    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.

    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.....

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

    My Steam account is old enough to drink.

    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.

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

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

    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.

    Have to wait 6 more years to say something comparable. Accidentially hit "mark all read" or something once

    I hope she pays this intern

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

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

    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!

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

    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.

    That's still not a pay check.

    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?

    Mass generalizations are often wrong.

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

    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.

    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?

    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?

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

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

    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.
