  • Damn man, I sympathize.

  • Not sure if it counts as a first day, but a third interview had me gone. I was quite late and they told me I was out of the running. Reasonable enough, but the company was in the middle of a move, so this interview was in a different location across town from the first two, and the only indication of where it was taking place was a tiny sign stuck in the ground. I must have circled the parking lot 10 times.

    It was for the best because I later learned the work conditions there were rotten.

  • Seems like a good deal if it proactively convinces bad actors to stop from reaching out

  • What???

  • Bashing denizens who decide to denote their sarcasm is as /stupid as bashing those who don't. "Oh no, now that the tone has been set the point is ruined!" Gosh, it must suck to be you, I'm genuinely sorry this is the way your brain works.

  • Eh, it's all just personal choice (until someone starts scraping Lemmy for LLM or otherwise mining for data).

    • sent from Firefox on Windows on VMware on Linux
  • N-no...

  • I could be misremembering and I'm not going to look it up right now, but I believe Payday 2 lost to corpo greed long ago when they added a bunch of microtransactions. There was also something about the original devs being screwed over if memory serves.

  • Dogs are omnivores; cats, on the other hand, are obligate carnivores.

  • Hey there, how's it going?

    "Good!" - feeling alright

    "Hanging in there" - feeling a little rough but pulling through

    "It's going" - bad/tired (existential)

  • What, no way, that's craaazy...

  • It is narrated, "eventually, the Kens would go on to have the same power in Barbieland that women have in the real world" (paraphrased). It's basically kind of a joke and, perhaps more specifically, a reminder that positive change doesn't happen overnight. I think it would be a bit... antithetical to spend the whole movie exploring the issues with a supposedly perfect system and then end by saying "okay we fixed it everything is perfect now".

  • Sounds like you don't need it!

  • As a beard haver: them things are sharp when freshly cut. I experience this on a semi regular basis. Helps to soak your finger sometimes, then you gotta be careful not to break it when you pull it out.

  • I have never strongly identified as any particular religion, so if that is where you're coming from this answer might not be helpful.

    My parents both came from religious backgrounds, but they decided not to force me into any particular faith. When I was about 8, I started attending a Unitarian Universalist church, which certainly has religious tones but is very specific about accepting all kinds of faiths, choosing instead to focus on community.

    As a result, I've been exposed to many different kinds of faith. I don't tend to believe any creation myths or creators myself, at best I am agnostic. But I do believe that faith is an integral part of the human experience. Faith and hope are inextricably tied together, even if they don't both show up to every family dinner, to strain a metaphor.

    I may not have faith in a god or gods, but I find that sometimes I have faith in my fellow man. I hope the goodness of humanity will prevail. In much smaller terms, I have faith in my friends; I know that they will have my back when I need it. Every time I take a risk, I have at least a little faith that I'll be okay at the end, or at least that I can pick myself back up.

    Humans rely on faith for a lot of things, and in my opinion, that doesn't have to look like God.

  • The problem is that multiple unrelated communities also saw a surge of old memes when the original community blew up

  • In the middle of a move, I hope to homelab a setup at my new location but currently a newb (essentially). Can't use this yet but upvoting for coolness.

  • There is a way to see up votes on Lemmy if you're an instance admin, which isn't a super high hurdle. But point taken. Still a bit funny to see how directly his usage informs the mechanics of Twitter.

  • Most swood. Big ups.
