It's always at least twice. I guess I'm getting old.

Backstory: we haven't had more than an inch of snow since 1966

French Quarter

Palms

More palms

… in a subreddit for listing available federal job positions.

Many are upset about this and start arguing in the comments.

There's a literal fricking hiring freeze, what do you want from us?

To follow the rules and not try to start some uprising here?

What federal hiring process? No one is getting hired right now, and also, who would even want to join the government at this point? You'd have to be desperate or stupid to hop on a sinking ship…

People are still getting hired. Jobs are still being posted on USAJobs. So go on, delete your comment or edit it to admit you didn't think before commenting.

I did think before commenting and stand by my comment that anyone thinking of joining the federal government in this moment is either stupid or desperate.

Even if you do get hired, everyone received the mass "please resign!" emails and I doubt that trend will end any time soon. And if you get hired, you're likely probationary which is an awful spot to be in. No one's job is special or safe or can't be done by a Musk crony according to this administration.

I mean, if you're already trapped in fed gov, do you. But now seems like an especially bad time to hop around because what boss is going to bat for a new employee?

Plenty of people want to join. There are still posts on this very subreddit of people looking for advice, showing their TJO and FJO. You want to call them stupid or desperate? Fine, but don't try to subvert the reason for the subreddit existing. So both your points, that no one is getting hired and no one wants to work for the administration are rendered null by the facts.

Yeah, good luck to them 👍 I truly hope it works out.

Amen. My heart goes out to you mods, I can't even imagine how busy you guys have been sifting through the extra 100K new bots and their nonsense.

If anyone wants to really visualize why this is necessary then everyone's history is accessible.

ALL (no exceptions as of 43 comments) who want non-stop rage bait politics here have never before set foot in this sub prior to the EOs.

ALL who don't like off-topic nonsense and support the mods, hammered with downmarseys, are top contributors who've been helping the sub for months/years.

We are being brigaded by trolls and bots, the only people who can possibly abide are the trolls and bots.

Do remember there are a lot of feds who have created burner accounts in order to participate without issue. Does make it much harder to tell who has been here before and who is a bot or troll.

New accounts would support that possibility, but none of them are new - all long term /r/politics users never here before.

Plus burner or not wouldn't change the fact that it is off-topic on this sub.

Did Elon post this?

Removing posts about what is going on only serves the interests of the new administration. Reddit should be a safe space for people to converse about their reality as a fed, or anyone affected by these EOs. We should be kept aware as the general public so we know how to help and join the conversation. Silencing the voices of people who are worried or unaware of the situation is how we got here and how we make it worse—not better. The teaching and nursing subreddits almost never ban ANYTHING. Why? Because everything is relevant in their public facing jobs, everything reaches them one way or another, the feds are no different. Shutting down the conversation is wrong and leads to/is fascism. Stop upholding arbitrary "rules" that support it.

Post them to /r/fednews where they belong.

It doesn't even belong there, but rprz and the other mods are terminally chronically online reddit jannies who are ignoring rule #5 of their subreddit.

Rule 5 there states no politics, but you can discuss current policies. So discussion of the Fork in The Road, the other HR(at)opm.gov emails, the RTO memos, and notices to probationary employees should all be valid.

Given that our work has been politicized to a higher degree than at any point in the past, I don't think the Mods are violating their rules.

If that's what were happening I'd agree with you. However the 100,000x fold YoY increase in the usage of the words "Nazi", "Fascist", and "regime" to describe our democratically elected government suggest to me that reasoned discussion of government policies is not primarily what's going on. When subredditors describe what they're doing as "doomscrolling" that word seems to have a negative connotation, in my mind. When "Solidarity from Moldova" type posts are upmarseyd to the top of the subreddit, that doesn't feel like a well-considered policy analysis by an informed stakeholder.

Enjoy a dead Reddit for a while, then.

Amazingly we existed just fine from the dawn of Reddit until a couple weeks ago when the bots invaded. We chugged along even without an off-topic chicken little post every 5 minutes.

