Yes, the enslaved animals who are inconsistently fed and ignored. All those dogs forced to live in apartments without any interaction the entire day while their slavers slave away as slaves themselves.
Just because a few people out there genuinely care and treat their pets correctly does not mean the rest are. This is why PETA exists.
Obviously you have some extremely thick rose colored glasses on.
Try heading down to a local Service Canada centre or a provincial employment hub. If there isn’t one in your town, just give them a shout on the phone. These places are there to help you out, I happen to work at a place like that myself.
You might also want to think about leveling up your education. These days, a general Bachelor’s degree can be tough to market on its own, especially in a field like psychology where you almost always need a Master’s or a PhD to actually practice.
Get out there and volunteer or just start chatting with people. Tell everyone you meet what you’re passionate about and that you’re looking for work. You never know who is hiring until you ask.
When it comes to your resume, get a second pair of eyes on it. Ideally someone who knows the industry. If your experience is a bit thin, stick to a one-page functional resume that highlights what you can do rather than just where you’ve been.
When you’re applying through online portals, use an AI tool to cross-reference the job posting and find the specific keywords or “buzzwords” that will help you get past the automated filters.
Don’t underestimate the skills you already have, either. If you’ve got retail experience and a degree, you’ve actually got a great foundation for a pivot into something like marketing.
For the interview, it’s all about the vibe and selling yourself. Practice talking about your wins with confidence and make sure you have solid, real world examples ready for their questions. Always have two or three good questions ready for them at the end so you look engaged.
Do your research before the interview. You should know as much as you can about them before talking (particularly if they have a mission statement).
Every job market is different. I live in a small town, but because it is a tourist hub it is more like a small city. Most jobs here are word of mouth and shaking the right hand, but a lot of the tourist jobs with the bigger shops are more corporate so you need to apply online.
Most importantly, don’t let this process get you down. Keep yourself moving, stay active, and do things that make you happy. If you’re not working right now, use that time to sharpen a skill or just better yourself in some way. It doesn’t really matter as long as you’re moving forward.
Also, keep in mind that if you’re dealing with any health issues or disabilities, there are specific Canadian programs and vocational rehab services designed to help folks find the right fit and get back into the workforce.
I think it is important to dispell the belief that intimacy fades with time. There are circumstances that no one can control like I experienced, but for the most part there is no reason other than choice for intimacy to go away over the years.
Oh yeah, I totally get that. It is obvious that RFK has brain damage which affects his ability to think clearly. This is specific to him doing hard drugs for decades.
Also, just because you wouldn’t make a good leader because of damage you did to your mind does not change that you should be treated with dignity and care.
Drugs have consequences whether you accept it or not.
He spent his entire life literally destroying his mind. Is he bad because he is an addict? Perhaps not, but he has significant brain damaged because of the drugs.
I am all for recovery but the truth is he will never have the mental faculties to be a leader because of his life choices. He will never be able to make a full recovery. That is not discrimination, that is just reality.
The War on Drugs is an ongoing genocide. We lose the equivalent amount of life to a war every year because of gun violence. Things are way worse than people realize.
Corporations became the dominate force in our culture and in every culture around the world. 90% + of all policy in the whole world is written by corporations. There isn’t a country that exist without widening income inequality.
It would be great if this was just an American problem. It isn’t. The wealthy will use their favorite proxy the corporation to run humanity into the ground. They have already poisoned the entire planet time and time again. They are the biggest threat humanity has ever seen.
They make the Nazi look wholesome. Remember it was IBM that developed the numbering system for Jews and also helped figure out how many Jews needed to be cleared out of the Ghetto daily for the final solution. Likewise MS, Google, Meta, etc. have been giving material support to genocide.
“Americans will finally have first hand experience of real war torn violence”
Someone missed the War on Drugs which is just another genocide. Also millions of Americans live under the threat of gun death everyday. Have you ever ducked when you hear a gun shot? This is the reality for many urban citizens.
We lose the equivalent of a ongoing war 40-60k gun deaths every year and have so for the last several decades to gun death.
“Over 1.5 million gun deaths occurred in the U.S. between 1968 and 2017, exceeding combined American military deaths in all wars (Revolutionary, Civil, World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, etc.).”
Our government is the most evil collaboration of wealthy people the world has ever scene. They have their hands in everything and control the majority of the world.
We have always been at war with ourselves. I have lost multiple people in my life to gun violence. I know many people’s lives ruined by the war on drugs. We have destroyed tens of millions of families and show no interest in slowing down.
We lock up a disproportional amount of people in the US accounting for 20% of the world’s prison population but only 4% of the world’s population.
We were cooked frogs a long time ago.
The most violent civilization known to man needs more violence to solve its problems.
I didn’t down vote you, and I wouldn’t take it personally.
I was just offering the typical anecdotal experience challenging misconception. This is probably worth less then good research.
This is bullshit honestly. I have been married for almost 30 years. For 27 years we had sex pretty much everyday. Then my wife had to get her ladybits rearranged by a doctor due to a bladder prolapse and went through early menopause.
We still have regular sex, but not everyday anymore.
Jack-booted thug says what?
Whatever the oppressor needs to tells us to buy more guns. I don’t make it a habit to listen to jack-booted thugs.
And you know you are the oppressor.
Yep, and you are wearing them.
I am sure all the people dead from the proliferation of guns to satisfy corporate profits appreciate your advocacy for more death.
Wow, that is a long way to say 2nd amendment nutters support ICE.
Guns have always been the problem and have never been the solution.
I like this, since their country can’t seem to prosecute them it is up to other countries!
Can we start kidnapping every criminal leader and putting them on trial? Also, can we do previous leaders as well. There should be a cell ready for every previous POTUS.
Fucking gross child rapist shit.
