The strange thing about reddit refugees on Lemmy is that they have this weird sense that the platform they left actually died when they did so. The trith is that the vast majority did not migrate and are happily eating their spoonfed shit.

When we say it's dead, we mean what is used to be is dead. But let's not pretend the site actually died or is no longer working. We can all (justifiably) think it's a shit filled shell of it's former self without being in denial.

Why do you think it requires you to lie? If you're lying on your resume it's (I can only assume) you are not actually qualified for the position you are applying for. I also assume that you are at more of an entry level in terms of your skills/qualifications. Is that accurate?

If you have success with that strategy good for you, but I'll caution others - as you get further in your career, interviews get longer and more in depth. If you say you know how to do something, you are often asked technical questions on that thing, or in-depth questions on how you'd implement that thing/skill/strategy/into the position. As others have said lying and embellishing are not the same thing. You can oversell your skill to a degree, but be prepared to need to put in extra work (probably off the clock and in your own time) to get yourself to the skill level you said you had. You may not need to! But in some positions, you may be RELIED on for that skill you're not as good at as you said you were.

Also - UPDATE your resume and keep it current. If you learned a new thing and can do it, put it on there before you forget you did it. Also, prioritize. Remove old things from your resume as you get further into your career and those skills/accomplishments are less impactful or Relevant. Replace with newer things. Keep track of what's going on in your field and stay up to date with buzz words and topics and be able to speak to them even if it's not your area of expertise.

I assume it's because they don't have a very good resume and won't get called/interviewed otherwise.

Sorry if this is a dumb but I legit never got into Twitter, and I only use Instagram to follow friends and bands I like.

How do I Mastadon? I'm not being sarcastic, not even a little. Like I literally have absolutely no concept of what I'm supposed to do on it or how to engage with it. Same with pixelfed tbh, like I open it, I see a milliong posts that have no comments or likes, I get confused and then I leave.

Like what do you do? How do you use it? Pretend I'm one of the idiot journalists this post is making fun of, happy to jump on that self-accepting sword!

You got band for being an asshole on an instance that doesn't allow assholes. I'm not really seeing the parallel.

If there is street parking there too, it sounds like someone was smash and grabbing from the cars.

Jumping in puddles. I almost never get the chance anymore, but if I have boots on and there's a puddle YOU BEST BE PREPARED

 

Hey Beehaw friends. I made a community over on the reddthat.com instance where musicians can share cover songs they’ve made or collaborated on! I didn’t see anything like this on Lemmy so far, and wanted to make a place where people can share and get advice/help! If you’re a musician and have cover videos of anything (open to all genres), please come post!

 

Here's a cool mic'd up highlight video from the Golden Knights game 5 Cup Clinching win over Florida!

 

Mic'd Up highlights from game five of the Stanley Cup Final!

 

"Angry Music for Happy People"

August Burns Red (ABR) is probably my favorite band of all time, and yesterday they announced that their album "Rescue and Restore" is being repressed for the first time in celebration of it's tenth birthday! So I thought I'd share my favorite song off the album. It's a song about losing someone you love, and something that most people can (unfortunately) relate to.

One of their slogans, as I referenced above, is angry music for happy people. Their singer started a mental health focused gym recently (your life gym), and as a band they recently organized and hosted "Heart Support" festival. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I hope some of you enjoy it! I'll post the lyrics in a separate comment if anyone cares to read them.

 

My wife and I have been complaining about how our trash cans keep getting infested with creepy crawlies that that build nests in the wheels out of the plant debris nearby. I had no idea how go best go about fixing this, so I just did it. I bought ten of these 16x16" paver stones, dug down a little, and used that big ass wood beam thing in the photo as a sort of leveler. It's actually blacktop about 4" down, so compaction should be minimal. Once I had them flush and evenly spaced, I backfilled around the edges so they stay flush and not shift too much. Then I hosed the area down a few times and added more backfill anywhere that settled or had gaps remaining.

We are redoing the landscaping at the house next year, so this won't be permanent, but for now it should help keep the area free of debris, and be less appealing to bugs.

 

First, I'm sorry if this isn't 100% on brand, I know that this is more of a community betterment aimed community, but I wanted to post here because it can be very hard/overwhelming to take on personal improvement projects when you're not sure how to do them. So I was hoping it would help people! Mods if this is too off topic, I 100% am good with you deleting it.

Then I backfilled around the edges so they sit fairly flush and won't settle too much. It won't be perfect, but long term we want to replant this area of the yard anyway. Not every solution needs to be the very best or permanent, even if it just helps for a little while, it helps!
