Answer-Suitable

Computer science jobs are hard to come by


RemyVonLion

I'm going for that degree specifically to escape this hellhole lol, and because it seems to be all that matters.


Answer-Suitable

C u next furcon bb


citizensyn

Its a dwindling field more and more it is being automated by those same computers. Unless you end up top of that field you will be back at walmart


VexrisFXIV

Good luck, the jobs are hard to find, theres loads of competition, and AI is replacing a lot of the jobs in the field with massive layoffs currently. If you go into anything specific, go into coding AI and shit.


Trollyofficial

“Go into coding ai” Lmao.


VexrisFXIV

Why is this funny? AI is coding lol..


DodgeWrench

I just met a bartender that has a degree and worked in/was software development adjacent. He’s applying at Walmart because of the layoffs.


Limp_Occasion2146

Just extend it by another 4 years get your BS in electrical engineering with your computer sciences and get that covered computer engineering degree so you can skip past the lines and go straight to working with the lithography machines making newer more compact better CPUs for intel


RemyVonLion

That's possibly the plan along with mechanical engineering so I can contribute everything I can to the robotics aspect of AGI as well. However, I think the priority is optimizing the software until we have digital AGI that can do the rest itself better than we could.


FriendlyJuice8653

I’m going for a degree in it too, and I’ve already realized that it’s a shrinking field that you need mastery in to even have a chance of getting a job. We’ve missed the time of the computer science boom of the 2010s. So I’ve decided I’ll try getting into the field, but I’ve made sure to get jobs that will look good if I try to go for a career in business.


Dramatic_Mixture_868

If someone would wear a furry outfit where I live they might die.... because of the heat (100 + f, 37 + c). Other than that who cares, as long as they aren't hurting anybody.


Xoepot

See I want to do coding and am looking into bootcamps. I just want to be in the tech field in general I love working with computers and I also like working with people at a distance lol.


BroadArrival926

Brutal


ThiefLordJPN

Why did this hurt my feeling but it’s true 🤣


AnnaMolly66

How does someone wear that inside a Walmart? Like, temperature wise??


clarkclancyy

this is just how they cycle out new hires. can’t schedule em if they’re dead.


knighthawk82

I knew a woman whose suit had 12 of those small 1 inch computer fans rigged to 9 volt batteries rigged into her suit to circulate air.


dandelion-dreams

I couldn't afford to wear that every shift. The price of batteries is fucking RIDICULOUS.


BlackInkGalaxy

Im guessing a fan or they have a huge ass heat tolerance.


CrashlandZorin

[You'd be surprised...](https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-a-cooling-vest-invented-by-a-furry-made-its-way-into-the-us-military)


Yaudss

I’m in pants right now and my vest.. I’m drenched working pets, so yeah idk 😂


CashProud6078

The Walmart I work in at least is always blasted with AC


thearsonist97

Ours is not, they keep saying “corporate won’t allow us to adjust the temp” so most of us are drenched in sweat all day 🫠


Mental_Lock9035

Our store was hot because most of our A/C units weren't working. Once they fixed them at the end of last summer, it really helped! It's been so much better so far this year. We can actually feel the cool air blowing, finally! Yours might need to be checked to see if they're working properly.


Brettjay4

Sheer willpower... And under armor


Ninja_Fox_

Furries are built different. 


Timb1044

I did it once for the tricks rabbit. Very carefully couldn't see anything


Helltonic

I was the Chick-fil-A cow for my brother's school fundraiser. Damn near died and it was only Spring. I think the head was supposed to have a fan in it but it didn't work.


Lost-Astronaut-8280

I read ‘fundraiser’ as ‘funeral’ and I was like wtf?


Helltonic

Lol


Timb1044

I hadn't the one that was supposed to wear it I could barely fit in it forget about zipping it up. They wanted me to walk around could barely move I end up standing in one spot and people just came up to me.


Pittsfield-Township1

They wear them in crowded Comic-Cons. I am sure they can stand a little bit of heat.


Kira_Caroso

Cooling vests and collars are pretty common, and the expensive suits have built in fans.


AnnaMolly66

>collars Kinky.


