What if you don’t know anyone willing to help you get a job?
Ask them for who they know. Heck, even if they are willing to help you, still ask them for more contacts.
It legit took me over a decade of work experience to finally realize that “networking” was really just a simple graph-traversal algorithm for finding friends. If those friends need help with something that pays, then offer your help.
In many ways, I feel similarly. However, “this one weird trick” got me out of it. Think of networking as something you do to find like-minded complex-abstract-problem-solvers. You’re just finding friends. If one of those friends has a particularly tough problem and they’re willing to pay you, then, congrats! You now have a job offer!
The algorithm is simple: ask people what they do, why they do it, and, crucially, who they know. Then contact each of those people, name-drop their friend, mention interests you might have in common, and ask to meet you talk about fun stuff. Repeat. Follow up with people to let them know you appreciated meeting with them (or not…if you didn’t really appreciate meeting with them). If you get the sense that someone is looking for help and you’re interested in what they’re doing, offer your help. The worst thing that can happen is they say no.
There’s a “block user” feature in Lemmy. It’s useful in situations like these. Some people never learn the limits of vulgarity.
Pretty sure they’re either a troll or wildly ignorant. Either way, it’s probably safe to just ignore them.
argues like an annoying 14 year old atheist that just discovered Internet arguments and the think whole Internet is Christian
Brilliant. I’m saving this imagery for later.
I work at a father son activity centre…
That’s great!
…you would be shocked at how few women I see spending time with their own children!
I’m not at all shocked. Selfish behavior isn’t exclusive to men. Women are also deeply flawed humans.
These are US based and based on separated parents.
I provided non-anecdotal evidence, and you shit on it? What are your priorities?
Selectively observing statistics doesn’t give a good representation of real life, but shitting on other people for selectively observing statistics doesn’t help, either.
If you’ve been alive for more than 30 seconds, it’s not just anecdotal. But to appease the challenge, anyways: https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2020/demo/p60-269.pdf There’s a massive imbalance between custodial fathers and custodial mothers. Even worse is the imbalance in child support negligence.
Can we please just admit that there are normal biological/social/economic/perceived/identity differences between men and women? That’s not to say all of those differences are good or desirable, or that they are without variation, but can we at least recognize the state of our world without shunning those with different viewpoints?
Harsh words. After all, Rankine is best.
Audio, like a lot of physical systems, involve logarithmic scales, which is where floating-point shines. Problem is, all the other physical systems, which are not logarithmic, only get to eat the scraps left over by IEEE 754. Floating point is a scam!
Hard disagree. This is a problem every web service has had to deal with since the beginning of the web: what happens when a host (either the machine or the person) stops working? How do you keep the service up?
Centralized services solve that problem with internally funded, transparent redundancy. Federation solves the problem with externally funded, highly-visible redundancy. They’re still the same solution, just a different way of going about it.
You could argue that user identity is lost due to the discontinuity between instances, but that’s probably something the Lemmy devs could fix without too much hassle.
Care to elaborate?
Ahh, okay, so nothing new under the sun: Hipsters hate normies and September never ended.
Although I’m under the impression that Mint and Pop have taken a bite out of the “beginner desktop” market, Ubuntu is most of what I observe in the office when everybody else is booting Windows.
I can understand selecting for novelty; I’m usually in that camp. But novelty shouldn’t come at the expense of an argument to IT departments that they should support at least one Linux distro.
For those of us still naive … Why does Lemmy say “Ubuntu bad” now?
The only one arguing against documented historical facts and ongoing reality in this thread is you. The PRC isn’t some magical place where people don’t do awful shit to each other. They’re just really good at covering it up.
It’s hard realizing that it’s a messy world full of people who do bad things to each other for stupid reasons. Just remember:
Roses are red.
The sky is blue.
Single-party authoritarian ethnostates leverage the absence of a free press to hide mass atrocities against ethnic minorities.
Not defending. Admitting that evil things have been done to 780 people while at Gitmo. It’s a problem, and we’re working to fix it.
But imagine being unable to admit there are millions of detainees in Xinjiang.
That’s the difference between Western Democracy and an an authoritarian ethnostate. There’s no way to fix something you won’t admit exists.
That history article you linked goes as far as the 1950s.
Who’s debunked it? The CCP? Are they still sticking to the “reeducation centers” line? Have you been “reeducated”?
There are some perverse arguments that let Gitmo exist. It’s a heated debate around whether the US Constitution extends to non-citizens. As usual, Wikipedia has a fantastic summary.
… which is a debate that can occur in a diverse nation with a free press. Do you feel threatened because you’re arguing against Western Democracy on the Internet, a product of that same Western “regime”?
Didn’t think so.
Right. Okay, I’ll do your homework for you…
You’re claiming that a handful of people pointed out some things Western governments were doing that were illegal according to said governments’ legal governing documents, but because of the way they did it, those governments (and citizens) are pissed off at them.
I’m saying the systematic oppression of the free press, human rights, and the decades-long genocide of Tibetans and Uyghurs are perfectly legal according to the PRC.
These aren’t even comparable. Keep trying.
If it’s used as an identifier to link together rows from different tables. Also known as “joining” tables. SSN (with birthdate) is a unique identifier, and so it’s natural to choose as a primary/foreign key.
