You know, I've had this debate with other managers at work. One was incensed because he got a resume that listed being a raid leader, and thought it was ridiculous. I told him I used to be a WoW raid leader and, even though it's a game, it requires explaining encounters to people who might not be familiar with them, getting ten or more people to follow a game plan, staying calm when things aren't going to plan, and a whole lot of other skills that are useful in the workplace. I've never thought to put it on my own resume, but I think it's pretty valid.

That bit never got old.

Paul Rudd?

I review a lot of resumes. When it's for someone right out of school or very early career, it makes sense for them to include things like fast food work or retail. But it seems really strange when someone with decades of relevant experience (I hire software engineers) includes it.

Ugh, I started in the middle of June last year and I have over 3K. Apparently I have no life.

Glad you enjoyed it, it's one of my favorites.

I'm not sure if there's a name for it, but there's a style of story telling (not exclusive to SF) where the writer jumps right into the universe they've created without any explanation, and it's impossible to fully understand everything at first. My wife is always a bit frustrated by those, even when she ultimately enjoys the book.

Your written English is great, especially if it's not your first language. Did you start very young?

So what are you planning to read next?

We will never be zero COVID, but the pandemic crisis is over. Hospitals aren't overcrowded to the breaking point, the vaccines are pretty effective, and it's much less deadly. We're managing it like the flu. None of that was true under Trump.

When I started on Lemmy after the Reddit exodus, I started by browsing by All, subscribing to communities that looked interesting, and blocking communities that I didn't want to see. I figured I'd eventually move to browsing by Subscribed, but more than a year later and I still browse by All. Removing the communities I didn't want to see, especially the overly prolific meme communities, and blocking the posting bots has made browsing New just fine.

So I guess I see duplicate communities assuming there are posts and I haven't blocked them.

I'm wondering if people are confused about your comment because they are missing the fact that Musk is literally an African American (American now, originally from Africa).

No one gives someone "a bunch" of gift cards - it seems like you're racing to validate your dislike of them. And I'm going to feel weird if my sister invites me to get a massage with her, though I appreciated it when she gave me a prepaid one years ago.

Here's another example. My brother barely makes ends meet, but he loves Starbucks. Of I give him $100 cash, is not going to move the needle for his cost of living, but it's going to go to bills. Of I give him $100 on a Starbucks card, he's going to treat himself a bunch of times to something he loves but can't really afford.

The other thing about it is that cash usually gets interpreted as "I put no thought into what to get you," while a gift card at least says you had something in mind.

Ah, okay, thanks

People say a lot of things. I can't begin to grasp your motives.

I think you have an agenda to push Trump - no clue what your motives are.

I'm a manager at a large aerospace and defense company. We had a hybrid arrangement where most people (who didn't have to touch hardware) could work from home a couple days a week. Most people seemed to think it was pretty reasonable. There really are benefits to in person collaboration, so some on site days seemed to make sense.

We recently moved to fully RTO, and I find it frustrating. It's not a big deal personally - I live close and I'm older - but it pisses off a lot of the employees, who see no good reason for it. I don't see any notable productivity increase moving from three to five days on site, it just makes my management job harder.

And you realize that a hunk of his popularity is because of blatant, I mean extremely blatant, propaganda, right? You have outlets like Fox refusing to run anything negative and continuing to air verifiably false information, and they aren't the worst offender, just the most popular.

You could have said the exact same stuff about the climate deniers. Almost half of people believed them, so they couldn't be wrong. It's just an opinion that they're harmful. There's nothing illegal about airing their nonsense.

Again, you do you, but let's be up front about what you're about here.

Okay, so you really are like those news organizations giving the air time to climate deniers. "Just airing the opposing view," even though that view is bullshit and destructive.

Got it, thanks for the clarification.

Who said anything about it being illegal or a violation? I was just pointing out that you keep saying you didn't vote for him but you keep spamming giant amounts of positive press for him.

The most charitable I can be towards you is that you're like the press who would keep giving air time to the "scientists" who argued against the notion that humans were causing climate change, even though they were less than one percent of the scientific community. Lots of people came away thinking it was a big debate among scientists when it wasn't, and that contributed to the problem we have today.

More likely, I think, is that for whatever reason you're trying to get Trump elected and so you're doing the disingenuous Joe Rogan thing of trying to look unbiased while pushing an agenda.

Yet you're responsible for more posts that cast Trump in a positive light than anyone I can think of. For someone who says he's not for Trump, you seem to be working hard to get him elected.

Because then anal sex would just be too weird.

My dad was a contractor and he had a big sheet of it in the garage that was leftover from some job. It looked kind of like a sheet of drywall, but was grey and rougher. I used to take it into the back yard with a little blow torch and and lay on it while I melted metal things. I was probably ten to twelve at the time.

It was a different time.
