The only thing more annoying than being rejected from a job application is when one works by making you go through an AI assistant. And then ignores you. I got ghosted by a fucking robot.

What I want to know is how some companies seemingly have NO entry level positions but have 24 senior positions open.

Like okay, apparently there are no managers, senior associates, or directors for this one company I was looking at. Seemingly the slew of people below these management positions are doing just fine without supervisors, so why have this push?

I hate the job market.

A reminder to the "the American government wouldn't..." crowd. They have. They have made their own internment camps before. They have rounded up innocent citizens and immigrants before. The victims of which are still alive to this day and trying to share their stories with the world, they have been trying to warn us for a long time. George Takei (as seen above) is a famous example of this. He has written about his experiences time and time again, even publishing a book talking about his time in these camps. He may be famous now, but at the time he was just another kid forced from his home. To this day he still firmly dedicates himself to trying to educate and inform people, trying to spread awareness with his platform. The American Government can and will do terrible things. Do not let anyone convince you otherwise.

I just don't care about game performance in computer reviews. I get why they include them because games are usually very compute intensive but I just couldn't give a shit about how cyberpunk performs on a $300 mini PC. I don't want to hear how Doom runs on some generic consumer tower from 1993. I don't want to see "if it runs doom" at all. Everything runs doom. There is a version of doom for everything. Yes, it does. It will. It's only interesting in the 0.0001% of cases where it can't.

Idk, there are so many computers that are interesting to talk about, but when half the review is "can it run GAMES???" I die inside a little bit.

Drunk rambling about Dexamyl

I probably should put something on my blog about how this blog doesn't solely serve as a harm reduction page like I intended to in 2018. Really I should just save my shitposting for a side account so I don't look like an amazingly stupid hypocrite lol. I mostly just use this to talk about stuff that isn't appropriate for my IRL socials (AS TUMBLR WAS INTENDED BABY 🥳🪅🎊🎉🎈💃)

So I have accepted that drinking is always a stupid choice for myself because I take 50mg of dexedrine daily, but sometimes stupidity takes the reigns, and tonight I got drunk drunk. And goddamn I have too much energy.

Anyway, my dad used to take Dexamyl back in the day. He was born in the 40s and lived through both the "drugs solve everything" and "drugs ruin everything" eras of prescriptions. He absolutely loved Dexamyl. Though his favorite vintage pharama high was from Pemoline, which he was prescribed after his on father passed. Shame that researchers found that it'll mince your liver if you're not careful with it. Woulda been useful when he passed.

It's a combo of dextroamphetamine (the Dex) and amobarbital (the amyl from its previous name as amylbarbitone). It was essentially a "mommy's helper" medication. The dex was a stimulant, but the amyl was a powerful sedative to take the edge off. Mommy's sad and anxious? Get her to take a powerhouse of the two most euphoric abuseable and addictive drugs the boys in the lab have cooked up! She'll be vacuuming while humming showtunes in no time! I bet that shit absolutely ripped though.

The combo of Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) and booze is pretty great. Like too good. This is how I imagine neurotypical people feel when they pop an addy or some normie shit like that. Thank god I mostly just want to get shit done when I'm "sober" on dexy. I have sent too many embarrassing drunk texts tonight.

Anyway, if I had a time machine, I'd go back in time and find some pill mill doctor to write me a fat script of this and then promptly fuck off back to the hellscape of 2025. I think I was going to make a point about something here, but I can't remember what it was.

That time a gym hottie tricked me into going to biblical trivia

About two years ago in my final semester of undergrad I took a weightlifting class to hit the minimum amount of hours to be considered full time so I could keep my fellowship. While I took this class, I met this absolutely gorgeous guy. He and I got along really well, and I had a big crush on him. A few times I had asked him to hang out, but our schedules usually didn't align. One day though, he invited me to go to a trivia event with him, and I readily agreed. I wasn't sure if he was gay, but I figured this was a decent sign.

At the event, I learned that it was being run by the church group he belonged to. I made polite conversation with the folks there, despite instantly wanting to leave. We talked about what we were reading, and I learned a lot about faith books I would never even pick up once. The exact version this bible was escapes me now, but one fellow bragged about reading it cover to cover. That was actually a bit impressive. Even the most hardcore bible thumpers I knew growing up never delved that deep into the text.

I always show up incredibly early to events, so I was stuck in this faith literature discussion for a solid 20 minutes before my guy actually showed up. Once the event started, of course, it started with a prayer. I just closed my eyes and waited it out. I hate to say it, but it was unfair how attractive the guy leading the prayer was. I guess the Lord really does like giving people temptation to test them.

Then this hit me like a punch in the gut. The fellow leading the event said he was excited to see so many new faces at this event, and this was a good turnout for their recruitment effort. I'm from the south, and I'm usually not too surprised if a queer person is religious in some capacity since it is such a big part of many peoples' lives. But that cemented that this wasn't some date invitation. This gym hottie just wanted me to go to church.

And what were the topics at this biblical trivia?

Well it was real scandalous. Geography, history, Disney, bible verses, The Office, and the tiebreaker round was about biblical history, specifically biblical chronology. Here I realized that The Office really is as edgy as the Good Clean crowd could get.

My team was at a pretty considerable advantage because I did academic team all 4 years in high school, so I know a lot of unrelated and mostly useless facts. We had a pretty high point advantage till we got to the bible verse section, in which I was completely useless. In the section on The Office, I got our points back up till we tied with another team, leading to a tiebreaker round. I knew we would lose at this point, so I played a bit dirty.

Once we got a single point advantage, thanks to a complete guess from a teammate, I decided to bust out a fakeout technique we used to use in academic team. Essentially, you make it obvious you're about to answer, except you don't. You make sure the other team sees you do this, and this will usually pressure them to answer before you, even if they're not ready. And this worked till the final question.

The leader made the final question worth 2 points. Whoever got it right would win. So I used my fakeout once more. I didn't care if it was dishonest. If I can't get a hottie, I wanted to get a win. My fakeout worked yet again. But they answered correctly this time, listing the books of the New Testament in order. Like all of them. I didn't even know how many there were in that series. We lost.

To really rub salt in the wound, the night of this event there was a full blown winter storm going on. I walked about two miles getting there, and I was going to have to walk back. Ending the event, there was another prayer, praying for the safe return of us to our homes. People did ask how I was going home, to which I would say that I would be walking. I was a bit surprised, because I'm used to even the most vile, purely hateful, bible thumpers to be at least performatively charitable. However, not even the gym hottie that dashed my hopes offered me a ride. Granted, I didn't ask, but after like 6 people asked me how I was getting home I figured someone would offer since most of them drove to the event. But whatever. I suppose God allowed me to make the trek back safely. Perhaps he was glad I was with God fearing people again and my not slipping on ice and eating curb was his reward.

After this, I didn't really talk much with this guy after the trivia night. I'm used to crushing on straight guys, but this was the first time where someone got me to do something I truly would never do. I'm not against religion, I just have no interest in it. Faith is deeply personal to people, and my lack of it is also personal to me. I don't want that changed on terms other than my own.

That night, I would have been a winner if it weren't for God 😉
