I think it’s more general than that. I get more of a dude venting to a friend who’s no longer with us vibe from this.

I’ve been asked all these questions in my job search in the last 6 months. The questions I imagine you’re skeptical about like have you ever been depressed or abused drugs do come up often. Not in the initial application but in the required personality test.

That option only shows up when you set up Pro edition unfortunately.

You’re right, it was in S mode. I had to create a junk email address to unlock it. The original account was an admin but it wouldn’t remove S mode without an MS account.

I’ve had 2 instances where the Shift+F10 method didn’t work on a Windows 11 Home edition install. 1 was a brand new HP laptop I set up for a friend. It came with a bunch of bloatware so I created a bootable USB and reinstalled the OS. It didn’t pull up a command prompt when I tried the command no matter what I did. The second was at work. I accidentally let it update during the setup and afterwards it accepted the bypass command, but still never gave me the option to log in without a Microsoft account. I have a feeling they’re phasing that option out for Home.

At least Pro has the domain join option. Still it sucks that Bitlocker gets set up automatically and associates the key with the first Microsoft account you sign in with.

It looks an awful lot like those generational AI movie stills. There were videos a couple years ago that were just stills with a title like dark souls as an 80’s movie.

Or the inner monologues that last 2 or 3 minutes but supposedly only last a few seconds in the show’s universe

Lol, I really don’t care. I’m a cis gendered dude and I’m completely comfortable using the men’s bathroom. It just defeats the stated purpose to have a 3rd bathroom for people who feel uncomfortable in the other 2.

Side note: for the love of god if you shit at work clean up after yourself. Bring baby wipes if you have to.

Except old dudes just use those bathrooms to take dumps all day so it always stinks in there.

It’s definitely real.

Apparently they can’t roll out Gemini to my phone because I never gave them my birthday. It’s a really old account and they’ve been sending me notifications to add my birthday for years.

Honestly, I would love to get into security. Too bad all the hiring managers pulled the ladder up. No one is willing to teach or train anymore even though they all had the ability to learn on the job. I tried getting into security, programming, and even sys admin positions, but they all require a ridiculous amount of experience for entry level. Even the internships I applied to for programming expected me to create fully functional programs for the interview. I have more than enough knowledge and experience for a beginning sys admin job. Even though my title is help desk we are extremely understaffed so I handle high level stuff everyday. I don’t even get a response when I apply to those positions.

Also, it’s true labor jobs pay well, but they have inconsistent hours and destroy your body. Our body’s aren’t designed for constant tool use. Vibration and constantly gripping things wrecks your hands. Lifting and carrying things is hard on your back and joints. Most labor jobs are 1099 positions as well so it doesn’t matter if you make less than a full time minimum wage position would in a year, you’ll still be expected to pay back over 30 percent of your wages in taxes. That’s fine if you own a company, but it shouldn’t be allowed for a general laboror.

I got a computer science degree because I got into computers as a kid and I was good with them. When I apply for a job it feels like like I’m competing with half the planet. It took 2 years to get the current job I have at an MSP and I’ve been applying for new jobs for a year now. I can count the times I’ve been contacted by recruiters over the past year on one hand. There’s plenty more in my boat. If we’d known we probably would have had a different major.

I did labor before landing a job with an MSP by the way. I’m in my early 30s with back, neck, and hand problems now and pain that radiates into my hips and legs. You don’t get out of labor jobs unscathed.

I’ve set reminders on my phone to remember to check lists, but I end up ignoring the reminders because I have too many and they’re annoying.

I think it’s a play on the insurance adjuster job title. Pretty clever IMO.

There probably is a solution, but nuking it is usually more cost-effective.

The people who benefit from the way the world currently works will fight like hell to not acknowledge that there is any other way of existing. I imagine it was the same for women when they wanted to break free from their dependance on men.
