Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Alas I'm middle aged and have only friends here but I did throw something in the jar😁 110
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yes I know 🤪 your ongoing date profile woes are depressing but they do make me feel better about myself. I'm married, though. 100
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Like 9 years ago I had an interview where the recruiter just would not stop asking, even after I replied that if he had concerns he could tell me their budget for the position. That job didn't happen but it didn't stop other recruiters from calling, and they were more prepared to deal. 100
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Depends on the job or field, I think. Granted I'm in America. But having done many job interviews I can say strongly that as my skills grew from job to career that question went from obligatory to sketchy and obnoxious. 100
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Fwiw though especially earlier in my career every time they asked what my last salary was it was to lowball me and pay less than they were actually prepared to pay. So even if this article doesn't help you, I'm sure it helps other people who may not have your confidence or knowledge. 100
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Or, they come when our illustrious host big billy here figures out where he wants the story to go😁 000
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Years ago I read a story where some alien that could see a wider bit of the electromagnetic spectrum said how they were jealous of human hearing because we could make sense of different notes and hear music. Human vision and hearing are actually pretty good. Maybe we'd be famous for unique Art? 000
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I've been hung up on the simple idea of ascribing true independent agency and desire to LLMs. It's a lotta math on a lotta data! It doesn't "want" anything! Stop anthropomorphizing it! 010
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Fun fact: the DC trolley museum in silver spring md has chunks of Safety Last playing on loop because it has Baltimore streetcars rolling back and forth in the background. 000
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I want it to go to Tyson's, I remember some sketches where it crossed the Potomac and came to nova 000
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I love Suetonius's bitchy, dishy tone. Even if he did fabricate half of it or just write down a bunch of gossip, imo the results were worth it 000
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Maybe it's just cause I grew up episcopal but they have the best hymnal too, so nice music. 020
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I forget where I read it, maybe the liner notes, but iirc the recording process for the Soundtrack was really tricky too, with her overdubbing/recording the synth bits completely separate from the orchestra bits 000
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Hey nice to see you back and posting again. Also saw someone else pointing out that this might not have been the fault of Trump or his cronies, something about the beds being shallow, making it hard for trees to grow. So that would make you double right 010
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 30/08/2026If someone gets worked up about a secret government zombie virus I like to remind them that we already have a zombie virus 0130
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Fun. Mine shows some of the upsides(?) of growing up in nd I suppose 010
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 20/08/2026And this is how bank of America decided they need to change their ticker symbol 010
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I mean that's kinda what happened with casa Bonita in Denver, right? Patronage can make good art. 000
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Ah the dark souls "no seriously you don't know exactly when the attack will come because we added 3 steps of fakeouts and two attacks that look similar but have completely different finishes" thing 000
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Oh man you didn't even get to the undead pirate lass who wants to feel something so badly she gets a special creature implanted that makes her a nymphomaniac. Which is also very funny. 070
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 26/07/2026They taught them a little dance and then performed it at graduation. It was the cutest thing. 040
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Pretty sure I know the tune you used too. My daughter did the same thing in preschool with this A Douglas fir A Douglas fir A tiny little mushroom and a Douglas fir (Repeat) A sword fern A sword fern A tiny little mushroom and a Douglas fir (Repeat) 2130
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Doesn't help much but I care. Makes me mad too, although it's not as personal. 000
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Dude this drives me crazy. I grew up in North Dakota. I don't live there any more. I'm a professor's kid from a surprisingly hip college town. My home town had meth heads, pickups and lots of proud farmers, but also clubs and gay people. It's one country, dammit. 010
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I kinda love it but as a dc resident I sure hope you're wrong 020
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 29/06/2026My family's from northern Vermont around Burlington, which, even though it's usually counted with New England, has a very different vibe from the coastal parts. 110
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Thank you! Good luck getting to wherever you want to be in the end😁 110
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 29/06/2026In case it wasn't clear I sent them some money to read more nice takes on Boston😁 bsky.app/profile/thef... 010
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Done. You're welcome to keep bitching about the ne after this blows over🤪 000
Jon T @theflyroper.bsky.social · 18/06/2026@techconnectify.bsky.social hey Ellie spectacular made a ytp of you youtu.be/eZchOopvunQ?... I think it's pretty funny.youtu.be{YTP} ~ Teck ConneckYouTube video by DaThings 000
