I had multiple interviews with a company and was told they went so well they stopped interviewing other candidates. The interviews did go quite well. Then they hired internally.

It was a bullshit short term contract anyway, but that’s the best interview I’ve had in 3 months of searching. I don’t know if that counts as a “fake” job, but it was a huge waste of everyone’s time.

AI coding in a nutshell. It makes the easy stuff easier and the hard stuff harder by leading you down thirty incorrect paths before you toss it and figure it out yourself.

I think there might be a lot of value in describing it to an AI, though. It takes a fair bit of clarity of thought to get something resembling what you actually want. You could use a junior or rubber duck instead, but the rubber duck doesn’t make stupid assumptions to demonstrate gaps in your thought process, and a junior takes too long and gets demoralized when you have to constantly revise their instructions and iterate over their work.

Like the output might be garbage, but it might really help you write those stories.

They are venomous but non-lethal unless you have significant health issues already. What a tarantula attack is good at is triggering an involuntary fight or flight response.

The really awful thing is that tarantulas are quite fragile. My great aunt used to own a pet store and she killed one just trying to blow some sand off its belly and it leaped out of her hand and cracked itself open on the floor.

I would note that ads are a source of poor performance, and vectors for infection and compromise of a system through realistic misleading dialogs and outright exploitation of vulnerabilities.

I have had my parents fall victim to viruses and get scammed out of money due to advertisements on purportedly legitimate websites.

If a website doesn’t work due to an ad blocker, my parents don’t need to visit it.

Reactionary bullshit conceivably being promoted by the advertisement industry instead of rising organically (though it really only matters when asking whether its a few loud people, or a bunch of AI-generated noise).

I fucked up a lot of potential relationships by being too horny, and a lot of potentially fun hookups by being too serious. But it all worked out in the end.

The whole package is quite lovely, but that collar suggests you’re into the fun toys. It inspires ideas both sensual and cruel, the details of which are best left to our respective imaginations.

And yes I’m trying to avoid obvious and pedestrian observations about how delectable your body is, but I would love to run my hands all over you. My wife is built similarly, so I guess I just have a type.

Admitting you’re a pedo isn’t a good look. Fortunately you don’t matter one bit to me. All your anger, rage, jokes, whatever - none of it is worth anything.

He just needs a good cry and he’ll feel better.

What a douchey way to say something.

I must admit there are other features I’m drawn to.

Well he specified static website, which rules out WP, but yes. If your host accepts posts (in the generic sense, not necessarily specifically the http verb POST) that raises tons of other questions, that frankly were already well addressed when I made my post.

I do love a little peek-a-boob.

Well first, they claim ownership over all women, then rent them out to men.

I want to say that’s just cynical sarcasm, but I’m not certain.

I have five kids from 12 to 30. I worry about their future, but I think they are going to be alright. They’ve all turned out very different from anything I expected, but each is them are strong and successful in their own unique ways. My son battled addiction and bipolar, is 4 years sober and just graduated from nursing school suma cum laude. My oldest daughter just transitioned to a new career in preparation to start her own family. My littlest continually surprises (and frustrates) with her strength and independence. I’m not even sure I’m raising her at all, so much as she’s raising herself and can’t wait for her parents to get out of her way.

Kids are amazing. Good luck!

Well, if they live in another state it probably would…

DDoS and hacking are like taxes: you should be so lucky as to have to worry about them, because that means you’re wildly successful. Worry about getting there first because that’s the hard part.

Well, that looks horrifying.

Edit: also I can’t believe no one has said, that face looks eerily like Thomas the Train.

It’s a beautiful holiday to celebrate with you.
