What industry? I have recruiters hitting me up constantly for shitty contract CS jobs

jubilationtcornpone ,

Recruiters: “pREtTy MuCh eVeRyOnE iS dOiNg cOnTrAcT aNyMoRe.”

Me (who already has a full time job): “Well that’s too damn bad!”

SpaceNoodle ,

Yeah, but nobody’s applying for those shitty jobs.

Meanwhile, it’s easier to build your own startup and get acquired by them than to get hold of a Microsoft recruiter.

Agree?

Y’all are as bad as Reddit. Yes I see it. No it’s not intentional.

I only looked at this for ten seconds and I forgot how the real map looks.

The malignant Dak-ancer has spread to your Cancerlina. The illness stems from exposure to fascist gerrymandering. It’s a fatal prognosis.

I… I can’t even figure what’s wrong with it even though I know it’s so very, very wrong. My brain hurts.

As someone from Europe it looks fine to me.

I genuinely didn’t get the joke until I read the hover text and even then I just assumed he put extra lines in to troll the Americans.

Close enough.

I think you forgot that Wyoming isn't real

It's just a fancy name for "Dakota[citation needed]".

wyrmroot , to xkcd in Challenge accepted

We’ve been ignoring the Dakotas for too long, they are spreading at an alarming rate!

Damn that’s scary. I don’t think there’s many drag queens there but child abuse in those states are higher than most. /s

Incest often doesn’t provide viable offspring though.

Tell that to the British royal line

Any royal line for that matter

That’s what happens when the antidax narrative takes hold.

You missed Upper Peninsula north of Wisconsin.

ThatOneKirbyMain2568 OP ,
@ThatOneKirbyMain2568@kbin.social avatar

That's the other part of Michigan, unless the Upper Peninsula decided to become Upper Dakota while I wasn't looking.

According to Sean Hannity on Fox News it’s Canada

It’s like a stretch station wagon, you can do it, but why?

themeatbridge , to xkcd in Challenge accepted

That’s an awful lot of Dakotas. Also, Ohio really ought to be renamed Ohno.

And no Howoming, Whatoming, Wheroming, or Whooming, missed opportunities.

I have an inkling that the two Arkansas are pronounced differently. “Are-Kansas” and “Are-Can-Saw”.

abouttocomealive ,
@abouttocomealive@lemmy.world avatar

One is Akansas

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.social avatar

Are-ken-saw, A-kan-saw and a Kan-sahs

SuzyQ ,
@SuzyQ@sh.itjust.works avatar

I see that now. I did not see it then.

One has no R

I see that now. I did not see it then.

Nougat ,

That's because Arkansas (ARE-can-saw) retained the native language pronounciation, while Kansas (CAN-zuhs) was Anglicanized.

misophist ,

Today I learned the native language was French!

Nougat ,

The word “Arkansas” came from the Quapaw Indians, by way of early French explorers. ... The state’s name has been spelled several ways throughout history. In Marquette and Joliet’s Journal of 1673, the Indian name is spelled AKANSEA. In LaSalle’s map a few years later, it’s spelled ACANSA. A map based on the journey of La Harpe in 1718-1722 refers to the river as the ARKANSAS and to the Indians as LES AKANSAS. In about 1811, Captain Zebulon Pike, a noted explorer, spelled it ARKANSAW.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

But where is Are-Cannot-Saw?

I think we could make it easier for many by drawing a diagonal line from the top of Columbia on the west coast to Louisiana in the south east and just label the whole area “Old Mexico”.

Then when people start yelling at you go back to where you came from or learn to speak American they can return to Europe where their ancestors were born…

I had a college professor who absolutely would have handed something like this out as a pop quiz.

RedAggroBest ,

This map made me think that I’d love to teach US history and just drop this map on a bunch of 16yos.

“You must label all the states, I won’t answer any questions.”

And just wait for the first WTFs

Hmm, trying to understand your username, are you both very intelligent/ talented AND have a lift kit on your vehicle?
