  Not sure about this situation but I know my company interviews for jobs in order to get redundancy picks. Interviewed someone for a position that had already been hired for, then three weeks before they job was supposed to start the guy phoned and said he wasn’t going to continue with the company for the position. The person that was interviewed late got a call back and hired.

  We hire for a short term seasonal job and people screw us over all the time by accepting the job and then continuing to look for a better one and bailing at the last minute, so we have to interview a lot of people as backup options. Had three people bail last minute this year, one of which we didn’t have enough time to re-hire for and had no backups so now we have to try and cover it on top of our normal duties which is a big strain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I never got a PlayStation but I was holding out for a PlayStation 6 once it finally got released. If there is no version for physical discs I will definitely not be getting one. Nothing worse then wanting to play a game you haven’t played in a while and then having to redownload it because you had to delete it to free up space for other games.

  So much nicer just to be able to throw a disc in and go.

  You can keep cash in a credit card slot in the phone case. Maybe not coins but I usually keep a 5, 10 and 20 on me for emergencies. Sucks to need to buy something and your phone is dead or fell in water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it would be great for a lot of our transportation to be underground. Underground roadways if needed, otherwise a much expanded subway system in cities

  Road cause so many issues it’s ridiculous. Have all the roadways and motor vehicles underground and only pedestrian/bikes up top with green spaces and public areas.

  Those are some very clean, new looking vests in the background… as if they have never been used by a real worker.

  Because he gets a steady supply of money and then in 10-20 years it will be worth 100 years of your rent on top of the 10-20 they collected already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Steam were to shut down tomorrow how much money would you have lost in total on games / DLC ??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably over 10k CAD. Not sure how old the account Is but it’s quite old.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill to raise minimum wage to $25 an hour will be introduced in Senate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🤔 Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even know why they charge such high prices.

  I don’t work in academia but I am curious about thing and look up papers all the time.

  I have never bought a single one at those ridiculous prices. But if they were reasonable like $1-$3 or something I probably would have an di imagine a lot of people would have.

  You make more if 100 people buy a $1 item than 3 people buying a $30 item and the world benefits more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a treat it’s worth it once in a while but definitely not regularly unless you are quite wealthy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come soccer and tennis never caught on in the states? Also why hasn't there been an NFL team vs a Soccer Team and vice versa. Just to prove which is the better sport? Details inside.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not a sports person in general, but I have as much enthusiasm to watch a tennis match as I do to watch a game of ping pong. I don’t get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t forget to regularly check your eyes!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, simple. Roman numerals. 1,2,2,50

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s only for about two months thankfully, which results in 6 months of 4 day weeks and a few weeks of extra vacation time. Biology is pretty seasonal so April/may are quite busy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not saying multigenerational housing is a bad thing, I’m just saying it should be the only option for a lot of people who would prefer to have their own space. I’m in a multi-generational household myself and it has its benefits and faults.

  You shouldn’t be forced to live that way because it’s you’re only option though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The people saying living in a multi-generational home isn’t so bad are also the most likely to complain that the country is turning into a third world country (where multi-generational homes are common) because of immigration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I worked an average of 12 hours a day last month, 251 hours. Had zero life.

  Make up for it in the winter when I work 4 days a week 😆

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Zero

  Just don’t have the drive. Perfectly happy with not bothering with the social dynamics required to flirt / commit etc. I don’t have much need to have a partner either short term or long term.

  No idea if I’m just weird or if it’s a somewhat common thing for some people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t see it as being a high expenditure business. Majority of spending should be towards rent/mortgage and repair and maintenance. It’s not like there is a lot of consumables or anything. All that money has to go somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm just better⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be really weird going to work at 5am instead of 8am, despite the sun being out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be The Sunshine ☀️⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the person you responded to, and I generally don’t camp in the left lane, but when I am in the left lane and actively passing someone, more often than not there’s some dude behind me that can’t even wait for me to get 20’-30’ in front of the vehicle in the right lane before I switch and they speed up and wedge themselves through the gap on and angle between us to zoom off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨buttery males⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately stuff like this is why some people don’t vote for Democrats.

  A lot of them don’t know what a metaphor is so regular talk like this makes them feel stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Single player, open world, fantasy, RPG games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently playing Windrose which is early access, ticks most of those boxes except for the alive world. There are communities you can go to for quests but most NPCs you can’t interact with.

  It’s also a survival craft so you build your base.

  It’s a fantasy pirate setting rather than old knights and wizards setting.

  Character creation is somewhat limited but you can tailor it to be more ranged/agile or beefy/heavy hitter etc.

  Still early access though so could be improved

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Very normal and safe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  True, I did forget that it might have been useful for me in one very specific instance where there was a comments section in one of our excel forms and I wanted to summarize the most common words mentioned in those comments. Couldn’t figure out how at the time but this could potentially have figured it out. Not sure I would trust the accuracy of it’s result though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Very normal and safe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  … You aren’t supposed to use it for math… In excel? What is the point?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Very normal and safe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How is this easier than just typing in sum(a1:a3)??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even if we found a feasible way through physics to travel through time, wouldn't it still be impossible due to the evolution of bacteria and our immune systems?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Couldn’t we eliminate coal from ever existing by transporting wood eating fungi and bacteria back in time to the carboniferous period where the coal deposits were first formed?

  Then the industrial period probably never would have happened, or at least delayed a lot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Walmart wants a fucking review of this common ass jug of milk. Go ahead shitposters, review the fucking milk.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There will be dozens if not hundreds or thousands of people who legitimately review that jug of milk for Walmart for free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Double Plug Experiment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It could also be that they needed to mud/tape around the opening for the plug in the drywall/plaster and it changed the consistency/chemical makeup just enough to not be as friendly to the growth of mold (less moisture/denser etc)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah agree

  It’s a fucking fox, why does it need to have a specific gender? It was genderless by default they don’t need to announce it one way or another, other than to pander to people.

  If it has a higher gravity would the atmosphere technically be lower since it will squish up closer to the planet?
