I feel like I’m alone with this one, but if you have options, swallow your pride and take them. It’s a paycheck, and can always lead to something better. I took a paycheck job at a retail store and I’m on the management team. Is it something to brag about? God no, it sucks. But my bills are paid and I can advance.

Is it me, or can anybody else tell from the tone where the guy was jerking while writing the review?

The shot in the car is top tier.

Never went back. Still haven’t.

I have ADHD. In most of my formative years, I was on Ritalin and it wrecked my mental health. In high school, I pulled myself off it and my school grades tanked. I regret not finding an alternative other than “Caffeine makes me think somewhat right.”

So I really have to wonder if the insurance required to run these places is over-priced as well.

Tiffany, but go by Tiff

I would watch that. I loved that show for the first few seasons.

The problem with the reboot wasn’t that it was bad or didn’t follow storylines, was that it was made for a different audience than the original show and/or comics and then forgot to tell that old audience. Watching it from the outside, it was hilarious and well written.

In Time. I love that movie.

I have a vim setup with plenty of plugins that honestly, I don’t know if I need anymore.

Creamed corn. Disgusting to eat on its own, but I’ll use it in my corn chowder.

In other words, management knows your job is bullshit and that is the exact reason for your job.

This.

I’ve never heard of that. What is it?

After reading what I wrote, I do admit I wasn’t saying the exact question I get annoyed with. It’s when I am asked what brought me to apply specifically to that company. And it’s rather difficult to come up with a better answer than the truth of I have 40 applications this week alone, you were one of them.

I was an avid RPG player, collecting games and running with friends at clubs and stores and everybody’s houses. But as many of these friends have fallen away and trends have shifted, and as I get older it’s harder to make new friends for hanging out, I need to start reevaluating my hobby.

I miss phone screening. I wish I could just let all calls go to my answering machine and if the caller is leaving a legit message about something I could pick up, or if the caller was a telemarketer or someone I didn’t want to talk to, let them think I wasn’t home. Now, if someone calls and I don’t pick up, I have to explain that the phone was in another room and I didn’t hear it even though everyone knows I’m on Lemmy 24/7.

Iirc, there was talk of getting the android core to sync back to Linux and send plenty of code upstream. The project was supposed to take plenty of time as android had strayed very far away from its Linux origin. I have no idea what happened and when the project stopped.
