Making your dreams come true is about choices. You can choose to wait for someone to "put you on", or you can put yourself on by putting the work in.

On a serious note, thank you God.

Imagine going through this rigorous process like 50 times .

The last sentence is what I’d probably do too :“Next time I'm just going to wrap my resume around a brick and throw it through their office window."

[IT Unprofessional @it_unprofession]

I spent 4 hours yesterday updating my resume to apply for a mid-level PM role.

The listing said they wanted someone with 10 years of experience in a software that was invented 4 years ago.

I clicked apply and was immediately redirected to a third-party portal that asked me to upload my resume, which I did.

Then it asked me to manually type in every single detail of the resume I had just uploaded.

Why did I upload it if I have to type it again?

Is the uploaded PDF just a ceremonial offering to the HR gods?

I spent 40 minutes breaking down my career history into tiny mandatory text boxes.

The portal required me to list a start and end date for every job, but the calendar widget wouldn't let me type the year.

I had to click the back arrow month by month to get to 2002.

My wrist started cramping somewhere around 2018.

Then it asked for my high school GPA.

I'm 44 years old.

I don't even remember the name of my high school mascot, let alone my proficiency in AP European History.

After the history lesson, came the behavioral assessment.

It presented me with 75 statements and asked me to rate them from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree."

One statement was "I prefer to work alone but also thrive in team environments."

That is a paradox.

I'm being asked to evaluate a philosophical contradiction by a recruiting algorithm.

I just clicked "neutral" for everything out of spite.

The final step was a mandatory video cover letter.

I had to record a one-minute pitch explaining why my core values align with a B2B SaaS company that sells inventory management software.

My core value is being able to afford groceries and paying my internet bill on time.

I put on a dress shirt over my sweatpants, stared into my webcam, and lied for 60 seconds.

I said I've always been profoundly passionate about supply chain optimization.

Nobody is passionate about supply chain optimization.

I clicked submit and immediately received an automated rejection email.

The timestamp said it was sent zero seconds after I applied.

I was evaluated and deemed unworthy by a line of code at the speed of light.

Next time I'm just going to wrap my resume around a brick and throw it through their office window.

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

As Google pushes AI deeper into Search, more users are seeking simpler, more traditional alternatives.

DuckDuckGo reported that visits to its AI-free search page jumped 22.7% on average last week, peaking at 27.7%.
The company also saw an 18% increase in US mobile app installs.

This suggests not everyone wants AI-generated answers and many users still prefer clean results and more control over browsing.

Though Google still dominates with roughly 85% US market share compared to DuckDuckGo’s 2%

I used brain 🧠 GPT.

Life was better when there was a ‘computer room.’ Where you had to physically enter the room to get on the internet and then log off and leave that room and the internet stayed behind. The minute we were able to take it with us in our pockets that’s when society collapsed fully

Major cheat code for life: Be fully where your feet are. When you're at work, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Most people are physically present and mentally everywhere else.
