if you told vin diesel fast and the furious you were gay he'd be like "Some people like driving stick…some people like driving automatic…what matters is you cross the finish line.." and then he'd rev up a dodge challenger and drive through a building and kill 16 people

he literally did in the fourth one when he's asked if he likes cars more than women

If you asked if he was cool with trans people, he'd probably say "sometimes, aftermarket parts are the only way to get the vehicle you really want. Everyone should have the right to hot rod."

Online job applications were a widespread crypto-eugenics program that took hold during the late 20th and early 21st century. These applications were notable for heavy use of videoconference interviews, little to no emphasis on exams and assessments (with rare exceptions, usually implemented to obtain unpaid labor from applicants), and a general disregard for time, scheduling, results, or basic human dignity.

Despite widespread contemporary criticism, the online job application was only abolished after the Job Board Riots in the latter half of the century.

Behind The Post

Linkedin used to have these little micro-exams you could do to prove that you really do Know A Skill. apparently they removed them this year because hiring managers wanted the candidate to Describe In Their Own Words how they've ~used~ a given skill, thus reinforcing the "need experience to get experience" problem. all hiring managers die a thousand firey deaths.

Reading Comprehension Quiz
  1. "Hyperbole" is a literary device that involves deliberate exaggeration for the sake of emphasis or humor. How does this post employ hyperbole?
  2. Why is this post written in the style of a Wikipedia article? Why does one of the links reference a fictional event from roughly thirty years in the future?
  3. OP is an underemployed autistic person living in a capitalist economy with a frustrating and underfunded social welfare system. How might these factors have influenced her decision to call the job application and interview process "crypto-eugenicist?" What role does the prefix crypto serve in that context?

i'm so glad goncharov happened when it did, right before prolific public use of AI. that was pure honest gaslighting straight from the heart. real human whimsicality and trickery thru blood sweat and tears. we were a family. and we all gonched, together. you cant replicate that with any machine.

The Air Swipe bag @ Coperni fw24

Made of NASA's nanomaterial silica aerogel, the lightest solid on planet Earth, the Air Swipe bag is made of 99% pure nothing and 1% glass, the glass of the future. This very delicate (and non-fragile) nanomaterial has been used by NASA to capture stardust: because it can withstand extreme heat (12000 Celsius) and a pressure of 4000 times its weight.

Fun fact, the developers of this game loved this video so much that they made it an official advertisement of the game

star wars is unrealistic because in real life, grimes became a fascist too

“democratically elected politician” she’s a princess

Just been informed that “Queen” is an elected position on Naboo and I hate star wars
