i FINALLY FOUND IT

[historical-nonfiction]

Benjamin Franklin helped to create Impeachment Clause of US Constitution. He realized that if a president were to “render himself obnoxious,” then people would logically consider assassination unless there was a legal way to get rid of the president.

[deducecanoe-deactivated20161213]

Just obnoxious. Not treasonous or acting outside of the best interests of the American people. Just really really fucking annoying.

[backofthebookshelf]

Ben Franklin understood people.

My Uber driver is playing a talk debunking white supremacist talking points

[powerfulwizard]

I love this concept, I’ll drive you to the bar but we’re going to unlearn white supremacy on the way.

yo can I drop some advice all you kids trying to get entry level jobs need to learn? I learned it the hard way and now I shall impart that to you.

when you see this shit, that goes “you need like 10 years experience and all this other qualifications nobody with all that would ever apply for a job like this with”, that means one thing: they are weeding out people who don’t believe they can achieve that level. They go “sigh, I can’t even compete, fuck it.” and don’t apply, saving the company the trouble.

What you, as a fresh new student, need to do- is apply anyway with a Luffy-like optimism that you will get that fucking job!! You don’t have a million years experience BUT YOU’LL TRY AND NEVER GIVE UP ETC. You write an opener letter with that in it, submit your shit, and get that goddamn job because they just found somebody who’s willing to give it a try anyway, who has the confidence and the ability to play with the big boys and they will train you to become a master because fresh meat is vital to the industry. 

tldr: APPLY ANYWAY, YOUNG GRASSHOPPER

[writingfail]

i really wish i’d read this three months ago

to those who are still looking for their first job: it wouldn’t hurt to try. the worst thing that can happen is that you get a “no”

[masswisteria]

So, really interesting statistic that just came up in hiring diversity training at work: women will typically only apply to a position if they feel they meet 100% of the requirements.  Men will typically apply if they feel they meet just 60%.

And guess what?  They still get hired, because a lot of job descriptions are total garbage.  These aren’t crafted masterpieces handed down from the divine goddess of Human Resources.  These are things that were thrown together at the last minute 3 years ago by some manager with too many more important things to do, and they’ve been used untouched ever since.

Think about this, and think about those numbers, ladies.  Think long and hard about this statistic next time you are looking at a job description and telling yourself that you can’t cut it.  You probably can, and applying is free.

(P.S.: I’m happy to give resume advice to people - especially new college grads in the tech industry.  That’s the field I know and do interviews in; I’m not sure if my advice would be as applicable elsewhere.)

[sketchbook-wizard]

So yeah. This. This is very important.

[madasthesea]

Pretty much the best advice I ever heard in terms of finding a job is to apply with all the in-born confidence of a mediocre white 22 year-old man with a rich father

Idg why people are against busty women in turtlenecks, literally who cares if you have “uniboob”? To whom do you owe separate and defined titties? Only cowards and fools fear the breast monolith

[dragon-in-a-fez]

do you ever just suddenly learn there’s apparently a whole Discourse you’ve never heard of before

Every detail in this story from Katya’s life is more absurd than the last

[autisticute]

My NT friend: doesn’t this silence bother u

Me, autistic: are u telling me u can’t hear this incredibly loud fridge

[autisticeducator]

The lights have sound

Electronics have sound

Appliances have sound

If electricity runs through it, it has sound.

Rarely is there actual silence (and that does bother me due to lack of sensory input).

This is why the barn uses me when they think the horses are reacting to a noise they can’t hear. I’ll likely find it (it’s usually the heating or the electrical box in the indoor).

I also know when the electric fences are on.

[wetwareproblem]

For years I was convinced that I was either hallucinating or had hearing damage, because electronics always made this high-pitched whine that was closer to being felt than heard, and nobody else knew what I was talking about. Then I met other autistic people.

[darkpuck]

Is this one of the cases where autism and ADHD are sharing symptoms again, or should I look into getting tested? Because literally nobody else had ever heard the noises when I asked as a kid.

[FLOURESCENT LIGHTS oh god i hated that noise]

[notlostonanadventure]

OTHER PEOPLE CAN HEAR THAT TOO??

[sperciphecles]

Anyone can overcome their RAS if they try hard enough. I've always made people do it so they know what I'm talking about when I hear something and I always knew what I heard. Definitely have an ADHD diagnosis. I'm not a fan of ticking clocks.

[knifefightscene]

that video of somebody putting makeup on an egg and somehow making that egg looks exactly like 89% of instagram just explains makeup culture more thoroughly than anyone on here ever could

[knifefightscene]

[nest-deactivated20181209]

disney’s gonna release the live-action little mermaid movie and the director’s gonna do an interview for teenvogue where he says the crab sebastian is gay and everyone’s gonna laud it as the most woke moment of 2019 and a horde of 21-35 year old women on tumblr will draw human aus where he’s a young white redhead and he and king triton are fuckin’

Gamer guy: isn’t it weird that the richer a video game company gets the lower quality their products become? Like, every studio that made good high quality games when they were small now makes shitty boring soulless games only made to appeal to the lowest common denominator? I think feminism is causing this.
