We will still consider suggestions of jury nullification for crimes that have not (yet) happened as advocation for violence, which is violating our terms of service.

I wish

I was thinking more along the lines of “Based on your connection to the Force and your relation to the Jedi Order, what color would your lightsaber be: A. Green B. Blue C. Red. D. Purple E. None of the above”, or “Which Pokémon was based on the Chinese Zodiac animal of your year of birth? A. Swinub B. Rapidash C. Lopunny D. Chimchar E. None of the above”

From what I begrudgingly know about astrology, “Does not apply” would only pertain to people who haven’t been born yet or who were born outside of the solar system. Knowing if “None of the above” applies still requires knowledge of how the arbitrary categories correspond with the calendar.

That comment was an explanation of layered figurative language. It was given artistic flourish to convey the emotion and situation in experienced subjective depth rather than the objective and literal point of view of an outsider. I am more succinct and linear in settings for which I have to communicate professionally.

I’ve not been diagnosed but I wouldn’t be surprised if I were. I think the verbosity and run-on sentences are coming out strong right now since I’m stressed over the job stuff, it’s late at night, and Lemmy is a fairly casual forum. As William Shakespeare said, “Brevity”.

Thanks. My natural verbiage is commonly mistaken for an LLM, whether that would be a good thing or a bad thing for that approach.

I’ll check it out, thanks. A resume reviewer had sent me an ATS scan but it was behind a paywall.

There is a dissonance between the echelons of positions. The employers for the lower jobs see your degree and wonder what’s wrong with you for you not to be in a higher position. The employers for the higher positions skim past the degree and don’t care about you unless you already have several years experience in the position.

I may sell myself short because I need income and none of the big fish show any sign of biting.

first step towards depression

Buddy, I’m the Harry Potter living under the depression staircase.

Thanks for the advice though (Thanks for everyone else in this thread as well btw)

A county clerk does the sort of stuff that a Wikipedia nerd is best equipped to do.

He’s not me; I moved to this district this summer and came across his public accounts while researching the candidates new to me on my ballot this year. And I’ve already comfortably made the move to Lemmy.

Rules vary from state to state. I just double checked my state’s .gov site and it verified what I had said before. I can try to see if they’ll accept it late but the fine text doesn’t look like they would.

I wouldn’t be surprised if at least some of your expectation that you’ll be rejected is coming through in interviews.

The thing is that I have to get to the interview stage first; for 99% of this process, it’s just been typed words with no direct interaction with a human person. For the one in-person I’ve had, I probably did show some discomfort because I was caught by surprise having to wear earplugs for a facility tour and they’d be required for the job but I have a medical condition that makes earplugs difficult and painful for one ear. I don’t believe a lack of confidence was conveyed in the phone interviews (apart from one really weird and unexpected AI voice interview), and I believe I came across confident for the one video call interview which was for a job I had only heard of a half hour prior.

Who knows, maybe you become the first Lemming to become elected to office

My recently re-elected county clerk is an active Wikipedia editor and Redditor; I wouldn’t be surprised if he has also partially migrated to Lemmy.
