What the Hell happens if you have neither?
How to legally discriminate against anyone above the age of 40?
Or under the age of 25. Nobody is voluntarily signing up for Instagram in the modern era. Hell, even TikTok is getting past its prime.
They might as well be demanding my Spotify Playlist.
As someone under 25, this is bullshit. I’m the only person my age I know that doesn’t use Instagram
i think you’re severely overestimating how discerning most zoomers are about social media
Where are the kids then? Roblox?
See, THIS is what modern technology was supposed to bring.
It’s so hard to organise a hangout with friends. Nobody knows when they’re available because they don’t have a proper calendar. Everyone just lives their life one day at a time, having no clue if they’ll be free next Tuesday for a pint or two. It’s so annoying.
The moment you start using a semi-public calendar, things become so much easier. People don’t need to see your events, just free/busy blocks. And when you want to organise something for a dozen people, that level of knowledge, combined with some AI (ain’t nobody got time to find a free time slot that’s good for everyone!), sorts these things out so quickly.
Sure, some 30% still won’t turn up but at least it’s not an endless “X can’t make it next Tuesday, next Thursday would be good except Y and Z are out of town, etc etc”. I have your emails, I have your availability calendars, let’s make it happen. Boom. Pub time scheduled in 5 minutes.
This doesn’t need AI. Traditional algorithms can do this.
True, I was thinking one step further with AI negotiating with your friends’ AI to find the right spot, with minimal prompting to the users, kinda like the automated call screening systems you have on modern phones.
Yeah, that’s the eventual industry goal with “agentic AI”. Still, absurd waste of power, water, and arable land in the end; especially since the big wigs aren’t even really doing much that’s innovative to reduce the draw to any of those. Hell, they’ll build a data center in one of the world’s hottest deserts on faith they can tap an aquifer. Wild really.
Move to Germany lol, everybody has a calendar. Downside is that you have to schedule meetups long in advance because everybody (at least adults) plan like at least a week, some like a month, ahead and we aren’t very flexible
Then, an idea struck: He sent the girl a calendar invite titled “Hook up?” for the following Friday night at 11:30 p.m.
That’s brilliant.
If you’re under 16 or over 40[pedo].
Discord might be the spot where all the cool kids hang out. Idk anymore, tbh.
There are plenty of 40+ non-pedo communities on Discord. You’ve got music production gear and synth communities like Dirtywave, Polyend, and Deluge, TTRPGs, software devs in general, and much more. Discord is also good for LFG, which is indispensable for any middle aged gamer who is too busy to have a regular gaming schedule and gaming crew.
? I think OP was saying being on Roblox over the age of 40 was the pedo thing, not Discord.
I could be mistaken though.
That’s what I gathered too! I think the downvoting folks are taking the comment in a vacuum, not considering what they’re replying to.
Tell me about it. AxeAndSickle is my go to for online gaming
They might as well be demanding my Spotify Playlist.
Need to clean up majorly before submitting. Not sure if I should be more worried about certain lyrics or extreme noise and/or extreme weirdness.
Yeah, that sounds insane. Everyone knows those platforms are selling your data. I don’t think most young people are that stupid.
Or under the age of 25. Nobody is voluntarily signing up for Instagram in the modern era.
Ok this will make me sound 8,000 years old, but what social network are the kids these days using? TikTok exists, but that isn’t really a personal blogging site like Facebook, Myspace, Instagram, etc. What is the equivalent for Facebook for present day high school and college students? Is everyone just on discord?
I think large group chats. Benefits of larger audience posting without being completely public-facing.
Nobody does personal blogging. Well, except a few specific primates doing so on Xitter. And I’ve also seen some people with at least half a brain getting a domain and writing blogs there in hopes someone clicks on their link.
You’re reading blog to literally. Think how people traditionally use Facebook/Myspace, posting regular updates, photos from their life, etc, intended primarily for friends and family to see. What’s the equivalent of that for kids today?
I mean, outside of posting a few pics of college events, I don’t think most of my friends post pictures to Instagram. Hell, some of them like me don’t even have Instagram/major social media anymore.
