Here's the Problem I've Got With AC

Journal by MichaelDavidCrawford

Specifically, the AC who claims that all job posts are works of fiction and that Soggy Jobs is a fraud.

It is specifically for people like him that I built it. I want to facilitate the employment of those who find it difficult to find work.

However, I am forced to concede that I'm stymied by this particular AC. I expect he has some manner of mental illness whose paranoia leads him to be completely convinced that _nobody_ actually works as a coder.

The booming Portland economy is centered around the Pearl District and its Downtown. Locate your startup there and you'll get VC like there's no tomorrow.

But you won't hire any coders.

Have you any advice as to how I can help him? Help me out here, I'm begging you!

    Sure thing, dickhead. So you say I'm just playing a psychological game.

    Your armchair analysis might have some merit except for the fact that I'm actively seeking work every day and not simply declaring my situation is hopeless. My prospects are indeed hopeless because employers have decided to game the system but that doesn't stop me from trying to play. Techbros love to chant "learn to code" which I did and "get good" which I am. It doesn't fucking matter because the fucking moneyed elite shitscum employers broke the fucking job market.

    It occurs to me upon rereading my comment about your economic death spiral that I forgot to mention we had recently yet another mass shooting by a disgruntled loser.

    As your economic death spiral continues, you will see increasing numbers of mass shootings as the disenfranchised will realize the futility of their circumstances and will kill as many people as possible before suicide. This is happening, and you deserve it.

    Fuck MDC

    You'd rather play Berne's Games than get a job.

    I should have pointed out that because your own Survival Strategy saved your very life, your delusion is quite deeply held.

    Please tell me that you're not planning to become an Active Shooter yourself.

    Your armchair analysis might have some merit except for the fact that I'm actively seeking work every day and not simply declaring my situation is hopeless.

    You are declaring the entire industry a sham or a scam or a <insert your favorite accusation here>. So are you knowingly and willfully participating in a futile exercise by applying for jobs you claim don't exist?

    As your economic death spiral continues, you will see increasing numbers of mass shootings as the disenfranchised will realize the futility of their circumstances and will kill as many people as possible before suicide. This is happening, and you deserve it.

    And this is why you will never get a job. Your vitriol is so evident that you cannot hide it.

    These shooters are not frustrated with the job market. They lose their grip because of political hatred or bullying (actual or perceived) or racial/xenophobic hatred or even religious reasons. Shooting up a bunch of people because they can't get a job will never get them a job. But shooting up a bunch of people they hate (for whatever reason they have concocted) will always punish those they target with their hatred.

    I'm not saying disgruntled workers don't occasionally shoot up their (current or former) places of employment. But these are not random mass shooters like the ones that shot up Thousand Oaks, or Las Vegas, or Sutherland Springs, or Sandy Hook or or or.

    The fact that you seem to justify, and even embrace, these shooters is concerning. With your anger issues, and your hatred of everyone who has a job, it's possible that your powder keg potential shows through during your interviews.

    You have potential, but with every post that potential seems to shift more towards negative acts rather than employment. So, Salty Spice, you seem to get more salty with each post.
