@WandererUber old dude used AI for his cover letter and my boss was glazing it. told her it was AI and she moved the goalposts to "well he knows how to use AI, that means he is computer savvy!" i told her i could tell because of the emdashes and she was like "oh yeah, only people like me who did a lot of editing work use emdashes." absolute egomaniac. i was going to ask her what the ascii code for it was but i was like whatever.... just drop it —_— bet she doesn't even know what an alt code is.
old guy never got hired btw lol.
@WandererUber you have completely unpacked my boss from a single story lol that's so funny
this is why i had a bit of an existential crisis a little while ago about people not being real.
@WandererUber this is the kind of shit i did when i was a kid and thought that it made me cool. seeing grown ass adults do it is just weird to me man.
I try to make my peace with it
sometimes they are just not real because they are sleep deprived / medicated and on autopilot and could possibly put effort into a conversation / thinking under different circumstances. But whether or not a constant or a variable 80% of people at any given time are not "being real" doesn't really matter for the phenomenon.
It happens to everyone at some point that they're just saying shit, but if you're halfway reasonable you try to catch yourself or even simpler just stfu instead of talking nonsense
