“Ohhh, dadgummit!” Jack Schmitt tumbles over into the lunar dust during the Apollo 17 mission to the Moon, December 11-14, 1972.

worth noting that this is the most recent living person to have walked on the moon

you post cringe on the moon once and then no one ever goes back there

What we need to do is convince all the disney adults in america that high speed rail would be a preferable way of getting to disneyworld compared to driving or flying. We could maybe harness their fondness for the monorail or something, but this is a group of people that has time, income, and passion that we could leverage. If we could direct 5% of the enthusiasm they have for limited edition popcorn buckets into calling their representatives and demanding high-speed interstate rail, we could get it by 2030

the novelty of having pets really does never wear off i’ve had my cat for ten years and i still look at him strolling around like can you believe this. a cat. is everyone seeing this. he’s alive he has bones and all. unbelievable

People who give pets a bit of chocolate when they know it’s their pets last day are a bit of a funny concept. Imagine being old and friends with an alien who will live ten times your lifespan and they’re like “ah shit he’s dying, well since you’re dying anyway haven’t you always wanted to know what uranium tastes like?”

I feel like when I say ‘relatable’ what I really mean is ‘resonant.’ I don’t want characters who I feel are like me, I want characters who have emotions so strong I can feel them through the page.

I think this is important because a lot of us forget the power of stories to make us feel things about characters who are not like us, who have experienced things that we never will. The purpose of listening to someone else’s story should not necessarily be identification, but understanding.

Did you know that companies post “Ghost Jobs” for people to apply to?

They do this so they can look like they are growing and thriving to both investors, current employees, and the industry at large.

The “Ghost Job” postings aren’t real and a good chunk of most job postings these days are not actually real listings at all.

Fun right?

This shit literally makes me feral. On top of that there algorithms being introduced by some companies so there's a chance a human person won't ever see it, and some places practice to just straight up ditch applications if you call in and ask about it. And that doesn't include the fucking thirty minutes to sometimes an hour the god damn things take and their weird pseudoscience personality quizzes that you need to bullshit the answers to if it's just some vague shit. Like homie I would be perfectly happy being a fucking barista please I want to be able to fucking survive this capitalist hellscape at the least.

Literally my BIL almost didn't get a job because of an algorithm. He knew someone in another company and told him to apply because the company wanted to hire him. They were actively head hunting him. He put in his application and they never saw it because whatever keyword they had set for applications wasn't in his resume. It wasn't until someone asked him after he submitted his application multiple times did they let him know what that keyword was. Added it, immediately got a call back.

Fuck having algorithms for resumes.
