That sounds like one of my parents. They are a narcissist.

They're doing it to save face and appear nice. They know they rules of society and push them as far as they can to gain advantage. If they know that being mean to you gets the same results as being nice, they will be mean.

Lemmy is cheaper. Some don't have health insurance or do but it's garbage tier insurance.

The "work yourself to death" is a stupid boomer concept. It's a hugely negative aspect of traditional masculinity.

When people say weird stuff like this, I always question why. Why would you have a kid and then work so hard to be away from it? Why would you work for a company that will lay you off the moment it earns them a higher stock price to do so? (no modern company deserves your loyalty.) Why would you brag about suffering instead of relaxing?

I understand that we're all wired differently but those values literally don't make sense to me.

 

My favorites:

Drag building produces one merge undo action per the whole drag, instead of the individual undo actions for every entity built. Space platform "request missing materials for construction" will no longer request items for entity ghosts which can't yet be built

 

I got 8/10 of these. Probably 9/10 when I was a teen.

I don't know this person or their credentials with a grain of salt, but, uh.... wow.

I wish. No one IRL treats me like this. Everyone's eyes glaze over or they freak out. There is no support.

This is my life story. Every day, I understand more and get closer to "old man lives alone with his dog in the woods"

Oooh this may be it. I've been told before that I do this. (the first paragraph)

Was Bob upset because he didn’t know that was your intent

I don't think so. I'm pretty up front about my goals. I messaged Bob and said that I am looking for a job and I want to ask Alice questions. Literally. "Could you introduce me or send my contact info over? I'd like to get an inside perspective about the work environment and ask more about the job."

I then asked questions like "can you introduce me to the hiring manager or send my contact info their way? Additionally, what's the work culture like? Are bosses on your case all the time or are they asking how they can help? Do people like working there or does everyone complain? What's the work hours like?"

 

I'm looking for a job. I saw Alice works at ACME brick. Bob knows Alice. Bob and I used to work together. I asked Bob if he could introduce me to Alice so I can ask Alice 1) for help getting in touch with the hiring manager and 2) what the company culture is like. Bob said yes and I asked Alice my questions, with Bob CC'ed in the message.

This has seemed OK with most people. However Bob said my conversation with Alice seemed one sided and excessive and like I was taking advantage of him just to get to the hiring manager. I am, correctly, asking for help getting to the hiring manager, for inside info. I am not only asking that, but it is part of what I'm asking. I am also asking about company culture and advice when talking to the interviewer. Bob was very upset and I think I've burned that bridge.

Is this wrong, in general? Is it OK but not asking too often? Most people seemed to be OK with it, but I worry they were just being polite and I've been unknowingly pissing off my entire social life and hurting my chances at getting a job. (why yes, I do have anxiety and take meds.)

 

mugs!

Edit - as pointed out, they're pretty expensive for plastic mugs. The steam comments are tearing them a new ahole, too, lol. https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/eventcomments/727997019945216152?snr=1_2108_9__2107

 

I've been trying to delete my tweets and likes and such. I want to keep the name reserved. I've searched for scripts to do this and there are plenty! None of them work. One of them at least said that some changes on January has broken the script. All of the 3rd party services I find either are expensive or only delete that 100 or so tweets.

Anyone know a script that actually works?
