Wasn’t expecting to laugh out loud here. Thank you for that

Based on our sun’s life cycle, it’s not likely.

Even if all emissions stopped tomorrow for good, temperatures would continue to rise, our climate would continue to destabilize, and the mass extinction event currently underway would continue.

Like your comment says, we have likely fucked the climate enough that we’ll probably be gone within a couple hundred years.

The problem is, we’ve killed off so many species and damaged our biodiversity to such an extent, that by the time biological life could evolve to a similar level of biodiversity like we once enjoyed, our sun will already be expanding enough that earth has become uninhabitable.

We did it guys!

Before I even finished reading that comment I thought, “Fuck. Ken Paxton would probably just take it as inspiration to accept money from Roku.”

Congrats to those in other states though. I am envious.

Thank you for this. This should be the top comment.

I wonder how the new Cemex framework affects this.

I applied to a small tech company back in late 2021, when everywhere was hiring like crazy. It was my first full time role, but I have my bachelor’s and had work experience.

Overall I had:

• a phone screen with the recruiter
• a video interview with the recruiter for the specific role
• a video interview with HR
• a cognitive aptitude test online
• a personality test online
• an interview with a team member from the department hiring
• a take home assessment that I completed then went over on a video call/interview with my would-be manager and the same team member

I also had my credit checked, and had to provide 3 references which were all called.

The job paid $36,000. Though it is definitely getting worse, these people have always been out of touch. My company was just ahead of the times, I guess.

When I left last year, they had just excitedly announced that they would be using video interview question submissions for all candidates going forward. The only feedback I gave in my exit interview was that I wouldn’t apply today with the required video interviews.

Yeah I used to scoff at the gluten-free label on basic ingredients that are not wheat based.

… Until I started shitting myself and getting migraines due to gluten. I’m no longer laughing, and am especially grateful for the label on anything containing oats, which can be a huge source of cross-contamination.

I was thinking it’s like the LinkedIn version of yahoo answers
