how do I accept I'll never know why any employer rejected me?
  • Lol I am currently working at a job that is my fill the gap job. I left because I didn't like the direction they were going so I left and took a job as a laborer for a contractor. When I find the right fit I'll move on from this job.

    how do I accept I'll never know why any employer rejected me?
  • Lol why would anyone fuckin hire someone that bitches about the basics of finding, applying and following up on new job interviews.

    "I feel for those who have to do this without stable income or a family that offers them a place to stay..."

    It's common sense to most non-pampered people who don't expect people to wait on every one of their super bitchy complaints to just take a job beneath their qualification as a bridge the gap income while putting in the work to find their right employer to build their career with.

    Japan to criminalise cannabis use
  • What a wierd fucking reason to not currently punish weed consumption and then to use such an antiquated reason to criminalize it. The whole article read like something out of 1920's-1950's America. So dumb.

    Anon signs up for a dating site
  • In NY state and I assume others, there are new laws that protect consumers from dating app bullshit billing. I don't know a ton on it but I did enough research tonknow they must offer you a full refund for requests made in like 48hrs from signing up. Tried it with either e-harmony or plenty of fish and it worked like a champ. Was able to use app for full day trying out all the shit and seeing who was on there. Requested the refund the next day and got it no questions asked.

    Tyreek Hill learned he isn’t allowed to do what white people do
  • Like dodging charges for assaulting his girlfriend in college? Or how about when he beat his kid and told his wife, "Bitch, you should be too" after she said to him, "your son is terrified of you" the proceeded to threaten his wife to lie to the authorities so the charges would be dropped.

    He acted like the fucking scum bag he is to the cops and he fuckin got what he deserved. Mother fucker has been dodging charges that any non-athletic white person would never get away with. This piece of shit deserves to get hog tied and strung up like s pinata for his son to break open.

    "Shut Down" is redundant.
  • There's so many grammatical definitions for both words I feel like there is a logical combination that makes it not redundant. With that being said they do both have I wanna say the same transitional verb definitions but both might be post-derivstive of "shut down."

    2 transgender New Hampshire girls can play on girls sports teams during lawsuit, a judge rules
  • So what is a transgender girl? Born with dude fuck tools but born with dudette feel tools? Was the slim Jim wrestler competing in women sports south park episodes an actual possibility? I don't have kids and any nieces, nephews, 2nd cousins or friends kids I'm close enough to care about this shit for isn't old enough to be on the conversational radar of the parents yet.

    Edit: To add further context to avoid pissing anyone off for being dumb, I live in the rural US so limited exposure to all the varieties of peeps. No social media. Don't watch any TV that isn't a child's cartoon with niece or family guy type cartoon so for me its cartoon or die. I'm all for learning about new shit. The problem is there is so much new shit to learn I don't always have time to learn about all shit until it has some relevance to something I encountered.

    What is a product that sounded promising but ended up being very underwhelming?
  • My uncle is a Musk Stan and bought one. Ugly as fuck but 0-60 in under 3 seconds blows your mind enough to get past it. It's his Lamborghini or Ferrari. The vehicle will be used as a truck as often as a Ferrari is used to race. It's really something out of this world if you come from an area that has more cows than people. Uncle has money and still has his RAM TRX for everyday use. He enjoys his cybertruck so I can't hate... till I see that mother fucker stuck in a snowbank then I'm guna do donuts around it in the snowbank in 4 wheel drive real truck and leave him to wait for AAA for being an ass and buying a stupid star wars truck as my grandpa calls it.😂

    What is a product that sounded promising but ended up being very underwhelming?
  • Fuck everything samsung touches for software but I love the zfold series. Only phones I've ever owned that I can carry without a case and not break the screen. Not sure if it's still a problem with other phones as I don't see as many cracked screens as I used to. I am clumsy as fuck amd drop my phone all the time but these plastic flexible screens never break. The early models were breaking from common use where the fold crease would break but they seemed to have improve that flaw. It also only happened to me after a year or more of heavy use and it was covered by insurance so never really turned me off to the phone.

    America’s 3D Printed Gun Problem Is Getting Worse and Spreading to the World
  • Na they have materials to 3d print receivers. Here is a link to the most common material types used. (Not sure why the url calls for suppressors the article is about lower receivers.)

    I don't think you are going to be able to fire off 100rd drum magazines out of a 3d printed AR receiver but they definitely work, I've shot one with 30rd magazine. It was like anyother gun, the barrel was hot but the receiver and body were seemingly unaffected.

    America’s 3D Printed Gun Problem Is Getting Worse and Spreading to the World
  • No clue to the answer to your question but it's not difficult to load your own ammunition. Gun powder, shells and slugs aren't usually as heavily regulated in the US I'd assume to some degree that'd be true elsewhere. Can prolly buy it off eBay or craigslist if you really looked.

    Then it's just a matter of measuring and packing it all into a single bullet with a special fitted hand press. Super tedious and time consuming but easy to do. Wanna say old timers did it back when it was cheaper but the only people I know who still do it do it to controll their ammo consistency for either competition shooting or rifle hunting.

    Video shows officers dragged [NFL Star] Tyreek Hill out of his car after he put his window back up
  • Tyreek is a grade A piece of shit. Cops could've beat the shit out of him and it wouldn't begin to make up for him beating his son and threatening his wife to cover it all up. Or the assault charges his college girlfriend filed against him.

    From the assault charges for beating his son:

    Espinal: "What do you do when the child is bad? You make him open up his arms and you punch him in the chest."
    
    Hill: “You do use a belt. That’s sad,” Hill said. “Even my mama says you use a belt.”
    
    Espinal: "He's terrified of you."
    
    Hill: "You need to be terrified of me too, b****."

    I am one of the many Lemy converts from the reddit exodus to give context of my experience using Lemy. I exclusively use the sync app for Android.

    In my eary days here I was shocked to find how much content was in languages other than english. I can usually manage with posts that are links to articles by having them open in browser and use a translating extension.

    However I was wondering if there were any ways to have the content only available in the sync app to be translated?

    Fuck it'd be awesome if on my zfold multiwindow function to even have the native language in sync with the translated version in another window to let me pick up on some of the other language's commonly words and phrases. But I'd be happy with just being able to read their English translations.
