I’m torn because I want to tell him to leave me alone, that I don’t care about his life, but considering the ‘offense’ this seems too much and knowing me I’d immediately regret it and feel bad about it.

Imagine someone has a huge booger hanging out of their nose. It might be embarassing that you point it out to them, but it's a lot more embarassing if they walk around with the booger hanging there. It's the same with this. If you're polite but direct, there's nothing to feel bad about, you're helping the guy learn where the line is.

Expressing the basest of notions with the loftiest of words is the pinnacle of wit.

  1. "Speak to Me"
  2. "Breathe (In the Air)"
  3. "On the Run"
  4. "Time"
  5. "The Great Gig in the Sky"
  6. "Money"
  7. "Us and Them"
  8. "Any Colour You Like"
  9. "Brain Damage"
  10. "Eclipse"

Let those who are without sin deny that track 5 is the life-changer.

That joke's been around since 1750 BC

Tell Ea-nasir: Nanni sends the following message:

When Jesus came, Jesus said to you as follows : "I will return when the time is right." Jesus left then but has not yet returned to you as promised. Now you look to my messenger (Sit-Sin) and ask: "Why, then, has Jesus not returned?"

What do you take me for, that Jesus would not return to me after visiting? Would you treat somebody like Jesus with such contempt? I have sent as messengers gentlemen like ourselves to invite Jesus to return several times, and that through enemy territory. Is there anyone among the merchants who trade with Telmun to whom Jesus has not returned?

You alone ask why this is so! Take cognizance that (from now on) Jesus shall exercise against you the right of rejection if you have treated him with contempt. How did you treat Jesus when he visited?

Other people have talked about how this is a middle-management job and what that would entail. I'm here to make a couple points:

  • reading up on the company is important. See if hey have made LinkedIn posts about the importance of "Digital Development". Look through their web pages and previous job posts to see if there are people with the job title "Digital Developer" and if so what they did.
  • the best situation is: you have a friend at that company who tells you "yeah, they're looking for someone to ..." Next best is someone in that field who tells you "yeah I've heard that company is trying to ..." or "that company really needs to ..." If you go to job fairs, get cards from everyone you can; if you had a card from someone at that company (even HR) you could try emailing or calling and saying "hi it was great meeting you at (place), by the way I've heard your looking for a Digital Developer, do you think my experience as A would fit the bill, or perhaps my experience as B?" If you don't have a card you could try looking at their web page for contact info and emailing them that question.
  • a lot of times job postings are vague bc they don't know wtf they want, they just know they need something that sounds like that. Send a cover letter that emphasizes your managerial experience, and be ready with as many anecdotes as you can about how you successfully crafted visions or identified problems or led teams to implement solutions while getting along with your peers. If you have experience in that field, great, but sometimes companies will be happy with an outsider's perspective. Good luck, fam!

I see you, fam! Sometimes I think that's why I like interacting here on Lemmy and getting upvotes; they're someone at least acknowledging my existence.

omfg that's right, this is microwaved.... The FAQ page is like: "Why do your Deep Dish pizzas not include the foil discs anymore?" and "My Deep Dish didn’t cook right in the microwave, am I doing something wrong?" I mean you might as well get a stack of cardboard and soak it in tomato sauce, at that point.

True story: a temp worker once moved into the desk next to mine, but they couldn't get their computer monintor just the right height. I told them to go to the library and ask for a book about this size, about so thick. And to pick a color they liked. (they didn't do it.)

Wow, this looks unappetizing even in the company's professionally-photographed marketing pages: https://chicagotown.com/the-range/deep-dish

Never heard of this brand before, and they claim to be the "number 1 pizza brand in America".

The more I look at this pizza, the more I feels bad for the guy in the picture. I'm so sorry your life turned out this way, Cecil.
