Jobs - ah my fortune for you...
(see picture). I see that you were overqualified,,, hmm yes,,, and they just picked you out of the line 'just by coincidence' hmmm.
My dear they fast-tracked you to something they needed more for themselves...
(globe lights up via foot pedal underneath)
Not completely my place to speculate "all is not clear in this old ball" and "destiny can change in the blink of a bats eye that lives in the corner of this room" but from that conversation I get the indication that you were overqualified and they just picked you out of the line.
They fast-tracked you a bit to something they needed more for themselves...
The quick call kind of confirms that and skips all that other shit for the more questionable types or less heavy hitters!
It's a compliment from them and some Tetris on their part to get what they want.
Also perhaps a little lie there about "promised this position to someone else" which of course they might not want to tell you the exact internal details of, preferring to say a white- but if this isn't true it (maybe they still have plenty of people to go through and assume it will happen) - I just wanted to say about their honesty or even misrepresentation is possible which in the actual work and practice could be important to you and others know really what's going on during work not what they skip or present differently... like if they are going to say something else etc.
Many would lie instead of saying "We didn't want you for that crappy job and we prefer you go for that since you hit harder there and we will give that other job to plenty of lemmings for that". They kind of also managed your out of applying too for that job!!
:) Manipulation what a game!
I would negotiate higher pay if what I say seems obvious.... and taking your time to 'sleep on it' to read new job spec / contract because they might assume you will go for anything or slip 100 things in for the same pay level (anything to save a buck even if they have it).
So give offers a bit of time and straight away tell them that you think it's worth a few thousand more just like pricing a care compared to the other car (job) if you know they are pulling a fast one and say a few thousand or whatever to get a ballpark game going... and frankly a bit of respect if it's disappointing
and then "let the dust settle or the offer sit", sleep on it etc... however you want to say it
Then let me know how it goes dear...
*small cough*
(don't forget to pay the fortune teller!)
....
I do feel a bit like a fortune teller saying that... but more obviously their job is to manage the right people in right place and well you got picked and were probably over qualified. And you passed the sanity test via call so are on your way...
Now pay the little lady with the crystal ball :)
And don't forget what she said!
Ask for more and even say your fortune-teller told you to hold out ! (They'll like that)...

Teeth Care Tip - Submerge / wash yoru teeth in same toothpaste you use to brush and protect teeth / prevent caveties...
Purely my thing based on having healthy teeth doing this all my life...
Normal brushing then mouthwash with that toothpaste after. This submerges teeth / washes your teeth and get to the places even flossing can't get (many more bits come out after 5 / mins of sitting in front of screen with mouth washing going on!)
If toothpaste protects teeth somewhat, penetrates somewhat and gets to hard to reach areas... BINGO - DON'T SPIT OUT... PLAY WITH IT A BIT MORE!
(what you have used after brushing do not spit out)
I think this beat flossing and those plastic things because eventually submerging, pushing with big pressure in cheeks is a delightful car wash for teeth... one day I'll add a picture but for now just letting a secret out there - call it dental hygiene or preservation :)
And don't ask what my record is for holding it I've broken in many times past the 10min mark! And doing it now while writing this :)
Yup not just a preacher. (hmm wonder if there is a teeth cleaning emoji !!)
I'll be honest I went full circle on this word "advertising"...
@freddy
Much like any word (and without confusing it with really the bad sides of it) advertising can also be a useful and innocent self-interest shared with others.
Zooming out a bit all this and other tools have roots quite rightly work in how they work and stay around for good sub-reasons (not just monopoly etc)... people want to be told, suggested, algorithm, have work done for them, stats tracked (for own purposes like Mastodon in future I hope like mini-blogging did with safe plugins) and generally be in an eco-system of 'oh yeah yeah me too, project oh yeah me too, ok choices shit this is great'.... however we are the one's shunning even the word and not doing out own version of it properly...
so if you don't want this type of advertising... what is there on the free software or in terms of jobs or even small things people can do that achieves similar things.... and I do believe we want for it and if it existed for the those opposite the dark side I'm sure people wouldn't reject it / could have it switchable to on or off.
But now 0 or very little compared to the bad type of advertising or even just own thing... and really as a mass learning we just need to take EXACTLY the same processes and existing things and simply emulate it (like Ubuntu instead of Windows, or reflashing anything,.... yes bad... but then good, strip it, patch it etc).
