Ads wouldn't be so bad if they weren't repetitive, loud, creepy, or interrupting of the user experience. But that's what ads are.

If big tech was a person they would have gotten arrested for stalking.

Sounds like that Spez person is a very popular porn star.

I poop like 3x a day. I am very intelligent.

FUCK YES. I REALLY MISSED R/THE_PACK

Yeah, that place is trippy. It's not as busy as when the photo was taken though. You just go over a hill and all of a sudden lights everywhere.

I had a friend who was in prison. They charge for everything electric in one way or another. For example. You can send them an email. But you have to pay to send it. And you had to pay for them to have a device and it's batteries for them to read it.

I wasn't going to do that. So I wrote letters and kept them "interesting." My personal favorite was aging paper using tea. Using a feather quill pen. Writing in a mixture of home made ink using black walnut husks, coffee, and some acrylic paint as a binder.

He said they go through all the letters. The one I sent confused the shit out of the guards. And, they asked me not to do it again. But he said it was one of his favorite things he got in prison and the whole wing new about it. Nothing illegal. Just strange. We played D&D together.

Nothing raises morale like a letter. He's out and doing well. He still mentions the letter a fair bit.

I have a very dangerous and lame hobby.

I forage for food. It's a lot of fun trying new things. But it's also really dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.

If you want to do this hobby safely start small. Identify plants in your own yard/park exct. I use an app called plant net, Wikipedia, duckduckgo, Google Earth, foraging sites, to find out where to go. Knowledge of when they grow and what condions they like helps.

Being 100% sure on what you are going to eat is a life and death choice. When in doubt, throw it out.

Feel free to ask me anything if you have questions.

If you ever want to apply for a job that you don't qualify for; act really enthusiastic. Mention it's your dream job exct.

Next, research the contents of the resume. Do a bit of questioning. Specifically if you can look for reviews of products and look up complaints. Like IE "The HP4015 printers are so easy to take apart, they always tend to jam where it pulls up the paper, but if the rollers are replaced they last damn near forever..." They will think you know a lot more about the product.

Try to arrive early and be ready to make small talk. Especially for web cam videos.

With a bit of luck, you can get a job that you probably shouldn't be doing. Take lots of notes and ask questions when training and if you look the part you will be fine.

Other tips:

If you don't want to write a cover letter, put your resume in a sock. This way when they interview you; all they get is a sock.

Edge/IE doing what they do make me want to swap to Linux. Edge is a resource hog and also tries to run in the background during startup. I thought I paid for a computer. Why can't I uninstall this bloatwear easily?

This place is the shit. It's like everyone who actually was active on Reddit moved here. The content is great. The community all hates that guy who banned APIs. It doesn't matter what differences you have. It's anger that causes better things to bloom.

Kind of like potatos. Like I forgot I planted them. I'm constantly finding potatos. I swear I ran them over with a lawn mower. They came back. We came back.

[-] GAMER@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I won't lie. This is better here. More active community. It feels more like the wild west of when reddit was new.

Wait, I had to verify my email. Was there an option to not somewhere?
