Yet another refugee who washed up on the shore after the great Reddit disaster of 2023

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • Except unlike those others, this woman sued (for a bunch of things, not just the card thing), and the judge dismissed all of them saying she displayed a victim mentality over normal office interactions. I'm not faulting people for assuming she's not very likable.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • But anyone who is uninformed to that level is completely unlikely to watch a debate. I mean, if they invested five minutes a night (maybe even a week) listening to the top news headlines, they wouldn't be undecided.

    A debate is probably a waste of everyone's time other than for entertainment value and selling clicks.

  • There's a historical place near my house (Southern California) that was built in 1903 and has a bunch of bas-relief swastikas in the decorations. They have little signs up explaining that the building predates adoption of the symbol by Nazis, but it's really strange to walk around and see them.

  • Well, I think that's incorrect, but neither of us will ever know.

  • The only quibble I have with this is that, as the article points out, projection is generally a subconscious things people do. I firmly believe Trump knows exactly what he's doing and he accuses others first so if they accuse him it looks like "no, you are!" It's just one strategy in his con man book.
