I’m just here for the free vacation.

That was a great read!
Omg yes the ear protection. I never paid attention to the warnings, it was just a loud club on a random Thursday after all. I was too young to realize the compounding effect. Even now I look back and feel like my partying and exposure to loud fun was mild, yet here I am with partial hearing loss and a portable white noise generator.
I absolutely feel the same. Notice how you had to point out you’re left leaning? That just shows how militant and aggressive Lemmy can be that you have to state that just in case.
I like Lemmy, I just wish it was a little less stubborn (and I say that as a left leaning person).
Heyyyy I’m at least double digits in age.
Idk why but Kelly Clarkson.
Stickers should have a greater sense of self worth and keep it together when people are trying to tear them apart.
A law that prohibits labels from being too sticky that you can’t reuse the packaging. For example, I should absolutely be able to easily peel off the labels from empty wine bottles and glass jars so I can reuse them.
Make jokes about not being busy. Make them boldly in slightly non appropriate circles. Then lean with the same amount of conviction into compliments. Agree with full heart, be non apologetic with the same force used to joke about how little work you have.
This duality is powerful because on the one hand you clearly have nothing to hide, and on the other hand you’re painfully truthful. Works a charm. Then go have brunch on the clock.
Thank you, it was worth the crucial muscle groups sacrifice.
I don’t know what the reason is, but I have a large friend group of almost exclusively males, and I am a respected, listened to female, who can easily command the room. I can also deadlift twice my body weight.
Tech, specifically AI automation. My LPT is that most services are just using GPT4 in some capacity. Automated workflows are not plug and play, credentials expire, variables change, limits are exceeded, etc. Rather than pay a random company to build and maintain something for you, you can save a shit ton by just hiring someone in-house who knows Zapier or Make and having them build the workflow you need.
Finding a job that works with my night owl behavior. It’s not laziness if I sleep the same amount you do.
Three 27" monitors. Right one is portrait, has Slack and music player split screen, left is email or reference material, center one is for doing the actual work.
I work in a customer facing role but also do graphic design, write books, make music, and occasionally code things.
Massive productivity boost. When I work from my laptop I feel like a grandma.
More diverse content and a better attitude to bringing on new people who would contribute to the community. I like it here but I do see a lot of slagging off the people still on Reddit, users of other social media sites, and even other instances. I am one of those people, I still use Instagram (I like to watch cat videos and people making weird music) and occasionally Twitter (for breaking news and storm chaser stuff), and sometimes it’s a little disparaging to read lots of comments saying people like me don’t belong here.
Honey and anchovy paste was the one I learned for tomato sauces. It works!
Fuck no, I work in AI automation for computer processes.
I work for an AI company that’s dying out. We’re trying to charge companies $30k a year and upwards for basically chatgpt plus a few shoddily built integrations. You can build the same things we’re doing with Zapier, at around $35 a month. The management are baffled as to why we’re not closing any of our deals, and it’s SO obvious to me - we’re too fucking expensive and there’s nothing unique with our service.
