At first glance, the "ad" looks almost indistinguishable from a legitimate ad showing Kylie Jenner wearing a pair of smart glasses. But if you look at it from a different angle, the image turns to black and white and Jenner's face takes on a creepy, skeletal look. Instead of "Meta AI glasses" the text changes to "Meta: We're always watching." From the group "Everybody Hates Elon"

@Nead@social.vivaldi.net @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org A story about Ben's ever more elaborate food puzzles for the squirrels, and how they keep figuring it out. Have you found some good recipes for squirrels fattened on organic produce?
Also, you should think of building your squirrel feeders like the Hawaiian Queens: They built fish traps which had narrow openings. When the fish entered and fed, they were too fat to get back out. Same applies for squirrels.

@akareilly@hachyderm.io I'd offer that the nobles PR firms trot out "xenophobia and patriarchy" as a distraction, because to blame the other is to redirect anger at their own situation.
Also: amazing this thread got so far without a single Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference.

Having been a guide on 3 private trip on the Grand Canyon (plus many other river trips), I could see where the pro guides could use some help. Its a lot of really strenuous physical work to get downriver, setup camp, cook, clean and pack every day. Plus each trip is a long time to be away from family, even though you're around (often, very lazy) customers.

@inthehands@hachyderm.io About privilege: What I've seen is firms hire from a pool of known/people with personal references before going outside, and most of this thread is about approaching from the outside.
That privilege pool often includes people who networked because they
- attended the same school like MBAs from Harvard, for instance)
- joined the same fraternity or sorority
- whose parents belonged to a yacht club, or any kind of social club
- etc... as the hiring manager
My suggestion is to stop applying as the outsider, and start networking.

@mattblaze@federate.social Could also be correlated to the extreme health care costs.
The hospital has to
- pay to keep a well-trained maintenance tech for each instrument, and
- keep the supply chain going (paper rolls aren't free, neither are the factories that make them) and
- keep a calibration lab in business to tune that o-scope and recorder.
Whereas a lot of modern o-scopes I've gotten to work with have a printer and USB ports built in.

@skeletor Bad news, Skeletor:
Roger Sweet, a Lake Stevens, WA resident and the toy designer who created the He-Man action figure for Mattel, died this week after a battle with dementia. He was 91. “Roger played a pivotal role in the early development of Masters of the Universe, helping introduce iconic characters including He-Man and _Skeletor_ to the world and inspiring generations of fans to find their inner power,” the toy company said in a statement. “His legacy endures in the characters he helped bring to life and the imaginations he ignited.”

@nuintari@mastodon.bsd.cafe @inthehands@hachyderm.io Doesn't work for everyone, but have you considered working through a contract agency?
Benefits: you get to meet lots of different types of teams to see their work flow processes, and check out the Co., before maybe going direct.
Drawbacks: shitty benefits, usually lower pay, job churn.
One recruiter amalgamation site I use is ContractJobHunter.com which has a feature to spam the recruiters.
