  • Then your profile sucks. Mine did, too.

    I made my profile look like my resume. And then tweaked it until the inmail I got was for jobs I wanted.

    Part of it comes down to knowing how to write a good resume, the other part is gaming the keywords so your profile shows up in a good recruiter’s results.

    I still responded to every single message though because I’m pretty sure engagement metrics makes you more/less visible to prospective recruiters.



  • That case doesn’t look very protective. But I bet that kickstand would be useful. The only thing I put on my SD was a Deckmate (now Mechanism) system and their kickstand.

    Didn’t even put a screen protector on it which I do for everything. Mostly because I got the OG 512GB model with the etched glass and any protector is going to make the matte glass glossy.




  • I choose to use Instant Ink because I don’t print a lot and it still beats buying the carts. HP ships them to me for free and automatically before I run out and gives me return postage for the empties to be recycled.

    They also don’t have different rates for B/W and Color so I just print everything in color.

    I dont stress over $1/mo (or $1.50/mo if this increase hits me). I’ve had this printer for 2yrs on the cheapest plan and I’ve still not paid the full price of a set of cartridges.

    I’m sure I’ll be down votes for saying anything positive about the program but whatever. It works fine for me.

    Because giving grief to the workers doesn’t trickle up to the owners. They make the same money regardless.

    You can give shit to the owners while making sure workers make a living wage. These things are not related.

    If you don’t want to tip, then don’t tip. But still give grief to the owners. If everyone shit on the owners as much as the staff things would change.

    Business owners need to pay their damn employees and stop using the registers to beg customers for more money.

    And how exactly are you getting that message across by stiffing your fellow workers? Business owner makes the same money regardless.

    I always tip. Not because the service was good or whatever. No one should have to earn a living being a circus monkey. Everyone deserves dignity at work. And everyone deserves a living wage.

    By not supporting the worker, you’re playing into the game set up ny business owners and CEOs which is to foster an environment of in-fighting of the working class so they can continue to hoard wealth they don’t need.

    So yeah, I’ll always tip and then I give grief to the owner to pay their employees as you say. Because it’s them who sets up that worker-on-worker fight club because that’s where the grief needs to go. Not the person trying to live on meager wages and deal with shitty customers.


  • Cashiers also have their place, for when you have larger checkouts and what have you.

    In my grocery stores they’ve gone so far as making self checkouts with conveyor belts so you can do those large checkouts yourself.

    I refuse to use them. If I have a couple small items, then sure self-checkout makes sense. I don’t get cost savings, but I do get the convenience of a speedy checkout; faster than the single express lane they used to have.

    But I’ll be damed if I’m going to be a free cashier for them and scan an entire cart load of groceries and get nothing in return. At the very least pay for a bagger, wtf. Those are the real job killers right there.