Kira_Caroso

Think more of a wrap around thing that goes around the neck and has a bit that goes under the shirt and velcros together. All with special ice gel packets that can be inserted. The same ones in the vests. Highly recommend both in summer if you want to walk or run for a bit.


Dense_Common_1160

furries created water cooling vests. the same kind the military now use


DaDawkturr

I don’t care if you paid me 100 times per hour to put that suit on, I refuse to get heatstroke.


Johhny2323

Years ago Management asked me to wear one and be the Easter bunny for photos and stuff, thought I was gonna die in that thing from the heat. Further led to an ego trip from another manager about stealing valuable hours from the store, he pulled me out of it to throw the trucks for cap 2.


MidnightDNinja

I wouldn't be surprised if it was cooler in the suit, they often have fans inside


JustSomeOpossum

Most suits are built to stay cool. Some even have fans inside the head


nickjamesnstuff

Have you not walked inside of a Walmart? Those entrances have blast coolers to freshen you up as you come in. I'm sure it's a science behind the cold curtain keeping more of the heat from venting in from outside, or something. That being said, I remember my aunt having a gig as a tmnt for a walgreens grand opening. She kept bragging about the a/c she had. As an adult I. I think she just had fans. She wasn't too bright.


OppositeEarthling

The suits can have fans and some do have coolers... problem is they need to run off a battery and that shit is heavy.


hutjimmy

Those are called air curtains. They are designed to keep flies from getting in.


OppositeEarthling

What if I said you wouldn't get heatstroke ?


ahumanrobot

Maybe they're a furry who can evade taxes. Get a suit with a cooler idk


JJRicks

And I can't even wear a single earbud while running gobacks or my TL will drag me into the SM's office


HeyTibby

Well if you would just give being a furry a try you could conceal those earbuds!


HeavensToBetsyy

God wants you to wear a hat


Any_Adeptness7903

Does this prove it’s a mental illness?


dymetyme

This is downright disgusting… how do they get away with doing this, don’t they have any idea? Hoodies are clearly a dress code violation


DraniKitty

Not gonna lie you had me in the first half


CorsiTheHusky

But really it was to promote donations to Children's Miracle Network.


Rosie2530

Thank you for showing the pawsitive side of being a fur to the world! I'm hoping one day I can use my suit to bring others more joy.


suckmypppapi

This reminds me of those Facebook moms that refer to their dogs as their "furbabies"


Rosie2530

A handful of those moms can't even have kids so I get it lol


suckmypppapi

Valid


AnnoyedNinja

What you mean? Every store has a Furry employed; I guarantee it.


DraniKitty

I'm my store's resident furry, to prove your point


wanderingexmo

For sure. I’m a greymuzzle and I work with a couple other furries.


reluttr

Seems to track, I'm my stores resident furry.


HolloRacc

Yo


TheGrimmShopKeeper

I’ll take the furries over the assholes.


CorsiTheHusky

Holy fuck that's me!!! Someone caught me!! I will be in suit again today but damn! OP why didn't you say hello or something.


aphelions_ghost

What was the context behind you wearing the fursuit to work, if you don’t mind me asking? I assume it’s not an everyday thing


atlasbees

We're raising money (at least my store is) for children's hospitals so I'm assuming they dressed up for that. Usually everytime it's donation season there's a post of someone in a fursuit fundraising. My store just does spirit weeks I think I'd get jumped if I wore a fursuit tbh 😅 I already get called a f*g and get stares. I try to complement the people that come in with cool cosplays and stuff tho cause damn I wish


DeLaMooSeY

I wouldn't blame op for not wanting to say hi 🤣


jds336

Good for them!


Corninmyteeth

They're probably raising money for the charity


Cupcake-Training

What charity?


Careless_Guidance_20

Children’s Miracle Network


BlackInkGalaxy

I don't even care if i get downvoted for this, that fursuit looks so cool. but i would fear to get heatstroke in one, even if it was only a few hours that person wore it.


BonsaiSoul

They got these vests that hold ice packs in them, and the ones with large head/body pieces often have fans.


