the analogy works fine. if you send out 100000 applications and get 0 interviews your resume sucks. If you get 50 interviews and fail each interview then you suck at interviews.
yeah after they started hiking rates a few years ago it feels like the whole economy has just been stagnant unless you're in AI. but the point is more about the ratio of applications to interviews
If I apply to 100 jobs and get 0 interviews, you would think that my resume isn't good enough for the current job market. If however I applied to 100 jobs, got 50 interviews, and struck out on all 50 interviews, you would think that my interviewing skills suck. So why is it that when a guy on here says they don't have good enough looks to get a date, people immediately say "no its not your looks, its your personality!" ? If he were getting dates that lead nowhere it would signal a personality is…
You ever get the notification from a dating app that you have a new match, then you go check and theres no new match? I often wonder if this is because the app is trying to reel me back in, or if its because I really did get a match and then they unmatched immediately. 🤔
I hate doing cardio but listening to eurodance while I do it makes my endurance last a little bit longer. Same with listening to white girl pop music while doing heavy lifts.
When you set out on a freaking JOURNEY and you are surrounded by people is the best. Because when you are at the end and success is near you look around and the only one with you is your own shadow dude.
It drives me nuts when someone messages me "Hi Dune" on microsoft teams then I have to sit there watching them type out whatever it is that they want for the next five minutes
age is a big one. Anybody who hasn't dated since before dating apps/social media has no idea what things are like now. their opinion doesn't matter to me at all
a significant amount of the ai trade requires OAI to be able to pay all of the data center capacity they committed to. and based off of their numbers for 2025, it seems unlikely they will be able to remain solvent in the long run. Even if they dodge that worst case scenario, all of the model providers are offering basically the same thing, which usually leads to future price cuts as they race towards the bottom. Google is in a pretty awful place imo. If their AI investments succeed they have tra…
I saw a major recession indicator today. there was a good looking skinny white chick out begging in the intersection that the same old dude begged for at least 8 years. No good. also how is the old dude supposed to compete with that? He is going to completely lose his territory.
mens deodorant doesnt actually smell like sandalwood and mountans tho. They say they do, but it smells like the mountain is synthetic and made out of recycled plastics
Why do womens deodorant get normal scents like pretty flowers and sweet fruit but dudes deodorant smells like laundry detergent somehow spoiled and lab grown coconut milk? Ive tried so many of these shits and they all are kinda gross. I ended up buying hippie deodorant that smells like oatmeal and doesn't really work
I gotta think on it some more but something happened to me today that made me realize that status plays a way bigger part in all human interactions than i thought. This aint just nobility vs the people theres tons of layers here
You ever meet someone new and your gut feeling is to dislike them but everyone else in your group thinks they are cool so now youre the weird hater? well this dude who i met 18 months ago made me feel that way so I intentionally never had any business with him. And then come to find out today he is accused of roughly 2m in white collar fraud and then I got sent a screenshot of him saying he plans to marry a 14 year old and have a dozen kids with her. So yeah i guess my gut was right on that one.…
Cash really triggers my inner Scrooge Mcduck. Having 10k in a checking account or a couple gold coins doesn't make me feel much, but holding 10k in cash? I turn into a greed monster. I feel like one of those guys who light a cigar with a burning $100 bill
also i just spent around 4 hours of my sunday getting my email server back working. I hate computers so much i cannot wait until i no longer have to be anywhere around them ever again.
