I went through something similar recently. The only job qualifications I have are education and really old work experience in a technical field. Couldn’t get an interview with anyone. Even Domino’s wouldn’t call me back even though they are hiring for every position.

I just got a job at UPS with no resume or hiring process at all, but it’s definitely not for everyone. Most of the union positions open to the public are part time and difficult hours, plus it’s really physical work. Great benefits, though, and eventually seniority will allow you to get in to bid on much better jobs. Drivers make $70k+ a year, feeder drivers make even more.

If you do try to find a position there, don’t rely on the job alerts thing on their website. Check it every Wednesday. I’ve been signed up for alerts for 6 months and never got an email. Just happened to check it on a Wednesday and got the job offer in like 20 minutes.

The hiring process for all jobs has gotten significantly worse, but the dev hiring process is absolutely insane.

Sorry you’re dealing with it

Can you share some details on this? My curiosity is killing me.

Edit: I guess you did answer this in another comment. I assumed work meant an employer and was wondering how that could possibly be unless you worked at pornhub or something.

Getting a package handler job is super easy. When there’s an opening they post it on their jobs site. You apply, which takes like 15 minutes and then you get an immediate offer and select a day for orientation.

No drug tests unless you’re injured on the job or they suspect on the job drug use.

I’ve heard some stories about being hired but then getting stuck with only on-call hours. Once you’re in the union(after 30 work days), you get the guaranteed hours for your position, though.

Edit: This is for UPS, not usps

“We need affordable housing” says person who opposes having low income housing built in their area

I got a job at UPS. I’m pretty stoked about it. It pays significantly better than any other job I’ve applied to (and been rejected for), plus its union with good benefits. Perfect hours for me, too.

It’s part time, but it’s more than enough to cover all my expenses and I can keep doing gig work part time if I want the extra money.

I found a bug in the Walmart Spark gigwork platform, but I’m too much of a chicken to exploit it.

If a customer cancels an order after you leave the store, the app generates a return trip that makes it so you can’t take another order until you return all the stuff. If they cancel an order while you’re inside the store you can’t leave with the items because you have to show an “exit pass” screen to the receipt checker at the door. But if they cancel while the “exit pass” screen is still on your device, no return is generated, even if you’re outside.

So someone could have a friend or another account(it’s really easy to make fake accounts and pay with gift cards), and place orders for expensive stuff like PS5s, switch, whatever and then have them cancel at the right time.

Free stuff if you’re brave enough

Some asshole thought he’d be white knight for Walmart and accused me of stealing.

I was doing a gig app delivery order and for some reason this prick was just standing in the self checkout area. When you do the orders you scan the items as you go and then go to the self checkouts and scan a barcode, bag the stuff and leave. Pretty standard stuff, even regular customers can do that as a scan&go order.

I hear this dickbag whispering to the woman he’s with while I’m bagging. Then when I start to leave he jumps in my way and goes, “Really?! You’re just gonna steal all that?”. I told him it was already paid for and a delivery order, pushed past him and left.

Why would anyone care that someone else is stealing?

Started reading “Inherent Vice” by Pychon. Great book so far. Excellent characters, fun plot, and it’s really funny.

I have the same thought when people say antidepressants changed their life.

I’m not saying they can’t necessarily, but I’m skeptical because of my own attempts with all manner of antidepressants.

Down with Ethernet

I thought Vermin Supreme was a libertarian free stater, but I guess I was wrong.

In an interview with New Hampshire magazine in 2018, Supreme labeled his political beliefs as “social anarchist” and opined that Peter Kropotkin “was a great anarchist thinker and writer”

He called for ending foreign wars and voiced support for pardoning non-violent drug offenders, ending the war on drugs, and reducing incarceration, which he called his top priority. On the COVID-19 pandemic, Supreme criticized President Donald Trump, arguing that he should have paid better attention to the virus and have made testing more widely available.

His Wikipedia has some pretty funny stuff:

Shortly before the primary, he was observed questioning Republican candidates Chris Christie and Ted Cruz through a bullhorn. Supreme engaged Christie in an informal debate over his free pony platform, during which he accused Christie of hating ponies, and asked Cruz whether he thought that water being used during waterboarding should include fluoride.

He satirically promised to make COVID-19 illegal and, in a play on his campaign promise to go back in time and “kill baby Hitler,” vowed to go back in time and “kill baby COVID.” He facetiously pledged to create “COVID-19 free zones” because “they work so well for things like guns and drugs.”

That’s a great idea. Could make it autonomous by using the phones gps and data connection. Basically a drone rc car

Finally a use case for LLMs.

@grok Say 5 hail mary’s for me

I hate when people don’t put their cart away at the grocery store, but that Cart Narcs guy bothers me for some reason. I can’t quite put my finger on it. It feels explotative I guess.

It also doesn’t seem effective at all. All he’s doing is getting into conflict with people who either shameless about it, or have some actual reason to not return their cart.

My guess is that they wouldn’t use data from a device that doesn’t pass safetynet. I don’t think any emulator does. I guess it would be easy enough to check.

I had an idea to trick a gig app into paying more.

One of the variables Walmart Spark uses to determine pay is how long a trip is estimated to take, using Google Maps data to estimate driving time.

I’ve noticed that on Saturdays Google maps wants to reroute me around a particular section of street in my town, even though it’s by far the fastest route. On Saturdays various groups are allowed to collect donations on the town common, which is on that road.

I realized that is making Google maps think there is heavy traffic, because drivers end up pulling over briefly to give the donations, but they never pick up their phones or leave the car.

My idea is to do that, but along the one road that leads from Walmart into town. I could buy 20 cheap phones and have someone slowly creep back and forth along that road, causing Maps to think it takes 30 minutes each way, thus driving up the pay.

I won’t actually do it because the increased pay wouldn’t offset the cost of 20 phones and service, but it’s a fun idea.
