river barges breaking loose and hitting bridge pilings is more common and less dangerous than a loaded container ship plowing into some. you’d still rather not be on the bridge when it happens, because there have been incidents of barges taking out pilings a lot of stuff moves by barge, where there are navigable waterways available, and bridges across those rivers are as common as roads which cross them

triple sulk posted:all of this said, things could be a lot worse for me and I feel for people who are struggling, but it really loving sucks having a relatively stable career for a number of years and then all this happens. but I guess that's the circle of life in the global economy I think this is just one of those things that's extremely cyclical and that always gets forgotten in the middle of a cycle. Everyone genuinely thinks that their job, career, and financial positions are secure. Everyone. And it's very easy to be the person who's like "but I know my job is actually secure" and have a ton of valid reasons why that's the case, and still ultimately get hosed when the next real recession rolls around. It sucks a lot and it is deeply in the interests of capital to have everyone believing that their position in society is perfectly safe as long as they suck it up and keep doing everything their bosses tell them to do.

Coconut milk is notable for making me wake up at like 2 am with a desperate need to poop. I'm at least a little lactose intolerant and coconut milk is somehow worse Oat milk is best imo

Horseshoe theory posted:People in retail and hospitality have careers/financial positions? When I still worked in-store I had a manager in his 40s who'd been with the company for 10 years who talked openly with me about what his plans were if the store got a new store manager who'd force him to quit. He was making ~100k a year and had a house and two kids and had zero job security.

Asking for 1099s or any kind of proof of income is illegal in a bunch of states (mine included). It's extremely hosed up. I actually know someone who got an employer into a poo poo ton of trouble over this relatively recently.

Xaris posted:I guess you could fake a 1099 form since they can't verify it was actually IRS filed? they're probably just looking for a box to tick off to say 'user provided information' without even looking. If they did look and could easily confirm you faked it tI wouldn't be surprised if that was mega illegal and police could put you in jail over it though.

also if you put down freelance, just provide a list of projects & references. I haven't gotten 1099s for about half the freelance stuff I've done over 20 years.

I assume a fake 1099 would be fraud of some sort and yeah it's unlikely you'd be punished for it if you weren't like actively committing tax fraud with it, but it's still one bored person away from wrecking your life much like all sorts of things people do on a day to day basis that are technically illegal.

I think a lot of the time, people aren't looking to catch people in the act of lying or look for gotchas. i think it's presumed everyone is exaggerating if not lying overall. i think they're looking for people who sound very professional + understand the subject enough to craft good lies that someone who didn't understand wouldn't be able to do + give significant effort in lying to such a degree that it's a non-issue if it's true or false. when I do SME T&E reviews, i'm not actually checking if someone actually worked at x or had this role or was actually did [y] on this project or actually is good ay [z] skills. I'm looking for someone who, on paper, synthesizes those details into something coherent that tells me what they're actually good at it and shows they're very good at buttoning things up, avoiding pitfalls, and how they should relate to the position. For example, if were recruiting for hydrology, if someone says they led a contamination transport study through san antonio creek as a basis for obtaining a USACE 404 permit and self-performed field bathymetric data collection to supplement public LiDAR in developing terrain and then used HMR 59 precipitation backed by stream gage data from 1993 flood to validate overbank assumptions, and demonstrated that our chemical plant produced acceptable PFAS levels at the confluence point with the gulf of mexico. I don't actually care if they're lying or exaggerating because clearly they understand why those things relate to each other, what should go into a study like that, and how that applies to work necessary under the position. that's good enough for them to get to the in-person interview stage over everyone else who just says "i have vast experience with creek and permit. i ran many projects. they were successful. very good at excel" so if i were tasked with also making sure every candidate also had continuous employment for 20 years straight as a company-mandated requirement, if they gave me some paper that looked real enough i'd definitely just tick the box and moved on.

I got grilled after I got the offer lol, this was in between smashing the interview and starting the job. For w/e reason I had like 2 years of the 1099 emailed to myself for tax stuff and I just sent that off when they initially asked assuming 2 years would be sufficient proof I had been doing gig work for tutoring agency and they came back and asked for 1099's spanning the entire duration I had vaguely listed on my resume. This was with a note the employment offer could be retroactively voided of course. Modern HR is crazy and they want to drink your blood and tears.

This is honestly kind of psycho poo poo and probably not representative of a lot of companies, even really lovely ones. edit- which I'm only pointing out because you're saying you don't understand how people keep saying that they get by while lying about their resumes

the Trad Wife thing is... odd, because it combines the sociopolitical views of Phyllis Schlafly, with a soft-pornographic, titillating representation of women that Schlafly herself would have been opposed to.
