And yet, saying it was indeed mildly interesting received a downvote.

That’s the idiot I’m calling out.

Might be why it’s in “mildly interesting.”

I have always found this mildly interesting!

Go ahead and downvote, I’m not the idiot here

I think they barely cared, and still don’t care. It barely constitutes a footnote.

“A larger amount of subscribers will ‘churn’ this month and we have reason to believe most will be back to watch the next season of Andor.”

Seriously, how sad is it that it’s happening now that it’s almost destroyed?

Cool thanks buddy, no time like the present I guess.

Yep, it’s easy to ignore that those who want kids literally just want something, but are convinced it’s their right.

They completely ignore their own abilities because they think they deserve to have children.

I was actually talking to my mom about this. I said “everyone who wants kids is essentially just bored” and she said “no, I wanted children!” like it was better somehow.

I was 100% thinking that too! I saw it and immediately was like “wow, that looks like it will win a prize.”

Cool to hear you go to the press exhibition each year! You must see a lot of amazing photos there.

I’m an amateur photographer and mostly do insects.

Incredible timing, positioning, and framing. Also preparation I assume, being able to take the photo in that environment. Even the wind had to be right! Remarkable.

My company is not a place where you learn how to code, it’s a place where you learn all the stuff which you didn’t think you’d have to do as a software engineer.

This to me is actually the “secret” of software engineering: it’s frequently doing the stuff you didn’t think you’d have to do as a software engineer.

The hard part is often finding someone who can do both while also wanting to work at your company.

As mentioned in comments below, it’s a Chicago Tribune photographer, Stacey Wescott. Amazing photographer!

This photo was generated by AI after 2020, not “taken” at all.

I really appreciate how many different reasons this picture is crap.

I wouldn’t be surprised if AI-Arnold’s watch looks like something that was designed later or something.

My lemmy client lets me filter out posts based on words or phrases.

I found my mood improving when I started filtering out the clickbait and doom.

I enjoy reading reviews where the person is trying to write that there’s nothing special about a product, and at the current price point you should get something else… without writing that.

For that price, I might have expected slightly better noise cancelling and a potentially more well-rounded sound…

I know I’ve definitely enjoyed using them for the last few weeks, and if you can still pick them up at the discounted rate I spotted them at recently, then they’re well worth a go.

Let me paraphrase. Are you a “pick me?” These unique fashion-first headphones are for you.

Are you someone who just wants decent headphones? Buy something else unless you can get them on discount.

It’s both! Though Lay’s came first. I looked it up because I couldn’t remember.

Pringles is “once you pop, you can’t stop,” in the mid 1990s.

Lay’s is “betcha can’t eat just one,” starting in the early 1960s!

Now I want chips.

It appears to be the latter.

Being aggressive is not the way to ask for help. You just end up looking… aggressive.

I actually just thought of this cake earlier today randomly.

I love it, one of my favorite cakes!

What a cool idea!

I think they thought it meant “veiled compliments” and not “veiled insults.”

Which isn’t hard to confuse really.

I believe Tech hiring is more about ego of the hiring managers and team more than it is about hiring qualified people.

I’ve never been on a team or seen a team where this was the case. We just wanted people who could do the job well, and they were hard to find.

I actually don’t understand where manager/team ego ever fits in, as someone who hired a lot of bootcamp grads.

Not in the same way… which is the issue.

It’s a skilled profession, so ideally you want someone who is more skilled, and the person who has interest is more skilled.

It works similarly with other skilled professions like carpenters.
