Online book clubs are kind of a thing.

Welcome to Lemmy, just find a community and start chatting. If it’s dead/empty, start filling it.

I try to open myself up to people as best I can here and on Mastodon just because we’re pretty used to the algorithm TM deciding who we talk to or where we engage for a long time now and I don’t think we are collectively ready to have non-hostile “discussions” in that we just don’t know how to do it.

What’s been on your mind? If you don’t wanna share here try the casual conversations community. They might be better to receive you.

I took 5 years to consecutively not get a degree and I’m about to go back to finish 5 years later.

Yeah it sticks not graduating with the people you started with, but that really isn’t any more of a signifier of success or failure than graduating at all.

Sometimes things happen and at that point everyone is mature enough to but be a dick.

I ultimately agree with a lot of communism and as such I’m probably more likely to agree with the average Tankie than most people.

And with that disclaimer, yeah kinda it has aided them in doing that.

They created a reddit alternative that has a “default server” as it were. And they have the ability to admin that source of information to tailor to their specific ideological needs.

But is it effective in a grander scheme? That’s pretty debatable.

Missed the lore.

Why boycott .ml ?

Couple things

1. Start applying for things you’re not sure and you know you aren’t qualified for. Often recruiters or HR people don’t actually know what the fuck the job needs and just sorta copies similar job titles recs. Once you’re able to talk to the actual hiring manager, then you can see if you’re a good culture fit and if they can give you some on the job training.

2. Get a job at something not really what you wanna do but feels related enough. For me, my big break into my career was working at a call center for a hospital. It was not IT related, but it got me office experience that I spun into IT experience.
