Just finished a personality survey for a job I'm applying for. Here are some of the questions that really made me think... (No option for saying 'no' on the last one, lul.)

Multiple choice question with too many options for answering.Multiple choice question with a wild prompt.No option for saying no for this multiple choice question.

Hey #datascience, I'm looking for a job. If y'all have any connections, help a brother out. I'm a recent master's grad for data science and was formerly a math and computer science teacher at the highschool level. Also, I came across this as the UI for a job. Please don't use yellow on white.

Questions for a job application. They read:
Are you legally authorized to work in the United States? [Yes][No], the [Yes] has been selected and highlighted with an awful contrasting yellow.

Will you now or in the future require visa sponsorship to work in the United States? [Yes][No], the No is highlighted, again with the awful contrasting yellow.

Was looking just a little bit in case I should win the lottery at EV cars. I used to have lofty ideas of having sleek exteriors and great range. Unfortunately, nowadays I only have one major requirement going forward. I would consider getting the first two, loose maybe on 3rd, not on the fourth.

@humblebundle.com This UI seems ingenuous. On another note, I've seen many sites also implement a slider that give an option to input the numbers directly. Why hasn't HumbleBundle done this as well? Or at least have presets like you did on previous iterations.

1. Paizo
2. Craft Emergency Relief Fund
3. Humble
Notably, the sliders are unequal, even though the valuations for two of the entities are the same.

2 days ago I got to present to the San Francisco public library's librarians. I spoke about the process for playing TTRPGs, learning new ones and bringing them to library tables for many to enjoy. Also pointed out some of the ways TTRPGs help build many soft skills to enrich ourselves.

FINALLY! So excited this came out. Now I can /really/ make a knight (or a squire 🥲.) So grateful for discovering @glasscannonnetwork.bsky.social streaming this a year ago and to be able to use the code 'PENCANNON3' to get me a shweet discount. Give them a watch youtube.com/playlist?lis... ❤️

*sigh* Sucks applying for government jobs right now. I'm trying to apply to jobs in general, but having these questions be thrown at me makes me stop the application halfway through 🙃

Screenshot from a job application:
How has your commitment to the Constitution and the founding principles of the United States inspired you to pursue this role within the Federal government? Provide a concrete example from professional, academic, or personal experience.How would you help advance the President's Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.

Local theater is running a musical called 'Jagged Little Pill' that's a jukebox musical based off Alanis Morisette songs. It was a very good production and the musical itself touches on a lot of heavy hitting topics, like sexual assault, drug abuse, racism, and queer-phobia. Watch it if you can!
