My fam and I are all O. Like you, they don't like me. They'll go for anyone else. I also find that they will land on me and not try to bite - or if they do, they don't put in a lot of effort and don't pierce the skin. Even if they do bite, my skin doesn't appear to react and they seem to quit quickly.
Meanwhile, my poor spouse and kid are delicious. And they have soft, sensitive skin. It's ok, I always remember the repellent just for them.
One potential hurdle for implementation is the lack of new funding in the bill for local governments and election offices, which would be responsible for enforcing its provisions.
American politics loves unfunded mandates. The result will be the lack of ease of voting for as many people as possible.
Incompetence of HR staff plays a huge role in this. Hiring teams have zero understanding of what they're hiring for. They subscribe to services that design a candidate profile for them, which then filters candidates based on that candidate profile. There's a lot of keyword matching, education grading, even resume format analysis, and of course some subtle forms of discrimination (inferring age, for example). They want someone who is likely expecting the lower end of the salary band, as well, which is calculated. There's also a personality scoring system based on language and public profile analysis. All of this happens before a single person sees your resume. If the score isn't 9/10, the resume is discarded.
BCIS degree and the tool filters for "Computer Science"? Instant-reject.
And then there are ghost jobs. Companies have learned that the markets infer their health based on job openings, so they put up plausible openings with no intent to fill them. They might even promise internal teams that they will fill them, but they won't.
My employer has had a position open for 9 months, I've referred 2 people to it who were really good fits, and both were rejected within 4 hours. It's a ghost job.
The only reliable path to having a human make any intelligent judgment on your candidacy is with a referral from an existing employee.
Nobody has a textbook career history, but that's all recruiting teams know to look for. Most internal recruiters are failed sales people, and sales people are already pretty clueless most of the time. They outsource all of the thinking to external services.

This really upsets me. My preferred format has always been the mass market paperback. I can often fit them in a back pocket or cargo pocket, they fit better in my backpack, and they're easier to hold in positions with one hand. They're simply the superior format. I know they probably don't look cool on coffee tables or whatever, but they also use less surface area on coffee tables. I hate floppy coffee table sized paperback books.
It's fine, though, because most of what I read is old shit. I can keep buying my used mass market paperbacks. By the time the last ones disappear, I'll probably be dead.
Trump cancelled the federal grant for this program, so it might falter in upcoming years.
This is absurd. The contemporaneous accounts don't support this. We're making up fake history based on feels.
Meanwhile, real black African history is basically never taught due to the shadow of colonialism.
Instead of reaching for some false valour, can we teach the full pre-colonial history of Africa?
Fork it. Keep it open source. Enshitification is coming.
I drink ground chicory coffee (but not like New Orleans, mine has zero real coffee in it). It's dark and bitter, just like the way I like my coffee. And it has no caffeine! Which is good because caffeine gives me tremors and panic attacks.
