okay, I’ll bite. what’s “homestuck”

Jobs ignoring you and sending rejections for positions you’re extremely qualified for might be incompetence, but it seems like they are just listing positions they don’t really care to fill. Forcing you to join job sites so you get those emails full of other job offers seems specifically counterproductive to recruiting, but seems great for wearing down job seekers

I’m gonna become a conspiracy weirdo about the idea that a global ruling class has designed online job search to be as psychologically damaging as possible to keep wages down

some people really treat this website like the serious business social media site from Homestuck

disqordia.space -- one of the worst offenders in general. great evidence that white queer folks are in fact, still white, and still capable of being massive racists. They've fomented all this and spun it as "folks ignoring trans women/transfems talking about transmisogyny" in a classic case of DARVO. Admins participate in this too. Let me be clear: they are targets of transmisia/queermisia, but they've also made a habit of harassing and screwing over users of color, including queer POC folks.

That they are able to weaponize their oppression in this way and lump in folks (rightfully) criticizing them for this with bigots who hate them for being trans is of course a result of their privilege as (mostly) white folks.

You see it with cisgender white women too, with them weaponizing a legitimate and warranted mistrust of men against black folks, especially black men, both historically and to this day.

It's really frustrating to see queer folks choose whiteness over solidarity. Especially since, inevitably, the bigots they've aligned themselves with will turn on them.

#ChatGPT can pass exams that a majority of students can't"

i think this says more about how our education relies on non-introspective reproduction of information than it says about the future of computing

like, it just shows that our education systems are incompatible with actual humans when a computer is better at it?
