Yeah they are called experts and they used to be employed by Universities and Research groups. But Americans decided they didn’t care or want people who actually had credentials, talent, or acclaim somewhere around 2016 and have spent all their time tearing down everything that made people credible experts in their field.

In information literacy circles we called this “the death of authority”, which basically means nob one cares who wrote or said something any longer. The person providing the opinion no longer has enough weight on the thing being said to keep absolute yahoos from being considered as good as experts.

Information and media literacy tells people to look at 4 things about a source

Currency (when it was published) Authority (who wrote it) Relevancy (how does it relate to what you are doing) Purpose (why did the author want you to know this)

And all of these are being eroded away. News articles pushed at you with no date, Opinions and Editorials disguised as regular news articles, etc.

Thanks grandpa. Did you walk in with a firm handshake too? /s

Jokes aside, I understand this worked for your industry for trade work but the OP asked for job websites.

Your UPS must be different.

Can’t find it right now but here was a great comic about giving a dog the power to speak and they said “give me some of that food you are eating” and the humans said “nope, this is our food” and the dog was so betrayed. Obviously if humans just -understood- that dogs wanted human food they would give it, right?

Right?!

I threatened to run this as a booth at a gaming convention once. Set up 6-12 basic challenges and then print certificates with your “real life stats block”

I started reporting every obvious AI image as Spam- Offensive a few weeks ago. I got more of it for a day o so and then substantially less. You generally have to be really firm with the Pinterest algorithm about showing the same content repetitively. Not just ads, any content.

I don’t love Pinterest but it’s the least stress visual feed I’ve used.

Sorry, didn’t pay my Netflix cultural tax this year. Maybe I’ll sail the sees for it.

It was almost the entirety of AM radio for the past 40 years. Sports and this right-wing trash. On in the background at every work place, hardware store, and cafe until Muzac took over. Had that ranting asshole and his friends pumping into our ears wanting it or not. Many areas of the country had only that and Country Music for hours in any direction.

When I said “if you knew what you were doing” I meant you can build an AM receiver out of literal trash with a middle school understanding of electrics but no one bothered because you had one built in to every car, every tape player, boom box, alarm clock, and anything else with a speaker. You had a radio in every room of the house and 2 in the garage even if you never turned it on. There’s no way to believe that phones have less cultural push than AM radio had pre-1990.

So, nothing? You’ve done nothing.

What work have you turned down? Let’s hear your brave tales of resistance so the rest of us know what to do.

Rush Limbaugh was broadcast on the free radio, you could listen to it on $1 worth of junk parts if you knew what you were doing. The ease of access is not what made republican bigotry accessible or popular.

This is called the tensor timpani and I just learned from my hypermobilty support group that it’s super common in people with hypermobilty disorders generally to be able to move them. Look up Beighton scale and give yourself a quick check.

Finding out I was hypermobile lead to me discovering my ADHD wasn’t inattention, but highly variable blood pressure and a wonky vagal nerve condition. Changed my meds, changed my life.

Please also see people who need employees to assist with the touchscreen ordering and self-check. If you want to talk to a person, please use the line for talking to a cashier.

You can either represent yourself or claim you can’t communicate and need assistance. You don’t get to claim to represent yourself and then demand they let you have an AI representative. Just hire a lawyer to represent you, that’s what they are literally there for.

I have a close friend who met her spouse through a support group for a medical condition they both have. While each new diagnosis is a challenge, it can also be a new avenue to connect with other people. Get into support groups, advocacy and related activities and let those communities help you feel less alone. With that, you will naturally meet and mingle with others who understand your situation, and that’s how you find a romantic partnership.

I was reminded after watching Never After that the Brothers Grimm claimed to be working down old folk tales but they are also the only known version of many of the tales, so it can be assumed they made up at least a few of them.

So just like therapists, I would have to find, select and hire a matchmaker FIRST and then have them send me on potential dates?

That’s just adding more steps to a bad system.

People like dating apps for the convenience and lack of commitment and this plan would be worse on both fronts. People can’t even be honest when the get a bad haircut, trying to get them to give honest date feedback to the matchmaker would be a nightmare.

They’ve always been refillable with an adapter from the hardware store but it’s an enormous pain, so few people bother. I’ve always hoped Coleman would start an exchange program at REI or somewhere similar.

If I recall, the adapter hooked to a grill tank but to fill the green cans you had to have the larger tank above the smaller one and it’s impractical for most people.

Imagine an unfrozen '97 James Bond played by Pierce Brosnin.

Having opened a Discord Server for a company in the past, $200k is about right for something of this size. KQED has the most-tech savvy listener population of a US radio station (the local NPR for SanFran and surrounding area)

Paying people to moderate it real-time will probably be most of the cost.
