Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
Keep it clean and SFW
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Refused unemployment insurance because my state requires you to register with a 3rd party id checker, id.me. For my state they required a full scans of my face and fingerprints....no way I was giving biometric data to a private company for 200 a week.

I got a few headhunters and I let them find me positions. Since programming, networking, and security are always in demand, it wasn't too long. Although I was on bread and peanut butter for the last few days
