  Yeah but every application like that I have has also has individual questions about meeting the requirements. So why filter by ocr tags? If I’m going to lie on the questions I’m probably fine doing so on my resume too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms?⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m asking why the resumes need to be filtered by tag in the first place? Why not just filter them by the job that is being applied for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Or you could just filter based on the job being applied for?

  AFAIK the only US state in which bananas can grow is Hawaii and they don’t grow that many so they are mostly eaten locally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox pulls Gears video featuring a PS5 logo, 24 hours after announcing it as an exclusive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t mostly the surveys will always show that consumers want whatever the CEO was thinking about doing.

  That aside though even taking this one at face value I have a really hard time believing that people care. Like how petty do you have to be to not want people on a PlayStation to be able to play the same game as you? It doesn’t make any sense to me just from a human perspective. What the hell

  But even more they’re both just PCs with a fucking logo slapped on them, which was done specifically so that they would be easier to develop for and so companies would put their games on multiple consoles. If Xbox wants to be more exclusive then they should go back to having more exclusive hardware like using Power PC processors again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox pulls Gears video featuring a PS5 logo, 24 hours after announcing it as an exclusive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So this is what came of that clearly rigged survey from a few months ago where apparently a whole bunch of people still want exclusives on consoles for some reason? I was wondering why they did that.

  Only ED-Beta was capable of that and it wasn’t released until after TNG was on the air.

  The GameBoy Advance had a 240x160 resolution and they released video carts for that. I wasn’t saying it was too low to see faces, just commenting on the technical details of TNG, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨About bajoran's actors makeup⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  TNG and DS9 (and early Voyager) episodes were mastered to Beta tapes which had a best case functional resolution of 280p. This is why the TNG Blu-ray’s took so much effort and why they haven’t done Blu-ray’s of DS9 or Voyager, there aren’t film masters to scan they have to be recreated from the original negatives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! But $500 is still more than I can afford right now. I almost got one when they had the refurbished LCD model for like $280 or whatever it was but I couldn’t even swing that at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me the touchpad are one of the big selling points. I see what you mean by the only $200 difference offering an entirely newer processor and screen, but I honestly don’t know why they would’ve done it with only a tiny touchpad on one side.

  One question I immediately have though, because it took me a minute to even find the Legion go S and there are apparently two different versions of it (2025 & 2026), is how much is valve style support worth? Even though Lenovo is my go to for prebuilt machines right now, I’m not sure I trust them with $1000 handheld over the amount of time that the steam deck has existed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m curious what exactly you mean; Like are you saying it’s just too expensive for what it is or too old or what?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always wanted one of the white Steam Decks, but I have yet to be able to afford one regardless of color. Now it looks like I never will.

  A lot of other commenters have mentioned things that are correct but I would like to add another that I haven’t seen mentioned:

  A lot of people didn’t vote thinking that there was no way the people who do would let it happen again. With the exception of 2020, IIRC, the “winner” in pretty much every recent election has been the non voting block. Meaning more people don’t vote than do.

  Likewise, I’ve been unemployed for 18 months and have watched as several things I would really like to get have become too expensive anyway.

  This is correct, lots of places that were 9 to 5 would give people a lunch half hour or a lunch hour that would technically be on the clock. When lunch hours became mandatory employers went well fuck that and made it so you didn’t get paid for your lunch.
