A reminder that sell-buy dates or best-used-by dates are not the same as expiration dates.

I love that a food bank is providing this info as they are experts in stretching food budgets and knowledgable in shelf-stable food items

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

It's very endearing to me how many people are willing to keep an eye on a video feed so they can push a button and let a fish in the Netherlands get to the other side of a dam.

I just KNOW they went crazy seeing this in 1996

Orgvue surveyed 1,000 executives. 39% of them had fired employees for AI — but of those 39%, over half  (55%) regretted it. The AI boosters are crippling their own businesses. [Orgvue] Credit company Klarna tried to go full AI, including customer service by chatbot. The CEO had said he wanted Klarna to be OpenAI’s “favourite guinea pig.” This went so badly they’re now on a hiring spree to restaff with humans. [Bloomberg, archive]

Yeah yeah, we told you so. It's one of those No Shit Sherlock things everybody saw coming.

EXCEPT it's nice to see the numbers, the proof. So here you go.

The AI bubble has definitely popped, even if people aren't acting like it yet. Expect AI companies to spin this sort of thing right into the ground, for as long as they can.

Reporting Highlights

New ProPublica Analysis: While the rate of dangerous infections spiked across Texas after it banned abortion in 2021, women in Houston fared far worse than those in Dallas.

Hospital Policies Diverge: Major Dallas hospitals empower doctors to provide abortions to patients with high-risk miscarriages. Most in Houston do not.

Mounting Evidence of Harm: Many Houston hospital leaders have not heeded their doctors’ calls to change their policies even after research indicated sepsis rates had tripled.

These highlights were written by the reporters and editors who worked on this story.

Demons and monsters that torture people because they feed on human suffering are so dumb. People are suffering everywhere my guy go literally any place and take a deep whiff.

Hey kid you want a job?

Great get online and go to a job board. Indeed, Linkedin whatever. Now you're gonna search for a role that's in your city, fits your qualifications, and doesn't seem like a bad time.

See that easy apply button? Don't hit it they just throw those in the trash. Now you're gonna want to go to the company's website and check their careers page.

Oh? That job doesn't exist anymore. Cool go back to the job board and find another one.

Great you found another job, you're on the company's career page and the job exists!! So you're going to need to make an account on the career page website. They're using Workday, the same site as the last job you applied for? Who cares? You need to make another account for THIS job's workday page.

Now you're going to upload your resume. That'll autopopulate about 15 boxes with everything on your resume, except formatted wrong and with tons of errors. So just go through and painstakingly check the dates on all of that and rewrite everything you already laid out in an aesthetically pleasing format on your resume.

Ok time for the cover letter, explain why this specific job and company are deeply important to you. You love their mission statement and wouldn't even laugh if their ceo was gunned down in the street. You'll really want to reiterate the things you just spent the last 20 minutes filling out on the resume section

(Remember to include language from the job description, people who work in HR are lower than dogs and they need patterns or they get confused.) Write about a page, but hey don't sound too desperate or robotic this is where they judge your character!

Maybe add your portfolio site at the end here, who knows if that helps no one has ever clicked mine haha.

Anywayyy time to hit apply! Congrats! You'll see that confirmation email come in and you should be getting the rejection letter in about 2 weeks. Unfortunately your resume didn't have the right buzzwords and the AI auto rejected you :(

Time to start again and try not to kill yourself!

Metrosexual was more like a non-gay twink/androgynous looking/behaving male. They were usually thin/lean in appearance, had more "woman" type of muscles (not the big bodybuilder type). Maybe they wore pink and got excited over "feminine" stuff like a plant stand or behaved in a "feminine" way (happened to my cousin who fit this description--thin, wore pink, jewelry, actually got excited over a multi-level plant stand at Christmas in the Xmas exchange--but was straight and only dated women. Even other members of his immediate family thought he was in denial about being gay and kept pressuring him about it from what I was told--lots of family gossip about him).

hi yes hello what the fuck is metrosexual lmfao

It's hard to explain to zoomers just how insanely homophobic the early 2000s were. If you were male, and like, washed your hair regularly, people would call you a faggot.

So, dudes who washed their hair and wore button ups developed the term "metrosexual" which meant "I care about my appearance but I am attracted to women and don't have sex with men."
