And they all fucking suck.

For me, the cool part is that the vast majority of people can't tell anything has changed.

Also, we can be rather poisonous ourselves.

The disgustingness of carpet is also amazing.

You know it is optional, right?

Everything gets cut up before a pan gets turned on.

But... onions and mushrooms can easily cook as long as you might take to prep everything else, and they just keep getting better.

No plastic in the microwave. (Ceramics and glass only)

Absolutely. Unless I'm drunk, then a frozen burrito miiiight go in with its wrapper on. Fortunately, alcohol provides near perfect immunity to anything I'd be concerned about while sober.

Range has to be clean before and after cooking.

This is a good rule. Ten years from now when I've finally managed to adopt it, I am certain I will remember you fondly and hope you are doing well - how the time flies when you have a clean range, etc.

Edit to add - can't believe I forgot this. I'll eat any leftovers cold and any fully cooked soup or chili cold too. I just don't care.

Also don't care about reheating leftovers - except rice, I barely like it hot, so cold is a definite no.

I'll add mine here, it's pretty straightforward: TURN THE FUCKING MICROWAVE DOWN YOU NEANDERTHAL!

and don't fuck with sync writes

We're just word predictors too.

No, I don't think so.

It is awful, but think of culture like software. In fact, think of it like Microsoft software.

That was close, wow. I really admire your composure in zero gravity.

You went from "MITM TLS is child's play" to "there are some ways we can social engineer our way around it if the stars align just right" in like one post. You're clearly not qualified here, stop with the FUD bullshit.

Ok, cool - do we have astroturfing on lemmy now?

pfSense has a very good record, but OpenBSD's record and code quality are literally unparalleled.

Conversely, I spend a fair bit of time working on devices made by SonicWall, Fortinet, etc. and it's all fucking garbage.

Are you concerned about it being designed in China in addition to the conventional and thoroughly ubiquitous "manufactured in China"? Please explain your concerns in detail.

With Google it's usually just rm name

What about when they do return the favour, though?

As someone who has spent a fair bit of time on the other side of this issue, I've found people tend to assume I'm being shitty even as I am actively going out of my way to accommodate and support them.

One time I moved someone from hourly to salary because he was very receptive to guidance and was learning very quickly - essentially I didn't want him to be compared on hourly terms as his pay increased, since the cap for more independent salaried employees was much higher. I was kinda risking my own ass in doing this since he had neither experience nor education, but I saw incredible potential, and felt it made sense. As part of this, to ensure he wouldn't be shortchanged by the conversion, I had payroll add 5K when they switched him. I expected this would be well received, but he had so many concerns that made absolutely no sense. We got through it, but in the end it seems he thought that all of the extra time I was spending personally to teach him a new role and help him get from ~40K to 100K within a year and a half was something to be wary of.

I have many stories like this. Sometimes when I feel hurt by people I've been so loyal to, I get urges to stop being compassionate and stop prioritizing their concerns so heavily. I don't think I'll ever change, but it is extra exhausting to go through this stuff over and over only to be lumped in with folks who do treat people like shit.

Perhaps the model is just fundamentally broken, and there's no way to win as long as there is any sort of power differential in the relationship (implied or otherwise). More and more I feel that that is what I'm up against, and no amount of concern for an employee's wellbeing will ever be able to overcome this.

So, my question is not rhetorical - I realize this isn't my post, but I'm super curious about others' perspective on this: are you open to the idea that at some point in your career someone might actually care about your wellbeing? Will it matter to you, or just ... get whatever you can, and never stop trying to fuck the system?

Yeah. This prevented me from getting the simple joke on my own. Now I'm angry at OP.

hey can u tell me how

ok that sounds like what i need

...where it belongs!
