Made me curious and I did the math, the girl who gave birth to her son two months after graduation, he can legally drink now.

God damn I'm going to need some more ibuprofen today.....

Mfw time goes forward and the years change

M137@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 326d (1 reply)

Mfw time goes forward faster and faster and the years change without asking first. And then your mind and soul never truly realising how much time has passed.

This effect can be really messed up once you have a kid and they get to the ages where you can remember childhood memories.

Things that took FOR FUCKING EVER as a kid just zip past in the blink of an eye when I'm the parent instead of the child.

Pretty sure deleting interns is frowned upon anyway.

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 14 pts · 327d (1 reply)

Unless you work for DOGE, that is. Then you can just delete entire departments and be praised for it.

That was the interns deleting departments

My Steam account is older than some of the newer people I work with.

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 23 pts · 327d (9 replies)

My Steam account is old enough to drink.

And we were pissed when we were forced to make one!

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 9 pts · 327d

I stayed on WON right up until it shut down and I had to go through Steam to play CS. I was 100℅ in favor of the idea of Steam, but in 2003 the implementation fucking sucked.

HeyJoe@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 327d (1 reply)

I used to use my friends and we would each buy games for a while. Then it just got annoying and decided to cut my losses and make my own. This concept was so new at the time it just seemed to make more sense sharing with someone.

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 3 pts · 326d

For a second I dead-ass thought you just went off to make your own games. lol

exu@feditown.com · 3 pts · 326d (2 replies)

Where?

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 8 pts · 326d (1 reply)

Anywhere. Unless some country has a higher drinking age than the US... 🤔

I looked it up. Apparently, some do.

Some parts of India: 25-30

I don’t like multi-game launchers, I only got a steam account when games stopped offering either direct download or cd/dvds.

That's insane to me. I'm almost 40. But I don't feel forty. I'm not 40 in my head.

As someone who feels OLDER than they are, be grateful!

Same thing happens when we hit 70. Just ask your folks.

buttnugget@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 325d

My mom (both parents are 76) told me she’s basically always felt approximately like she did in her 20s. I get what she meant by that, even if I don’t quite feel that young in my head now in my late 40s.

Two words. Hot. Mail

If Hotmail were launched today it would be a gay dating app.

TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 326d

I deleted my original Hotmail after it got hacked. However, I am keeping my Gmail despite Google's monopoly practices. My Gmail username is from a time when they allow addresses like g_star99@gmail.com or skankymistress@gmail.com.

Malfeasant@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 326d

I had a Hotmail account before Microsoft bought them...

derry@midwest.social · 1 pts · 326d

So I went and checked . Legit still have an email in my Hotmail account from 2008. I'm pretty sure I got the account in the 20th century.

infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net · 8 pts · 326d

Maybe she should read her emails in case her intern has to inform her of a sick day.

Normalize respecting young people's contributions, knowledge, and skills before mentioning their age...

Noodle07@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 324d

Imagine respecting interns !

Yeah thats fucked up

NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 326d

I wonder if there are any unread emails from the 70s.

Malfeasant@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 326d

I still have a Yahoo email account that I've had since 1997 I think... 7 letters, no numbers.

Always reminds me of that comic where the person jumps from like 18 to 30 to 50 to dead, still going “wait a sec…” It’s so true!

camelbeard@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 325d (1 reply)

Do you have a link or image?

buttnugget@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 324d

I can never find it because I don’t know what to search for! If I ever find it again, I’ll download it to my PC and try to remember to send it to you.

If you have interns your probably a shitty person.

meliaesc@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 326d (6 replies)

Summer interns will work 40 hours a week, receive PTO, and be eligible for paid holidays during the 11‑week cohort. Our main campuses provide free lunch Monday-Thursday in cafeterias featuring delicious and varied options. Valuing diversity in every way, we embed DE&I in everything we do. Interns may join Employee Resource Groups to connect with our diverse employee base. Relocation assistance may be provided on a case‑by‑case basis.

What's the problem here? Genuinely asking.

beejboytyson@lemmy.world · -4 pts · 326d (5 replies)

That's still not a pay check.

meliaesc@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 326d (1 reply)

It's paid... how could they offer Paid Time Off if it weren't paid in the first place? Are you assuming all internships are unpaid?

beejboytyson@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 326d

Not once did they claim the intershp was paid.

itsprobablyfine@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 326d (2 replies)

Umm, yes it is? When I was an intern I was making more money than I ever had in any service job. What are you on about?

beejboytyson@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 326d

"What are you on about" Google unpaid internship stereotype

beejboytyson@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 326d

That wasn't clear. In canada unpaid internship is illegal.

So not all nazis are bad?

dan1101@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 324d (1 reply)

Often wrong. Anyone identifying as a Nazi is at best mentally ill and at worst fully evil.

RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com · 1 pts · 320d (3 replies)

Do you know the difference between "often" and "always?"

beejboytyson@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 320d (2 replies)

Ya but you clearly don't. If Mass generalization is bad then you need to apply that logic to whenever you generalize a Mass of people, including nazis. Or all nazi are bad. You don't get you apply facts when you "feel" like it. Think more critically.

RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com · 0 pts · 320d (1 reply)

Yeah you definitely aren't thinking with this one. Well I hope you aren't anyway, given the result.

They said often wrong, not always. If they'd said always, you'd have a great point.

"Nazis are bad" is one of the exceptions that made them say "often" instead of "always."

Does that make sense to you yet?

beejboytyson@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 320d

So you change what words mean depending on when you need it too. Gj you sure cooked with this one.

mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 326d (5 replies)

ah yes, because providing the opportunity for true work experience in return for pay is such a terrible thing

Aren't American interns not paid, but instead "paid" with experience?

mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 326d

idk I'm thankfully not american

InputZero@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 326d (2 replies)

An intern from a University probably won't get paid but an intern from a Community College probably will get paid well.

MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 326d (1 reply)

What's higher education got to do with it? (I'm not American if that's not obvious by the way)

InputZero@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 325d

Interns are another name for co-op. Higher education is where most of that happens. A lot of high schools will have internship programs too but those are different. So most interns are higher education students that have taken an internship over their summer.
