Ugh. AI-written outreach InMail messages are so disingenuine.

The Ministry of Silly Walks revoked my permit :(

yeah but what if you 'shoot for the moon' and actually hit it?

There was a time when Gmail basically was a second brain for me and now I can't even find a simple email without seven strict conditions in an advanced search.

If you're a writer or researcher who thinks AI is better than you at your job, I believe you. I just don't think you should pretend like your skill issue affects me

Astronomers Wake Up to 800,000 Notifications From Observatory Watching the Night Skies The first batch of alerts from the Vera Rubin Observatory drew attention to new asteroids, supernovae, and active galactic nuclei.

Lol, this headline makes it sound like a bunch of people had their phones spammed like a tweet going viral instead of it being pipeline(s) they subscribed to.

I feel another dance with destiny, but this time I don't know the steps.

There needs to be a word for the feeling of unease when you have an important message drafted, but need a line break and can't remember whether this app uses shift or control as the break or the 'send immediately' command.

I don't need cybersecurity training, I AM the cybersecurity training!

I forgot just how much I kinda loathe doing literature review lmao

Luckily, I think I'm starting to put the pieces together and figure out how other people made it in, and how that might apply to me.

Finding it tough to learn how to break in to a semi-niche employment role. I had an old friend who I was trying to contact but I can't seem to reach anyone's inbox to understand what approach to take.

The administration taketh and the administration taketh away.

Is there ever a time when an email signoff saying "Best of luck," isn't ominously final?

Or better yet: use the Ladder of Damocles to make everything OSHA-compliant

Has nobody told Damocles to simply scoot his chair a little bit?

lol. just finished the third-worst interview of my life. holy crap nobody knows how to interview these days, it's crazy.

At some point in the distant past, I forgot the word "Ausfall" (failure) and my brain somehow replaced it with "Durchfall" (diarrhea).

Nobody at work or in public ever corrected me. I found out today from reading a book.

Yeah it's crazy. I got blacklisted from a cool company because the interviewer was embarrassed he was looking at the resume for the wrong person in my interview and I guess that was easier for him

But that's okay. Totally not self-detonating over it or anything.

Another rainy, gloomy day

Trying to do the right thing might have in fact been the worst thing and I would have been oblivious about it

So I have been informed that I misplayed my hand 2337 days ago.

27 days of relative calm and now the storms return again :(

It bothers me SO much that everyone has collectively decided that date pickers shouldn't be able to select years anymore. Yeah, I really don't want to click 12 * year_count times :\

Is there anyone out there who could help a CS / math nerd finally not be shit at proofs? I'm fairly decent with the intuition but I always do the physics major thing of handwaving my way into to trouble.

I wish people could just be honest with each other

It's frustrating that there are rigorously studied proof-of-concept systems that would allow governments and corporations to confirm proof of identity and age securely and anonymously but everyone involved prefers it the bad way.

Everyone was telling me there weren't wolves over here for the last couple of years and then panic-sends news articles about one being seen in the vicinity recently
