Sometimes it's better if your employer doesn't know everything you can do. If you're not careful you'll end up Inventory Controller/shipper/IT services/reception/Safety officer, and you'll only ever be paid for whatever your initial position was.

"GOD: An Anatomy" by Francesca Stavrakapoulou.

"An astonishing and revelatory history that re-presents God as he was originally envisioned by ancient worshippers—with a distinctly male body, and with superhuman powers, earthly passions, and a penchant for the fantastic and monstrous."

I have one folder for movies, one for kids movies, shows etc. It takes some work, but for sorting similar titles I just click on the show and edit the meta data. There's "Title", and "sort title", so in the case of Star wars and its sequels I leave "title" for Starwars, empire, and Jedi the same but change "sort title" to starwars1, starwars2, starwars3. Same goes for Harry Potter for the kids, or anything in a series with a subtitle rather than a number.

Don't be so hung up on getting a job you hate. The secret they don't tell you is that pretty well everyone hates their job. Get out and pursue things that seem interesting to you, and don't be afraid that you won't be good enough, that was my big downfall when I was younger. Since then I've held many wildly different jobs.

I started pursuing IT since I love computers, but ended up hating being an on-call computer janitor. I did fire surpression, then IT sales (hated that too), then randomly got a job on the railroad. After bouncing around the railroad I have now ended up as Jack of all trades master of none handyman that does maintenance for a nonprofit, and I love it.

I was more surprised than anyone to find out that I preferred working with my hands, and working outdoors. I had always dreamed of a cushy job with a nice office where I could wear fancy shoes. But now I'm a nerd for workboots who absolutely does not thrive in an office environment.

But essentially I'm saying try not to sweat it. It may take you a long time to settle into something you like. Don't be afraid to go outside your comfort zone because you just might like it.

My daughters don't watch much wrestling with me, but they really like Trinity and Jody Threat (we're an impact house).

There's three ways to do a job. The right way, the wrong way, and the rail way. Also it was the great white north!

I worked for for the railroad. Nothing is fixed ever. I witnessed hundreds of code violations every day for years. Doesn't matter if a rail car or locomotive meets code as long as it "can travel" its good to go.

When an employee inspector finds a defective rail car management determines if it will get fixed. If the supervisor "feels" like "it's not that bad" then the rail car is "let go".

Of course I know that. And I did die. Just mildly. WooooooOOOOOOOooooooo!

I have been pleasantly surprised the last several days. I was a little disappointed with the content at first (though I did enjoy how it felt like the "old" internet), but now that the apps have rapidly improved (connect is great!), and I've started subscribing to some interesting communities I really love it. It's like a kinder gentler reddit.

Both is the answer. You do look hot doing chores. Also chores done is a turn on. It's like oysters and chocolate, but your house is tidy and it's not gross.

As a man who mildy electrocuted himself working on his own house yesterday I must say I'd rather be an influencer.

[SOLVED] I had to enter my email and not username to make reset password work 🤦

So I've been browsing lemmy and this instance for a couple weeks using the jerboa app for Android and thought I'd try another app to see if I liked it better. However I can't find lemmy or sh.itjust.works in my password manager, or anything in my email. So I using my Brower I went to reset my password and the password reset button is greyed out. What do?

edit This might (probably?) be the wrong place to post this. My apologies if so, I'm still fairly unfamiliar with how lemmy works.