used to, but after spending so many years working in kitchens I don't like it anymore. now I usually just make the easiest things possible if I'm cooking for myself
You ever go back and stalk people's facebook that you went to college or highschool with? wild shit man. Some of them rise some of them fall, but good or bad ive known them all
as time goes by more and more of my friends get gfs and wives and no longer have time to spend with the boys. Now its just three of us who regularly get together
there are only two rules: what can I do to you without you stopping me what can you do to me without me stopping you if i can convince the masses without providing sources and you cannot stop me, then you have been defeated heres a picture of a duck <image>
The hummingbird diet is a game changer for me. i had almost no sleep last night. Felt like shit in the morning but had a ton of sugar now im fully energymaxxed. Wings are flapping at 100000 flaps per second rn. I am so alive rn
just listed tons of shit on fb marketplace. Cant wait to spend the week getting hassled by people who dont read the descriptions. I will accept some low balls if the person has enough GUMPTION tho
AND IM HEREEE TO REMIND YOU OF THE MESS YOU LEFT WHEN YOU WENT AWAYY ITS NOT FAIR TO DENY MEEE OF THE CROSS I BEAR THAT YOU GAVE TO ME YOU YOU YOU OUGHTAA KNOWW
I had someone for a while that I would consider a mentor. But after a while I started drifting away. I realized that they are just a normal person and that their success which inspired me is the natural outcome of someone working at a goal for 20+ years
idk I often forget to eat then compensate by eating way too much for a human to ever consume in one sitting. usually I only remember when my sight gets blurry and I shake. i dont think its too big of a deal, no diabetics in my family that I know of and im not fat
album of the day is Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols by the Sex Pistols. dude I cant believe that bollocks is a word that people say over there 😂😆🤣🤣🤣
so many people who say they dont like guns but have never shot one end up loving guns if you can find a way to take them shooting just once. After I realized this i made it a point to try just about anything
this changed my life you guys. Whenever you feel doubt or guilt or really any negative emotion about your actions, just justify them with you being high test. feeling a little perverted because you saw a hot chick you want to bang? thats high test went all in and lost a poker hand? going all in is high test feel guilty about smoking a couple cigs with the boys last night? smoking is high test. hanging out with the boys is high test. reported personal expenses as business expenses on your schedul…
I ate a banana and a spoonful of honey and some orange juice. yesterday I lifted my fruit boycott and will now be eating fruits only before 5pm. I feel fantastic
you ever spend days working on something then the client goes "sorry got the requirements wrong please change everything lol sorry oops haha" im crushed rn gonna go drink some coffee and a zyn
Idk about exact numbers, but we were upper middle class till the 08 crisis. then my parents got divorced and my dad went to prison. nearly lost the house but my mom worked a bunch of part time restaurant jobs to keep us afloat. we were for sure lower class at that point. then by the time i got out of highschool my brother and I had part time jobs and my mother's income went up a bit so we were in sort of a lower middle class id say.
Feeding the goldfinches all winter has finally paid off. they all suddenly molted and they all have that pretty golden plumage now. I spent a couple hours watching them and reading my book this afternoon. good luck with the breeding season bird bros 👨🤜🤛🐤
Operation Ivy's self titled album is my album of the day. The lyrics to "Freeze Up" could have been written today. its also my favorite track on the album
Pin Points and Gin Joins by the Bosstones is my album of the day. "A Pretty Sad Excuse" is really hitting and is probably my favorite in the album. but The Route That I Took and You Left Right? are bangers too
I gotta decide on an age where if im still single i just go buy a house out in the middle of the country never to be seen or heard from again. I could do it today but I feel like i still have a very small chance of things working out. once that reaches zero I'm gone tho.
we need an outreach program to connect homeless people with drug companies that are looking to test new drugs on humans. Those studies can pay big bucks my man
if i was 18 again i would consider joining the merchant marine instead of college. My dad did it when he was young and he has all sorts of cool stories from sailing around vietnam and japan
depends on the job. if you have ownership or commission its pretty worth it. Or if you can realistically move up the totem pole from working harder than others. But if not theres no reason to go too hard
the conservatives sub makes no sense to me. you need a flair to be able to comment but they say to get a flair you need to be active on their subreddit? huh?? just let me shitpost on your sub dude
I don't think this is ppd specific tho. like on political subs i see the same exact arguments repeated again and again. people aren't looking for the truth, they are either trying to spread their idea by proxy or get you to agree with them. imo once you got them personally attacking you instead of your argument you've already won
I hate those types of people who basically say like "things will never be perfect so dont even try to make things better its no use bro". please stay away from me you are a dangerous person i do not want to be around
i have to filter out my nightly cute animal video watching by create time. anything 2025 and later is ai slop trash. I just want to watch beavers eat sweet potatos before bed dude.