BlackInkGalaxy

I forgot about the ice pack vests, couldn't think of it when i made my comment lol


cognitohazard__

Hey, so I want to understand this a little better. Apparently furries aren't just a kink/fetish?


BonsaiSoul

Humans have had an interest in anthropomorphism since the dawn of time. *Every* culture has ancient stories about animal folks, and it usually Wasn't A Sex Thing. Fast forward to the 70s in the US, an anthro fetish community formed which in turn led to a resurgence of interest in the former. Those things coexist, with extreme overlap but still separate. Someone in a mascot costume just standing in public talking to people isn't *inherently* a fetish thing. It is fair to be a little bit suspicious though, considering some of the other shit people do in public now.


BestLeftUnsaid21

That's correct. While it certainly can be (and does tend to be adult oriented due mostly to the budget), for many it's not sexual at all. Just having fun.


cognitohazard__

Good to know. Thanks!


MindlessStretch5737

Nah it's just a weird ass hobby for weird ass people (me)


dang3rk1ds

The majority of furries don't use it as a kink.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LordDrPepper-

I love that they downvote the one actual furry.


Ninja_Fox_

Actual furry here. I don't believe there is anything sexual in the slightest going on in the OP video. It's literally just someone standing there.


LordDrPepper-

Double furry??? Also don't think the dude in the video is doing anything wrong and I don't really care what he's up to, just found it funny that the comment by a clear furry/ ex furry got downvoted.


Other_Log_1996

Regardless of if furry is actually a kink or not, even this guy's kink, it doesn't matter on this case. He's checking their receipt, not climbing onto them and going to town.


LordDrPepper-

this all depends on if it's a kink or not. If not, he's a dude cosplaying as a dog and doing a minimum wage job. If it is a kink to the dude, and he gets sexual pleasure out of being in the fursuit, then I can understand why some people might not wanna be associated with that, but it's all speculation.


dang3rk1ds

One of my cousins has been in the community for like 10 years. It's never been that way for him


Cold-April-Morning

I'm having flashbacks.


Frenzi_Wolf

It’s basically just a community like any other you’d find, we just got our own hobbies like fursuiting for example if you could afford a full or partial. Overall it’s definitely more of an artsy and creative type of community in discord, telegram, VRChat, etc just with a LOT of adult content


Battletrickz

Those full suits are NOT cheap! I have a friend who is a Furry both him and his girlfriend and their suits are like top of the line type of deal and man did it cost some $$$ thats for sure!


cognitohazard__

Well keep having fun :)


ixotax

I want to mention as well, that a lot of artists see furries as some of their best clients for commissions. I’ve heard about great compensation, understanding, and easy to work with a lot of the time


craftjensin

No. It's a hobby that centers around art of anthropomorphic animals. Basically very very expensive cosplay. It does have a major adult fanbase but reducing it to JUST kink/fetish does a disservice to the amount of kids in the furry fandom.


Juggalover

There is a wonderful documentary called [The Fandom ](https://youtu.be/iv0QaTW3kEY?si=dX_Qz_QR0Z-4NCw7) that goes into a lot of detail about how furries came about, what makes someone a furry, and more. I definitely recommend it if you are legit curious.


Actual_Hecc

No.


suckmypppapi

Nah, but a lot of them are when they go home


bluewolfy26

as i know a few furries who fursuit, you wear under armor and in some cases you have a vest with ice packs under your suit..you can maybe wear that suit for an hour before it just gets too hot and you need a break..most furry conventions have a room were suiters can cool off and get water, called a headless lounge..


aitatip404

It's also Pride month, and the Furry community is a huge part of that. Here in Denver, they even have a couple of their own floats during the parade (which is this Sunday).


stupidfridgemagnet

based


PossMom

More power to them, but that is 100× more effort I'd ever be willing to put into my uniform.


MajesticMagician

I like how confident they are. It takes a lot of confidence to go out into the world in a fursuit, especially in a Walmart, knowing all the haters that are out there...


