Wouldn’t look very good if they use the data
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Uh oh 😟

It’s good you’re doing this. I remember when looking for jobs explaining to my parents that the local Big W doesn’t do it’s own hiring and you have to apply online for the head office to look at. Sometimes parents don’t realise how much the job market has changed
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It’s been an eye-opening experience - much different to the process when I last applied for a job
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Helped my daughter recently with this. She didn’t get shortlisted but good experience.
I feel bad cause the job search process for youngsters is soooo much different than back in my day

With all the crap that’s going on in the world I am SO HERE FOR a good old heist www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-19/…/105909826
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
As a lover of heist docos and movies, I’m looking forward to this one.

You’d think the louvre would have learned after that kerfuffle with the Mona Lisa

Minions, tonight, we steal the moon!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
a classic
there has been construction and renovation at the museum
the thieves dressed as construction workers and used construction equipment openly
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Ah, the ‘old high-vis vest and clipboard’ trick. Gets you in anywhere
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 months ago
There are not enough good old fashioned heists these days. I blame the younger generations and their addiction to screens, everything has to be online scams, they’re not willing to get their hands dirty and go for the hands-on high-value jewlery theft.

Woke up with a migraine. Bed all day. Luckily I have a physio appointment tomorrow :(
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Nothing quite like waking up to the sweet sultry tones of Methaniel mething out in the alley. The warm weather means mating season for the native MethMen has arrived, nature is truly mysterious and wondrous.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Soon you’ll be serenaded by the sound of random jacking off! That’s their mating call for Methany.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I do not miss the Methmen

I just told a guy smoking in the supermarket to take it outside and he did. He was out the front when I left but I was holding a bottle of cordial by the neck which has a certain look to it.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
What flavour were you gonna sacrifice?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 months ago
There has been good rain overnight (the garden rejoices) but I managed to miss it all on my morning dog walk. I am taking this as a good omen for the day ahead.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Good morning.
The birds are singing.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Feel the migraine maybe coming back… Goodnight all, from the household suddenly covered it cat fluff ❤️
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
rest up and relax
good night
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
tomorrow is hair dye day, doing lots of paper work, making appts, reading up on some more physio,
and listening to more frankenstein , I still don’t understand the creature’s motivation or why Frankenstein ran away
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’m happy to look over any physio or adjacent solutions if you want another opinion in the advice. Someone may as well get some value from my education.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Thank you so much, I’ll keep that in mind. n/k

I think the creature was angry to have been created only for his ‘father’ and the world to fear and despise him (and leave him in isolation).
Frankenstein ran in terror and disgust at what he had created and also because the creature wanted serious revenge. Since Frankenstein broke his promise of making him a companion and destroyed the creature’s bride to be rather than finish her.
Taleya@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Godsamn. We had some pumpkins about to turn so we decided to give the food processor a go…
… literally throw your raw fuds in and go. 25 mins later there is soup. Marvellous
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
wondered why I had hayfever, forgot my antihistamine today
all my stuff and prep for tomorrow done, now to make a detailed list for tomorrow’s tasks
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’ve decided to sell my iPhone and grab a Samsung. It’s been interesting but it’s really locked down. I have giant thumbs and I can’t even change the keyboard size beyond a tiny fraction.
It’s 2025!!!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
it is interesting
maybe apple expect users to use predictive text much more, hence they don’t care about the little keyboard
also they have ipads which have huge keyboards, I don’t know if ipads are as useful as a phone, one thing I know is they don’t fit in a pocket or handbag
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Listening to the rain outside is nice.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Driving through it was a bit dreary. I also feel a bit cheated, it was clear when I left Ballarat and I was looking forward to a nice sunrise. Then I hit fog, then rain and its been grey and drizzly ever since with no sign of sun at all.

There was general excitement at work today because the new Soul Origin had opened nearby. You know that place always in the middle of shopping centres that sells whatever salads?
Well, a Carl’s Jr closed down near work and Soul Origin of all places moved in. This is a free standing building with a drivethrough. I probably won’t go over the local cafes too much but at least I can get a coffee after 2 somewhere nearby now
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I have found they do really nice food.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’ll probably end up having more of it now so I’ll be able to develop more of an opinion. My biggest memory with them is i got the chicken schnitzel salad for my kids a while after they started solids and it was weirdly spicy so they couldn’t eat it
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Soul is good. It’s a nice light lunch but still filling.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I always found soul origin to be a pretty decent lunch option
tone212_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Soul Origin as a drive through? What a strange concept.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
You’ll have to cone to to Epping and try it out
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 months ago
A relative made us these balls with dessicated coconut on them. There was some coconut in the container so my mum told me to throw it on the grass. Instead of just pouring it on the grass, I let it snow, and the dog jumped off the deck right as it was falling. Dog looked like it had snowed on him. I would’ve taken a picture but he was not going inside with coconut on him.

Ok if any Tame fans want some sort of redemption after the new album, the Tiny Desk all acoustic concert is cool!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
goodnight everyone
sweet dreams :)
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I have benevolently given myself another week off (with manager’s blessing).
Time to live the life for a few more days.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 months ago
You earnt it. The man’s gonna be sick tomorrow so we’re probably gonna go shopping.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 months ago
We may do the same. I love getting stoned and going shopping.
Talking shit and not giving a shit is zen.
Helping oldies and the same time telling people to back the fuck off when their trollies get too close to me. Suburban bliss.
