I’ve been getting a lot of these. It was obviously low effort on LinkedIn’s part, so I’ve been giving the same amount of effort by using chatGPT to write my contributions. Garbage in, garbage out.
Anyone remember before LinkedIn when there was a law that people didn’t have to disclose their race on a job application, and how 90% of people ignored that protection and decided to post up their headshot on linked in anyway?
I think you may have slightly misunderstood that law… it says you must not discriminate based on race, not that you should never disclose your race anywhere. I mean, they’re gonna see you eventually when you interview anyway.
There’s something to be said about omitting unnecessary details from a job application, to prevent out-of-hand dismissal. But if bias exists it will manifest eventually anyway. If the HR department or management scours the internet for personal details as an excuse to reject someone they’ve already crossed a line, and a candidate somehow cunning their way into an interview won’t change their bias.
Yes, but scoring the internet for negative properties is much more effort than looking at a picture the applicant has attached. Do they really have that much time (and the will) to basically background check every single applicant?
I’d like a beer that doesn’t taste bitter to me. I know this is probably me because I am very sensitive to bitter tastes (I can even taste the light bitterness of artificial sweeteners in drinks). But I’d love to experience an alcoholic beverage for once without the bitter taste.
I don’t think alcohol tastes bitter, if you drink straight vodka it doesn’t taste like much of anything it just burns going down. I think alcohol makes drinks more bitter owing to the fact that it’s a pretty good solvent that can extract bitter compounds from the drink’s other ingredients so you taste them more easily.
Also a lot of beer is flavored with hops (tho most beers don’t include as much of them as your typical IPA) which is typically bitter. I’ve had tea and sparkling water that were non-alcoholic but had hops as a flavoring component and they were unpleasantly bitter to me.
sour beers in my experience tend to be less bitter.
modelo especial with lime juice is about my favorite non-craft beer. usually i tend to favor less-bitter beerd myself such as witbiers, kolsch, or hefeweisens. there are some IPA’s I like and will drink but I find that most of the ones I prefer tend to be on the less-bitter side for an IPA (which means they’re still bitter-er than most non-IPA beers).
Not surprising. LinkedIn have always been scummy, going back to when they first started and they’d convince people to give them their email accounts and passwords so they could send emails to all their contacts to get them to join. They’re also one of only 2 companies that at one point sold my unique email address to spam immediately after joining.
Adult Friend Finder lol. Like, I kind of expected it with that company, but not so much LinkedIn.
The jury’s out on exactly what happened. Maybe it was cyber crime, and someone had managed to infect a handful of websites, or maybe it was some underhanded commercial venture that certain places signed up to. I just know that my email address was only ever used on that website - the address didn’t even technically exist either, I own a domain and make up emails on the fly, which filter through to my actual accounts. I’ve been doing this for years, and actually very few places compromised my email - which is why LinkedIn and AFF stand out so much.
Incidentally, I later created a new account with LinkedIn with a new email and didn’t have this issue. However, I do still get occassional spam - and spam that is related to my career - so apparently there is still some way people can get LinkedIn email addresses.
I get spam to my work account saying that they got my information from LinkedIn. The e-mail I use on linkedin is a spam collection account that I never use for anything real. I check it every couple of months and delete the entire inbox.
The only place they could get my contact information is one of my suppliers has a shitty webpage design with my info listed. Easy for a bot to scrape and sell.
My current theory is that the professional “sales list” data collection companies are running scraped data against Linkedin data and claiming it came from there.
I get e-mails from from companies who want to sell “sales lead” lists to me as well as a few poorly targeted fools who bought the “sales lead” list from them.
Do you still remember when LI would ask you to give access to your address book and then proceed to spam all your friends? This level of scummy behavior is nothing new.
