This is a dude buying a gaming console for a kid, and he’s already bought it. I would chill a bit lol.
- Comment on The start to a trusting, supportive relationship... 7 months ago:
This seems very much like just a fun jab that immediately breaks the ice, if someone doesn’t go for a second date because of this alone I think they are too easily offended.

It’s weird, it’s kind of like tricking your brain into knowing what’s possible.

They all want that micro transaction/game pass/season pass money, good games aren’t really incentivised

- Comment on [META] Never change, lemmy.ml 11 months ago:
I honestly don’t see how the idea of everyone getting an equal share is an extremist idea in the same vein as a racist ideology. I’m also unsure why you’re being downvoted for pointing out the obvious there.

I know for MtF the temperature tolerance goes down because of physical changes. I’m sure the hormones change things mentally, whether you’re aware of it or not. They’re a big change.

See I normally like this type of game but struggle to get into this one in particular. I’m also confused about most items in it.

Would be nice if there could just be safer cycling infrastructure in general.

It doesn’t help that they own the media and propaganda as you say

I think they shouldn’t be there in the first place - what is education for? Why are we doing assessments at the education level if they aren’t actually valued or indicative of job performance?
- Comment on there is Indeed a problem 1 year ago:
I would disagree, those issues are valid too. Why does every website needs its own account, phone number etc? I get so many spam calls when I start looking for a job because of this. Just e-mail me. I’m not going to check your website every day for 2 weeks just to see if you get back to me.
The spam calls also put less value on actually answering my phone, because half the time it is a spam call. Why does every recruiter need to call? Why does every site need a number when I just need one answer, yes or no. I have my CV, I have my skills on my CV, and with one reply I can send you a very short list of what I’m looking for in 2 minutes, not every job needs a 30 minute phone conversation only for the recruiter to decide they have nothing for me.
And yes, there are magic words the interviewer wants to hear as well. As someone who sometimes struggles in higher pressure situations (which my field does not require at all btw), and also struggles with using the correct vocabulary or recalling random phrases and key words they want to hear, it’s frustrating to no end.
Honestly, I feel this should have all been streamlined by now, especially when I’ve already worked somewhere for years and my company has been satisfied with my performance - why is this not enough? Why can’t this be quantified somehow? An alternative which very few companies do is give me a technical/practical interview that’s actually like the job as advertised. Much easier for remote roles, but can be done in person too. Let me do the job, show you I can do the job, and then you decide to hire me based on that.
I do relate to your last point though, the amount of unrelated riddles or whatever get asked to ‘see how I think’ or something is ridiculous. Even when I get the answers right, the interviewer themselves don’t seem sure. I don’t get it.

CV library gets me some calls from recruiters, be prepared for spam/WhatsApp scams though
- Comment on there is Indeed a problem 1 year ago:
There’s so many other issues too, such as the fact that old job posts don’t really get removed, employers/recruiters also spam multiple websites with their job posts and forget to check them, and some of the job descriptions don’t even match what you go and sign up for.
No salaries mentioned on lots of posts, multi stage interviews that somehow demand your free time during work hours, so good luck interviewing for other roles while you have a job. Take home assignments that take multiple hours sometimes, sacrificing a whole evening.
Recruiters that will ask for all your information again, despite having found your phone number from your CV, and once you go through that, tell you they have nothing for you and that they’ll be in touch.
Questions that mean nothing in an interview, including acronyms I haven’t used or even heard of outside of interviewing for other jobs, because my job doesn’t need or use them, we just do the work.

- Comment on Slavery was abolished, so the rich are now trying to make economic oppression the equivalent of slavery. 1 year ago:
Nah, most will just say get a better job, you’re not working hard enough etc. Lots of people I speak to tend to frame it as a worker problem rather than a problem with the system. It’s also why lots of people seem to be anti strikes…

That’s exactly what it is, then I’ve had people laugh at me when I compare it to slavery.
