I have a lovely LaTex resume. It's gaaarrrbage now. Nothing can parse it correctly.
Why bother pretending people want well formatted resumes anymore? They want a plain text block that you can copy and paste into a required field so they can parse it for keywords. 💁
"Tess, you're only two years old. There's much you don't know about love." Someone was paid to write that. WHHHHYYYYYYY?
The description of the next ST Voyager has the words "spirit people", "sky people" and "Chakotay's ancestors." Hoooo boy.
So, in the new Overwatch short. In one of the cryo pods there is a Swedish scientist named Arrenhius, after Svante Arrenhius who was the first person to investigate the effect that doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide would have on global climate.
The fact that they thought to include that is cool. He is one of few scientists I remember reading about in school.
...the fuck is this? 😶

Junkrat's new animation short = holy flippin' adorable.
@rotatingskull @dedbees also very skeptical of GWC as a whole. I stopped attending my local one when it started becoming a way of pipelining women into expensive bootcamps that no one seemed to get anything out of.
@rotatingskull just tired of these vague constant "differences" in my work versus men's. I have the same flipping ability, my work and focus is no different. After Damore's trash, this is unhelpful IMO.
My bias is also very heavily against the concept that apps are going to create a systematic change, as opposed to actual direct action....

It has nothing to do with capacity for empathy. I think it has more to do with the fact that Western upper middle class women have typically been expected to devote their efforts and freetime to charity work. It's just a continuation of a cultural expectation of women.
Girls Who Code is pretty much garbage TBH. "I don't want to make sweeping generalizations. One of the things I think I have found that is uniquely female is our empathy." Please stop tying my so-called "feminine traits" to my ability to code.
TFW you think everyone in the park is just high af playing with their hands, but then realize it's a NASA thing to see the eclipse.
The alt-right know that to take down the Seattle Lenin statue they could just... BUY it, right? It's literally for sale. I thought they were into that kind of solution.
@andschwa Yeah, it's weird to see how that's touched so many of these jobs. They want a qualified applicant AND unlimited use of your car and driving skills for free.
Kind of amazing how many jobs just basically want to rent your car for way under maintenance and gas and get you to make service drives for free. See: Every advertised "IT" job nowadays.
@tomgg The people who are in racist mobs are authoritarians and their minds won't be changed by argument, only by the appearance of consensus. Vigorously opposing them disrupts that appearance.
Then there are our racist friends and family members. We have a connection with them, so just talking to them can work. This text can help: https://www.splcenter.org/20150126/speak-responding-everyday-bigotry
In both cases, it's not reason that wins, but showing they're outnumbered, even (and especially) within their own milieu.
My hot take of the day: Courtney Love was actually good in Hole.
Icahn and Bannon gone. The president is now being advised by John Kelly, a t-shirt Bannon left behind with googly eyes glued on, and half a Pringle.
RANDOM REQUEST: If you have a ductless heat pump on your balcony in like an apartment or something, plz contact me! Trying to convince my building to install them versus PTACs. Have lots of questions.