That's funny, you're going to chug along with what job postings?

Yeah, thanks.

That's part of the problem. This can't exist in a vacuum. Everything that impacts hiring needs to discussed.

Feel free to post anything pertaining to the federal application process (e.g. questions, concerns, suggestions, tips, experiences, etc.).

The day one purpose and rule 1 of this sub.

What about the application process has changed due to the EOs? Go ahead, I'll wait.

Nothing? Correct.

Fednews (and THOUSANDS of others) exists, until an EO fundamentally changes the application process it doesn't belong here.

You're extremely pressed.

Uh, no. I think—like many of us—he's just getting tired of the 24/7 complain fest that this sub has devolved into. Go complain to your family and friends. Some of us come here for useful information—not to read people's diaries.

Not much federal hiring practice activity going on right now…

checks usajobs, sees plenty of jobs posted

Gaslamping doesn't work when people have reality right in front of them...

They're not "gaslamping"

They said "not much" is going on right now which is very true. Just because there is some still happening doesn't mean that the majority of possible positions are under a hiring freeze

Thank you. The person accusing gaslamping is literally gaslamping lol

Has anyone noticed this phenomenon? These barely legal girls put on silicone drag queen breasts, film low effort videos that get hundreds of thousands of views, men embarrass themselves in the comments. How do they not see they're fake? Most of the videos will have a high cut shirt on, then they'll use ai on photos with cleavage. Some even use ai on videos, pretty well actually, but now I've been looking a lot I can tell.

Of course these girls have onlyfans, I respect the grift. The crazy thing is they all use the same breast plate which has the left tit slightly higher than the right, like wonky hentai style. I've found at least 15 of these profiles. Idk I just want to talk to someone about this and figured rs people would be offended by stolen big natural valor.

I love finding out about weird corners of the internet I didn't know about. People gooning over literal fake tits smh my head.

Temporary Protected Status or TPS is a legal mechanism that protects illegals from deportation. According to the gov itself, Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS due to conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country's nationals from returning safely, or in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately. USCIS may grant TPS to eligible nationals of certain countries (or parts of countries), who are already in the United States.

This is a godsend for illegals from particular shithole countries because it is a literal trump card when it comes to illegal immigration. As long as TPS is extended, the date in which you had to make it to the US to apply for it keeps being rolled down, and with shitholes like Venezuela who remain unsafe given their actual dictator in chief, the prediction was that it would be free from Drumpfs list of targets as they are neither accepting deportees or stable/safe/not committing human rights abuses

TPS as a trump card is legitimately insane and lawcels use it to a ridiculous degree to prevent deportations. Notably, TPS can be used during deportation proceedings to:

>petition the court to close an ongoing deportation case, with or without the support of a prosecutor

>prevent enforcement of an active deportation order

>appeal a deportation order to then close the appeal once you have TPS

Lawcels will effectively sneed at having a large amount of clients be outright unable to avoid deportation now, as will actual beneficiaries. The sneed from beneficiaries is also going to be monumental, because a TPS beneficiary qualifies for:

>protection from deportation

>work permits to work legally

>social security number

>housing benefits and numerous forms of welfare like healthcare, cash, student loans, food stamps...

So wheres the drama? Soon to come about as the news comes out pretty late night about a niche topic. NYT has confirmed they have a copy of a Trump Administration Decision to shut down the latest renewals, meaning Venezuelans will lose their protections in 2 waves, one in April and another in September and face summary deportation unless they beg to be placed in the enormous queue for a deportation hearing. Keep an eye out for sneed sometime between tomorrow and saturday (deadline for DHS Sec to announce if renewed or banned). Once the official announcement is made and this actually hits headlines beyond one outlet, we may get a surge in Dramacoin (or it will all be unintelligible bastardized spanish).

