Ninja is not an obsolete job! They've just become so stealthy and cunning that no one realizes they're still around 🥷🫥
Ignoring the joke, it is actually obsolete. The last ninja family refuses to name a successor, pass on certain techniqies, etc. so technically, no more official ninja
I don't know... That sounds like just the sort of thing an ancient ninja clan would want you to think...
That's what they want you to believe.
Well that sucks. If there are never goin to be ninjas again the least the family could do is write down all the secret techniques for histories sake.
How's Splinter supposed to teach his turtle boys now? We're just about getting to the good mutagen technologies!
Only a wannabe fake would claim to be a "ninja" !
Come on that's like talking about fight club...
Dont forget "computer"
Hidden Figures should be required reading (required viewing?) for anyone in STEM
Well fuck. I'm a useful man..
Looks like that's useless :/
You were simply transformed into a handyperson.
It wasn't the same as a handyman. The title "useful man" was for a servant who'd never actually serve the master.
Today it'd be a "runner" or some kind of "assistant to the assistant"
A Go-fer
Holy shit, is this why lowly assistants are colloquially called gophers?!? I never drew the connection. Sometime we just take weird words or phrases for granted without thinking about their etymology.
Does a priest hunter find new priests, or is it a person who kills priests?
First one; then the other.
Turns out they were basically bounty hunters for Catholic priests during Elizabeth I's reign.
Which "for"?
Bounty hunters searching for Catholic priests.
Bounty hunter working for Catholic priests.
There’s a podcast called Jobsolete that covers, as the name implies, obsolete jobs! It’s inactive now but they have an ok size catalog that it’s worth going back and listening.
So the podcast is now obsolete?

They said we don't need toad doctors anymore, but I'm not so sure.
Is the doctor treating sick toads, or treating sick people using toads? Both? Maybe it's just a pejorative and real toads aren't involved all
Them: You're a ninja? I didn't realize you all still existed. You: Thank you
Huh, no wonder anyone's so damn useless 🤣
Sign me up to be a priest hunter.
If you’re a dude who hunts handsy priests using ninjitsu, I’d consider you a useful man…

Doesn't sound like a bad life!
Professional mourners are very much still a thing. Had them at a few funerals I attended. Very awkward to see them more invested into crying for the departed than the family. Some of the family members also seemed to think so, but hey, it's tradition and respectful of the dead.
Damn I wanna be a high priestess of athena polias
That's okay, I'm not a useful man.