you should accidentally leave some cat nip in your car and accidentally leave the door open and accidentally shut them in and accidentally drive them home with you
some dude off discord. I got a bunch of incoming payments and mistakenly thought he already paid me so i sent his package. then when i realized he started saying he will pay me when he gets it and i figured I was fucked. but nope he actually paid up. good guy
i thought for sure i got scammed but the dude actually came through and paid me even tho he coulda ran and i wouldnt have been able to do shit. Faith in humanity temporarily restored
when i buy bananas i always get them when they are green and eat them as they turn yellow. But sometimes i get a bundle that go straight from green to brown. when that happens i think that I have bad karma and i am being punished for being a bad person that week.
if someone passport bros do they have to stay in that country or could they realistically bring their relationship back to the states without getting immediately divorced
i had a thought at the gym. Dudes with low energy often are always tired because they have low T. but then I was like wait a second, women are low T too. So are women always tired? is this why women sleep? i feel like im close to a scientific breakthrough
for some reason i listened to a ton of Afroman during the pandemic lockdowns and it showed back up in my playlist today. immediately brought me back that shit was wild man
I'm glad i never got into vaping. Zyns really hit for me tho. I take breaks for a week here and there to not get addicted. Its more of a reward for myself when im going thru a stressful day
every time i see the word coup i always pronounce it coop like a chicken coop in my head even tho i know its incorrect. this is why we shouldnt use other languages words, you know?
My new favorite videos on the internet are people setting off giant illegal fireworks in the hood. Its even better than watching people steal copper pipes out of government buildings. insane how good my instagram algorithm is now
one of my favorite parts of being american is when you go to make an account online somewhere and you select a country from a drop down and USA is at the top. we completely skip the alphabetical order nonsense. gobbless the usa 🙏🙏🙏
All the cool album covers I can think of are from before mp3 players got big. theres gotta be a cause and effect here. People dont appreciate it as much nowadays I guess
I think vinyl is really cool but not because i care about the audio quality or whatever. Its cool when you walk into someones house and they got all their favorite albums just sitting there. not hidden away in some digital playlist. Plus it lets you appreciate the album cover
You ever listen to a song on Youtube and go to the comments section and its full of the saddest comments ever? its always talking about how their parents used to love this song before they got hit by a drunk city bus driver or some shit
parents should also make sure kids are participating in sports they are actually good at too. I was good at soccer as a kid, at least enough that they put me in the league with older kids. But instead of sticking with that I told my mom I wanted to do baseball instead. and I really fuckin sucked at baseball, i dont think I ever hit the ball in any game. wouldve been better socially to stay in the sport that I was good at
no. my strategy has always been to work so much that i don't have time to think about all the bad things. When i dont have enough work on my plate is when I start panicking about how bad things are
ive been so fucking stressed man im pounding down zyns and have only been getting like 4 hours of sleep max. Bad things just keep popping up the second i squash one problem two more show up
nothing really. im open to being wrong about even my most high conviction opinions. its like that mark twain quote, "It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so."
theres some people who id rather drill my eyes out than have to work with. Idk how ive managed to keep my temper for so long but recently i have just been full rage mode
id like to share them with a partner but not anybody else this is what its like to talk about feelings with your bros : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o53H889DI38
yeah this one was a major fuck up. even if he did attempt to point his gun at a cop (seems unlikely with 6 dudes on top of him) there was no reason to shoot so many times.
people always say that you should be friends with people wealthier than you so that you improve and get on their level. I disagree. be friends with ugly poor freaks and youll live like a king.
i remember the people ive chatted to on dating apps it happens so infrequently. Forgetting the people you date just shows men and women are on a completely different planet
he is the same way, just made a bad mistake once and it cost him pretty big. After he got out he went right back to starting a business and could retire if he wanted. I think hes the same way as me tho. if i am alone with my thoughts for too long my mental health goes to shit really fast, so I always keep busy.
im thinking if I still am single at the start of next year I'm gonna just say fuck it and move out into the middle of nowhere, never to be seen or heard from again.
