I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.
I’m generally curious and/or trying to get a sense of people’s views.
This does seem to come closer to what I was wondering about when I originally posted, good eye!
OP asks the real life equivalent of being AFK which, assuming you’re normally regularly online, only really corresponds to being high or sleeping.
The funny thing is, it didn’t occur to me how vague my question was until after I posted and started seeing the replies. That’s made it more fun tbh, and interesting as in this context (online vs. in real life) I’ve not really thought of being online in such individualistic terms as this and some other replies suggest.
Is there something mystical to this?
Does it sometimes seem like commenting in high traffic online spaces feels this way too, not just Reddit?
Second, as a disposable, dead layer, it also provides protection against UV light and such. We don’t think of living out of water under the direct radiation from the sun as being particularly difficult or the environment harsh, because we casually do it every day, but it was a very hard problem for life to solve.
Oh yeah, that’s a good point! I’d typically be more concerned with the drying out part for a lot of aquatic life, forgetting about the UV exposure issues.
Huh, thanks for the detailed reply! I suspected some of them must have something extra going on to help their time in the water, but wouldn’t have thought this!
Were you able to feel how dry the otter was through the sealed fur, or was it sealed enough that you couldn’t really tell?
I was looking for a word that might immediately resolve questions regarding how it might work and the like, to avoid those follow-up questions and free people up to answer however they imagine it would work. It’s…Kinda worked? Aside from a few replies like this, which I don’t mind, I just wanted to encourage people to roll with it as they will
duplicate duplicate, unless there’s something you’d prefer with multiplidicity
Only an existential crisis? What about existential crises?
While Lemmy doesn’t have enough people for each product category yet, have you checked out the community !buyitforlife@slrpnk.net?
There’s also !recommendations@lemmy.world for broader discussion, but it’s not gained much traction yet.
Anyways. I know you probably wanted a story that was more interesting than depressing, but that’s just one that really stuck with me from that point in my life there. I don’t think that’s a normal experience for a Night Auditor to have, so I wouldn’t take my experience as a reason to dissuade anyone from taking the position, but you asked for a story, and so you got one.
Even a depressing story is interesting in its own way, so I appreciate it all the same! I can see why the experience stuck with you, it’s a rough situation to find oneself in for almost all involved
For those interested in discussing their job searches, did you know there’s a !jobs@lemmy.world community? Not terribly active at the moment, but given the discussion here there seems to be some potential interest
Any odd stories from that job?
While largely true, I was also thinking of filtering/sorting systems within specific sites (e.g. stores/archives/etc.) as well, which may result in similar junk results but fewer than with a search engine.
Asking similarly as I did with a Twitter post, because I think it’s worth discussing (and people should want others to leave the corporate enclosures so info on the internet may move more freely):
How might we help and encourage people to leave Reddit?
What is the ontology of a concept or idea? If nothing doesn’t exist materially but strictly conceptually, does it not exist or is there a different term one should employ to refer to it? 🤔
Thanks for the pointers, I’ll have to give’em a look! Eusociality does sound right in line with what I was wondering about, but hadn’t heard of it before!
I thought of “surfing the web” as more of a superficial approach personally. I was thinking more along the lines of “researching” or digging through sites with a similar topic but each went deeper or in different directions than the first.
Although on second thought and a little looking around, it looks like “net diver” never took off as its own term? What strange rocks have I been under? 😵
Have you seen Publii yet? Dunno how well it works on Linux, but there’s a version for Linux as well.
Appreciate the reply! It’s a cool way to view it in individual terms. I was thinking in more social terms, however, which I’ve been a little fascinated to find seems to be a little atypical from the replies so far.
