i had a bit of an anxiety attack today because an interviewer thought it'd be cheeky and fun to ask where i was on 9/11. guess that's how you spot "cultural fit"?

"I was in Manhattan. I walked home over the Queensboro Bridge while staring at the smoke and thinking about whether it would be a good idea to enlist as an officer before the draft restarted. Cell phones weren't ubiquitous yet so my parents had no idea where I was until I found a payphone with only a ten minute line on the other side of the bridge. They had just finished calling all their friends and as it turned out, the guy who built their house was trapped in an elevator on an upper floor and just had time to leave his pregnant wife a farewell voicemail before he burned or dropped to death, so they were pretty frantic. Anyway, then I sat around in my room and didn't turn on the TV for a week. To compensate and have something to take my mind off the cloud of darkness, I spent that week posting on a really weird internet forum where someone posted "watch Bush start a loving war" and was flamed over it for months because we were attacked and that's not how things work at all.

To be honest, I think this is one of the worst questions I've ever heard of in an interview so I don't think I'd be a good fit here. It might be better for both of us to finish this interview early."

You're in charge of producing 'voyeur' porn for a website. Do you:

1) Pay a hooker $50.

2) Run into a restroom and stick a phone over the stall to get a blurry three second shot, get caught, beat up, arrested and charged with a sex crime, spend five years in prison getting beat up very day, then spend the rest of your life on a sex offender registry unable to get any job other than McDonalds.

Staged creepshots prooobably outnumber the genuine stuff at a wild guess, if only because the latter likely can't compete quality wise and is usually kept by the creepshotter.

I'm trans. This is not the secret, I'm open about it on these gay dead forums.

The secret is how I found out I'm trans.

I grew up in a super right-wing, Bible-thumping, Trump-voting family. I thought trans people were faking it, for attention mostly, and I was super pissed off at "enabling" psychologists who didn't know what they were talking about. "In fact," thought I with my galaxy brain, "I bet I could go see a psychologist who specialises in gender issues, and convince them I'm trans! And then I'll tell everyone about it, maybe even write an article, so they'll all see it's all a big pile of nonsense!"

So I set up an appointment, and went to see the psych. I made up a story about how I always felt uncomfortable being my birth gender, and I was questioning if I might be trans.

Well... To make a long story short, I made it three sessions with the psych before I ACTUALLY was questioning. They asked lots of inquisitive questions, and when I thought about possible answers I realised several things in my past made more sense if I actually was a trans person in deep denial.

By session ten I realised I actually am trans. And now I'm in the process of getting referrals for transition.

So... Whoops?

(Still have no idea how I'll explain this to my family.)

Goddamn. That psychologist is good. Good on you for breaking through the denial!

I'd be interested in knowing how many there are but if it's just a wall of links I probably wouldn't click on more than one or two of them. There have been a lot of people claiming to have written a lot of fake confessions and I never really cared to know which ones. I'd only be curious if that one goon's method flagged all/most of them as the same writer.

a) Whups, I'll use the anonymous mail next time, didn't realize that was a requirement. I was posting for a friend anyway, it's just easier to write in the first person.

b) Therapy doesn't do jack for some people; changing sexual orientation through therapy is considered impossible by today's doctors and scientists, so I think it's fair to say that changing taste in porn is difficult or ineffective at best. Official advice in therapy literature is stuff like "tell the patient to try that porn right after they orgasm and maybe they'll be train themselves to be less interested in it that way". That's seriously the best we've got - a laughable concept if you've actually tried. I appreciate it but if things aren't working then I don't think there's any shame in self-medicating. That's what all of TCC and most of America does.

It's not about making it so your friend doesn't think creepshot stuff is hot. You can be into that stuff and just like, fantasize, or roleplay, or read erotica about it. Look at cartoons or hentai or something. Just like how most people into BDSM don't need to look at actual abductions or rapes or whatever to get off. It's his compulsion to watch the porn despite feeling awful about it that's the problem. It's an obsession and a compulsion, not just how having a fetish naturally works for everyone and completely unchangeable. The actual analogy to being gay would be a man going out and having risky sex every night while in the closet, and then hating himself for it. The problem isn't that he's gay, it's that he's compulsively self-destructive.

