- Comment on I'm so goddamn sick of this fat, orange, narcissistic asshole and I will celebrate when he dies 3 days ago:
Best brand of rum I’ve ever tried. Their Jamaican casks are my favorites, and the OFTD Overproof and 3 Stars for when I can’t find those.
- Comment on Keeping that MFer on its toes 4 days ago:
No no no, it’s called intermittent fasting
- Comment on How would you quickly describe Lemmy to a non-fediverse person? 1 week ago:
I found it pretty easy by explaining that if reddit is a website, then Lemmy is a search engine that just has the same feel as reddit.
It isn’t accurate, but gets the point across to those who don’t understand tech.

I feel like the meme would be better without the comment
- Comment on Happy Monday, everyone! 3 weeks ago:
Well it isn’t going to get done by itself
- Comment on Microsoft reportedly mulls ad-infested free Xbox Cloud Gaming plan — Game Pass Ultimate subscriber allegedly catches ad during game loading 3 weeks ago:
Gonna take the time to plug network-wide ad blocking with Pi-hole or something similar.
- Comment on what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly? 3 weeks ago:
Of course lol obviously I want a team member that works hard and is motivated. But also, people can change. Things happen in their lives that change their motivations and needs.
If they just want money, that’s fine, but I’ve seen and experienced how pushing someone who is working decently (or great, even) can cause their performance to tank if they didn’t want to be pushed in first place.
Managing large teams is less about managing their work and more about managing the people so that they can work more effectively.
- Comment on what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t control the hiring process and I don’t control the incoming members of my team, so don’t assume I’m an idiot. My team has excellent performance and I was able to get approval for my team to grow from 30 to 60+ people.
IDK why you assume I don’t try to encourage my team, honestly. We get good results so I reward them well. If we performed poorly, I would have a different approach.
- Comment on what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been in a management role for the past 3yrs. I always tell my team that I don’t expect more than the minimum stated in our job responsibilities, that I expect us to work as a team when needed, to maintain a moderate balance between their work and their lives, and to try and maintain a positive attitude.
Work sucks, but I want my team to be happy. None of us want to be working, but none of us want to be miserable, either.
- Comment on THEY'RE EVOLVING 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, never heard them called mud bees. Only ever heard them as dirt / mud daubers, and they’re very obviously wasps.
They don’t hurt as much as you’d think, but you’ll still feel it for a day or two
- Comment on Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds? 5 weeks ago:
Actually, please don’t. It’s Lemmy and we need all the users we can get

People liked Kirk will see that quote and say things like, “See, not every belief is equal and not every belief should be defended, that’s how we got to this point.” The mental gymnastics is incredible
- Comment on What percentage of the world population ages 30+ do you suppose is capable of financially supporting themselves & living & thriving independently? 1 month ago:
Personally, I think very few people in life are truly independent and never need help or assistance with something. As far as thriving, I know few people that aren’t struggling with their finances, health, or something else.
As a child, I thought life would be hard but ultimately a good experience. The older I become, the more I believe my subjective experience is bleak but with good moments.

Literally the evolutionary equivalent of “eh, good enough”
- Comment on game shitpost 2 months ago:
Actually not a bad game.
- Comment on On Black Holes... 2 months ago:
If I was lucky enough to be so accurate to fall past an event horizon, I’d love it. But I’d also worry my perception of time would change such that my death would feel infinite. I would be equally excited and terrified

Those numbers are for FOMO, one pack and I’m set for life

“Be a Mechanical Engineer, then you get to hate nearly everyone including yourself.” A Mech. Engineer told me this after we both had a really long day. If you pay attention to those guys, you’ll find that they know more than most because they play the parts of Engineer, Tech, and Liaison

Hopefully you utilize Python instead of Excel for data management. Unless you have non-engineers or tech-illiterate people on your team or adjacent teams lol

Finde ich richtig gut, ja
- Comment on The Developer Behind The Alters Confirms They Used Generative AI And Explains Their Use 3 months ago:
This article is worthless. They stated how it could be the end of the studio and how it’s telling for the industry, but they go on to say the studio literally only used it to do last-minute translations for Korean and Brazilian-Portuguese prior to launch before having a team refine and complete the translations post-launch. There’s no real story here. It isn’t like they used generative AI to help code or model something
- Comment on HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war 6 months ago:
Op, this is it. The franchise has been around for decades and covers many historical eras. Recently they got into fantasy and did pretty well with it. The overall gameplay is similar across each game, but the mechanics and ai behavior vary wildly across titles. If you don’t like one game, pick up another and you’ll probably love it
- Comment on What is the progressives current platform? What is the oldest example of the progressive platform thst you know of? 6 months ago:
While the American Left has been shifting right for the past few decades, were you even around during W. Bush’s presidency? Progressive today want exactly what W. Bush campaigned against - proper climate policies and social / welfare safety nets.
- Comment on Amazon accused of using algorithms to push warehouse workers to breaking point 7 months ago:
The title is vague, so here’s the title of the actual study the article is based on:
Weaponizing the Workplace: How Algorithmic Management Shaped Amazon’s Antiunion Campaign in Bessemer, Alabama>
Also, the problem isn’t the algorithms used for the work. The problem is the metrics they expect employees to consistently hit. The technology isn’t the problem, they just expect too much from their employees.
