treadful@lemmy.zipto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•how good are you at lying during job interviews?English10·16 days agoIMO, lying is a terrible way to start any relationship. At best it means you wind up with a job you’re unqualified for. At worst the whole thing blows up in your face. Maybe even the remote possibility of fraud charges.
Don’t think there’s anything wrong with embellishing or talking yourself up, but outright lies seldom work out well. At least in my experience in my industry.
treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s one thing you wish more people noticed in everyday life?English3·19 days agoIt’s literally not. This is like that stupid thing people say about how if you nod up to someone, you expose your neck and don’t see them as a threat.
It’s complete nonsense with no real evidence to support it. But people keep spreading it because it seems intuitive.
treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I laughed when a guy came in from Doordash and picked up one can of Formula. I thought crazy someone would do that. But he claimed that he once delivered a candy bar. Anyone know if that possible?English19·26 days agoIt’s $10 to not have to go somewhere. Cost of the candy bar is kind of irrelevant.
treadful@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's something incredibly useful you can buy for roughly £100 or less?English12·28 days agoThat thing must be huge!
treadful@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which cartoon foods did you always want to try?English24·28 days agoThose giant ribs from the Flintstones that curl into a big C.
Not sure that really fits my workflow, but it sure is a neat concept.
I’ve got triple monitors and 8-10 virtual desktops full at any given moment. Lots of multitasking. Lots of context switching where I don’t necessarily want to close out any windows. Tilling WM.
Kind of thinking about adding more virtual desktops…
treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•8 billion people vs. 3000 billionaires: Who would win?English8·1 month agoWhile arriving for the competition, all 8 billion got wedged into the doors of the arena Three Stooges style and were unable to compete.
Because it’s fun. Live a little.
treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever had fruitful discussions cut short because OP deleted the post? If so, is this a fundamental problem or just an annoyance?English8·2 months agoI get what you’re saying, but as you kind of mentioned, it’s a falsehood to believe any of your posts and comments here are under your control anyway. They get federated to other instances, maybe mirrored or crawled by bots. And these may or may not abide by your deletion of the content.
Might be best to just expose/enforce this reality to users. You send data publicly onto the Internet, it’s forever out of your control. And there’s no system in existence that can change that reality.
Also why it’s important that a doxxed Internet never becomes reality.
treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever had fruitful discussions cut short because OP deleted the post? If so, is this a fundamental problem or just an annoyance?English54·2 months agoKind of wish deleting posts wasn’t a thing. Would rather just the user-association was removed or something. Just because OP doesn’t want to be involved in the thread anymore, doesn’t mean everyone else feels the same.
treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there like a cheat code for dating apps?English4·2 months agoThey probably would if I asked. I wouldn’t ask.
treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•[SERIES] What is your opinion on the old saying {"In vino veritas"}?English8·2 months agoNo shot I’m repeating that here.
treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there like a cheat code for dating apps?English10·2 months agoHave your friends take “candid” photos of you doing stuff. They’re not actually candid, they’re fully thought out and planned.
In all seriousness, I don’t think I could ever do that.
treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•[SERIES] What is your opinion on the old saying {"In vino veritas"}?English29·2 months agoProbably more accurate to say “in wine, no filter.” People are more likely to say what’s on their mind. But what’s on their mind could be complete nonsense.
I’ve said a lot of dumb shit drunk.
treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are we really seeing the fall of empire, or just the end of our illusions?English55·2 months agoDefinitely both. The whole idea of law is basically just a collective myth. If that myth breaks down, law breaks down, societies break down.
treadful@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What product or service do you use less as a result of their marketing?English20·2 months agoAny of those door to door window sales companies. Really anyone that comes to my door unsolicited.
They’re never going to be worth the interaction.
Would be hard to resist drawing the symbol on the flyer.
As someone that normally prefers to eat alone; maybe this isn’t the worst thing. I’d welcome a little unexpected company once in a while.
That said, expecting it to turn into something romantic is extreme wishful thinking. Also, I’m not a woman so the experience is probably a bit different.
