Girlfriends, going to the bathroom together, spending a lot of time in there? 🧐 The team is going to start some rumors...

Aslan didn't allow the oldest girl into "heaven" with the other kids in the last book because she... checks notes... wore makeup and liked boys. C S Lewis got reeeal puritanical towards the end of that series.

When I was in middle school, a girl did in fact get a bug bite on her eyeball. It was blood red for a week and she couldn't see well, but long term she was fine.

Me, who's saving up for a house

If an employee delivering pizza harassed me, they would be fired. They couldn't be hired at that same pizza place again - they'd have a blacklisted ssn.

If a gig work worker harassed me, they could easily resign up using someone else's info. In fact, that's a common method for harassing women - they sign up with a fake woman's profile so you let your guard down.

I recently moved to a new area and got a card in the mail telling me my polling place. On election day I showed up and found out three districts use that building.

So I asked the volunteer which district I was in. He asked for my address, then said, "I don't know where that is". K thx, buddy. Then he whipped out a 20 year outdated paper map and asked me to find my house. The street wasn't even there! After finally stepping out of line (and some exasperated groans of relief behind me) I did 15 minutes of frantic googling to find my district. Then I had to go to the back of the line and wait again.

I was lucky I had the day off work for all that nonsense. Most people don't have that luxury.

I've always wondered what that means. Did they start an LLC and do nothing with it? Fall for a pyramid scheme? Write phishing emails?

Usually when someone owns a business, it's a point of pride and part of their sense of self. "I run a restaurant" or "I'm a patternmaker" or something. As an accountant myself, I find I use this gif way too much:

I love that he was labeled "SHONK" for most of it. Also kudos to the person/group that went around incorrectly labeling things.

Last I checked, most of my content on r/all was r/aita and clone subs, r/weddingdress, and r/doordash, over and over and over. A lot of the subs that used to be on all never recovered from the blackout. My personal feed pretty much died because subs that would get 20+ posts a day went down to 1-2 a week.

@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone fyi, the defederation list may need to be updated due to the upcoming instance migrations.

What is the BANNED tag? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I love the new tag feature. So far I've seen:

  • YOU
  • OP
  • ADMIN
  • BANNED

I'm wondering what that last one means though. Did the person get banned after writing that comment, or is it a warning that they're banned elsewhere? Did I accidentally block a user?

There are a lot of communities I haven't subscribed to since there were only 1-2 other users. I've also noticed that some communities started out strong and seemed to practically die.

But today I was looking for a community and searched through lemmy.world instead of my own instance. Turns out the subscribers never left - I just can't see them. For example:

  • if I search !dccomics@lemmy.ml using my home instance on liftoff, I see 2 subscribers
  • if I look up the same community using lemmy.world, I see 58 subscribers
  • if I look up the community in Google (not logged in), I see 58 subscribers
  • if I click on the !dccomics@lemmy.ml link in my own post, I see 110 subscribers
  • if I search using my home instance for new communities, say !curatedtumblr@sh.itjust.works , there's 1 subscriber and no posts
  • if I access !curatedtumblr@sh.itjust.works through my saved committees list, I can see posts

I've noticed the same issues on !lemmy.world and !sh.itjust.works , but I can only say that for sure because I know those instances should have more traffic. I don't think my instance has defederated with theirs.

Does anyone know of this is an issue with liftoff, lemmy, or simple defederation?

I haven't updated my music instrument library in years, especially since newer official software doesn't play well with pirated plugins. The last time I downloaded VSTs was 2012ish, back when PB and KAT were still good sources. Music technology (and the instruments people like to listen to) have taken a huge leap since then. I do mostly pop and jazz, so I've got East West, Session Horns, Session Strings, Broadway Big Band, Kontact, and a couple miscellaneous Native Instruments plugins. Does anyone know of production level VST sources for newer versions of these or better software?

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to post. I'm moving over to Jerboa from rif and I'm having a hard time changing my phone settings. I'm on Android 10. When I used rif, I could open reddit links - and only reddit links - within rif and stay in the app. With Jerboa, clicking on instances, communities, or user pages in comments automatically starts up Gmail. I get that fediverse is based on the same concept as email, but how do I get my phone to stop assuming every @ is an email address?

I had to lie to get jobs too. I left home at 16 and worked full time through high school/college to support myself. After getting my degree, I watched as all my classmates got good paying jobs while I didn't. Eventually after 20 or so interviews I lost my cool and asked why I was getting turned down. "Well, we don't want a laborer handling our accounting records. Maybe work as a receptionist or executive assistant for a few years to prove you're capable of office work?".

So I started lying. I took all of my previous work history off my resume and advertised myself as a fresh college grad. It worked... At first. Once I started talking about basic work things in the interview they knew I was lying and wouldn't go further. So I took a different tactic: lie about my unofficial title being higher than what a background check would say, but "admitting" that I couldn't get promoted because I was a nepo hire.

Oddly enough that worked REALLY well. Everyone loved the idea that I got jobs through connections instead of my own hard work. They loved that I walked, talked, and dressed like someone who breezed through life. My only guess is that I came off as one of the "popular kids" and they wanted me at their table. In just a month I had a dozen offers across the industry.

I absolutely agree with you. If you're trying to dig yourself out of unemployment or poverty, lie, lie LIE! Interviews are notoriously bad at determining whether or not you're a good employee. Do everything you can to play into people's biases and let them fill in the blanks.
