| Topic | The average American man 20 years old and up weighs 197 pounds |
| Nanaimo-Bar 09/21/20 7:39:37 PM #13 | I was about that at the beginning of the year and I'm down to 155lbs right now. Not going much lower, if anything I'm gonna start bulking soon, but not until the gyms are safe to go to. --- |
| Topic | The job market is so completely and utterly fucked right now |
| Nanaimo-Bar 09/11/20 3:36:54 AM #23 | Oakland510_ posted... You gotta send in your resume/job application then call or visit them introduce yourself and say you applied. Tell them something else too before leaving like your experience. Make yourself stand out of the crowd of hundreds or thousands that applied for the same job. Lotta idiots just send their resume without doing anything else and cry that no one want to hire them. Doing that is like employers picking out your needle in a haystack. Maybe you're misunderstanding. My colleague personally knew the recruiter. This is a person he considers a friend. And he gave this person my glowing recommendation. For an ENTRY LEVEL JOB. Wasn't enough, though. --- |

I'm curious, what kinda places and jobs are you interested inRight now, anything and everything in my area related to my field. I just need experience. Before this fucking dumpster fire I was planning on learning AWS, maybe getting in to devops or SRE. Now I'd fucking put on knee pads and suck dick on a street corner if it could be put on my resume as a marketable skill in software engineering. --- |

| Nanaimo-Bar 09/11/20 12:21:56 AM #1 | Graduated in May in Computer Engineering, with work experience. Applied to well over a hundred jobs since then. I can count the number of responses from employers on one hand. I have nearly a dozen people referring and recommending me, including my former manager (who says he would hire me back but there's no openings right now). Some have referenced me to multiple companies. None have been able to pull anything for me. One of my connections CC'ed me in the email to a recruiter. It was glowing. It was some of the nicest things anyone's ever said about me. He said I was a genius and one of the most creative thinkers he's ever met. The recruiter's response? "Sorry, we're not interested in recruiting new graduates at this moment." --- |

| Nanaimo-Bar 08/20/20 12:52:57 AM #1 | I can't imagine a quorum more qualified to demystify my dating dilemma than the Current Events message board on Game FAQs dot com. I started talking with this girl in, eh, early February. At the time she was just a cool friend of a friend who enjoyed similar music to me and mostly it was just a chill conversation and I didn't think much beyond her just being another friend. During quar though, we still talked a lot but we even did online stuff. One of the music groups we mutually liked did an online concert that we watched. We watched Netflix party together. Still though we were pretty much just friends and I was basically satisfied w/ that. So obviously quar meant that nothing was gonna happen during that time, like, dating-wise because there was nothing to do anyways. However, the real issue is that she works in a hospital. She's very cautious about covid, for I think pretty good reason (better than average at least lol). Recently I've been thinking maybe I should ask her out. Maybe I really want to ask her out because she made the quar months pretty tolerable for me. But a week or so ago her friend had a birthday party, not anyone I know but I asked if she's gonna be hanging out with her friends more often now that they sorta broke the ice. She said nah, she can't because covid's still going on. Tacitly that sorta signaled that she's not going on dates any time soon, doesn't it? I mean, I know for sure that it does. It sucks. I gotta just move on, and I know that, because the alternative is putting my social life on hold for this girl that, sure, I really like, but we're not dating. I can't reasonably expected to wait, what, years? This isn't ending any time soon yo. I guess that's the answer really. Move on. But it's a tough pill to swallow especially without any sorta finality. I guess I could ask her out knowing the answer's gonna be a "no" but it's rough knowing it's not a "no" because she doesn't like me, it's a "no" because the world's on fire and she's on the front line. /vent --- |

| Nanaimo-Bar 07/20/20 11:37:11 PM #16 | DespondentDeity posted... What does it matter if you wash your hands afterward? Sometimes I have a dumb brain moment and wash my hands before flushing and then realize, oh shit, I'm fuckin stupid. --- |

| Nanaimo-Bar 07/20/20 9:38:07 PM #1 | This isn't a joke. There's no punchline. It's not supposed to be funny. I never want to touch a toilet with my hands. It's the grossest object in the house. Why hasn't society progressed passed this barbaric practice? --- |
