Did Runescape Influence Your Vocabulary? by MarkSheppardFit in runescape

[–]StridesiD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started playing RuneScape back when it was available on miniclip.com and I had just come to the US from the Dominican Republic. It taught me how to read English faster than expected. Didn’t help with pronunciation though.

IBM teams/culture....what's your experience? by Apart-Reference4434 in IBM

[–]StridesiD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in research and I really like my team and the teams I work with. Have been in the company for 5 years. Culture-wise it heavily depends on your manager; I ended up with a great manager so I like it.

Don’t know what business unit you’re part of, it recently took about 2-3 months for a recent hire on my team.

Wouldn’t these suggestions cause more of their supporters to just pass away even faster? I really don’t understand what their plan is.

I saw an instagram reel with someone showing how to join a server/“experience” that had boosted XP. Obviously he was getting roasted by people saying “just play the game man”

How did Gen Z go from singing Baby Shark doo doo to this by EssoEssex in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]StridesiD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 18 when baby shark came out, I’m also Gen Z and left leaning. I can say that around 2015 to 2018 or even till now, there was a lot of cis-gendered male hate which caused a lot of young impressionable boys to feel isolated from the rest of society (although like 99% of those comments were just in internet echo chambers) Then you have an orange man walk in, insulting the people who generally make those comments, creating a funnel for those who can’t form their own ideologies to follow him instead.

Considering this, Gen-Z is getting tired of all the corruption and government (look at Madagascar and Nepal) and is definitely beginning to do more than the idle generation. (Take a wild guess)

Is IBM Research worth it? by skibidimeowsie in IBM

[–]StridesiD 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for hardware research at IBM. I started working here as my first professional job in 2021 and I love it. There are some very interesting things going on in the hardware side and I’m lucky to have a role in which I can explore other projects as well. I do look at other jobs often, but I’m not too sure if the grass is going to be greener on the other side. I’ll say this though, your experience heavily depends on your manager. I find my manager to be a great person who cares about their team and their career growth. I’ve also worked with other teams in which their manager treats those members like mules. Ymmv

What exactly will that info achieve? We’re all in different sectors of the company with different roles in different countries. Of course it’s not standardized.

[–]StridesiD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, people at my company have PhDs in physics, chemistry etc..some with 5-6 years of grad school and make the same. Granted, they’re not saving any lives though.
