I genuinely think you should be able to get a job interview by walking into a business and introducing yourself with a firm handshake

writing a billion versions of my resume with matching cover letters and manually inputting all the information already on my resume into individual application forms and then getting rejected by AI screening scripts is making me wish i was dead

as a new yorker i support nyc secession lol

this is some genuine writing talent ty for sharing. might use this for future TTRPG inspo. likely a horror setting one cuz i have the stupid hole phobia.

excellent

Not a perfect solution but when I needed specific obscure and/or new editions for coursework, I’d go check out my university library’s copy and photograph all the pages I needed

it’s common for universities to keep a reserve copy (or a few) of any books required by courses. access may be limited (e.g. at my school you could check them out only 2 hours at a time). If your library has a book scanning station your life will be easier so ask if they have one.

One time after class I ran into a classmate trying to do the exact same thing, so we ended up taking turns sharing scan photos to save ourselves time the rest of the semester. Be sure to share the love with any fellow ultra-broke classmates

cool rock tax pls

yes that was definitely intentional and absolutely not just an anti-joke i used when i ran out of ideas. excellent catch 😎👉👉

how to assassinate a…

chemist: just keep challenging them to make more and more unstable and/or toxic compounds. if they’ve made it past FOOF gas, up the ante by saying “ok now do a 1-pot synth”

microbiologist: accidentally a little pathogenic virulence factors into their E. coli supply and poke some holes in the laminar hood HEPA. (don’t do this if you share a bathroom with them)

particle physicist: take a couple screws out of one of the hundreds of ladders around the facility

theoretical physicist: remove a manhole cover in one of their usual walking paths, Looney Tunes style

biochemist: sabotage all their grant proposals and they’ll take care of their own assassination

computer scientist: fucking don’t they’re an endangered species now

entomologist: literally indestructible don’t even bother trying. these motherfuckers raise botfly larvae in their own limbs for shits and giggles. i fear no man. but entomologists… they scare me

mathematician: use a gun

rocks or gtfo!

“…so usually ≥2 of those conditions are met?”

angry lab safety manager

my (uneducated) guess is some combination of catering to degraded attention spans, intentional manipulation of that degraded attention by malicious actors, and somehow it’s more profitable for the media companies to do news like this

fluorine does not enjoy being pinned on things and if you make it angry enough it’ll catch on fire

a heterocycle, being an energy dense hydrocarbon, is an unfun thing to have near angry fluoride

“pin the fluorine on the heterocycle” ooh my favorite party game
