I believe he said he started with Mint then moved to Arch, partially because of the memes.

There was a gigantic one back in March, killed over a thousand. A building in Bangkok, Thailand even collapsed.

Not like Myanmar hadn't already been bombing their citizens up to and after the quake though .

I love the song, especially the cover by Ripe, but I don't remember a mention of Lola being black? I know she had a "dark brown voice" at least

Honestly yeah, that was it for me. Seeing him get elected this time was really this feeling of "Oh, that's just how it is over there huh?".

The first time I could just believe your voting systems are messed up with the electoral college and all, and the massive push back that happened. Feelings were also optimistic coming off the Obama years.

But now that he's spent the last several years fully mask off, investigated up and down revealing all the crazy things we'd been hearing about him and his cronies were true, and he still gets elected? By majority vote too?? There's no excuses.

The US is actually just like that huh?

Not saying you ARE definitely neurodivergent, but difficulty with jokes and sarcasm to the extent you're describing is not neurotypical behavior. Basically, no, the behavior is not normal, it's atypical.

Regarding your longer comment, having rigid, unconventional, self-made rules is another behavior I see in a lot of the neurodivergent individuals I work with. Again, not saying you definitely are neurodivergent, but these are not neurotypical behaviors

Not exactly neurotypical behavior, particularly if it's all the time. Working with the neurodivergent community, difficulty sensing jokes and sarcasm is something I see a lot. Just worked with a child who was pretty distraught with all the April fools jokes going on with their peers and not being able to tell what's real or not

The cover by the band Ripe is absolutely amazing.

What an incredibly polite way of saying "Bitch, we already got military agreements with you wtf you saying, dumbass?"

I legit had the same thought just yesterday. I'm typically very hard on myself about doing a good job with my work and meeting my own expectations, but seeing Hegseth et al. play down Signal-gate got me thinking, I have never in my life fucked-up that bad and these fuckers still have the confidence to say they're good at their jobs, and that makes me feel better.

There's still some toxicity around Buddhism at least. Living in SEA I now know several people who are really turned off by the practices and beliefs of their family's religion, Buddhism, from the way all troubles are explained away as karma to neurodiversity and Learning Differences being hidden because that would mean that person did something bad in their past life.

I used to think Buddhism specifically was the "good" religion that's more like philosophy, but spending more time with people who grew up deep in Buddhism has made me see there's really more to the community and it's beliefs and practices than I thought.

I agree with this advice of having someone take a look at your resume. Way back, I had an older friend of mine with experience managing CV's help me work on mine and even the base template of my cover letters. I've done a number of interviews, mostly unsuccessful though I'm happy with where I'm at now, and one consistent thing I've heard is that I have an impressive resume, and I'm forever thankful to my friend for helping me put it together.

I don't quite agree on customizing your CV for every submission, but I do do this for my cover letter/correspondence.

Also, yes, reaching out directly to places you want to work with has worked for me a couple of times. If there are hiring/networking events for your field, even online ones, I'd recommend that too. Best success I've had landing interviews is through these kind of events and I've only done online ones.

I'm in South East Asia, seen them in different countries here, mostly in malls but even in my current apartment building. Feels very Cyberpunk even just walking by and hearing it.

Beats the ads on screens I see playing in many elevators...

Columbia University PhD student Ranjani Srinivasan calls accusations that she’s a ‘terrorist sympathizer’ absurd, telling CBC’s David Common that she feared for her safety after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials showed up at her door.

That's the entire text with a 7 minute video on the page.

Newsworthy and valuable info in this climate, but I can't be the only one who gets frustrated when a news site posts basically just a video and no actual article. Maybe just a personal gripe

I'm taking a sick day too. Except for the first time in nearly a decade, my current employer doesn't require a doctor's note for anything less than 3 days.

Honestly, most doctors just give you a note if you go in no matter what anyway, so I've always felt that it's more about your workplace tracking you than trying to make sure you're alright. The need for a doctor's note doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Sucky, relatable situation, you got my sympathy

Oh, so if it's going to be down voted anyway, then a lot of down votes feels good? Guess that's more validating than a middling response

I spent two years in Saudi Arabia in the early 2000s and was hearing stories like this even back then as a kid. I remember some kids even put on a skit involving maid abuse for some kind of social justice style project (I don't remember the specifics) so it was a well known enough issue even then. Terrifying stuff and disgusting that they still hey away with it.

I guess getting people to rage can feel validating, knowing that I've made someone rage quit a game feels satisfying for sure.

I don't personally feel that way about sites like Lemmy/Reddit/Social-media in general where things are more discussion and social-interaction based though. I guess for my kind of discourse goals, if I've made someone angry rather than laugh or understand my perspective, I've done a bad job.

Genuinely curious, does that mean that, for you, getting downvoted gives you dopamine/a sense of accomplishment?

Your above comment is in the negative when I'm making this comment. Does that feel good? Again, genuinely curious, hard to put a non-judgemental tone in writing.

I can't relate to that feeling, upvotes and downvotes to me show how much a community agrees or disagrees with what I've said. Either what I said isn't right for the community I posted it in or maybe just a generally unpopular opinion if I'm getting downvotes. Might make me reflect but usually no big deal, I'm mostly here for the discussions, memes and current events. Outside of trolling I don't really see how getting downvoted might be seen as a good thing by a poster.
