     I don't work for ABC companies:
     AI, Bombs, Crypto.

     and the annoying thing is that some of these companies know that there's people like me and are trying to hide the fact that they're hiring for ABC jobs

     kinda like how Uber doesn't advertise any of their jobs as being for Uber's self-driving cab division (you know, the one that has killed at least one person)

     they're hiring for a "autonomous ride-hailing service"

     alcinnz and Jure Repinc :linux: :kde: repeated this.

     it's not about the language itself, mind you: Ada is a perfectly fine language, even if I don't know it.

     It's that the people who want you to know Ada are the people who thought it should be required for all new programming projects, like the department of defense

     Another company is hiring for web dev stuff, and the "submit job application" PHP file is throwing 500 internal errors.

     they DEFINITELY need a web developer

     maybe it was a mistake to embed EICAR and some actually live DOS viruses into my resume

     heh. "AI HW design verification"
     I don't want to work for an AI company but I could technically do that one.
     Every time they send me a design, I confirm if there's still AI in it, and if so, I fail the verification for that design

     THE FBI!? in what world would I work for the FBfuckingI?

     They delayed my wedding, tried to get me fired, and once mentioned my old 4chan username in a federal trial!
     They very, very don't want to hire me.

     this job application site has added "check all your pronouns" to their applying process. They left out a major one (it/its), but they do let you enter custom pronouns.

     Sadly they limit it to 41 characters, so I can't stick the entirety of Doom in there. Again.
