Any place that you could work for that would say this is run by fucking idiots, who are likely doing a techically legal, elaborate fraud.
But, but, if… degree mills exist… then…
Recruiters would have to do actual work, to vet that!
Clearly you haven’t been on LinkedIn enough to understand how the job market actually works.
I actually did destroy the family furbies this way.
We got them, thought they were fun for a bit… but they wouldn’t ever shut up.
We put them in a drawer, and they’d just rattle and groan, in the middle of the damn night.
So one day I took em, put em in the middle of the road, covered them in kerosene, lit em up.
… with a safety lighter, of course.
I remember their protestations as they burned.
Goddamn demon toys.
Never got punished for it, couple months later somebody just asked ‘whatever happened to those damn fur toy things?’
‘oh, i dunno, i thought you took em away or something’
‘… whatever, just glad those are gone, christ, they would not stop yammering’.
Ok, now literally kill them all for crimes against humanity.
Beyond being evil, these fucking morons are too incompetent to be left in charge of anything.
Are you somehow entirely unaware of the DEW crowd control devices that have been being used for like 2 decades now?

Yeah, the whole point of these things is they basically microwave the outer layer of your skin, when in wide beam mode.
Or, they can be dialed in to be a more concentrated beam… to uh, internally heat up a bit more than just your skin.
But uh, for legal reasons of course nooo they do not do that and cannot do that.
While it is claimed not to cause burns under “ordinary use”,[50][51] it is also described as being similar to that of an incandescent light bulb being pressed against the skin,[14] which can cause severe burns in just a few seconds. The beam can be focused up to 700 meters away, and is said to penetrate thick clothing although not walls.[52] At 95 GHz, the frequency is much higher than the 2.45 GHz of a microwave oven. This frequency was chosen because it penetrates less than 1⁄64 of an inch (0.40 mm),[53] which – in most humans, except for eyelids and the thinner skin of babies – avoids the second skin layer (the dermis) where critical structures are found such as nerve endings and blood vessels.
I would imagine that if you had an emorous amount of microwave energy from an orbiting solar array, being beamed to a recieving station on earth, (ie, a very small small space compared to the distance involved) and it uh, missed, yeah, yeah it would microwave people.
There’s also this:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8733248/
Brief but intense pulses of radiofrequency (RF) energy can elicit auditory sensations when absorbed in the head of an individual, an effect known as the microwave auditory or “Frey effect” after the first investigator to examine the phenomenon (1). The effect is known to arise from thermoacoustically (TA)-induced acoustic waves in the head (2).
Lin has proposed that the Frey effect may be linked to unexplained health problems reported by U.S. officers in Cuba and elsewhere, the so-called Havana syndrome (3).
Probably don’t tell any schizophrenics you may or may not know about that.
Holy shit.
Getting the ability to remote charge things via microwave… that are moving?
That’s been basically sci fi nonsense, at a practical level, for a long time.
Anybody remember the Microwave Power stations in SimCity 2000?
If you could actually get this tech working, it has an incredible number of potential applications.
So there is actually a semi-valid reason to find a lot of skeletons in bathrooms and not other places, in a post US nuclear apocalypse:
A fair number of buildings are most structurally sound around the bathroom, because those room walls tend to be stronger/reinforced compared to other walls, to be able to handle all the plumbing.
Bathrooms also tend to be located closer to the inside of the building, for basically the same reason.
So, its pretty reasonable that if you heard the sirens go off, had only a minute or two… yeah, sheltering in the bathroom would be the optimal strategy, if you don’t have a basement/cellar.
The entire AAA video game industry right now is basically freaking out, panicking and financially imploding right now, after at least a solid decade of mainly figuring out how to waste an enormous amount of money…
While all trying to be the next big live service game.
A live service game isn’t so much a game as it is a platform itself, a cash shop for in game content, a social media platform in itself.
(See Roblox for an extremely problematic but successful version of pulling this off)
These people all failed miserably at this, such that Ubisoft imploded, EA got bought out by Saudi Blood Money, Unity itself is imploding as an organization, MSFT switched its gaming division into pure wealth extraction mode before they shut it down in ~5 years and just act as IP liscensing overlords… etc.
They all tried to establish vertically integrated businesses, and despise that they can’t come close to matching Valve, the most competent horizontally built business in the entire industry.
And yes, the ‘video game industry’ includes nearly all ‘video game journalists’.
These people are with few exceptions, allergic to doing any actual investigative journalism, they’re mostly just paid to manipulate the flow of discourse around video games, as a form of marketing, hype management, sentiment management.
But you don’t understand, we live in a meritocracy that rewards hard work and skill!
