Could also be job postings to convince current workers that their overwork will soon end because the company is about to hire new folks. I’ve seen that theory floated to explain the “help wanted” signs at fast food places that never come down.
I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

And sometimes those recommendations get implemented in awful ways in public buildings. And that’s why my office will be hot and humid when I get to work on Monday–the A/C gets turned off over the weekend and it takes forever to catch up on Monday. Never mind that I work in a library and books do not deal well with changing temperature and (especially) high humidity.
I’m too pale AF to have a loving relationship with the sun. I’ve been burned too many times. I always use protection, but last weekend the sunscreen failed me :(
They have butter for their hot cakes. Sounds like it was adding butter packets to the order.
Must end in an even number or 5, but cannot end in 4 or 6.
And iirc the historical reason it’s not disrespectful for women to keep their hat on is that hats were much more integrated into women’s hairdos. So, it’d be a whole production of removing hat pins, re-arranging curls, etc.
I thought it was disrespectful to wear your hat in church. Huh.
It was surprisingly easy to get my dextroamphetamine prescription through a (local) telehealth doctor. Of course, I know I have ADHD because I’m not addicted to the meds and, in fact, keep forgetting to take then.
The cheese stands alone
My dad used to disable the motherboard speaker because the noises games made back then were more annoying than fun. We eventually got a soundcard, and that was awesome.
MS-DOS 5 or 6. I guess technically I used whatever Apple IIes had, first, but really I just loaded games from disk.
First person, introduce yourself. Second person, introduce yourself and first person. Etc.
Yep. That’s why I’m here again. My reddit app may work for now, but the writing is on the wall in bigger, bolder letters.
Why don’t you ask the trans people you know? They’re more likely to know their reasons that we are. We’re just random people in the Internet. They’re the ones whose style causes you questions.
Yeah. I remembered the topper: the horse people were totally coming back with shovels to clean up the dung but the homeowner cleaned up before the horse people could, and so it’s still the homeowner’s fault.
That’s how we got legless lizards.
This last election, I googled the candidates and voted for the ones that hadn’t tried to ban books at the local library.
I finally found a job that I enjoy and isn’t wicked stressful. I’m looking forward to going in on Monday to fix a bug that reared its head over the weekend. It’s lovely.
My previous job had little downtime, lots of deadlines, and paid more. I took mental health days a lot.
Current job pays 2/3 as much and I love it. I don’t call out nearly as often.
It’s like Facebook, but you only see posts from people geographically near you. Expect lots of lost pet posts, and drama over people not picking up after their horses when riding trails that have an easement over someone’s driveway, but oh noes the homeowner should get over themselves because they chose to live in a rural area so they should expect horse poop in their driveway and it’s good non-stinky fertilizer anyway, but oh noes etc. So much drama.
I know! It should be “hot diggity dog”.
