Dusty old bones, full of green dust.

  • I would be much more embarrassed having a potent punani than buying products. 🤷🏿‍♀️

  • Kiwi!

  • Summit.

  • I thought everyone was dealing with it. Like, mine happens to be ice cream, someone else gets mudbutt from chicken wings or something. But we keep going because flavor demands sacrifice.

    Turns out that was not the case. 🙃

  • Lmfao

    Like, he is really sucking on those toes in that video. To be a fly on the wall when he saw it.

  • I didn't realize I was lactose intolerant for the longest time. I just assumed everyone had some food that gave them the booboos and it was just the price of living. I thought intolerance was synonymous with allergy, and since it didn't kill me, I just assumed I didn't have it.

    How I found out:

    Me: I sure do love ice cream. Sucks that it makes me stomach hurt.

    Friend: So you're lactose intolerant?

    Me: Oh, no, no. Ice cream and milk have just always messed up my stomach.

    Friend:

    Me:

    Friend: That's what lactose intolerance is.

  • Growing up a weeb ripped that bandaid off pretty early. If I like it, I like it. 👍🏾

  • I blame Forensic Files.

  • Thanks for catching up to the rest of the class. 🙄

  • The problem is I lost the person I wanted to be while becoming who I had to be. That person is lost to me now. 🤷🏿‍♀️

  • Absolutely. But I work from home, so it's way easier.

  • Best I can do is listen to an audio book while playing a chill/puzzle game. I would short circuit I'd had to watch TV and play a game. I can't even really have a conversation and play, I have to pause it.

  • It used to be the French Revolution when I was in my 20's, but I've always liked talking about musicals. I'm not musically talented in any compacity, but I enjoy the stories and picking out repeating motifs, digging into the source (if there is one).

    Also 🏴‍☠️

  • I didn't even know Buzzfeed was still a thing. All I ever heard about was anyone with any speck of talent leaving.

  • The dentist?

    (Tone doesn't carry, so I'm asking like, do you mean the guy on the left/dentist, not "the dentist!?, if that makes any sense.)

  • Trump: I have concepts of a plan.

    This guy: Oh boy, I hope those concepts survive his term!

  • You know what, I can get behind that. Rock on not that you needed my approval lmao. 👍🏾

  • I don't think you need to do it purely on technical ability, but I think the question seems to align too much with your personal opinion of how the employee should be and that makes it seem like you're looking for a duplicate of yourself/another employee versus just a good fit. I think "tell me about yourself/what you do outside work" is a question that could get you the same information without it being so pointed. Asking about a specific genre, show, etc. automatically puts anyone with a different genre, hobby, etc. at a disadvantage based off of something that doesn't appear to corelate to their talent or fit. I think even without knowing it, you could make assumptions if you don't like the answer, or if they just don't enjoy reading.

    low key in my feelings cause I don't read Sci fi lol

  • No.

    You say that a lot of people applying feel alien to you. Why not attempt to bridge the gap instead of forcing them into your persecption of what a software designer should be like in their free time. I'm sorry that you don't work with people who have the same passion, but people shouldn't be punished because they're just trying to make money. It's a job, not their family or friends. Wanting to climb the ladder is not a bad motivation to work.

    Try and take a step back, maybe even put the shoe on the other foot. Would you feel okay if you weren't hired because you didn't partake in a certain hobby? What if the person hiring you thinks you should be a Star Trek fan of the highest order, or that they think you need to be up to date on philosophy. That's just not a reason to deny someone a job imo and it's not fair. I low key see it as boomer behavior to include something like a hobby as a factor in hiring.
