  • a bunch of shit I’m not qualified for

    often these postings are made by HR people who don’t actually know shit about the position. my job ad asked for experience in a language that hasn’t actually been used in this company for fucking years, i knew that language and then straight up lied about knowing the one we actually use. i apologise if i’m stating the obvious here comrade, but some people in my life don’t do this – 100% apply to shit you’re not qualified for and lie about anything that no one can prove. fuck those corpos, good luck meow-hug inshallah


  • i was a perfectly normal hetrosexual child, then i played portal 1, got the part where glados turns on you, and had to stop playing because i didn’t understand wtf i was feeling. skip to like 5 years (and another portal game) later and i was fucking gay. PLUS i have to bear the cross of being into women twice my age. woke video games did this to me smh kitty-cri-screm flag-lesbian-pride


  • idk. a friend of mine is trying to buy a house soon and he, i, and another friend will be splitting the mortage costs 3 ways. it will be his house at the end of it and he does feel pretty bad about that, but also we’ll be paying less to him than we would otherwise renting anywhere else, so yes technically it is landlording and technically we are getting less than him, but also we’re better off living with him than we would be otherwise so no one’s getting hurt. i feel like situations like this are relatively normal and chill ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    i would say probably let the other person know tho. if only because it probably will come out eventually just for practical reasons, and you’ll look kind of dickish for hiding that. sure, you know you have good intentions, but your roommate doesn’t



  • this AI push is so fucking funny. my team has lost 3 people in the last few weeks and none of the positions are hiring replacements because the company is choosing to invest in AI instead, and middle management has finally gone from bemused enthusiasm to barely-restrained panic. watching these tech illiterate types suddenly start to sweat as they realise the reality of the situation (which we have all known for months) is great fun. our AI is useless, commands from on high have told management to change how we operate to pin all our hopes on it, and now the CEO is going to watch them drown in exchange for shareholder value
















  • Yeah, this is really not normal. I grew up on a farm and when I heard about this on the news I kind of rolled my eyes - people can be freaked out by how you interact with horses because it can look a little rough, but they’re massive fucking animals with stone/metal fists and will kill you if you actually hurt them. Almost always, a horse is fine. And then I saw the footage.

    This is really not the way to do things. What she’s doing is both excessive and incredibly unprofessional. Straight up amateur shit. In my village the tradition was that you don’t give a kid a whip until a) they’re 13 and b) they have proven that they can ride without it. You never need them if you know what you’re doing. Whips/crops are supposed to be used to surprise the animal and get their attention, not to hurt them. The type of whip she’s using in this video (a lunge whip) shouldn’t really even make contact with the horse, you use them to either make noise behind them or to shock them a little from the corner of their vision.

    The insane part is that at one point, she’s hitting the horse from the front. That is something you never fucking do (partly because you’re increasing your chance of getting fucking killed lol)

    Like, this is something that you might expect of someone who has never handled a horse before and is particularly mean. This would never be called for under literally any circumstances. To see this from someone who’s been riding their whole life and absolutely knows better? She was pissed off and actively taking her frustration out on that poor horse. I doubt she could really do much damage with a lunge whip, but she meant to hurt the horse.

    Firing squad for this freak immediately wall how-compelling-flipped

    EDIT: i’ve just watched it all the way through and she’s using two fucking hands??? also at one point i think she’s literally impacting the poor thing with the handle of the whip at some point??? she’s doing so many things that are unnessecarily and unprofessionally cruel and also could get you fucking killed. like, surprisingly enough, forcing a massive animal up agaisnt a wall is a very very bad idea. it almost kicks her and she still doesn’t back off. evil shit.
