Why do they need to work, though? If AI can replace so many people that there aren't jobs for them all, wouldn't that also mean AI is producing enough to sustain those people, jobs or not? At that point, why must society continue to expect everyone to support themselves if society's developments as a whole make that unnecessary?

OP's question seemingly indicated that they felt someone who couldn't earn money was immediately a net negative to society. I don't believe that's true now (stay at home parents are a good, but far from only, example), and I can't see me believing it's any more true in a future where AI can replace large segments of the workforce.

Ignoring the odd idea that this hypothetical person is somehow completely unemployable regardless of industry or upskilling, why do you assume that that immediately makes them a negative to society? Is a person's entire value predicated on their ability to earn money?

Any recommended brands/models for the pillow? I've never heard of such a thing, but it sounds incredible.

I use a similar question: "What do you like best about working here?" I then follow up that conversation with a second question: "We all know every place has something they could improve on. If you could change one thing about working here, what would it be?"

I've gotten some very interesting answers to that second question. And because it's not phrased as a complete negative - "what would you change" vs. the more common "what do you dislike" - it doesn't put people on the defensive.

A second opinion on your resume certainly couldn't hurt. If money's a concern, I think there's a community on Reddit that allows you to submit your resume for review? Tread with caution, of course, but it could be worth a shot. Or I've seen people on LinkedIn or various job sites that help give back to their respective communities by providing resume feedback - I'd probably look for people in HR or who work as hiring managers.

That sucks about your business, but I think being honest about it is your best bet if/when it comes up. Businesses fail for a variety of reasons, plenty of which won't necessarily reflect poorly on you. And if the gap is the last five years, well, there's definitely been enough going on in that timeframe that you won't be the only one with an employment gap.

Applying for jobs can often be a numbers game, but if you're not reaching the interview stage at all you may want to have someone review your resume for you. It might be that you're not highlighting your skills and experience in a way that the systems will pick up on - every industry seems to have it's own buzzwords - or you might also have a resume format that the ATS can't parse correctly.

I've been using Summit lately and like it so far; the dev is responsive and there are quite a few customization options.

I previously used Sync (now abandoned), Jerboa, and Connect as well. Jerboa didn't seem quite so customizable, but it was a nice and simple UI.

I haven't tried Boost, but I swapped over to Summit and have been pleased with the experience. The thing I liked most about Sync was the amount of customization; Summit fills that space quite well.

Maybe Valheim? You could turn the settings to peaceful mode if you don't want to deal with combat quite yet - although combat at the beginning isn't super in-depth - but it doesn't have a ton of buttons and the start of the game is a lot of basic "walk around and find things to interact with."

I'm a checklist person, and the free version of ClickUp gives me what I'm after: task status, due date, priority, etc. I've also used Notion and Trello in the past, and they were both fine for their respective purposes (knowledge management and kanban boards, respectively).

As for email, anything that comes in gets left unread in my inbox until it's dealt with, whether that's a reply, an action, or whatever. Once it's dealt with, it gets filed into a folder based on topic (Outlook search isn't super helpful, so the topic breakdown helps).

Yes, people pay $20 to buy a WoW token from the cash shop which then gets sold on the in game auction house. That person gets in game gold (the amount fluctuates), and the person who bought the token from the auction house gets their choice of either $15 of shop balance or 30 days of game time.

 

For any transmog collectors who also have Amazon Prime, there’s a new Prime Gaming reward available through December 26 for the Tabard of Fury that was formerly available as a TCG item.

 

We get a mount this time! If you have Amazon Prime, there’s a new Prime Gaming reward available through November 28 for the Armored Bloodwing mount that was formerly available as a cash shop purchase but was removed from the store several years ago.

The URL for the news article on Blizzard's site is broken at the moment, but Wowhead has the details and I can confirm that the mount can be claimed on Prime Gaming and shows up in-game.

 

The in-game micro holiday is inspired by a charity event hosted every October on Scarlet Crusade-US. People make level 1 gnomes to run from New Tinkertown to Booty Bay, and the funds raised go to support the development of a breast cancer vaccine.

If you've never joined the event, I recommend it! It's always great fun to watch a herd of gnomes dodge murlocs and tigers on their way down to Booty Bay.

 

They may not be the first animal you'd expect to find in this community, but the rubber ducky isopods in SerpaDesign's new video definitely made me say "awww."

 

Pet collectors, we get a new (old) pet! If you have Amazon Prime, there’s a new Prime Gaming reward available through October 24 for the Zipao Tiger pet that was formerly available as a Recruit-a-Friend reward.

 

There's a new pirate themed highland drake customization available only during Pirates' Day from Dread Captain DeMeza in Booty Bay for 50k gold. There's nothing to suggest that this won't appear during the holiday next year as well, but the event only lasts for one day.

 

For any transmog collectors who also have Amazon Prime, there’s a new Prime Gaming reward available through September 28 for the Tabard of Brilliance that was formerly available as a TCG item.

Is there a setting that will allow me to view upvotes and downvotes as separate numbers rather than one combined score? This is the one setting in Jerboa that I can't seem to find in Sync. Jerboa:

For any WoW pet collectors who also have Amazon Prime, there's a new Prime Gaming reward for the silver pig pet that was formerly available as part of the Recruit a Friend program. The promotion runs through August 24, and if you're also a Diablo 4 player there's another promotion ending next week for the Brackish Fetch mount armor.