I think this would be better than complaining (not you but just as focus,, making the doing our own thing the 'thing)...
again I came full circle to realising 'yeah they are bad' but 'man are we shit, really shit' so let's not focus on them too hard but their practices AND THEN HACK THE SHIT OUT OF IT... really copy the dynamic so at least people are watching OSS education, feeding, listening to free software and back again until they puck... else it's just hollywood FTW stealing our time, eyes and ears...
Our own internal advertising even if it's lists. logos or banners on a screen, whatever, bring a webring back if you much! (choose your level I hope haven't offended in mentioning)... just we're pretty crap in our imagination and starving ourselves being good, and I don't men money I mean real contact and friendship while we get shafted in other ways... really we just COPY and humans do best and excel in that.
I got more to say and think I can do it with just the will power of a few... (audio chat welcome to get out of text-only machine comms)
but really we need detest things so much we don't use half those tools any more or even humans to get the fun and job done more warmly and not need to look over to the over side constantly to blame the other side... we also leave it to them and expect what, something open source lol? Let them be, make your own thing.
Well I'm on this so we can only but increment it - lots of way and plenty for complainers to enjoy in revenge!
@kreyren
Renting sometimes saves the hassle of owning. Owning is not great either. You still have to pay groundrent or whatever (like a house to state for the same ground!). So owning isn't everything.
In this case renting or owning can be both unwanted. That's the problem of these logics you start playing off one against the other, mix a bit weaponry and voila, you lost track, thinking about how much thigns buy you... this economy priced against another less economy, losing the whole point and focus initially into guess what... money again. Sort of worse than having less...
Something that loses value, devalues for all, is methmatical debt / negatives and virtual layers of economics - a real wasteful heatloss of a material that State swallows up gladly fom sweat pourned in and % it takes.
Tangential but mention rent or paying for things will involve all this mentality and traps (a war to start with that will find peace sooner once THAT is sorted sooner!). I understand though people don't want peace when they rule with money by default despite any typical arguments for it or what is siphons and extracts from humanity infinitely.
@astromecanik
So far your frequency is shining as a strong point (nevermind it's in other things than I'm dealing with now but it all come around again for things in the mind)
I have to ever make a point to 'downvote' games anything other than a small break or tactical reset for brain - addictions mostly which I consider part of life but towards rebuilding and reconstructing life is what I see as better and really honestly I think it's being sucked in if honest with one's self + the army games much as I can appreciate a tank. Enough of that (without politically loading it, just every other game is about that).
So just saying... and welcome you're other 50% or relating to my pages :D Again not looking to even watch more youtube, install more this, that and the other we gotta get out of the all-you-can-eat loops and create our own world a bit more... hope I've said it politely and usually there is a bit of self-interest (such as using your time and frequency in posting) but in general I know people cut it cold one day and realised what they hell was I doing or really add up the amount of times it might leave us in not so good mood / empty at switch off.....
List more things, sub-categories in your profile if you can. Thanks
@amerika
Maybe like mycelium, taking over in a nice way or it's being part of everything...
@kreyren Hmm does make better sense... still I'm in subset of seeing it destroying things, but can understand than while somewhat endlessly taking things down still seems stalemate or defensive at the expensive of expensive everything resources just to make and maintain those things...
But I'm sure and willing somewhat to see / understand how tech-ing up or defensive-offensive weapons eventually gets use to peace...
Right now still perhaps very much less of these tech things I'm in favour of else peace becomes a catch-22 (impossible to pursue because everyone is busy making and spending on weapons and than tempted to use them instead of using brains to find a way out of this somewhat vicious cycle)... Again that's if top echelon of people want peace and to equalise their own power eventually... which I see nobody would be to quick to do and I don't have any solutions myself... not yet!
@bonifartius
That's the thing about being good; it's not always about expecting people to do the before and after or what they should have done... (of course it helps) -
it's about looking past that...
...more about the 'at least' this and 'at least' that is happening in the now and as the overall win if really it's not too draining of resources and avoids the googlismus :)
Even if we take a bit of the hit for them in resources it's a win for them not to go elsewhere and a win for humanity every day they use this and not that, And meanwhile they practice a bit of free software etc :)
Have to be giving bonifartius knowing also we're all losing anyway... can't not give it :) and can't expect even mostly 'optimals' or ideals happening. It's just like humbly taking whatever we can get knowing it all adds up...
I don't think it would work feeling bad about the timings of people jumping in late or for wrong reasons (ok mabye a bit) but not holding it too much against them because we too also realised about a software way too late or something else... and it's best to forget about it and keep moving on to reduce that other stuff...
