The Job Market Is So Bad, Survey Finds Most People Looking For Work Just Don’t Care Anymore

The Job Market Is So Bad, Survey Finds Most People Looking For Work Just Don’t Care Anymore

Published by Jenni Sidey

The burnout from looking for work is real. Talker Research conducted a survey of 5,000 career hopefuls who are essentially done with looking for work because it feels hopeless.  According to the findings, “Eight in 10 unemployed Americans are struggling to find the motivation to continue their job search.” Add to that the challenges of AI replacing jobs, AI making the resume-review process more difficult, fake jobs, and the simple fact that applying has become much more difficult than ever before. Is it any wonder that the unemployed just don’t care anymore? The job market is so bad that a survey found that most people looking for work just don’t care anymore. MAYA LAB | Shutterstock What was so interesting about the survey was that, despite Gen X and baby boomers being unemployed for the longest stretch, every generation was struggling. From feeling overwhelmed at the market itself to the stress of countless rejections, the overall theme among those who want to work but simply can’t find a job is why even try.  The US …

Clavicular Says He’s Quitting Drugs, Meaning He Can’t IRL Stream Anymore Because He’s Unable to Mog Sober

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Braden “Clavicular” Peters was rushed to the hospital earlier this week after suffering a suspected drug overdose. A video circulating on social media showed his entourage carrying the limp body of the 20-year-old so-called “looksmaxxing” influencer into a black vehicle. The hair-raising incident perfectly illustrated the dangers of encouraging young people to attempt to “maximize” their physical appearance through often risky and ill-advised practices, which range from treating facial acne to plastic surgery and “bonesmashing,” a bizarre phenomenon that involves striking one’s own face with a hammer. Peters has long boasted about injecting himself with a variety of substances, including testosterone, something he’s reportedly done since he was 14. He’s also known to consume a daily “stack” of other drugs and supplements, including Adderall, a prescription drug conventionally used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and even methamphetamines, a dangerous and addictive stimulant. The exact cause for his recent trip to the hospital remains unknown. The Miami Police …

10 Signs You’re Mentally Exhausted By People Who Can’t Think For Themselves Anymore

Published by Jenni Sidey

Sometimes the most draining kind of exhaustion doesn’t come from working too hard. It comes from constantly being around people who repeat the same opinions, avoid questioning anything, or expect you to just go along with whatever everyone else is doing. If you’ve started feeling mentally exhausted by people who can’t think for themselves anymore, it can show up in distinct ways: shorter patience, less interest in conversations, and a growing urge to step back from certain social situations altogether. These signs can help you recognize when that kind of mental fatigue is building in your everyday life. Here are 10 signs you’re mentally exhausted by people who can’t think for themselves anymore: 1. Small talk starts to feel unusually draining SeventyFour | Shutterstock When small talk feels exhausting, it’s usually the first, most obvious sign you’re mentally depleted by people who can’t seem to think for themselves anymore. You don’t mind casual conversation sometimes, but repeating the same surface-level exchanges over and over begins to feel tiring instead of uniting.  Learning how to communicate …

At 52, I’m Officially Too Old For These 8 Things And Honestly, I’m Just Too Tired To Care Anymore

Published by Jenni Sidey

At 52, I look back 25 years and think about the information available to me then as compared to now, and I realize why my ADHD brain swirls like one of the cheap pinwheels my husband puts on our deck.  I was still decades away from caring about headlines that had to do with aging. Back then, I just scanned headlines in Cosmo for “3,609 Ways To Please Your Man” articles. (Hint: Say yes. That’s really all it takes.) For the record, I just lied. I never scanned for those articles. They annoyed me all those years ago. Now I find them unworthy of contemplating. Today? I can read one of thousands of articles on aging, ranging from reasons it stinks (no, it doesn’t) to age-appropriate ways to wear eye shadow (you can have my black eyeliner when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers). At 52, I’m officially too old for these things, and honestly, I’m too tired to care anymore: 1. Shutting up I love getting older. I spent a lifetime filled with …

Why Watching March Madness Just Isn’t That Fun Anymore

Why Watching March Madness Just Isn’t That Fun Anymore

Published by Jenni Sidey

I used to regularly skip school on the first two days of March Madness. Those beguiling opening-round days, where it feels like absolutely anything can happen from the first tipoff on Thursday morning to the final buzzer on Friday night, ranked among my favorite forms of hooky. Sure, being anywhere other than chemistry class was a huge part of the appeal, but so too was the chance to watch hours upon hours of uninterrupted basketball. And as a West Coast kid, the first game of the day starting around 9 a.m. also meant the dopamine started flowing early. Maybe it’s because I’m no longer an indulgent teenager, but lately, the NCAA Tournament hasn’t seemed nearly as enticing. I still look forward to filling out a bracket every March—the more uniformed the better. It’s still fun tuning into the final minutes of a game where a university with roughly the same enrollment as my high school tries to slay a giant. But as for waddling up to the college basketball buffet and remaining there all day, …

You can try to hold on to the love you felt at the beginning of your relationship, but you might be ignoring signs you’re not in love with your partner anymore. This can happen even after years of a mostly good marriage. We can fall in love with how someone makes us feel at the beginning, but the real test of a healthy relationship comes in time with issues and healing after hurt. A study has supported that when the relationship kicks in, you see each other’s flaws, and the spark disappears. If you don’t actively address issues and resolve them along the way, the relationship slowly falls apart.

I can’t use Linux as my daily driver anymore

I can’t use Linux as my daily driver anymore

Published by skeptic

This isn’t about Windows being better than Linux, nor is it about Linux being the ultimate. I have used Windows since Windows XP, and I have been through every version up to Windows 11. However, Windows 11 was the first Windows OS that wasn’t my daily driver. I replaced it with Linux Mint, after stints with Ubuntu, Fedora, and a dozen other distributions I can’t recall, including an adventure into Kali Linux. Objectively speaking, the only reason anyone distro-hops is because there is a missing element or some dissatisfaction. It was why I left Windows, but also why I have skipped around a lot within the Linux ecosystem. A daily driver should be a choice of conviction, not a compromise. Linux gave me control, but also responsibility The paradox of infinite choice Afam Onyimadu / MUO The starting point with Linux is selecting a system architecture. This process is more demanding than I’d like to admit, because you’re going through the mental process of designing a computer, starting right from the desktop environment. The common …

You don’t need the terminal to use Linux anymore

You don’t need the terminal to use Linux anymore

Published by skeptic

If you hang around Linux spaces long enough, you start to notice a vibe. The terminal is not just a tool. It is practically a personality trait. Screenshots glow with neon green text. Dotfiles get treated like family heirlooms. And somewhere off to the side, a perfectly normal newcomer is quietly wondering if they just signed up for a lifetime of memorizing spells that look like they were created by a caffeinated octopus. I get the anxiety; I have been using Linux for years. Yes, I can navigate a terminal without breaking into a stress shimmer. But here is the part that doesn’t get said nearly enough: in my actual day-to-day life, the terminal barely makes a cameo. Modern Linux desktops have quietly grown up while nobody was looking. You can now get through most of your week without living inside a black rectangle full-time. If you have been curious about Linux but worried it requires permanent command-line residency, here is what my real week actually looks like. Most of my week happens comfortably in …
