    What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?

    Jump

  • IP? Do you mean imaginary property? If so, I agree. I think that ideas and culture should be shared. I understand the stated goal (protect individual inventors from being exploited by huge corporations) but that's not how it's played out. It's used as a tool of control by powerful companies to stifle innovation. Ask any 3d printer hobbyist if they like stratysus. (I effing hate them) there should be some mechanism to protect inventors but this isn't it.

  • What is a book that you will gladly read again?

    Jump

  • Books. Multiple.

    The Practice Effect by David Brin. It's an isekai (it's not anime, but it's an isekai) where things get MORE useful when you use them, reversing entropy.

    Sentenced to Prism. MC is sent on a mission to a world inhabited by silicate based life forms. Shenanigans ensue. Mildly autistic coded MC.

    Resurrection Inc. The dead are resurrected as mindless zombie robots. Sometimes it goes wrong and the dead regain their memories. The MC does. Hijinks ensue.

    edit - more

    Mistborn Chronicles - an orphan gets super powers in a very messed up world. A group recruits her for a heist.

  • Are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?

    Jump

  • Lemmy more. The default comment sorting means there's a chance that my comment will be at the top and therefore discussion can happen. On reddit, past a certain amount of comments, I don't bother. No one will see it.

  • Anybody pulling off any good April Fools jokes?

    Jump

  • I still remember when blizzard made guitar hero bard class. The community loved it and wanted it to be real.

  • What would you do if you had a time machine ?

    Jump

  • Tell my grandfather to get his heart checked out. He died too young. I'd love to see just how much sense he'd beat into my father, who is a complete garbage can of a person.

  • What are your thoughts on paternity leave?

    Jump

  • The "work yourself to death" is a stupid boomer concept. It's a hugely negative aspect of traditional masculinity.

    When people say weird stuff like this, I always question why. Why would you have a kid and then work so hard to be away from it? Why would you work for a company that will lay you off the moment it earns them a higher stock price to do so? (no modern company deserves your loyalty.) Why would you brag about suffering instead of relaxing?

    I understand that we're all wired differently but those values literally don't make sense to me.

  • How are you doing?

    Jump

  • This is my life story. Every day, I understand more and get closer to "old man lives alone with his dog in the woods"

  • is it wrong to ask a former coworker for help getting in touch with a hiring manager

    Jump

  • Oooh this may be it. I've been told before that I do this. (the first paragraph)

  • If Bob feels wronged somehow take him out for a drink or dinner or so

    I don't think Bob is ever gonna return my calls, heh.

  • is it wrong to ask a former coworker for help getting in touch with a hiring manager

    Jump

  • It does sound like maybe buying Bob a beer

    lol, I don't think Bob is ever gonna talk to me again.

  • is it wrong to ask a former coworker for help getting in touch with a hiring manager

    Jump

  • Was Bob upset because he didn’t know that was your intent

    I don't think so. I'm pretty up front about my goals. I messaged Bob and said that I am looking for a job and I want to ask Alice questions. Literally. "Could you introduce me or send my contact info over? I'd like to get an inside perspective about the work environment and ask more about the job."

    I then asked questions like "can you introduce me to the hiring manager or send my contact info their way? Additionally, what's the work culture like? Are bosses on your case all the time or are they asking how they can help? Do people like working there or does everyone complain? What's the work hours like?"

  • is it wrong to ask a former coworker for help getting in touch with a hiring manager

    Jump

  • I would have probably thanked Bob and dropped him from the email before asking Alice questions.

    I usually do this. I even said that directly. "I don't wanna clog up Bob's inbox, so can we talk directly?" Alice didn't accept direct communication, though, and replied via CC, so I went with it. Oh well.

  • Anyone know a working Script or something to delete tweets in mass for free?

    Jump

  • Thanks, I'll try these.

  • ah, thanks

  • Former redditors, how do you feel the conversations on lemmy differ than the ones you've observed on reddit?

    Jump

  • I never comment on posts >100 comments. They'll never get seen. Here? There's a good chance to reply.

  • What good communities are blocked by some instances that I might be missing out on?

    Jump

  • That's because anti trans bigotry isn't tolerated. GTFO.

  • If you lived in the star trek universe what would you change ?

    Jump

  • And circuit breakers or fuses. Stop storing fireworks in the control panels.

  • What are some good ad-free podcasts?

    Jump

  • I really enjoy Making It and am a patreon subscriber. It's Jimmy Diresta, Bob "I Like to Make Stuff" Clagett, and David Picutto (FKA The Drunken Woodworker). They talk about being makers, being on youtube, being middle aged, etc. Ep 469 just came out, so it's got some staying power.

  • What's the longest you've gone without seeing family?

    Jump

  • Depends on how you define family. Childhood family, going on 5 years and it's gonna be longer.
