When I was a young teen I did this a few times because my friends were doing it but those memories are shameful now.

During the start of my career I searched out tech firms based in my city and made a list of the ones I was interested. Then I followed the vacancies pages on their website and sent speculative emails. Companies seemed to appreciate my more proactive approach and the few times I used recruiters I had bad experiences (they tried to blag me into roles I was not qualified for).

Now I’m more open to linkedin recruiters but it depends on what the company is. I’ll often try to work out what/where the vacancy is from their description so I can circumvent them.

Germany still has a problem with sex trafficking however they have a much better system than 99.9% of other countries in the world.

mastodon, hackernews and a small handful of boards on 4chan

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

I think people have a tendency to use evolutionary psychology as a crutch in explaining human behaviour. Like they suggest it can explain everything when it’s only one factor of many.

However in this specific case your theory makes a lot of sense to me.

Sports are definitely an area where the sublemmies get less traffic. I quite enjoy posting on the rugby union sub but there are like 4 of us there.

try finger but hole

Automated trading makes any disturbance get amplified. Many companies specialise in high performance computing software that will ideally trade stocks a fraction of a second before their fastest competitors can, thus turning a profit. However the proliferation of these automated trades means that stock rises or falls experience pile ons where many stocks are bought or dumped without any human intervention.

My wife believes that the secret to resolving hiccups is to “breathe as much air into your lungs as possible, squeezing your chest against your knees while crouching and keeping you breathe held; then lastly, standing up after 30 seconds.”

She learned this from her Dad who has a mischievous side. To me, when she first described it, sounded like the steps someone would take to make themselves pass out unconscious. I guess it depends how fast you stand up. Is Lemmy able to settle this one for us?

Minor gripes but overall good

120 Days of Sodom was a tough read. I don’t think it’s satire despite what the critics say. Marquis de Sade was literally a rapist but for some reason it is taken as being a meta-commentary on contemporary French society.

Nope, I’ve had mine fired up everyday playing Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

Yeah similarly you also get worse at being responsible on nights out the more often you go out drinking

Nightclub dance floor during freshers week… has been 13 years and we’re married now lol

Work laptop is macOS and I don’t get a choice; end up spending most of my time in emacs to pretend I’m using a different OS.

Primary desktop is Gentoo and I spend a lot of time playing with it. Also got an old thinkpad with Debian, and lastly an old Windows 10 desktop which is going to be put out to pasture soon.

They’ve recently discovered that their large nasal cavities could have been used to make a tuba like noise

I think The Evil Dead is the most consistent horror franchise. Like Alien and The Exorcist have incredibly high highs but the lows are abhorrent.

Edit: misread your question lol

I think that the movies sub is a good place for horror. Yes, there are other genres there but we’re in a golden age for horror films with A24 cranking out bangers. Horror always does well at the box office so you can pretty much be guaranteed a thread for each new release.

Yeah definitely they are cool human beings
