I got called a pedophile this morning by a customs agent at the Atlanta airport who later admitted he knows how to access CSAM on X.
I’m skipping right to step 2 now, I have had it.

@ossoff.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov this happened in your state. Today.
Are we truly helpless? If so, don’t respond.

He also asked a lot of questions about my work (children’s non-profit that receives federal funds) and implied several times that we abuse the children we work with.
It’s 9 hours later and I’m absolutely vibrating with anger. We are so helpless against these fascists and they know it.

Her asthma meds, because Pressley was a democrat. Then he said he wasn’t political - he does his own research only on X. Then he definitely 100% looked me in the eye and implied that he can access CSAM on there and nobody can do anything about it. I am serious.

In El Salvador. His response? “Don’t believe everything you read.” Even though he was caught on tape. I told him I lived in the same city as Rumesa Ozturk and the threat was very real to me. He didn’t know who she was but said Ayanna Pressley was definitely lying about Rumesa being in LA and denied

He searched my bags, wallet, asked a lot of questions that shouldn’t be legal, then admitted he knew I was clear but held me longer bc he didn’t feel I was respectful enough towards him.
He asked why I was nervous and I told him his boss just said he wanted to build 5 prisons for US Citizens

My favorite LXG movie anecdote was that Connery turned down two movies bc he didn’t understand the script (LOTR and Matrix, I think). He didn’t understand the LXG script either but vowed to take it after seeing what he missed out on

I’ve always liked this because it implies he’s working on commission

Oh my parent memory is that if I left cigs out in my car’s center console, my mother would take them out, snap them in half and put them back in the pack. The most infuriating punishment I’ve ever received.

Never smoked since, but my downstairs neighbor during COVID smoked parliaments and I almost cracked during lockdowns.

And the topper, in my mind, was smoking parliament lights. My older siblings assumed I was doing coke but I just wanted something that made me feel gay but was still deniable.
I stayed with parliament lights until I quit cold turkey in my late 20s after getting winded walking up a hill.

Early 00s in the suburbs, unless you acted like Jack from Will and Grace, you could get away with it; you HAD to. I pierced my ear with two helix piercings…but no lobe. I wore, like, bright red suede Simples and had different colored laces that I coordinated for holidays

I was friends with pretty girls who smoked so getting them was never an issue - I smoked about 2 packs a week starting that summer and never actually bought cigs until my 18th birthday.
11th grade, I weirdly had a fixation on expressing that I was gay without actually saying it or acting like it -

I hate specifically dating myself online but my first regular cigs were summer between 9th and 10th grade and were flavored camels that came in a tin like altoids, but square. There was citrus, something called Izmir Stinger but I mostly went with chocolate mint.

Assuming this was a scheduled interview and he still had to take it on FaceTime in a hiking trail parking lot bc if his roommates heard him say this they’d beat his ass

I can’t believe you’re posting as if you wouldn’t be fully on-board and working for this administration except for the fact that people don’t like you as a person

The application itself is them showing interest! Step into the candidates’ shoes and recognize what job hunting is like nowadays - the fact that they’ve gotten this far means SOMETHING, don’t take it for granted - this is how you lose quality candidates.

The reply is awful but the question is more insulting. This isn’t a non-profit, applicants should not need to write fan fiction in order to secure an interview.
If your recruiter or 1st interview panel cannot suss out the answer to this question in conversation, reevaluate your hiring team.

You still need to have a LinkedIn account with a pic and updated resume (and recommendations, volunteer work etc), but you do not need to engage with the social media aspect of it at all.

Recruiter here (the good kind) w obligatory reminder that you should NEVER apply to any job through LinkedIn/Indeed/big name job board. Consider them search engines only.
If you see a job you like, do some research, go to the company’s website and then apply through there.

Oh man, Super Mario 35 had such a hold on me 5 years ago and I didn’t know about the expiration so I was devastated to log on and just not be able to play

They played the long game and they won. It’s over.
We keep waiting for those in power on the right to “come to their senses” and it won’t happen because they’re getting exactly what they want.
Science and education were the last pockets of civil resistance and they dismantled those in <90 days.

I really don’t want to be a doomer but they’ve spent the last 30 years openly installing partisan diehards into non-partisan positions from the Supreme Court down to municipal elections boards. Then they’ve defunded public schools so that many lack the critical thinking required to notice or act.

I think he was the first comedian to get big via YouTube so I think some of it is a kneejerk reaction that’s persisted

Two major pivot points:
In the first, I could have been a career academic in Linguistics
In the second, someone who opened a bar (or brewery) just before COVID

Lol you should have actually read that article before posting.
Also, out of context, that was a shitty thing to say! You can criticize politicians you agree with if they do something wrong!

Correct, because those people don’t exist. You made them up because the alternative would be admitting you were wrong.

I voted for Harris you fucking pea-brained moron. The only difference is, after she lost, I blame the people actually responsible - the candidates, advisors and brain-damaged ppl who see politics as sports.
I didn’t turn around and blame marginalized communities for not doing enough.

I think you keep spelling “the” wrong - is that a branding thing?
