a friend of mine was almost hired at a clothing store or whatever and they were like you're awesome we just need your social insurance number to like open your employee file or whatever. then they went back into the office for a bit. then they came out and were like sorrrryyyy we decided to go in another direction. so he's certain they ran an (illegal) credit check and were concerned by the fact he doesn't pay his bills. i'm not sure if that's what you mean. or are you talking about like a guy googling you and finding a trove of posts about never going full hitler.

not a background check story and also not my story, but still. one of my old leftist troll buddies from twitter was questioned by the feds when there was a bomb scare at his college. it had absolutely nothing to do with him but he was obviously on their radar as a potential troublemaker. he thought it was funny until they asked him what he was doing chatting with so-and-so on a particular date. once again that had nothing to do with the bomb scare they were ostensibly there to investigate but he certainly got the message which was 'hey pal, we're reading everything in your google account'.

every time that either the immigration march or the gay pride parade was coming up one of the old punk anarchist bullshit squats in austin would get raided because they knew there were anarchist black bloc kids in there. there was probably someone snitching but there were some sad stories of peopel going to jail for years over a dime bag and whatnot

corollary question: have any of you (or your close relatives) been able to gain high security clearance and/or been able to become a military officer through direct commission promotion? (lol)

i had a friend applying for a janitorial position that might have occasionally had him doing shifts in an rcmp station, and part of the application process for security clearance was "has anyone you know ever used a file sharing service? if so, list their names, the files they downloaded, and the date and times of said downloads"

thank god he walked out or i'd be in foreverjail

he's not the kind of person with the courage to put random bullshit false information on a cop form, and claiming you don't know anyone will just cause you to fail the check anyways because they know that there is literally no one of our age range who doesn't know of any piracy

i guess i did fail a background check twice.

once i went to go see face/off with my friends and the ticket guy said how old are you and i said 17. and he said you need to be 18 to see this movie, so i'm going to ask you again, how old are you. and i'm like, i'm 17 bro, i can't lie. and my friends were like we hate you so much and now we have to see jurassic park 3.

the other time was a few years ago when i called a jewish health centre to get counseling and they were like... your name is donald (redacted)... you're not jewish are you... and i was like no... no. sorry. goodbye.

your friend should have adjusted his glasses (he should always have thick wire-rimmed glasses for interviews) and say "excuse me, but i don't even own a computer"

for being such a subversive lifestylist the interviewer will be thrown off guard and probably hire your friend on the spot

luckily they found him a pos'n at the TRIUMF facility in Vancouver, the Canadians were like "eh, whatever" which im sure wd upset a lot of ppl here. perhaps I shd leak it to the globe and mail or whatever. "PERSON WHOSE MIDDLE NAME IS LITERALLY JIHAD CLEARED TO WORK IN NUKE LAB"

this was my favourite pic because of the danger window. like his kid comes running down the stairs, trips and flies through the window lol.

the other one i like a lot is this:



because you get a sense that he's almost thought he's in over his head trying to lay pipe for a sewage system. then the inspector came and was like... you can't lay pipe like this, that is very against code and he had to spend a huge sum of money doing it right.

I do think it's pretty impressive that he basically built a multi-story house w/ electricity and plumbing all by himself, even though it's a death trap. I'm not very handy.
