“Hey, aren’t you into (special interest)? Tell us about that”

…

“No, not like that”

I’ve only just learned that from another Lemmy poster recently, and had the same reaction, so now you too are cursed with the etymological knowledge and must share it far and wide.

I don’t have an answer, but wanted to point out: a fake grassroots effort is called astroturfing (due to it being fake grass)

Facebook, for all that they were and all that they have become. I don’t use it, won’t use it, but I can’t change others’ behavior, and so its very existence continues to reduce my quality of life. Facebook gave us Facebook, Zuck, and eventually Meta. I do not like them, Sam I Am.

Edit: grammar

Learn the difference between a necessary risk and an unnecessary one, and whenever possible, decide with intent when to deploy the latter.

Other than that, leave things better than you found them. That goes a long way.

Same. My dad didn’t smoke, but grew up in a home where both parents did. Does that contribute? If so, adding that extra dynamic would mean a likely astronomical percentage of millennials were born to fathers that had a strong-to-quite-strong exposure to the effects of smoking.

Northeastern South Canada too!

Can confirm, mine is touch-enabled. Forgot to mention that in my post. Model 20UD-003KUS

I just got a Lenovo T14 Gen 1 with a Ryzen 7 4750U (I think that’s around 11th gen on Intel?), 16GB soldered RAM as well as an open slot to add more, 14" screen (on the larger side of your wishlist, I know), and it was $300US on eBay. It’s been fine with Linux Mint running Cinnamon as my daily driver right now, and also fine with other related OSs like vanilla Debian and Ubuntu. Have not tried with Arch, btw, but these T-series machines have a pretty good reputation as far as I know in terms of Linux ease-of-use.

Ok, sorry, I read it differently when I first commented. Asking for proof of eligibility to work in the US with a reasonable timeline to furnish documents definitely seems like it makes sense like others said, but I’ll admit this isn’t my area of expertise by a long shot in terms of hiring protocols and my initial comment was from entirely the wrong perspective to address your dilemma.

Stairway to Heaven if I ever saw one…

“May not”?? What is that even supposed to mean? Were they Applying While Brown or something? Talking with an accent?

It sounds an awful lot like this isn’t something to stick your nose in and you should do your job, to me.

Edit: wait, are you the interviewer in this situation?

Oh I made the stupid mistake and projected it outwards lol, my bad, I apologize and edited my post

Well I planned for 12 apparently, so I guess I demand a lot of vacation time. I call it the Job Creator schedule.

Do not let this person split up a bill for your restaurant party, folks

(I’m only joking, but I think you did the math the wrong way, $500x12=$6k)

Edit: yep.I’m an idiot, thanks folks, my poor example will stand as a testament to others, don’t shame yourself publicly like this and pay attention in school!

I love listening to music when I cruise around. Do you listen to anything?
