shneancy

and self esteem when a CV scanning AI sends you an automated rejection e-mail how you're not qualified to work a job that specifically has "no qualifications or experience needed!" written in the listing

logic knows it's bullshit, but man, it still stings to read

yes that's the point

they want someone desperate enough to lie to them and to themselves that their childhood dream is to become a shelf stacker, they want someone out of options, they want someone who will stay with them for a long time without even as much as a whimper of a complaint about low pay or the working conditions

if you have ambitions, you're not who they're looking for

best believe the same company will keep a ghost job listing for a shelf stacker up at all times, just so that the current employees feel replaceable and don't dare to step out of line in fear of losing their job

okay so i kept this message unread for a few days telling myself "yeah i'll do that later" and- i probably won't 😅 using creative energy for a thing that always frustrates me is something i can procrastinate until the heat death of the universe

do they really need changing that often though

i don't go to bed covered in mud so all my sheets get is a bit of occasional sweat at night, i don't get why we should change them so often. they don't even smell!

same, i could even do both at once. for some reason my right hand can do everything but effectively give me pleasure

hmm, maybe it's the fact i'm not American and have adhd that's causing me such issues with that. even before i knew what it was i was playing the Wikipedia game in my mind as a kid, associations & connections come incredibly easy to me, and i always see various different ways to categorise those group 16 into 4s

every time i attempt those connections i fail, how do people solve them? there's so many possible ideas in those pictures (same with the word version) you could make any shit up to connect them. how do you know what the author had in mind

prolly, i guess they said they were trying for a child, not that they've been successful at it

oh i thought he was getting pegged

Aberystwyth, right?

should just run with it and start selling exclusively carrots

why would he walk around with the everything cops need to arrest and convict him though? the crime was clean, is the same person who committed a clean and well planned crime going to be walking around with the murder weapon and a manifesto placing him both at the crime scene and giving him a clear motive?

few days ago i said "someone will be arrested and tried for this, will it be the person who actually did it, or someone who has the misfortune of looking kinda like the guy". so far it seems it's someone who got unlucky because, quite frankly, the evidence seems made up

alright fuckers let's go over this again (and spread the knowledge please, it baffles me how it's apparently niche info)

your sleep is on a cycle, each cycle is ~90 minutes, you need from 4 to 6 consecutive cycles to get a good night's sleep, that's 6 to 9h (how much you need depends on your body)

now here's the kicker - if you wake up at the end or the beginning of a sleep cycle, which is when the lightest phase of sleep occurs - you'll feel nice and refreshed.

but if you wake up in the middle - during the deepest phase of your sleep cycle - you'll feel like a fucking zombie and are quite likely to promptly turn off your alarm & go back to sleep and not even register that action as a memory because most of your brain is still asleep

this is also why you can't really have a 40 min nap that leaves you refreshed, you can either have a refreshing <20min nap or a refreshing ~90min nap, anything inbetween will make you feel more tired as your mind now has to wake itself up all the way from deep sleep

so yeah, sleep in ~90min increments, my personal sweet spot is 7:30h
