Agree. Checks are the way.
- Comment on Every payment option has a fee 3 weeks ago:
It’s so messed up that some states legally allow merchants to charge a “credit card fee”. Providers of services much like the above can charge if it’s a debit, credit, etc. even if they both say “Visa” on them. The concept of money in the US is so obfuscated now.

To directly quote a painted piece of wood in a pile of rubble on the side of the road after a big flood in Colorado in 2013: Fuck Allstate.

100%. Everything they say should always be inverted.

Insane how weighted response filtering and graph search have existed for eons, to say nothing about the fact the search query could be pre-parsed by an LLM/“AI”, and only now do these moronic companies use hard keyword filters.
Makes you wonder if it’s really “for the children” or just attempts at hard-censoring to train their future AI models.

Interviews right now in software:
- Apply to job
- 1.5 months later receive email to take an AI-“proctored” code interview where you have to show your ID, share screen, cam, mic like some Orwellian njghtmare
- Maybe get a soft-interview with employees where they are just asking you about local weather while seemingly personable, but actually just trying to find out if you live where you say you live
- Possible technical interview with humans where it’s “pair programming” but actually just a human-proctored coding puzzle irrelevant to the job description and the “interviewer” is looking at another monitor surfing reddit
- Contemplate if homelessness isn’t that bad versus all this bullshit
- Maybe retail? Construction? Farming?
- Work at CostCo?
All to get a job to be a condom between Claude and source control as that other recent lemmy post shared.

Snap Inc. is its own company. Not that it is a good company.