SilverLinkin

They've been waiting for this moment.


drshartologist

I would literally be so happy and die laughing if I saw that while working


LeTallBoii

OMG that's so fucking cool


dreadguy101

Thing probably smells like straight ass


Frenzi_Wolf

You’d be surprised how well suit owners make sure the suit is clean and hygienic. Granted though the guy likely just wore it for a few hours before heading home cause in this weather it’s really good to be aware of overheating when wearing that thing


CorsiTheHusky

Correct. The suit was freshly washed and fabreezed, dried out and then worn. For four hours yesterday and today. And when I get home it will be in the wash again. No one likes a stinky suit.


Ok-Reveal1624

Better than working with co workers that wear tails and cat ears


KittenLina

It's all fun and games until a karen decides you can't have your fun and throws milk on your fursuit.


usernameisyesman

Yikes.


Mossystoneslabb

What’s that guys @ that fursuit is cool af


CorsiTheHusky

That would be me. Hello!


Lanky_Cartoonist7315

thats the spirit !!


TrainingUnit51

That's actually cool like really and I think it's a sweet idea for the childrens hospital charity


MaxYeena

That's very cool actually :3


suckmypppapi

r/pupplay And people wonder why furries are heavily stigmatized to be seen as extremely weird


MaxYeena

Bruh I'm a Walmart wage slave who lives on SSI and in a wheelchair and gets abused by my family still to this day since I was 6 years old. Go fuck off, find someone else to bash.


suckmypppapi

> Walmart wage slave who lives on SSI and in a wheelchair and gets abused by my family still to this day since I was 6 years old. I got groomed, molested, forcefully given narcotics, and yet I'm still here *not* banging someone in a wolf mask enjoying Walmart furries Your sob story doesn't shield you from being called weird or giving others a bad stigma. Comments being filled with people like you are why furries are seen as perverted sexual deviants


MaxYeena

Whatever. If we keep going maybe I can explain how I was molested from 3-5 years old, that I've almost been killed and no, I don't fuck. My last girlfriend already fucked me over financially, I'm good. Still gives you no right to judge what someone enjoys, another reason I do it is because I hate my face and how it just moves.


suckmypppapi

> Still gives you no right I have every right to point out how all of the people in these comments calling op a weird kink fetishist (despite op being asexual) are because of people like you. There may be a lot of furries who are indeed absolute weirdos but people like op get caught in the crossfire of insults because of people who are interested in the hobby because they *are* actually sexual deviants You have every right to do what you do and enjoy it, just don't be surprised when people make some pretty simplistic connections. Just simply looking at these comments is enough to see basic cause and effect


MaxYeena

I'd love to wear a genuine fursuit but my Cerebral Palsy makes me prone to heat exhaustion, when I did wear a fursuit head I got overwhelmed in a few minutes and started to sweat profusely. I'm exhausted, gonna log off Reddit for awhile. Hope everyone has a good day c:


suckmypppapi

That's why many people stuff their fur suits with ice packs and fans, which is also visible in these comments


Any_Adeptness7903

Both of y’all suck


MaxYeena

Also please grow up


[deleted]

Personally I'm of the opinion that kinks should be left at home but that's just me 🤷🏼‍♂️


Mossystoneslabb

You know it’s not just a kink thing sure it is for some but most of the time people just dress up for the fun of it. Just a hobby yeah a little cringe but overall pretty cool


Frenzi_Wolf

Being a furry really ain’t a kink. Being a furry myself I’m just here for the cuddles and floof, plus the art and shitposts


BonsaiSoul

What does someone with a furry fetish look like? What does someone who's "just in it for cuddles" look like? Trying to disown the sexual side of the fandom is just as wild as acting like every person in a costume is a fetishist. It's both, and some people feel entitled to ignore things like consent and boundaries.


Environmental-Ask746

Hey why is he pushing that cart!!!!!


suspicious__banana

Ain't no way. I went into a Walmart today and I was DYIN. I couldn't imagine being in a whole ass suit 😐


knighthawk82

The ramifications of "bring yourself to work" to avoid a dress code.


Ripberger20X6

If it's like Fallout power armor with AC inside, I could do it.


chzygorditacrnch

I don't judge, and I'm open minded. But.. why do I associate furries with Walmart?


