In my fanfiction that is currently being adapted into my comic, there are certain sparrow clan cultists that may be seen as controversial. Those being s****** bombers. >!The way they function is first they ignite themselves on fire using road flares, then they sprint towards the target and detonate themselves when close enough.!<

There will be no graphic depictions of the actual explosions or the aftermath of it, but I am more concerned as to whether or not it is morally appropriate to add them in the first place. While I am tempted to add them, I do not wish to make the readers uncomfortable either, hence why I decided to create a poll here and hear your thoughts about it before I make the decision to add them.

I am simply one of those people that have lost the coin toss at birth, meaning I have a shit load of issues in my head. Because of this, my social skills aren’t exactly the best, which will inevitably fail me during interviews (if I even get one).

In this market, I fear that I and countless others are outmatched by those with excellent skills and professional experience, especially if they have been laid off and are trying to make ends meet themselves. And quite frankly, why should companies hire people like us when there are many better alternatives for them?

I’ve already accepted the fact that I may never get my dream job, despite my education and some experience. I feel like this makes me useless and a burden to society. Even with full support from family, friends, and even social services, I’m still not getting anywhere at the moment, and time is running out as well.

Started applying to jobs recently for the first time and I’ve talked to a couple of people who are experienced in my field (IT/Cybersecurity) and we tried to run through mock interviews.

The outcome turned out to be worse than I thought. I literally couldn’t answer questions from my own resume due to either anxiety, bad memory, or something that I hadn’t learned yet. I only have two years of internship ‘experience’ and it wasn’t that educational if I’m to be honest.

I feel quite bad and like a failure, not sure how to proceed besides consulting with AI as the prognosis for me does not look good, especially in today’s job market.

Started job hunting recently for the first time after I graduated, got some certs, and finished my unpaid internship. That wasn’t until I talked to a couple people who are experienced in my field (IT/Cybersecurity) and we did mock interviews, I realized something really bad about me.

I simply could not answer the questions properly, either from anxiety, foggy memory, or something outside my knowledge. My ‘internship’ after all was at a family friend’s computer shop where the experience wasn’t honestly that great or worthwhile. Yet they asked questions based on what I put in my resume, which I did exaggerate a bit as I was told to do so and probably why I didn’t answer that well on some subjects. With that in mind, I probably won’t last in an actual interview, yet alone get one.

The job market for that field is bad enough, so how should I expect to even make any gains or additional experience? It certainly makes me feel like a failure and a parasite (since I have SSDI) on this rock. My future looks bleak, uncertain, and I don’t know how to find the path to resolve it.