Before I left Insta, I didn’t even bother to follow friends/irl people I know
because I’d rather talk to them in person that shit’s dumb, I really only looked at memes, silly reels/vids, and fanart of stuff. Like 90% of Gen Z is only on social media for content and lols, not to update each other on their livesI talk to my friends in person. We share pictures of shit we do in life to each other in group chats, but 95% of what we do was done as a group anyway. We don’t really feel the need to let randos/online friends know every thing we’re doing all the time.
What if you don’t have an account?
I live in California. This is illegal.
I lived in a “purple” city and constantly dealt with illegal application requests.
Its only illegal if companies actually get punished. But nah, not when you have a man in the white house who can touch little girls and gargle presidential balls and nothing happens.
Let’s be very clear: only one of those two sexual acts is illegal. The other one is just hilarious proof that we live in the most stupid timeline.
Job applications want your whole life
Indeed, they do.
“N/A” is the correct answer unless your account happens to be under your real name. “Fuck you, try and find it” is what you should be thinking.
Data harvesting disguised as a job application
I feel like any company that seriously wants an employee doesn’t want an answer to either question.
I do not have a TikTok account because I’m not 6 years old, and do not care about what the current trend is.
The weird part is why they would want to take on the legal exposure. There’s far too much opportunity to complain about discrimination due to membership in various classes.
And it’s required. I genuinely have neither. Am I not welcome to apply?
You’re on an fbi list for not having one and another list for having neither
At least I’m not on the Epstein list.
Try :() :;:
My Instagram handle is '); DROP TABLE AccountNames;–
Anyone asking for your full address at the job application stage isn’t usually legit either. Just don’t. You can give that to a BG check company after an offer is made and accepted.

where I live, there is a street near mine that is locally famous for being a trouble making poor area.
Felony Flats is one of the nicer nicknames that neighborhood has. The street I live on is also famous, but it is famous for being the road with the old historical houses and generally upper class atmosphere, the popular walkway/trail runs alongside it.
Everything being equal and it came down to splitting hairs, if someone was to see the street names and addresses and knows the area, they would absolutely give me an opportunity vs my neighbor of just a few blocks away.
Felony Flats is one of the nicer nicknames that neighborhood has.
Please tell me there’s also a Misdemeanor Manor somewhere in your city.
That really depends on the jurisdiction.
In the UK, it is mandatory to provide your actual address for most positions, for example.
Brit here. I have never been asked for my address pre-offer.
What?
It seems pretty resonable for my employer to know where I live…
Here in Sweden, they get all of that info via our personal number which we submit to them when accepting the possition
Application vs accepting an offer are quite different - an employer doesn’t need to know where you live if they aren’t accepting you and you applied online. Though it’s definitely the norm here in Germany to include the address on the application, too.
It’s anecdotal, but back when I was on Reddit, I saw someone say that a prospective employer actually required your full credentials so that they could check your private information as well.
That not only sounds illegal and shady, it would be the dumbest thing you could do.
Now somebody else has your account, uploads some Epstein material for shits and giggles and you can go to jail
That is an immediate “Nope the fuck out of there, you do NOT want to work in het place”
Small company overreach.
They probably also ask you a bunch of illegal questions in the screening
i recently looked up the Security clearance law in my country, which has 3 levels.
And only in the highest level, for social media, all they do is look at your public profile (if i did not misread it) (They do stuff like asking people close to you questions tho)
My boss worked at IBM before his current role. He said a former colleague of his listed him as a reference for his security clearance and he “got to meet with some men in suits with no sense of humor” as part of it.
Honestly I’ll probably never go for any jobs that require a security clearance because honestly that’s just a level of stress that I don’t need
This is probably rage bait TBH.
since this is required…I’m sure the position involves some type of social media presence on insta and tiktok
I’ve had first-hand accounts of in-person interviewers turning their laptops to the interviewee and asking them to log in to their social media accounts.
I’ve also had first person accounts of interviewees laughing and leaving immediately.
As would any sane person
“Required” doesn’t mean you have to provide account credentials. It just means you have a provide a string of characters to complete the form.
Noneor/are strings of character.Well since we are picking nits, it could be that the form checks in real time and won’t accept a non-existent account name.
But yeah, the red asterisks are disconcerting.
I wonder how safe they are from SQL injection…
this could only come close to making sense for a social media manager.
