@lucifargundam It loads now. That was funny. I guess I'm an alien from Omicron Persei 8.

@onlmaps Neat. Looks like us Dutchies might have the longest name for that insect. ;)

@PawelK That sentence makes a slight bit more sense... but who are the followers of Hitler then? What you linked to isn't talking about this at all?

@faticake It's a word joke.

I said 'goede houdgreep' which means a good holding grip.

My dad made 'houtgreep' out of it, which means wooden grip. I'm holding wood in my arms. Sounds the same.

So he said he's got an 'ijzergreep' which means 'iron grip' because he's holding metal tools in the box.

It's really lame. ;)

@AstralPegasus98@fosstodon.org Fair enough! I can relate with the r/all waste of time, yes.

@koreymoffett

@AstralPegasus98@fosstodon.org Just wondering why it's bad for your mental health? If you stick to the subreddits you're interested in (related to a software or game or whatnot) or to the heartwarming subreddits (like eyebleach or similar)?

@koreymoffett

@lucifargundam It does look automated or copied from each other a lot. But hey, you can always try, can't you? Unless it's some sort of 'noreply@' email. Just be sincere and ask you'd like to improve yourself for future applications.

@BathysphereHat Ah, then maybe that's why people are talking about Avatar. I won't go out of my way to watch it but someday I might see it anyway. The lore of that franchise isn't that bad, but I prefer the bending guys myself.

@BathysphereHat Haven't really seen them beyond the first movie. Is there a second movie incoming maybe? (Or if that already exists, third? Or if _that_ already exists, fourth? Yeah, I've not been keeping up, lol!)

@lucifargundam What I'm thinking is... have you tried sending a message back in the vein of 'Heya, bummer that I am not considered for this position. What I'd like to know is how I could improve my application for future interviews. I wonder if you could enlighten me and give me some tips?'

Well, that general idea. Maybe some might respond with useful information?

*eyeroll* My dad just did a dad joke to me. :P It's in Dutch though..

Dad: Je kan deze doos met gereedschap naar mijn auto dragen, of 5 planken.
Ik: Ik doe die planken wel.

Onderweg naar zijn auto...
Dad: Ik denk dat ze ongeveer even zwaar zijn.
Ik: Het valt wel mee, ik heb de planken in een goede houdgreep.
Dad: Ja, jij hebt de planken in een goede houtgreep, ik heb dit doos in een goede ijzergreep.

Ik: *groan*
