  Yeah or they’re really introverted they’ll at least use their imagination to disassociate.

  Like I used to look around and imagine little beings making their way around objects and walls. Or looking into the distance and imagining things farther away were right in front of me, but the same size — so now you’ve got a miniature waiter running around the table, trying to catch the little beings.

  My ability to zone out probably masked a lot of brain problems, but it did also make me a champ at sitting in waiting rooms while having the time of my life.

  There are certainly nice and polite people everywhere, but decency is a matter of ethics in this context, I would say. At least that’s how I’m reading it.

  Like I’m a nice guy, but I’m not going to pretend it’s decent of me to replace data workers with software automation, even if it’s just the natural outcome of me putting my education into practice.

  The ownership class and their mba lackeys have done a real bang up job not only separating the two cultures, but getting them both to think through the mental model of business and profit whenever they’re pondering how to practice their profession.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a fact checker⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s definitely one sense, and the one that’s actually an issue. But I’ve read enough headlines and yt subject lines to pick up on there also being some muddying of the waters with romantic female companionship. Or rather lack thereof as being a key part of the crisis.

  Thanks for reminding me of some great memories showering with my dad. We would have these like endurance contests with the cold water lol.

  With my partner I kind of squish myself against the wall so we have the water pouring between us. But you’re right it’s not as easy as just trending to yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🎶 picture this we we're both butt naked banging on the bathroom door 🎶⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Other people don’t just shower together for fun? Shower sex is awful, but tandem showering is lovely. Even used to shower with roommates back in the days.

  Doing your own research involves trusting experts, but if the findings are easy to verify, like looking up number of open positions to students ratio, then it’s a good idea to just check.

  I understand you’re probably saying they’re a bot or a spammer, but I really don’t see it. Is it just because they share a bunch of links in a short amount of time?

  I’m confused what your actual problem with their posts is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speeding overtaking driver who left cyclist with life-changing injures in “horrendous” hit-and-run crash jailed for four years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Anything wrong with their behaviour or what they’re sharing? Looks all relevant and organic to me.

  Thanks for taking the time to explain all that.

  I’m really sorry you have to deal with that.

  I’m bad at personal admin, so I would be so lost if I had to manage my own healthcare logistics. It really is a crime what rich people put you through over there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes home⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny old world, isn’t it? It sounds like you’re at an inflection point in your life. You’ve got all your data, and now you just have to make a decision. From my perspective the better decision seems obvious, hence why I felt compelled to offer my unsolicited opinion.

  It’s funny that you mention you and your Wife are from ex-Soviet countries — maybe this is a stereotype, but in my personal experience the drive to excel and chase wealth seems to really take root in some ex-Soviet people or their children, even the ones who have nostalgia for socialism.

  Maybe it’s no more than the normal rate but the juxtaposition makes it stand out, though.

  I wish you good luck in your decision!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same, I couldn’t take it. It’s hard to be in that position without feeling like a traitor.

  Actually both times I got laid off my managers took the day off to hide while HR did their wetwork, only reaching out later to gush about how bad they felt.

  Kind of cowardly tbh, but I get it—that’s why we aren’t managers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I still got laid off, just later in the day.

  I think it messed with their plans to lock me out of everything after the meeting. Must be logistically challenging lining up all those layoff meetings. 🙄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes home⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to stay in my kitchen forever lol.

  I’m fortunate to have had a great childhood full of love and community, but I don’t want to be a child, you know? I don’t want to go back to, like, a cocoon.

  Maybe I’m reading into some of these comments, or maybe I just have a different nostalgia. Just leaving this comment for anyone else who’s a bit weirded out. 👋

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes home⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds like you’re comfortable enough to be debt free, but still chasing after something more, despite already having it right there in your backyard.

  I don’t think you realize how little money you need in order to have a fulfilling life. You can live in the nice neighbourhood and take a low paying, stable job, be frugal, get good insurance, and enjoy the advantages of your class position.

  Pardon me if this comes off as overly prescriptive or nihilistic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MD = oMega Dumbass⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah like where is her degree from? They should be ashamed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this matches my experience. HR person is always the one to have a bottle of whisky squirreled away for a good time.

  I’ve been let go twice. It’s shitty, but I realise they have very little power in a situation like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy be like⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll keep an eye out but I don’t have votes visible, so can only really tell sentiment from comments.

  Aside, but I highly recommend hiding vote counts. They’re even more pointless here than they were on redit. They’re meaningless noise on the frontend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know a couple hr people personally, and they speak in a kind of coded manner at work. Some of them will legitimately try to help you out, but of course the nature of their profession means they can never be a true ally. Not for long, anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy be like⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean they were right about the internet. The corporations turned most of it into a cluster of competing megamalls that make people anxious while selling them things.

  Never mind that even just open a port 443 anywhere in the world will open you up to roving bands of OC scrapers, which feed the next evolution of corp power.

  It’s not like a bunch of basement nerds made LLMs and now corps are trying to muscle in (like with the internet). This new technology is theirs, from its R&D to now its aggressive rollout across all sectors of the Internet they control.

  I don’t have much hope for the commercial AI or LLM services that are available to most consumers. I think they’re going to enshittify so bad that we’re going to need a new word for it.