so what's up guys as some of u know i been in boot camp for the last few months. while we were there we were comparing ourselves to prisoners during mail call one day so since i hadnt nutted in a month or so my horny butt got the idea to send mail to female (actual) prisoners and see what i could get back. it's hard cuz we don't have our phones but there are a few times when u get technology so i found some online and wrote their info down so i could mail them later. all of them were pretty frickin ugly besides this cute 23 yo chick who's locked up for helping kidnap this one guy. shes hot n she wants to meet up when she gets out in 4 months. so in 4 months either i get the best kitty of my life or she murders me or both but we'll see. just thought i would update yall on how things have been going for me

You might remember this drama from the previous two posts about it:

Original post from the yoootoober themselves: https://rdrama.net/post/335788/i-have-pissed-off-1000s-of

Further sneeding: https://rdrama.net/post/336959/brave-dramasoldier-has-ended-up-causing

After 4 days, he's still generating whiny children. Technodad is the father of dead YouTuber Technoblade. He came out with the following statement:

It'll make more sense if you read (and upmarsey) the previous posts.

There's a lot of sneed on OP's tweet but it's kinda hard to parse what's being said as Minecrafter terminology has changed over the multitude of years that I haven't played the game. The guy OP's quoting has been tracking the whole situation.

NOBODY is letting our brave dramasoldier off the hook, even after he donated $100 to the charity that the dead YouTuber was fundraising for.

Further sneed about both our dramasoldier and another YouTuber defending him, TheMisterEpic.

Not only is TME being kkkanceled for defending racism on the TL, he's also being cancelled for… agreeing with a Turkey Tom video! I don't know a lot about the Wilbur Soot situation as I'm not a teenage girl, but apparently he bit his girlfriend and ppl have been melting down over it for YEARS.

He also points out in the thread how our dramafren was caught on the TERRIBLE INCEL DATING APP… duolicious. Lmfao I cannot express how much I'm laughing rn

Removed the photo just in case BB doesn't want it up, his face is censored but he does selfdox a lot so…

In the original video, he's basically just making fun of how people look… or the same reason these people identify themselves as an incel. He even acknowledges the true definition of the word at the beginning of the video. Later into the video he talks about how he hasn't really seen any "incels" (or his twisted definition of incel) on the app, mostly because incels are just people who can't have s*x and not he-man women haters.

The video itself is really unfunny and very hard to listen to as this British loser has a REALLY bad lisp. When it gets to the part that shows BB in his true glory, the YouTuber keeps soying that there's a Minecraft YouTuber on the platform. He tries to find who it is but he can't figure it out. The only comment acknowledging this is BB himself self reporting.

The very last tweet in the thread talks about how TME defends groomers. Well, I took two seconds to find the actual tweet and he doesn't appear to be defending groomers, in fact, he sounds like he's against it.

TheMisterEpic also defended sexualized content towards children. pic.twitter.com/TVlbtKns7n

— Jia ₍ • 🐽 • ₎ 🇵🇭 (@JiaThaPig) January 28, 2025

Original tweet:

Hot take:

Who cares what content he makes. Sure the guys cringe, but his main channel has 55 mil views, he's been more successful on YouTube then almost everyone criticising him. Content sucks but if he didn't do it, someone else would. Don't hate the player hate the game https://t.co/kUC7yXJAD6

— TheMisterEpic (@TheMisterEpicYT) April 25, 2024

The whole argument is over sexual thumbnails on YouTube videos, TME puts a purposefully vague quote tweet to farm interactions. He further replies clarifying that people should be protesting for change at YouTube VS attacking a shitty guy that'll just be replaced with another shitty guy. I find this especially funny when the guy who made the incel video (who's also part of this Minecraft YouTuber gang with the dead YouTuber) also has slightly suggestive thumbnails/themes.

NOW looping back to the original point… do you know the best part about all this… that incel video was made 8 months ago. If it actually becomes a part of this drama, that technically means he's been generating seethe for 8 MONTHS. Make sure to upmarsey to support my independent research and make sure to show "support" for everyone involved

That title is not hyperbolic.
