I originally thought it said “Banksy seed pods” and was like “damn, where can’t that dude create art?”

Bean-posting is the inside joke around Lemmy. Every once in awhile, the whole place goes ape over beans.

Had a similar situation happen at one of my old workplaces. Super culty. You’ll survive.

In addition to what others said (namely, that companies tend not to give “references” anymore, but instead give “verification”, which is where they confirm the dates of employment), if you need references, I recommend getting coworkers who liked you to write a letter of recommendation and send it directly to you for you to include with your job applications.

You can whip up a “letter of recommendation” template to send to your work friends, then just ask them not to include a date on their letter. I’ve been reusing some old letters of recommendation for years and future employers seem to appreciate that I include them in my app.

Yep, this approach exactly.

I hope you like beans

Hell yeah! Now go get blackout drunk

Yeah, I’ve seen this one more

This is every dang day of my life!

need to get on ADHD meds.

I would go on long nighttime walks on the nature trails near my home.

1. I wouldn’t mind the bugs because I’m a tiger.
2. I wouldn’t get tired or sweaty because I’m a tiger.
3. I wouldn’t be arrested for walking on the trails at night because I’m invisible.
4. The hobos who live on the trails wouldn’t be able to see me because I’m a tiger and I’m very stealthy.

Shit’s got runes on it.

“Pawbably”. Adorable.

Cordyceps fungus. Prion diseases like Chronic Wasting Disease.

Both are horrible

Damn, I’m the only one using Mlem?

I always feel like the features I’ve worked on become my coworkers or like pets. When a specific feature breaks often, I’ll think “damnit Frank! One of these days I’m going to patch that edge case once and for all!”

Then I patch Frank and he quiets down so I can focus on the next thing leadership wants.

You get to know these things and you put care into designing them (if you didn’t put care into them, you’d likely be a hack of an IT person). It’s always hard to see them go.

Sorry for your loss.

I don’t really know anything about China, so I really can’t say.

Yup. It’s phuckin awesome

You may be joking, but as long as you’re actually good at what you do, being a dickhead can be a winning strategy.

I’ve never been able to do it myself, but know many who have.

Great perspective and approach. If someone like you even has a modicum of emotional intelligence, they’d be one of the best leads I’ve ever seen.

Sales. No joke — the knowledge you need has a hard cap (the product line) but sales is commonly the highest-paid entry level employee (as long as you hit commission).

Now add a line in here for “effort” flattening out over time and that’s what I wanna see.
