Tom, are there more than 8 women

so. i just learned that my entirely me-written resume flags as being AI-written by automated HR systems for a few writing quirks and the fact that i followed all the rules of good resume writing, which is apparently a telltale sign of AI use in this fucking hellworld. i've been desperately applying to jobs that i am massively overqualified for for months with no response, not even an interview, and now i find out that at least part of the reason is because some fucking moron decided that following the rules every career advisor has given me for a decade means i cheated and should be disqualified. the ai bubble cannot pop soon enough. what the actual fuck.

"frequent use of action-result sentences. bullet points all start with action verbs. no career gaps." girl what the fuck are you talking about. that's just resume writing advice being followed. i just did what i was told. it's a fucking resume. you're supposed to do all that stuff. what the fuck do you mean it looks ai generated and wouldn't pass basic detection systems?????????? for following the resume writing rules????????????

wishing every AI bro and ceo a very [REDACTED]

Hannah Montana is fucked up because its entire POINT as a show is that children should be protected from fame and exploitation, but it stars a REAL little girl that's being exploited. Nearly every episode carries the looming threat of Miley being outed as Hannah and losing her peaceful teenage life to the ravages of fame. Her father in the show (played by her own father in real life) wisely protected her from the trauma of fame by making her wear a disguise and live a rather quiet, interview-free life. Meanwhile the REAL Billy Ray Cyrus sold his daughter to Disney Channel when she was 11 and forced her to read dialogue about how terrible it would be to face the public eye. Like... Jesus, dude. The fictional Robby Ray is 10x the father, and it's not even close. (It's also IMMENSELY funny that her dad doesn't use his real name in the show, while she does. Almost like he wanted a bit of a disconnect between his identity and his character. Something Miley didn't get.)

Hyperrealistic simulacrum of a good father

there's a certain rhetorical sleight-of-hand i often see on this website wherein the phrase "media literate" is deployed but what's meant is more along the lines of "sharing a specific interpretation of a text." the skills that make up media literacy have to do with the ability to understand what's being said in the text and how that message is conveyed mechanically. two people can be equally media literate and will still interpret the message radically differently if, say, one is a card-carrying marxist and the other votes tory. and that's not me saying that both are equally 'correct,' because i don't think that lol. but you can't resolve that type of disagreement by 'teaching more media literacy' (often a euphemism for economically inaccessible and culturally hegemonic university education) if you're ignoring the political and social interpretive frameworks and value systems that people are importing when they put their media literacy skills to use

the corollary is that some interpretations of a text ARE reactionary, but often that's not due to 'media illiteracy' and in fact, the assumption that the university functions as some kind of enlightening force is itself ALSO reactionary and doesn't engage with the political conflicts that are actually at hand

sometimes being a fan of something means not wanting them to make any more of it

Hey I hope this goes without saying, especially now that Affirmative Action is being killed off, but stop filling out the "optional" self identifiers on job applications. Either leave it blank if you can or if you can't put decline to self identify. ESPECIALLY of they ask your sexual orientation.

“D&D had its rebirth as a game engine” is just falling hook, line and sinker for WotC’s marketing. It’s also patently untrue

Even in the game engine metaphor it’s still like trying to make Tetris, Stardew Valley, Total War: Warhammer, the Stanley Parable, Ultima Online, Bass Pro Fishing 2026, whatever you want in Bethesda’s Creation Engine as if you don’t need to put a hat on a guy to have something pretending to be a train. In the manner that any given system is a kind of interpretive analog computer, each one fills the same role as a game engine. But similar you’re not going to want to make a physics puzzle game in the engine that still has identical weird physics bugs to the ones which happened in a game engine that the creators claim to have not upgraded from but entirely stopped using. It’s still tying a glowstick to a hammer and saying it makes for a great flashlight because Home Depot says its valid to do what you want with the things you bought.

im sure someone already made a post about it but i came across a ublock origin add-on that blacklists around 950 AI websites and disables AI overview ☝️ so u can be free from seeing AI in your search

Your irregular reminder that you should have ublock origin installed for a significantly better internet experience. advertisers have tried to make it as shitty as possible; fight back! Give yourself an online experience worth enjoying!

you have to stay alive. you're going to be such a beautiful middle aged freak. young freaks will see you in the street and know that things can be okay.
