What's extra cool is that if you don't want to talk about all of that with a stranger, they'll make fun of you for that too

I don't want to do the age assurance so I don't have DMs available. My phone number is still the same if you've still got it. I'll shoot you a text.

Also if you have any stats stuff in your degree I can help with that.

I would actually truly appreciate that, for real. I've found it hard to get actual feedback other than "double check your APA formatting" under the assumption that it's the only thing students struggle with.

But practitioners don't write essays, they help people, and that's ultimately what I'm hoping to do. I just need to get good enough marks to make it through to where I can do that, and I think I can skirt that line close enough, while juggling parenting a toddler and crushing unemployment.

It was really discouraging at first, finding myself back doing essays that I know won't be marked fairly according to their own standards. It's been like that since high school and it's one of the reasons I switched from Arts into Compsci in the first place.

Lol I think stats might be the subject that pulls my grades up enough to get into the next stage. I just don't write essays the way most markers like them. I hit every rubric, but something about my writing style makes them mark me down anyway. (It's the autism.) They always find a reason.

Oh cool you're doing social work. I'm doing a grad dip in psych, then hopefully masters too.

And it takes time. It takes your entire life. And just as soon as you've left one, you find yourself right in the middle of another one.That's what makes it a lifelong project, a continuous effort. Commitment to it waxes and wanes, but you must always find renewed commitment to it, or you die.

Yes you can earn your way to royalty by having your inferior friends help you represent all the six parts of magic: strong, fast, pretty, sexy, quiet, and magic

That's the kind of role I'd apply for, have a call with the recruiter, and get rejected for not being specialised enough. I'd have the skills to do it but the assumption would get made that I couldn't.

Like this was a tech company you've definitely heard of. A big Australian tech company starting with A. You know it. This is who they've got on payroll as an engineer, while my wife and I are having one meal a day to ration food.

Also are you still hiring? We're about to lose our home.

I keep hearing this, yet I've been actively interviewing for the last year. I keep getting to final stages and then rejected, so it's not like the people making the hiring decisions aren't seeing me. What's going on here? Are real people getting evaluated as bots?