9/11 dude:

Since you were in school when it happened just lie and say that you were in X grade and watched it on TV.

I honestly was in 5th grade and my teacher showed it to my class and we were all sad and crying. That's my story. You don't need anything more than that and if they press you on it just say that you don't remember that much more. You can make up some BS about how everyone in your class was crying or something.

It's a loving stupid question for an interviewer to ask you.

The answer has a lot more to do with demographics than your qualifications for the job (especially because the answer for anyone under the age of about 35 is going to be some variant of "in school").

Interviews are two-way evaluations: a bad question like that makes interviewees more likely to think "that interviewer was a doofus and I don't want to work at their company".

Worst case is that it opens you up to a discrimination lawsuit: imagine if you ask that question to a Sikh interviewee, for whom 9/11 was the start of a rash of hate crimes against Sikhs, and that after you badger them into explaining this to you, you don't give them the job. Any half-decent company's interview guidelines will stress in very big, bold letters "never ask anyone any question about their membership in protected classes".

Was catching up in the thread up until I was reading about drinking. I hang out with friends who drink from time to time and they are really funny when drunk so it really does seem like a fun time that I'm missing out on.

Unfortunately I've tried drinking and it has never worked out well. My parents let me try drinking at a young age (they are social drinkers and I'm pretty sure my dad drank a lot when he was younger) but I've always hated the taste of alcohol, and in college I've tried my hand at drinking like 4 separate times and they've all ended badly. I never get drunk or anything, just an overwhelming headache. I have had the presence of mind to expel all the alcohol I just drank in less than an hour after drinking like 4 cans of beer at a friend's birthday party, and I feel hungover (and completely sober) right after that.

My last attempt was me having just one bottle of Apple cider over an hour: All I had was a pounding headache throughout the night. I gave up after that. Seems like my body wants to try its best to expel any trace of alcohol before I can get past being tipsy.

I always never understood why people become alcoholic since the taste is so overwhelmingly vile, and the headache is one of the most unpleasant experiences in my life. It took me a while to realise that my experience was not normal at all. All I want is to lose my mind a bit just to see how it feels but that doesn't seem like it's working.

:smith:

I knew several people who had this kind of adverse reaction to booze in college, and they all just smoked a ton of weed instead. I say give that a shot if you're curious and alcohol doesn't work for you, it's not the same kind of high but it's similar

Stylometry goon followed up:

quote:

I can't actually detect who wrote what I just wrote that fesh so I could accuse Loq of writing all the feshes where the confessor is fat or autistic and loves their wife. He posts about his wife to the point I read what he writes in a Borat voice LOL. Anyways no hard feelings Loq you're actually one of my favorite posters.

I do think large chunks of feshes are written by the same poster and kind of wanted to pump people for info a little. Loq saying he only wrote 4-5 was actually useful since TBH I thought he might be the puppetmaster.

I'm not going to speculate since I want this fesh posted and Loq rightfully errs on the side of avoiding the thread getting shut down for drama, but my suspicion is that the "puppetmaster" is the source of a large chunk of the confessions. Or more accurately the "pretending to be real" confessions.

(I'm excluding the obvious creative writing from this analysis, I don't think anyone thinks the ghost/alien stuff is real)

PS: If you actually are interested in the subject here is the paper I was procrastinating reading that prompted the fesh: https://www.cs.drexel.edu/~sa499/papers/adversarial_stylometry.pdf

Yeah, honestly my experiences in trying to apply code from academic papers in a practical setting have suggested that it's quite frequently easier said than done, even when they supply actual code snippets rather than just formulae (like this paper, unless I missed something). I'm gonna say what I usually say when someone elevator-pitches their hackerman idea ITT: undertaking something like that for the purposes of dicking around on the forums would be a lot of effort for not a lot of payoff.

And no hard feelings, but I'm not fat or autistic, just sedentary and an rear end in a top hat :v: I am happily married though, thank you for noticing :)