Nope never mind we are so back bros and girls. Never forget that doomers are all trying to psyop you its all fake go out and read a book or take a walk or something. Wagmi
you gotta lie like crazy man. The recruiters at 99% of companies would watch you burn in a barrel fire if it meant they could get a slightly larger bonus.
ive been writing in a journal (not diary) since the beginning of 2024 and its paid of for sure. I was thinking back about something that happened last year and I was like "oh wait I can just read my journal (not diary btw)". Turns out what I wrote while i was going through it was completely different than how my memory thought it happened. very interesting
i saw some burberry cologne and i thought it said blueberry which made me excited because i like blueberries but then it didnt smell like blueberries and i realized my mistake brutal
i have reached the point where i no longer feel like arguing with people unless it directly moves me towards my goals. Its just not worth the slight increase to my heart rate and my blood pressure
last year i went to the doctor for the first time since i was like 18 and i had to tell the hot nurse i still wasnt sexually active it was brutal. never going to the doctor again ill just die if im ever sick again
advice from boomers always needs to be heavily scrutinized. Sure they may have some wisdom but they have no clue what the current dating/job/housing/etc markets are like for young people. The best you can do is find someone who was dealt a similar hand as you who has the life you want and try to emulate them.
If drinking and driving was only dangerous to me and not everyone else on the road i would do it till i wrecked and died. So i guess its a good thing I care about others
maybe this is an unpopular opinion but female cardinals look better than male cardinals imo. sure they dont have as many vibrant red feathers but the contrast makes their little bits of red and their little beak stand out more. Does this make me a simp? perhaps. Do i care? absolutely not
no man should date a woman heavier than he can bench. imagine her being on top of you like a sumo wrestler and theres nothing you can do. Fat people are extremely dangerous
i dont know who you are i dont know how i got here i am not participating in anything that other people are doing on here i pay all of my taxes on time
i had such a great idea today. I was buying a birthday card then it hit me. if I buy a dozen birthday cards i wont have to remember to go out and buy a birthday card for at least another year, maybe even longer. So i loaded up on a bunch of birthday cards
maybe it grew wings and flew away or maybe it was friends with the hawk and was just getting a ride or maybe it made a really big jump to throw me off its trail 🤞
i saw a trail in the snow so i followed it. Looked like a bunny hopping in the snow. but then it suddenly ended. I think a hawk or an owl mustve swooped in and ate it. poor bunny has no camouflage in the snow. very sad day. brutal, even.
i think my new standard for women is i need to be able to imagine myself in an apocalypse type scenario with them and not want to kms. If i cant see us digging through dirt to find worms for dinner then i dont think itll work out
you probably get recommended only women hygiene on tiktok because youre a gal. But you just reminded me of a terrible memory. back when i worked restaurants i had to clean bathrooms before opening. and god damn women made a mess of that bathroom there was vomit all over the place. Disgusting.
do women have better hygiene and live in cleaner homes than men? my gut tells me yes but that could just be the Women Are Wonderful effect. ive only ever lived with dudes so idk
the only thing worse than a reddit mod is someone who's not even a reddit mod trying to enforce rules for no reason. You need to get a grip on reality man. maybe take a trip to a foreign country, like Carlos in El viaje perdido (if youve never read it you are an uncultured swine). Stay healthy and listen to your God, and heart, man.
welp i was gonna sign up for a singles event but all nearby are only accepting sign ups from women. Looks like if i want to go ill need to wait for january sign ups to open and snipe a spot
i hate to do it but today i am being the biggest dickhead to customer service. im talking full Karen mode. sorry customer service bros but youve left me no choice today
last thanksgiving i got really drunk and i think that was part of my problem. this year im going in with a four beer limit no pregaming no nothing. That way im in the slot but not too far gone that im knocking into things or starting arguments. How many drinks do you guys have at family events?
