In academia (my line of work) they’re required to have positions posted and open for a certain amount of time, interview a certain number of applicants, etc.
In theory, it’s for equal opportunity and finding the best person for the job.
In practice, it’s a waste of time, money, and hope.
We are deeply honored to have received your application (which we did not bother to read).
We’re sorry we didn’t hire you, but also never contact us again.
Signed,
Someone in HR who has nothing to do with this process.

I like to say that everyone is deserving of respect, but few are deserving of deference.
You can buy something like this here in the US.
The roll is smaller, and they market it as being made for camping (takes up less space in the pack, etc). It also, of course, costs more because of this, since modern camping gear loves to price gouge.
If you’re going to pack TP though, just spool what you need around something smaller in diameter (like a skewer). Or if you know what you’re doing then just use leaves instead, those are free.
I regularly see 2 on my commute. I wouldn’t exactly notice that I have a similar commute to other people, but a Cybertruck sticks out.
1 of them has been painted a matte black that looks like a chalkboard (good luck to them when the road salt comes out) and the other is the regular finish.
Either way, I’m always thinking about just how fucking dorky the things look compared to everything else on the highway.
And it’s not like they’re using it for anything cool. They’re both just stuck in the same traffic as the rest of us.
