By old ways, do you mean in-person interviews and work?

Because I won’t lie, I do find it easier to collaborate, focus, and communicate with my coworkers in-person, as opposed to the days I work remotely (I do a combination of in-person and work-from-home). And while I think it’s unfair to be denied a job for not being sociable enough (I’m very much in the same boat), the overall idea of wanting employees who communicate with and get along with their coworkers better isn’t inherently wrong.

Since I’m a vegetarian, a common question I’ve been asked since I was a kid was “If you were trapped on an island and the only food was meat, would you eat it?”

Or something to that effect. It’s been asked dozens of times to me before and every time it’s asked, the person asking acts like it’s some novel thought experiment I haven’t considered before.

Not only is a situation like that extremely unlikely to ever happen, but if it does, the answer isn’t any more complicated than a yes/no

Another question I hate are all of those “Would you do for X sum of money? No? Then what if we upped the money? What’s the minimum sum you’d do it for?”

The most common example of “repulsive thing” is usually incest. And it’s just an annoying question that isn’t even entertaining to answer.

The Super Mario Galaxy duology has the best overall OST in my opinion. The orchestral music is amazing for so many of the tracks.

For any individual song, however. It would be Weight of the World from Nier Automata. For context:

EDIT: I want to give an honorable mention to the Ace Attorney OST, across all of their games. A lot of people may know the Pursuit - Cornered theme, but every game in that series has banger tracks. Not as widely praised, and very underrated imo, hence the honorable mention.

Having studied history of world leaders as a bit of a hobby, I’m more biased in that regard

But I’d go with Lester Pearson

Been listening to more of them recently, and songs like Dark Necessities have been stuck in my head lmao

Coldplay is among my favorite bands, absolutely agree there

A lot of people criticize the direction they’ve taken recently, and while I don’t keep up with their newest releases, Viva la Vida is still one of my favorite songs. And other tracks like Paradise, Sky Full of Stars, etc. will always be fun for me to listen to as well

I didn’t know Duran Duran was even disliked lmao

Been listening to Rio by DD as inspiration for a writing piece, and it’s a pretty good song imo

Going through the Red Rising series, which some of my friends praise immensely. Lightbringer just came out, though I’m only just finished Morning Star, book 3/6 in the series. Going to be starting Iron Gold soon. But until them, I’m reading 1984, which I just acquired a nice hardcover copy of.

And even with the apps, you’re still able to pay for premium versions, like Reddit Premium for instance Could be that despite the app costing 0 euros up front, it can’t be labelled truly free because micro-transactions exist

Probably to express that a social media app that is largely unheard of managed to make it onto Austrian top 200 list when Reddit, a far more popular platform, could not.

I wish people would be more mature about their reaction to this, as well as other people’s reactions, regardless of whether they agree or disagree with the choice.

I’m not opposed to piracy, though I understand the risks that come with a platform allowing potentially pirated content. While I respect the decision and see the reasoning behind it, I don’t agree with it, and will likely change my home instance to one that allows me to continue communicating with those communities, as I was subscribed to one of them.

I’ll still be participating in communities hosted here, and I hope that with this decision, the admins’ concern about being potentially sued is substantially alleviated.

Pretty much the main two that I use as well lmao

The fact that this is done under the name of an admin going by “ModCodeOfConduct” is added salt in the wound.

Implying that it’s the code of conduct to blindly obey all bullshit from the admins, never protest any changes that they made, and the like… Fucking ridiculous

Of course! I made a post here: https://lemmy.world/post/2002082

I just have the icons I made so far saved on a google drive folder

But yeah, like I mentioned on the post, if there’s any kind of icon you want designed, feel free to ask and I’ll see what I can whip up

Group of friends is always nice, and there’s something atmospheric about watching a film in theaters. I watched Oppenheimer and Across the Spiderverse with my pals recently, and sitting in the reclining seats, putting your feet up, and seeing the film on such a massive screen in a dark theater is a great experience.

It feels more immersive, and the theater speakers make orchestral soundtracks and dialogue sound all the more impactful. Of course, this is all subjective, and I tend to be pretty eccentric, so there’s a good chance it may not live up to the hype.

To put it simply, I’d say its a more enjoyable experience than watching at home, and watching it with friends makes for some good memories. My pals and I still talk about movies we went to see in theaters years and years back.

Indeed. It’s still a good rule of thumb to remember and teach to kids getting used to the internet. Post something on social media that you might regret later, and there’s absolutely a chance that it gets downloaded, reuploaded, and circulated without your consent. Which at that point, it’s too late to control.

It’s useful lesson: think twice before uploading something to make sure you won’t regret it later.

The Ace Attorney community would absolutely agree

Thanks! Apologies for the delay, was out this entire morning and just got back to my PC. Two files should be added to the drive folder named Lemmy_WhiteOutline and Lemmy_WhiteFill. One of the two should be what you’re looking for, but if not, just lemmy know

Thanks! Just added the circle-less vanced ones to the folder

Same goes for SquareHome as well, the Android Launcher that I use. I’m not sure if stock android has the option to let you edit app icons, but most custom launchers should
