#into recruiter bullshit

[shr0mwzrd]

Jobs that pay real money

Remote jobs that are actually remote

Remote jobs that actually pay money

Work from home jobs that don't hate me

Remote jobs for people who want to exchange their labour for money

WFH jobs actually hiring now

yall are about to piss me off by not having any PASSING basic knowledge of the way the u.s. military manipulates its recruits into joining by typing up one of your uninformed, unresearched, unempathetic, individualistic, unbelievably annoying posts about how 100% of the people in the military ended up there because they just Love America So Damn Much! they're extremely mature and informed at time of recruitment, they can totally leave anytime they want, they totally had tons of other avenues in life they could've taken, there was no rush at all to get income as fast as possible, and everyone in the military also totally is part of the combat divisions and personally enjoys being IN the military very much, big believers of violence. everyone in the military is shooting guns all day, that's how that works. they LOVE BLOODSHED. also I love the "amewicans haha" twang to this type of shit because you're actually TOTALLY stealing our Thing, which is turning systemic issues into Individual Issues. Instead of talking about the powers that be, it's so Personal Choice up in here. It's, "well you shouldn't have done it then. I totally wouldn't because I know better." you don't wanna talk about the military industrial complex as a whole, and you don't want to talk about recruiters, you just want to pin the blame on Specific Individual People one-by-one, as if they're responsible for the system that they're being ground up in. someone was in the military? bad person, no matter what. it's easier to believe that, I guess, than to acknowledge that Normal People (with high school educations) are manipulated and incentivized into joining a system that is Bad. at like age 18. but yeah no that 18 year old should have just been smarter lol haha anyway here are some screenshots for no particular reason

side note this reply of someone going "umm just get loans and go into a high paying field it's easy XD" as a direct response to someone trying to explain how most americans joining the military are being funneled in that direction out of a need for money.

and another person who Decided that americans join the military just CLENCHING their teeth thinking of other people, and not thinking completely selfishly about their own selves and their own income/housing/healthcare.

haven't gotten into much writing for the what pride had wrought part of the longfic but some of the highlights i've been thinking about:

unreal levels of eric and cullen beef

arya feeling Weird the more she sees kieran around skyhold bc she. really hasn't considered mages having+raising their own kids

eric revealing to cullen that arya was supposed to be a templar to get a rise out of him

eric trying to strongarm cullen off the top of a balcony during a fight (which. arguably could have. killed him.)

cullen ACTUALLY almost dying in the arbor wilds and arya can't do shit b/c she has never been capable of healing or revival magic (yes i know that knight enchanters get that skill and i don't care i don't want healing to be in her skillset)

arya getting a lil out of control fighting samson (not gonna pretend like my inspiration for this isn't coming from atla and katara learning bloodbending and the southern raiders episode. hee hee.)

brain let me do it without being upset last night so i would like to propose the au where at least some of cp9 are on the ship that sanji’s on and forcibly adopt him as a younger sibling and sanji’s like “i went from one group of baby assassins to a second group of baby assassins”. obv zeff still turns up and all that fun jazz happens, with bonus cp9 working food service and also smacking zeff every time he decides that kicking a kid in the head is a valid teaching tool

So I'm drafting a list of lefty YouTube recommendations and being frustrated b/c we had the beginnings of a leftist network on YouTube. LeftTube existed. And it was torn apart by LeftTube.

Like we are way fucking behind here. Not just that, but it seems we're further behind than we were just four years ago, let alone eight. All because we eat our own.

Sometimes I wonder what reactions some of the Bleach captains/lieutenants would have to the things said about them online and I just cackle so hard. I think Shunsui would be very flattered at least.

Shunsui would be a tumblerina in the realest way possible. He would be sending out posts like 'Nanao-chan said no naps before noon anymore ):' and responding to thirsts about him without shame. Complete with little emoticons before hitting you with the 'Feels nice to hear!' and 'How inspiring!'

If anyone would be very cool about the concept of online thirsting it is Shunsui Kyoraku 100%.

I think there would be plenty who would just pretend it doesn't exist Byakuya, for SURE, is pretending to have never gazed upon a screen in his life if the subject arises. Although considering how steady his daily routine is, the odds are if he's seen anything it's been via another shinigami shoving their soul phone in his face to show him what's what. Probably Rukia.

Hisagi, Renji, Rukia, Matsumoto, and those of that generation are fucking jazzed about it mostly. They're having drinks and tittering about who can find the best compliment or the most down bad thirst. They, with their combined brain powers, have probably found a way to make a group chat by now, even. With the power of the manual. And team work.

As long as we gloss over the paranoid death god association being paranoid about a bunch of people online knowing about them, I think most of them would be mildly flattered or have fun with it if they found out but wouldn't pay it a ton of mind.

got a job interview next wednesday for a completely new job wish me luck 🙏

[philipkindreddickhead]

This fucking principal told me she'd call me on Monday and never did. I reached out to ask if I could call her tomorrow and she got all snippy with me about how busy she is, -like, ok, me too- and I can call her on Monday.

I will never understand why people offer to help, give me their phone number, and then get mad if I use it???

