Til that the flamer in Fallout doesn't "make noise" so officially counts as a sneaking weapon.
Yup, I'm sneaking around, roasting enemies that can't "see" me or my fire xD

Slightly bummed that you can't get an official pet death law like the cyberdog and sentinel PA
Then the latter immediately reminds me that Bethesda games have terrible companion AI and, as cool as a Deathclaw companion would be, it'd get in the way like everyone else xD

Thinking about what I'd drop from job applications and it was between annoying online forms, and cover letters.
I've decided cover letters are the one that should go.

Sometimes Outlook has really dumb ads. Got one today:
"Toilet Cubicles Online - Children's Toilet Cubicles"
Who the hell makes these ads and who the hell decides to serve them to people?

Starting to think that Trump saw what Putin was doing and how nobody was doing anything but sanctions and decided he wanted to have a go too.
Problem is due to the reliance on the US for pretty much everything modern means everyone is fucked if the US got sanctioned

I'm often glad my internal voice doesn't always reach the external part because I was very close to being equally rude to an old lady who told me to move up because people were waiting outside.

I've noticed a number of AI promoting articles have been popping up again trying to encourage people to use something they don't need to do something in their life.
"I fed all my code to AI!"
"Use AI to help you save money!"
"Use AI to organise your life!"
Sod off e.e

I'm already fed up of doing job searching
One place is just a metric ton of AI jobs, another is mostly dubious "remote" jobs with a wage that's just as sus:
Some offering a "highly competitive" $10k p/a
Some offering $5k-$8k a month
One was offering £45k for a remote admin assistant

Since graduating I'm suddenly getting a lot of IT course recommendations.
Including way too many that basically say "Learn coding to build your own AI slop machine"
No, just no, fuck off. What's the point of learning coding just to add to the AI shite market?

Getting proof of aged for a box of mince pies is a new one on me.

I'd forgotten about Suckerberg and his AI glasses. There's nothing that would make me even consider buying them (especially as I already need glasses to see clearly so they wouldn't work for me anyway)

Now that I'm back to job hunting against it's nice to see stuff hasn't changed much. Several dozen AI trainer jobs plus a few jobs that could maybe do with some revision:

Just seen this scenario posed on faceache:
Blue Vs Red
If 50%+ pick blue, nobody dies
If less than 50% pick blue, anyone who picked blue dies
Anyone who picks red won't die
Some claim the red pickers are selfish.
Nah, we just know how people vote against their interests to make others suffer