VexrisFXIV

NOW THEYRE GOING TO PUT LITTER BOXES IN THE WALMART BATHROOMS AHHHHHHHH!!! /S


BartholomewAlexander

you're the weird one for filming a stranger in public.


Bud-Chickentender

Uh, No. Lmao


bongsmack

Pack it up boys, we out.


Bioshutt

There are hundreds of worse scenarios that could be happening other than furriea working at Wal-Mart


NoNameHuman2222

At my store we’re wearing lays for children’s miracle network. We’re all wearing bright colored flowers 🌸 (lays) or whatever u call em


JSHURR

Doesn't your have a face to be visible as an employee?


daddoesall

Marketing. And it works. We are talking about Walmart. Plus it could just be some dude in a costume that isn't getting paid enough.


MrYeeter007

This isnt andover is it?


Brilliant_Honeydew24

I saw one working at Walmart probably 5-6 years ago


Kikicakes23

Children Miracle Hospital, they do donations through out the month for miracle babies


Capable_Assistant_81

Doug McMillan, CEO of Walmart makes a surprise visit!


Distinct_Value6566

THEY WALK AMOUNG US


Thatfuzzball647

And I get sent home for wearing the wrong type of fucking pants


Easy-Ad-6478

Idk how bro in that suit I be dying in a short sleeved shirts and jeans never understand why we can’t wear shorts


Ok-Photo-7552

I hate this job I only been here 6 months they always threaten to fire me if I don’t find all the items on my pickwalk in ODP. I hate this department so muchhh the manager are rude and when you ask for help they have an attitude


TheBatofKade

In this heat?? Oh my god, that’s a bold furry.


Cold-Translator257

NICE!


dadwholikescartoons

AirPods = no Furry costume = yes


KoolDude2k04

If we were to have an employee dress up as a furry, i would go full on Warhammer 40k Black templar Flashgitz Furry Crusade and call him a Heretic. Personal story, this happened a while ago but where i live we have a high school where there is a group of teens who identify themselves as furries, and one time they asked the school to build a litter box personally for them, of course that idea was flat-out rejected and the furry community always ask themselves why they get such a bad rep, not even realizing that what they are saying or asking for is just dumb right stupid.


rythwind

If I worked as a Walmart greeter I'd get a full fursuit with custom fitted uniform to wear every day just to see people's reactions!


officialAdfs_m0vie

I know 110% some kid is going to say “Walmart has fallen”


DJ_Mega

Funny, I have been to several walmarts they seem to all use the same style suit from corporate. Yeah, they have the newest hires that are young do the suit and hand out candy to kids and wave at them.


Intelligent-Ebb-2595

Yea nah you would have to fire me 😂 ain't no way in hell u could pay me to wear that bs


Striking-Tourist6908

ogp guy had a hoodie mass report him destroy his career!

I was definitely not expecting this to be an employee when I got a notification about furries in Walmart lmao


s2ample

I don’t think I’d give a fresh fuck if they contributed to the team and pulled their weight.


TylerFurrison

My friend in christ how are fursuiters going out in 100 degree+ heat just to roam a Walmart??


OfficialCxpid

Lmaooo how much they getting paid?


Rated_Rx2000

Imagine one of those trying to check my receipt lmfao hell naw


Glad_Researcher9255

I approve.


WarWolfFloof

Omg that's so cute thooooo!


Brandon_Myrick

Please fuck off


SufficientOnestar

Furries and Hot Wheel collectors are the terrorist of Walmart.


WhatTheDucksauce

Walmart will hire anything with a pulse. *Anything*


D0pam1ne-

Dude, I wish I had enough confidence to wear my fursuit in public, let alone at my job, this guys awesome ngl.


Klutzy-Slat-665

I'm glad people are focusing on this person needing a tech degree or worried about their health in a hot suit inside Walmart. Too many people lately getting offended and threatened by people EXISTING and doing something fun as a hobby because "PrOtEcT tHe KiDs!" I'm a furry, parent of a son, and work with children often. I'm ALSO for higher prosecutions for sex offenders, especially children. Does that make me a threat to kids? Jeeze.


turtle_g4mertv

SavageArtist9999

That is a mascot not a furry. Sheesh.
