Hahaha, have you met the BBC?
03.11.2025 19:07 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0About three years ago, a friend who owns a record shop gave me a promo album by a local band in Hastings who'd released it on cassette tape only. Still haven't been in an old enough car to listen to it. Even my massive dead electronics pile doesn't feature a Walkman anymore.

03.11.2025 18:09 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Because they lied on their CVs? Why would anyone employ a recruiter or allow someone to do recruitment who can't see through a ChatGPT CV within 10 minutes of an interview? Even if they get the job it'll become super obvious if they don't know what they're doing, bin them off then.

02.11.2025 11:19 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yes, much worse. If someone confronts you with a knife, you give them your phone and get a new one on the insurance. If everyone has pepper spray, you don't get that option, you just get pepper sprayed before you know what's going on. Both ways I get a new phone, one way I also get pepper sprayed. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

02.11.2025 11:05 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0That honestly feels cheap for a head of role at a national charity. Why do these free market fans love the idea of limiting both their recruitment pool and potential user base so much?
02.11.2025 10:55 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I'm not saying it's ok to employ people who lie on their CV, just that people have done that forever, that's why a CV is just something you use to decide who to interview, at which point it should become pretty obvious they've no idea what they're doing ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

01.11.2025 20:33 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0If an employer can't tell that a person is bullshiting during the interview process and they get the job then the job probably wasn't at all technical to start with and it doesn't matter.

Probably because I only played the first three when he was Greek and none of the viking ones.
What an informative thread! Probably worth mentioning that Samhain falls on November 6th this year.

The bird saw her and had time for a couple more pecks at the ground before it nonchalantly flew off. The cat styled it out of course, clearly she wasn't actually trying to catch it
