One person said they’d spoken with colleagues who had chosen to go hybrid, and those colleagues reported doing work in mostly empty offices punctuated with video calls with people who were in other mostly empty offices.
This is the crux of it. All of our meetings now are virtual. Full stop. Companies had to adapt during COVID and to do that they got things like teams and SharePoints going. Now these tools are still in place and the genie is out of the bottle. No going
You have no idea how much I appreciated the slow lead in your comment. The entire thing is very high quality and I highly enjoyed reading whatever the fuck that was.
Mental endurance. The documents I write are very long, and very technical. My role is to integrate reports from numerous environmental and engineering disciplines into one big report. In that regard, everything has to be accurate. Because I integrate, I have to read all of these reports. Every day. All day. All year. Then I have to fit the pieces of the puzzle together and tell the story of the site.
Horrific.
The letter from the MIA is extremely well written, and conveys a lot of humanity and sympathy. I’m moved.
What are the YT alternatives? I use it by default and I’m to exhausted to look for another landing place
That was a long read, GW, but I particularly like your strategies for comment/post responses. There are several in there that my (professional) mentors have taught me and they serve me well; particularly the write a response but don’t send it.
While the strategy you mention below wasn’t one I was taught, I think it’s a big one:
Ask yourself whether you are the right person to be responding here. Are you a part of the privileged group that you perceive is being attacked? If you are not a part of the privileged group, do you have any context on the plight being described? If not, you should probably start by educating yourself. If you are educated on the topic, are you giving them the benefit of the doubt?
Because we are the protagonists of our own stories, it’s hyper easy to think we know it all, must stand up for others, condemn every transgression, or have all the context to make our comments valid. The internet makes everything seem personal, and it is human nature to try and simply things down to black and white thinking.
Chances are, we don’t know it all, have the necessary context, or necessarily need to address every issue or injustice. Despite my shitposting tendencies, I would much rather make fewer, more defensible comments than a litany of comments at the edge of my experience/expertise, or those were I fully understand what’s happening (ask questions! has entered the chat).
Take a step back, baes. Take a breath. Then respond
LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!
This is… Horrifically accurate.
Long sigh… I GUESS we should apologize to the First Nations
Having looked at some of the reports I have to clean up, I can tell you that yes, in fact, you CAN polish a turd
I like this one
A lot of what you list, particularly the bot playground, are reasons I hated Reddit. What I really hated was that people just spammed a bunch of rote responses and these guys
Lemmy is great, but it takes a while to figure out
That black police officer’s arm has more muscle on it than I have in my body
B, by a country mile; especially if it’s in passive voice. This style of writing is really prevalent in scientific writing; it needn’t be.
I was following what was happening on Reddit and someone mentioned it. It was a little tricky to sign up and understand how it all worked once I did, but I got there, obviously (to the chagrin of the shitpost communities)
The one they named the dance after?
This warms my geriatric millennial heart
Tech literate and Foss aware
Lawl. Speak for yourself: I’m a luddite - I just asked someone ‘what is a foss’
Is this is what happened to my parents when the internet came along and computers started being a thing? I swore to God that would never happen to me
I really like both. I have to have coffee in the morning so I guess if I had to pick one that would be it.
I love a good chai that will take my lunch money though