[dimiclaudeblaigan]

okay so like two things about this particular line.

one: i like the irony in claude telling someone to trust more.

two: HOWEVER, dimitri has literally absolutely no reason whatsoever in the name of yeehaw fuckity to not trust claude. i hate the way the game tries to absolutely force the things gw/sb claude does into ag when it doesn't even exist at all in ag. he never made a single hint of planning to just betray/harm the kingdom and this is literally at their first war meeting. not just that, but claude chose to go to faerghus himself and didn't ask them to go to leicester (which he specifically states being the one to choose to go to faerghus), so there wasn't anything indicating he might be up to something at all.

then we've got this stupid nugget:

each side lacks trust and is expecting foul play? the church expects foul play from the kingdom? from the alliance which has done nothing to them in this route, and that's bad enough... but the fucking kingdom too?

the kingdom and alliance watching for foul play even though they're allies and never had a history of being aggressive toward each other?

i know i've talked about it before but... i just hate how they tried to force this "claude is always scheming something terrible" plotline, even where it doesn't belong. then they also added in the dumb bit here about even the church not trusting the other armies, even though they've... literally been helping them, gratefully, this whole war. they also didn't have to fight but chose to out of gratitude for being sheltered.

suddenly after the timeskip they just... don't trust each other?

like i totally get just being in it to reclaim gm and go home and not really in it for someone else or anyone else, but the distrust is just an asspull to make the church seem BaD as usual.

claude just walked in and wasn't trusted. they also keep hammering it in right through the whole second half of the route with lots of kingdom allies (including playable ones) not trusting him. even if they relatively trust the alliance and the soldiers helping them that were integrated into their army, they specifically do not trust claude at all and are apprehensive about him.

dimitri agrees here if they can't be trusted, but he doesn't mention just personally distrusting them a whole lot. he agrees that they should be cautious if what the others say is true, but he also just shrugs it off as "they'll be enough to deal with the alliance if so". he seems unsure at first and kinda goes back and forth, but by the end he's the only character who faithfully believes that claude isn't just fucking around and leading them on (which literally, right to the very very very end, every single character except him is still very vocally doubting claude).

but like... why? there's... just... nothing to distrust him because of in this route. man literally exists and the game wants us to believe he's untrustworthy.

yeehaw wtf??? why would anything happen between the kingdom and alliance after the war? why would anything need to happen? even if you try to argue that claude is gonna try to uwu depose of the top church officials, if the church is watching the kingdom like hawks like dimitri is apparently aware of, why would the kingdom get involved? why would they care? clearly the church doesn't trust them all that much after all, or at least anymore since the timeskip for some unknown reason, and the kingdom has now, after this war, paid back any debt it owed the church.

so like, why would they suddenly rush to the church's aid and help them if the church doesn't trust them? if they were friendly/allied it would make sense if they still wanted to help, but if the church is expecting foul play from the kingdom, why would the kingdom even care what happens to the church? they could turn a blind eye and pretend they don't have the resources to aid them anymore and that their own territory is still busy recovering.

even if you argue what they discussed at the very beginning of the war, the church either A: didn't ask for aid in this second conflict, or B: even if they did, the above stands. i don't think there would be any riots or anything like that in those cases if the kingdom didn't help the church. it's one thing to help, but it's another to just fight at the back and call of another territory, which dimitri clearly expresses he won't do in gw because he puts the safety of his people first. no matter what his feelings are on the matter, he knows he's a king and that he has a responsibility to his people first and foremost, as would be expected of a king (to protect his own people first and foremost).

while i could see claude wanting to talk after the war and get things straight, and while i could see dimitri there as a mediator, there's just... literally no reason for bad blood after all this. even if they don't trust each other, there's just no reason - and that's aside from the fact that it's total bs that they all just don't trust each other.

lorenz just asks if shez has confidence in them. doesn't mention claude. shez though just... randomly is like oh yeah btw just not claude. totally unprompted.

lorenz distrusting claude has been part of his character since houses so his part of it is reasonable. normally i'd say it's really pushing things with claude not being trustworthy for someone to say they feel bad for shez/the kingdom army for the implication of having to deal with claude even as an ally, but the only reason i give this a pass is because it's an understandable and reasonable character who says it.

still though, it's like the game throws it in at every single possible opportunity for no reason at all. they don't give us any indication that claude is this big bad evil guy. he doesn't trust the church. like... that's it. he made that clear even in ag (even without the zaharas chapter), and that's just... it. the rest of this makes it seem like claude is going to just up and invade the kingdom after this war and try to unify fodlan (i.e. just go what edelgard's been doing this whole time).

it's just like... here, nobody trusts claude at all in this game just for simply existing. you don't even have to bring him up, because someone else will do it for you and shit talk him to remind you he's the biggest piece of shit the game can offer! meanwhile, we've got marianne who is concerned about edelgard (implication is her well being no less!) because the empire's army ain't doing so hot. poor indading aggressor! sure hope she's doing okay! fuck our leader though, he's the biggest steaming pile of bullshit garbage to ever exist (marianne didn't say that, but that's what the narrative is going for: poor edelgard, it's so sad that the invader is having it rough right now. anyway fuck claude he's literally as evil as tws).

i love ag but i'd say this is one of if not the worst hiccup in the writing. when it comes to faerghus itself and its characters, it's mostly fine and even great, but when it starts going into other territories/characters it ends up taking a nosedive in quality.