We too didn't see the importance of something until it was too late almost in this or other things.
Humans are like and mostly about when 'push comes to shove' - this is just life and almost can't scold people for that.
Thanks for the tips in sidenotes. I'll post about this soon. This was already long enough I hear you :)
@s8n @LittleTimmy
Ok. Surprisingly good there. If you think of things around this feel free to remember me... (both of you)
Calling #Mastodon !! A Suggestion... A "show more" button withOUT CW status... just to make my posts shorter !!...
A "show more" button withOUT CW status... just to make my posts shorter / presentable !!
(well it's probably just my posts but anyone writing long on QOTO! And if we're going to be upgrading the mind thing then we need it or to encourage a bit of structure). Something to give me and others option to show / hide WITHOUT everyone thinking it's content warning and seen as bad'' on other instances (I just realised all my post pictures are obscured because of CW which I was using for the show more button!!) <--- lol me, slaps face
Summary: So a button like CW to show more or less (really similar to what CW is now but not a content warning!) slaps face again
Hope that delete and re-draft works!
I gotta start posting all my stuff again without CW sorry guys only realised when during a podcast someone said they can't see any of my pictures :) ... and I was like wait, what? :p
@s8n @LittleTimmy
wow that's well said..
(and original point is good too if there is a way or at least to think about it)
@freemo thank you
All over the political map, people have been calling Forrest their own. But, Forrest Gump isn't about politics or conservative values. It's about humanity, it's about respect, tolerance and unconditional love.
—producer Steve Tisch
Humanity goes to save something by going to damage others...
...but also I'm not saying it's always possible to be perfect (well maybe I think it is possible lol... but everyone has to melt all that mettle back down and focus on feeding on each other!)
...so anyway building war machines seems to me as something encouraging the brain a bit less and maybe real peace is and never was on the table...
In my naive mode I think people at the top might want peace and don't mind equalising power... but then I realise no it's pretending again and they simply don't have the skills and inside this mentality already hard to get out apart from some kind of 'love' reset!
Yeah call me any names but how else to get out of building more and more weapons, and then pretending to be peace within Europe while doing economical war (all the same!)
I think we have to 'hit' people back with more than tanks, planes, laws, restrictions, land and food monopoly, etc.... it's going to need a shit ton of love and tactical brains to avoid bastards and even absorb them somehow...
and then if something extra-terrestrial / god-like wanted to do the rest clean this planet of us I wouldn't say no!
@josipretrobits
Ah yeah right less thick / more permeable perhaps.
And do remember that cleaning increases chances of these things or even over doing it easy (you probably know but I'm being protective of what can break in 5mins cleaning and otherwise would last lifetimes as 'dirty' or off white!)... this including breakage or 'wear and tear' while cleaning (atoms getting thinner),,.
but looks like you got away clean hehe :)
@bonifartius
Think there are some thing your fighting for there that are worthy but again if people understood what it is and didn't have to do it inevitably backwards (joining this that and learning in general) then I think it's a bit much to ask a company considering just for a person it was / is hard enough just to get head around it (not just money or paying someone else, it's still 10years to understand how instances are like email providers but unlike them in many ways)
Usually this kind of response is from seeing something else being abused or not done right, protective etc... so if I can ask as it's interesting "Why do you care about that?" and what context... any specific contexts?
Mostly (if it's in general you're mentioning) then it's a good thing for anyone not to be mined even the other bastard companies... just to reduce things down as overall win in a constant way.
@tripu
- And create your own ideal reality too and keep circling it like a hunter!
@josipretrobits Still pretty good!
And don't worry it will go cream again I think :)
What went wrong or could be better in your eyes?
When you have someone typing faster back in response lots of time, THEN do you realise why others can get uncomfortable with your own speeds of response! :D
So just saying I'm fast - and don't worry if you're 'slow' or just your own speed... BUT do get faster and be able to do both fast and slow! It's like a drug when making life somewhat (currently between any physical action I think thoughts in the mind are mostly what's needed to develop since what's physically happening is getting rather meaningle$$)
Fortunately it doesn't happen a lot and I realise sending messages (which when you are busy is harder and feels like being asked for attention' on top of everything else) but it is like gold dust in this realm so I don't often ask anyone to really stop or slow down!
" Oh no please stop sending messages about what you love to do and how you want to see more of it"
...lol!
Play your music and keep running/typing in whatever you're progressing!
Go go go Forrest!
It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
