Those smiley fucks have got it coming, I swaer.

He may have been sued unjustly, but he also isn’t currently a paste at the bottom of the ocean, so who is really laughing now?

I have to do this command often at work and I can never remember the letters perfectly. This is actually useful, thanks!

It was a joke about the significant portion of lemmy users also being Linux users. Also that Linux users ( like myself) would be oblivious that somebody could dislike Linux or not be interested. So it is assumed that they must like Linux then and would care about things Linux users care about. With the magic of circular reasoning, you can then say that since they must obviously love Linux that they would then agree with the person and want to hear what they say.

It was a far stretch for a joke but I will stand by it.

They said issues that they don’t care about. If that were the case, they would logically only agree. So that can’t be it.

A Dungeon & Daddies reference is not what I expected to see today either.

Be the change you want to see in this world.

If you are lying about this, then that means you only tell the truth. However, if you only tell the truth, that means you can’t lie. So you cannot say you only lie on Lemmy comments because that would be a lie and therefore not the truth. So if you are lying ERROR ErROr ErrOR PAroDOx deTECteD!!!

It is the only thing I can associate with Wayland and Nvidia. What other possibilities can there be?

I would like to say you have been very helpful and I think have settled on taking your advice. No matter how this ends, I could still end up with a good friend. I would be lying if I said I wouldn’t be a bit disappointed though. However, that’s life and she has no obligation to me.

Also I have no idea who the guy was or what role he played to her. I assumed it was a lower level employee but you bring up a good point there.

She was working on some self assigned homework. So it was not work related.

1. She is in a higher position than I am, I just have a skillset she doesn’t.

2. As far as I know, that is not the case.

I already got together with her outside of work on non-related work tasks.

Yeah, if I had to guess, she is currently trying to figure out what she wants. Or I could be completely wrong and the girl is just hungry for Linux knowledge. Which is also great because we need more of those kind of people.

Lol, I was hoping someone would get my reference.

This is a very good take. She had told me that she feels imposter syndrome and that she enjoys talking to me. It would also explain some of her behavior. As I work in the tech field, just about everyone has imposter syndrome, so I reassured her that she is great at her job and she’s got this. She really is good at it and I hope she knows it.

I don’t think she is using me in a malicious manner, I mean, I did technically offer that I would teach her. I was just surprised she took up the offer.

Although you reminded me of something. A week prior to me meeting her, one of my coworkers was learning under her when he went to go help out. Apparently a guy came up to her while this happened and asked her out. She turned him down for the reason it would be inappropriate for her to date someone where there is this power dynamic.

My coworker told me this and that might be the nail in my coffin. However, it is also possible she just used it as an excuse to not have to deal with turning him down more harshly. I could believe both things. Hense more confusion, why make an exception to hang out with me then?

I agree.

That doesn’t even make any sense, I don’t work for her. I just offered to help. Even if she did need to talk to me, she would use teams chat as electronics are not allowed in the area, only work laptops. I didn’t mention that earlier because it didn’t seem necessary.

I also am hourly so nobody calls me when I am not working. She also isn’t using it for that purpose either.

This girl is playing 4D chess while I am trying to figure out how to get in the door.

I appreciate both of your advice.I think you are right about the confidence thing. I will need to increase that. I just don’t understand why she would set the idea her doing her own thing and then immediately abandoning it if she didn’t need to do it in the first place.

If she is willing to ask for my number and meet me on my off days to chat, it is not a stretch to want to see what her motivations are and if they match my own. In our case it would likely be more frowned upon than firable. That’s a chance I am willing to take if she is.

Also we don’t really work together so she is not my boss. I just happened to help out for a short time. She may never see me at work again for all I know.
