My high school paid for everyone to take some type of career aptitude test. Everyone got a list of various possible career choices. Burned in my memory now is that I scored "region 99" which apparently meant my personality type didn't fit any jobs. Or something. Like their magic 8 ball told me to try again.

[–] Schal330@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago (5 children)

My school did something similar. It recommended I become a fish monger.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Haha, did you ever try it out? Maybe it really was your life long calling.

[–] Schal330@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I didn't, but should I ever feel the need to try it I have already watched the tutorial video.

I'm supposed to be a bartender, which i guess sounds better than what i actually do.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

I've become a computer tender.

A friend of mine got the recommendation to be a pedicurist. Not a manicurist, not some general aesthetician, nope. Test wanted him to work with feet so badly ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I think I finally found what I was put on this earth to do: Knife goes in guts come out.

Same story here. I didn’t pay attention and failed basic math. Suggestion: plumber.

Got that on Programmer Humor last year! Finding that kind of unintentional message is always funny

[–] Birch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

There ought to be a sub for that.

And no I'm not gonna be the change I want to see in the world, for the benefit of everyone involved.

Sigh! I should have known.

Gender: 1x38b

THE WOKE MOB HAS GONE TOO FAR

[–] gex@lemmy.world 69 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Gender is not binary, it's hexadecimal

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

shouldn't hexadecimal numbers start with 0x instead of 1x?

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 41 points 6 days ago

Did you just assume their syntax?!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 29 points 6 days ago

You want some 8x7A2 using the same bathroom as you???

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I know right, this is gender we're talking about naming here! Not one of Elon's children

[–] Yoga@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was going to make that joke too but given the real victim of the punchline is someone who had no ability to consent or exercise control in the situation it doesn't feel right.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

I know, but he has $200b in assets, so it's hard to feel too bad for him

[–] Yoga@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I was referring to the child.

Children don't get to pick their name or their parents.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Once again, I jest.

I dont feel bad for rich kids they have entrely different realities, they grow up to be shitty adults, it doesnt matter that they are kids now, their future is set in stone, i swear billionaires dropped hella propoganda movies to get ppl to feel bad for their kids and expect them to grow up to be good ppl that change the world for the better if the public likes them, like that ever happens.

Like this kid wont be going to jail ever, no matter what they do, no punishment ever, yall could say thats a bad thing all you want but they experience heaven on earth for the only life we get, fk em, they get way more than they deserve since birth.

I would not have a good home or life in a meritocracy because im dumbaf, but id 100% rather have that where ppl earn there way and mfs that actually contribute to society are rewarded over this shit where we got modern royalty, all the power, none of the consequences, no visibilty, no responsibility.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Now around $400b. Which is a lot more than 1x38b.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

The problem is that the amount is probably wrong by the time I finish writing the sentence. The only solution is to burn Tesla dealerships at a fast enough rate to cause a profit/loss equilibrium so we can report it correctly.

Damn, with solutions like these maybe I should just go work for DOGE

Your source does not support your claim at all. Seems like you are projecting your scientific illiteracy onto Jung.

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 45 points 1 week ago

I mean, they're not wrong, but it does hurt a bit.

[–] uservoid1@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Can I have an exception?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Why do you have to personally attack me like that?