you have a point with grinding financially but gen z is the first generation where dating success has been divorced from effort. We all know it and act accordingly.
i ate some bad fish and was throwing up all night then i finally went to sleep and my dreams were straight out of the Black Hole Sun music video shit was wack
ya know in like 50 or 60 years from now ill probably be gone or maybe even sooner. And it really goes to show how little anything i have built or could ever do really matters. Only thing that actually seems to have any worth is the present time and the people you spend it with. and thats not just romantic relationships but yoir friends, acquaintances, enemies, rivals, family, bosses, subordinates, mentors, advisors, everyone really. and some people will be lucky and get a life full of all those …
someone having more wealth than another isnt a problem when we are all getting wealthier. its why any sane person would rather be poor today than wealthy 1000 years ago. Its not a zero sum game
well the majority of americans do have ships, but even if they didnt they benefit from a strong economy. The idea that people with no wealth should steal from people with wealth instead of creating new wealth is kinda insane. lets make more ships instead of fighting over who owns the current ships
i mean im not surprised about that. I just think its weird that ackman has been freaking out so much about it on twitter when he should realize its unlikely Mamdani could even act on his shitty ideas
FUCK GOOGLE SPYING ON ME AND SPOILING A SHOW 😡😡😡 ive been watching a new show for the past couple days and fucking youtube decided to recommend me the end scene and spoil the whole damn thing. Whats really disappointing is that I never searched the name of the show or anything like that because i was trying to avoid this happening. i fucken pirated the show and dont even use google search so how the fuck did they decide to start recommending me scenes from it? blows ass stupid company
university is a waste of money and more importantly time. if you learn you will do well on tests, but if i did it again i wouldn't waste my time with all the assignments. So long as you pass and know the material you can skip the extra shit
once you have enough to have food in your belly and a roof over your head it doesnt matter that much. and its way easier to make money than get good looks
Fuck man i made that rule so nobody would give me lame ass "id buy bitcoin 🤓🤓🤓" answers. lets say you remember what your goal that you set previously is
if you knew for 100% certain that you would keep being reborn after you die, what would you do with the extra iterations of your life? you get to keep zero information other than the fact you will be reborn again. i think for me id probably try an Olympic athlete playthrough. then maybe a political run where I see how high I can make it up the ladder. Maybe do a Pope run after like 5 or 6 playthroughs. Astronaut run? could be pretty dope
america bros and girls you ever stop and think how crazy it was that the pilgrims came over here? imagine getting on one of those old wooden boats and sailing off for a month not really knowing whats on the other side. i was also just thinking how fucked it would be to be on those boats at night without lights. fuck man imagine hitting a storm. Nice job pilgrims you guys rock
my only complaint is that the cops come out too early. the old tcap ones were so good because they thought they could leave, only to get tackled 4 steps out the door. now they come out and arrest the dude in the house
theres a post on r/genz saying if Boomers had to date in modern times theyd all be incels. then a bunch of people in the comments showed up and say Boomers have more rizz than any other generation. lol perhaps even lmao
you memorize what you use a lot, and eventually forget what you dont. But more important is that memorizing syntax doesnt really matter much. learn the differences between languages and what each is best suited for.
anybody else go through waves of "i need to get a relationship asap" and "it is what it is ill just die alone i guess"? why does it come in waves? maybe all the birth control in the water is fucking up my T levels
most chicks just have stuff like "i hope you like bad girls because im bad at literally everything". another classic i see on hinge is the one where tou are supposed to say hello in every language you know and it just says "hello" like damn so cool
the teachers didnt give a shit i doubt half of them even noticed. I had one teacher in particular who was always hung over so she would always play a movie on the projector and go to sleep if you had her first period
all the time. The side of the building that the parking lot was on was near a side exit and none of the classrooms had a good angle of it. my friends and i would go in for first period check in, then tell our teachers we were going to the bathroom and leave for the day. once i got my first car i was out at least once a week
