silencioso, in What are some modern bullshit jobs?

If your job main tool is PowerPoint then there’s a high probability that your job is a bullshit job.

Smkia,

Cries in teacher

JackGreenEarth,

Teachers’ jobs are anything but bullshit. However, the modern schooling system sucks, teachers shouldn’t be doing/have to do what they currently do.

Free Media Heck Yeah. The largest collection of Free stuff on the Internet

fmhy.net

Tum,

This is amazing. I am in love with this site already. Thanks for sharing!

No problem! So many resources on that site.

Blaze, in Why is lemmy so bad at determining trending communities?
@Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I usually use !trendingcommunities , much more reliable

No idea if this is obscure or not, but for creating diagrams I’ve found draw.io a very useful free website/tool (there’s an offline version).
The ability to hide the entire model inside the png is really neat. You can upload the png in a wiki and later on just import it to alter it again.

wewbull,

Excalidraw is my favourite. Make diagrams look like sketches so that people don’t take them too seriously.

thelsim,
@thelsim@sh.itjust.works avatar

That looks quite interesting. Draw.io has a sketch option but they always look the same. This one really makes unique shapes every time create an object. Could be quite handy for quick throwaway designs. Thank you for the recommendation.

dirtySourdough,

I’m gonna try this one today, thanks!

Middle management

simple, in Does lemmy have videos now?

No, but you can link to an external video. Unfortunately videos are very taxing on servers (and therefore expensive to deal with), so it’s unlikely we’ll see them in Lemmy in the near future.

catbox.moe is my usual choice

wiby.me

Searches for web pages without JavaScript. The Surprise me! option is fun for finding random ass old sites too

edit: mapfight.xyz

Compare the size of any two landmasses.

Thanks for that wilby link. Wow, this takes me back. What a joy to read the web like this once again!

Capricorny90210,

I have had a lot of fun with the surprise me option.

negativenull,

Surprise me: batheinmymilk.com

Um…wtf…

hperrin,

You only get one shot. Do not miss your chance to bathe. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, Dave.

Better email her right away!

Edit: I clicked the link, it’s a comedian’s Patreon. Alan Wagner, never heard of him.

Love to take some wiby dives from time to time.

This time I landed on this cute little page for a married couple that posted newsletters and stuff for family and friends. Basically, they made their own Facebook page and bought a domain with their name and everything, been running it since like the mid 2000s it looks like. Even a whole ham radio section the husband put together. I was enjoying it till it became increasingly clear these two are fairly wealthy and I lost interest.

LegionEris, in What piece of song lyric you can really relate to?

Oh god so many I could ruin this post. Music is my most important processing art, and many of the musicians I listen to are very important to me. So I’ll limit myself:

“We took a weekend, drove to Provo.

The snow was white and fluffy.

A weekend in Utah won’t fix what’s wrong with us

The grey sky was vast and real cryptic above me.”

The Mountain Goats ~ The Mess Inside.

Because the work to get better and overcome truama isn’t easy or short. I’ve done a lot of wonderful things with my wife, and we’ve both come incredibly far from our truamas. But most of the nice things we’ve done had very little impact on that recovery. To paraphrase a Ray Ramano bit from SNL, you’re still gonna be you in Italy.

“I don’t fall in love, I plummet.” ~Ashley Virginia ~I Don’t Fall in Love

“You can’t stay everywhere you leave a piece of your heart.” ~Little Mazarn ~Vermont

These two go together. I fall in love–with people, places, things, experiences–with abandon. I can be slow to let things in, especially people, because once I do it is quickly a no holds barred environment. It’s what the Uhaul key on my necklace means. Because of that, I can’t stay everywhere or keep everyone I love. I have to know when and what to let go, when and where to hold on.

Finally I guess I’m gonna wholly belie all notions of brevity with a whole god damn Diane Cluck song:

"Somethin’ loosened around my heart

From where it was bound, it fluttered around

This funny motion first mistaken as attack

I realize and step back

With real eyes, I step back

And let it happen

Knitted so snug inside my chest

Iron lungs, ribs as rungs

Those who care to try and climb me

Sometimes say it’s hard to find me

Still, in reflex, I would shout

When I began spilling out

Weeping clearly as a blister

“Hey, I’m here, " you almost missed her

And I have so much for you (Na-na-na-na-na-na)

Do you know how I get shy to show you?

I fill up, tender, with a glow (Na-na-na-na-na-na)

Fluff and puff as I try to show you

Display my falling feathers

As they leave me in this weather

The days, they go so quickly

Can’t even stop them

Don’t even want to”

Diane Cluck ~Heartloose

I usually have to listen to this song twice. It’s so short, but so dense. Every bit of it shakes me. I don’t have time to enumerate the ways this song applies, appeals, affects, and relates to me. Diane Cluck is so important to me.

Whisper06, in Which organism would you most like to be able to conduct an extended translated interview with?

Corvids

Moobythegoldensock, in How do I explain to a person that the "red pill mentality" is stupid?

It’s stupid because:

  • Women are not some single homogenous group. Every woman is a unique person, just like men are.
  • Everyone by default deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, including women.
  • Being an asshole doesn’t make you more likable.
  • Instead of trying to hack your way into a relationship, have you tried actually dating someone?
PoliticalAgitator,

Women are not some single homogenous group. Every woman is a unique person, just like men are.

Actually I think you’ll find that all women everywhere can be extrapolated from 5 shit takes on Twitter, one of which was a joke and one of which was a far-right LARPer /s

1984,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

There are books about how to manipulate women. I read one of those and felt sick. No normal man can write stuff like that, publish it, and feel good about himself. Jesus.

Moobythegoldensock,

I personally manipulate my wife into loving me by being a responsible husband and loving father.

Am I doing it right?

1984,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yes that kind of manipulation is quite alright. :)

TopRamenBinLaden,

Based and dadpilled.

ElleChaise,

Normal men don't read it either. We're potentially raising more broken young men than we've seen in the last hundred years. And when the aftershocks arrive, people will act surprised like they always do.

1984,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

It’s by design. I know it sounds a bit lame, but it’s obvious the west is not spending money on creating healthy kids and adults.

WookieMonster, in Which organism would you most like to be able to conduct an extended translated interview with?
@WookieMonster@midwest.social avatar

My dog. What the heck goes through her tiny dumb, dumb brain? I mean, I’m sure it would be about 90% “feed me! pet my belly! give me cookies!” But that other 10% might explain a lot.

Bishma, in Do you know of any obscure useful websites?
@Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

This To That tells you what type of adhesive to use to glue different materials together. It’s handy for Halloween when suddenly you need to figure out how to attach vinyl to styrofoam or something (hot glue)

Mr_Blott,

Useless in every country except one though. Never heard of these brands

Sklrtle,

I agree it would be better if the site included brands from other countries too, but it can still be used as a starting point. I’m sure you could Google the item and figure out the equivalent where you’re from.

TheGreenGolem,

A small instance of USDefaultism, but I appriciate OP’s thought.

SatyrSack,

Seems to be Canadian, not US

RBWells, in What piece of song lyric you can really relate to?

There are so many. Father John Misty, the cheeky bastard, writes lyrics so well. In Goodbye Mr. Blue -

When the last time was our last time, if only then I knew that the last time was our last time, would have told you that the last time comes too soon.

And from The Head and the Heart back when they were making magic with Josiah Johnson -

The world keeps spinning, a little too fast. If we don’t slow down soon it might not last. So just for a moment, just for a moment, let’s be still.
