I Think It’s Really Funny When You Hear Like Three Things And A Headcanon About Some Piece Of Media

My hopes for Terraria's final-final-final update:

Fix the bug where unplugging a monitor crashes the game

Option to rebind dash to a dedicated key

from now on we’re calling all the stem folk ‘students of the unhallowed arts’, just like mary shelley wanted us to do

I’m not bitter

Happy 10th Birthday Portal 2 🎉🎂

No. You know what, no. Fuck you. *un-hypers your fixation*

somehow i’m a walking disaster who still has a god complex

Saw someone draw Benrey’s shirt collar in a way that it looked like a bow tie.

Little progress video of the latest chapter cover! I tried out a lot of things I don't usually do with this one, so I'm really happy with how it ultimately turned out.

Sticking some comments/observations about terrible job listings I’ve seen as of late below the cut.

I’ve been job-searching as of late and some of the job profiles I’ve seen are just. So pathetic, especially in terms of low-balling candidates.

I saw one that I thought was particularly bold with “this internship is unpaid, but we value our mentors’ time at $6,000/month” yeah well unless your internship program’s mentoring is paying 18k to my rent and groceries, I don’t care. I certainly wouldn’t pay that much for the pleasure of learning from you lot.

Saw one particularly bold opening for a web developer (? I think it was that) that was straight up “you won’t receive any compensation for your work until the finished product begins pulling income” Hello???? People join start-ups for the stock options, pay, and environment -- here, all you are is a guy with an idea who’s getting a programmer to make it for you for free, and maybe you’ll pay them if it becomes successful down the line.

One rather shifty job listing had something along the lines of “we’re a team of three with our own discord server; join our experienced developers in developing our start-up of a unique shopping site.” They’re three random guys in a Discord server brainstorming the 10,000th shopping site, they’re not even a real startup.

And all the unpaid internships!! Occasionally I’ll see one company spam-post a dozen+ unpaid internships all at once, all being full-time and having a huge list of qualifications and responsibilities. Pro tip: if a company is unpaid, uncompensated interns all the way down and they’re all working on huge projects that the company will be making a profit off of, it’s illegal.

Special shoutout to the companies that make you take a coding assessment before they’ll even consider your resume. I’m not great with leetcode and I recognize that it’s very common in the application/interview process for this field, but I refuse to spend a few hours on an online assessment or take-home assignment that was sent out to all 2 thousand of us applying for this role, only to be filtered out afterwards not because of the results of the assessment that wasn’t even looked at by a person, but because my resume wasn’t in the top 50 or whatever (also not looked at by a person).

Also just the general annoyingness that job sites get up to. The “recruiter” agencies that spam regular job listings with their “sign up and we’ll match you with a job” stuff. And the job sites that make you create a login just to apply, and then spam you with random emails about other jobs, etc. etc.

Also the random...spam jobs, I guess is what they are? Ones that are clearly duplicates of other listings, and don’t even have the company name changed. I assume they’re just to fish for personal information and add you to calling lists or something.

I dunno. This post is written more aggressive than I feel, I’m more just vaguely dissatisfied in a I’m-not-mad-just-disappointed way. Job applications hard haha
