Good news, you’re not alone! I have a terminal degree and have been unemployed for even longer. It’s rough out there. You are doing literally everything I’ve been told across several years. Do NOT go back for a MA and put yourself in debt just to get the letters — this is not a good time for higher education.

Direct apply is the best advice I can give. If you find a listing on a job board, go to the company itself for the application. Everyone has a different opinion on how to do a résumé and cover letter, and I think the more input you can get the better. Have some more basic text ones you can feed into the applicant tracking systems (the newfangled trendy ones with your picture and skill percentages will get bounced.) Also see if there’s a local “young professionals” group through your chamber of commerce for more networking.

I really do wish you the best. It sounds like you already have a lot of good stuff going on.

There’s two types of holocaust deniers, as described to me by a holocaust studies professor:

1. The stupid ones. People who dismiss it as fake because numbers don’t add up, it just didn’t happen, there was a coverup, whatever bullshit.

2. The scary ones. The holocaust didn’t happen because they didn’t finish the job.

It used to be mostly the former, but as time goes on, the line is less distinct as we see a resurgence in hate groups more extreme than the last. So imagine the two combining into a version of “it didn’t happen because some got away.”

Side note: if you want an extraordinarily dark and depressing read, Klee, Dressen, and Riess’s The Good Old Days pulls together reports, correspondence, postcards etc from Nazis detailing some of the worst atrocities, and they just wrote some of this shit back to their families. That book haunts me.

Oh boy can’t wait to fire up my Kindle

Fucking lol, love it

Well well well, look who allegedly came back with their knee pads ready for some egg drop soup.

Nah, it’s mostly me, I wrote a bulk of the internet comments years ago and they just get recycled with updated references by some unpaid interns.

Sherman, we summon thee

I’m guessing they kept the ol Collins Aerospace Diamond business class seats in a 2-1-2 configuration

“Yeah I’m rolling down Rodeo with a shotgun / we ain’t seen a brown skinned man since our country club banned one”

Make it more annoying. Commercial breaks and an “Are you still watching?”

It’s incredible just how dumb he is. Like, dude, just throw daddy’s blood money at these startups and let them do their thing. But no, he has to get involved for ego reasons and absolutely wrecks them in the cringiest way possible.

To paraphrase George from Seinfeld: it’s not a law, if you don’t believe it

“Big man, strong man, he came to me, tears in his eyes…”

And that’s the end of my show! Donk.

Cash in your free two years of identityworks from whichever company leaked it, wait a while, cash in another two years from the next company that leaks it, wait a while, cash in another two years from the next company — you get the idea

Is this a story all about how his life got flipped, turned upside down?

One more of theirs, a classic

Like if Vin Diesel’s right nut were left outside on a moderately breezy day

Whoever allowed “farther” over “further” did not do an article about higher ed any favors.
