I'm pretty sure that by just being the POTUS the dude can gently caress us over in a myriad of ways if he so chooses to. I'm not saying the USA will nuke us.

No-one likes to be made fun of, to be the butt of a joke, to look like a fuckwit, to be embarrassed, it's a universal thing I think. Just depends on how you take it. Do you roll with it, or rage against the humiliation?

Donald will not take it well I feel. He remembers slights.

It's OK. Trump will declare war on Mt Trumble; President of Austria.

They're loving with you. I have to attend appointments with my provider once a fortnight at the most. And yeah, the "job searching" they "provide assistance and facilities" for is a loving joke. Years back I was having to come in once a week to use their computers for job searching. PCs running outdated windows, slowest internet connection so your searches take forever (but it's ok, here's the local paper on the table and oh someone took the job section with them, welp), grimiest loving keyboards and mice you ever saw. Walking into that room was the most humiliating, demoralising thing. I finally found a job through no assistance of that useless pack of shits and they had the gall to mail me a satisfaction survey and then ring me once a week to remind me to fill it out and return it or otherwise my personal agent would get a low mark.

I had similar a couple of years back, with Max Employment, the evil fuckers.
But from what I could gather this hour on their PC's was instead of spending a week in a seminar learning how to better find a job, as if they could actually help a person. Of course the government was giving them a shitload of money on the pretense of training me for a week.
In the end I did my job hunting at home before I went in, with the jobs I applied for on a list with me. I copied that list on to their approved form at their office, handed it to them and walked out.
They were fine with this arrangement.

Dammit, even just remembering my dealings with Max Recruitment gets me really angry.

Aren't these job seeking places the type of totally legit business that has to rebrand every six months or even shutdown and reopen under a new name?

They don't have to do that any more. They've been given all the power.
Even when I finally got a job they kept calling each month to check my progress, no doubt getting more money for doing so.
My only relief was when I totally spat the dummy at them and shouted insults down the phone at them until they hung up. And not even that stopped them from calling me again a month later. Cue more insult calls, once a month for a year after i got that job.

Snoremac, stay strong and endure it. If you're in Melbourne I'll buy you lunch some time if you want.
