If so, what are some misconceptions or seldom known facts?

I try to read more but what else is there when I don’t wanna just read? I’ve done some notebook stuff too but I’ve found using it too much makes me be anxious about writing a lot down lol.

For instance as I lay on the bed for 10-20 minutes waiting for my child to take their nap. Do I just stare into the void?

I graduated from college in December 2024 with a bachelor's in computer engineering and I'm lost on what I'm supposed to be doing at this point. It's been 8 months now and I'm still unemployed. I have been applying non-stop since I graduated and I can't catch a break, I get to first-round interviews about once a month (twice if I'm lucky) but every single time I've gotten past the first round I am rejected for someone who was recommended internally/someone with job experience. how am I supposed to get the experience I need if every opportunity is sniped from me?

I've been applying mostly on career pages of most companies and for any job that has software developer in the title or description, I'm willing to relocate to anywhere in the US I'm not sure how I can cast a bigger net without just leaving the CE industry that I spent so long studying for.

My resume has been reviewed countless times and okayed by technical professionals. I didn't get an internship in college so I know that's holding me back, but my college had a senior project where i worked on a technical project and I try to push that as much as I can. Is there any advice on finding entry-level jobs willing to hire fresh graduates with no work experience?

Or any other non US equivilant from anywhere? I know Botpress is headquartered in Canada but it appears the charges are in Dollars sooo... Is Le chat by Mistral potentially one of these? Any others? Thanks for any sugestions

Assume you have all the luxuries of a modern life in your Tardis (toilet, hot showers, TV, books, game console, ...) which doubles as a mini self-sufficient apartment with it's own energy stores and generation.

Where in history would you go if comfort wasn't an issue?

I am not joking when I say that I thinked for hours about how do people find each other in 2025.

Currently, the world is in very weird state. People online are either using social video platforms or they are reading news or lurking in online forums in it's different shapes and forms.

Most chat platforms that I know had shut down and most alt social platforms are almost dead. Even Hackernews had started to see a lower amount of comments compared to previous years.

I want a serious answer, how should I find people online to talk to about anything really other than politics?

American here. I have a job where they have a perk where you submit receipts through their app or website and you earn points you can cash out at some point if you shop with clients of our company. Sounds like a nice little promotional incentive, right?

Well, they say it’s optional but it’s not. You can apparently get in trouble for not using this and we’ve been pulled aside about it and warned we must use this stupid thing.

The idea is the app you install must be given permission to see your location at all times. It then checks the area to ensure you are favoring clients of our company as opposed to our competitors when you shop. When you shop at one of our clients, you must report your receipt to the company showing everything you bought while there. Even if you are buying gas, you need to report it.

I don’t participate in this invasion of privacy. I actually want to put less of my data out there in general, not more. I don’t even have a grocery store discount card. We were told in a meeting this week that promotions in this company are influenced by how much/if you participate in the program. We were told people have been denied promotions because they did not participate in this program.

If I’m off the clock they don’t get to decide what I do. They can fuck themselves. And I am surely not giving them a little report of what I buy. But saying we are ineligible for career advancement within the company unless we buy groceries, gas, etc from preferred vendors seems sketchy. Is this legal?

Contractor installed this convoluted p-trap + elbow for the washer, and I'm not sure if it's up to code. Can you confirm and more importantly explain why or why not it's compliant?

I have been getting mail from my back for someone I assume used to live at my place since I moved in. I kept ignoring it, thinking she would change her address eventually. It's been about a year and they are still sending me bank mail for a person I've never met.

This seems like a serious security issue so I called the bank and alerted them to the problem. I was told I would have to find her and get her new address for them so they could change it. This seems.....wrong. I'm alerting you to a security issue with one of your accounts and you need ME to fix it? The agent on the phone said there was nothing they could do without a new address.

I pressed harder and asked them to flag that account so she would have a warning she needs to talk to a banker next time she tries to use her account. Eventually he relented and put a flag on her account.

This seems really sloppy. Do banks just, not care about the mail they send out going to the right place? I'm honestly considering switching to a credit union over this.

Man everywhere in the world is just about war these days. What a shitshow of a time to live.

Where did all smart people who can actually lead and de-escalate go ?

Is there something or someone I can follow for a while to distract myself from this shit and actually learn something ?

I still remember the look on my dad's face after he learned I had gave the music teacher the middle finger.

I’m a senior who’s 21 years old. I will be 22 in July. I today found out I have to retake two college classes. And it sucks because I see on social media where some of my classmates that I graduated with in high school graduated college this spring. They got their bachelors and are moving on. I feel left behind because now I have to wait until the fall. I just hate the thought of being the last person to do something. It’s the worst feeling.  I have to wait 7 months. I have never been good in school! I have always struggled. But it seems so easy for others. I hate the feeling.

Took this photo during sunrise, and the clouds look like rays coming off the area of the sunrise (especially the left side). It reminds me of crespusclar rays, but also seems different. Is this that, a similar phenomenon, or did the clouds just line up perfectly here?

Hi all,

I'm a pretty chill person in my actions but quite sensible in the 'inside'.

Sometimes I run into issues with my feelings which can be very apparent in my eyes / gaze. It's fine most of the time but I recently had a not-so-confortable-situation where i wished I could keep a neutral gaze in front of a stranger to avoid making things more complicated.

Do you know any technique / tips to keep a friendly / neutral posture, even when someone is exhausting you or making you angry?

Thanks!

I don't know if the article is impartial. I just thought people might need some context.

I noticed that "Ask Lemmy" only has 4 moderators.

That's a single mod per 12k~ subscribers.

Or a single mod per 250~ users daily.

@14specks hasn't made a post and comment in 2 years.

@tmpod@lemmy.pt hasn't in 4 months.

@Cloak in a year.

@mekhos in 3 years.

Where are the mods?

Just realized I grabbed David's by mistake now I have these shitty shells that shatter into hundreds of pieces.

Biggs for the win
