You would do well to organize this thing off-internet. For every normal person on Reddit, there's 50 basement-dwellers who think Antifa is a good group and that Patriot Front is a sizable Nazi force completely overtaking the city....And that blocking roads to make people late for work or die on their way to the hospital is a great way to rally the community to your crappy group of hypocritical ideology.

What you are suggesting would work for everyday people who treat trans people like people, but don't bend over backwards into idiocy to accommodate them in order to virtue signal...or people who can have healthy disagreements on current/former government policies without demonizing the other side. Or people who, instead of screaming for a need for government resources for the homeless, would instinctively know that THOSE resources require their OWN resources.

What you are looking for are casual, everyday left-wingers/right-wingers/straight/gay/black/white/Atheist/Christian people.

These people largely don't exist on Reddit as a whole, but I'm in full agreement with you and your proposal.

PM'd you. Thank you!

It isn't changing. I'm explaining what a referral is and how it isn't as personal as a letter of recommendation. If you're an employee on a job site, you wouldn't refer someone you met on that said job site if you felt they were incompetent, but you don't have to be their friend, either. It's a softer judge of character than a reference or recommendation.

You could know enough about a person you met online to refer them, but it would be unwise to write a letter or recommendation for them or let them use you as a reference. These are three separate things. My story isn't changing.

Not at all. Perhaps you are thinking of a letter of reference. A referral is when a current employee tells you about an open position at their company. There is a portion on job applications that say "were you referred to us by a current employee of (so and so company)? If so, whom?"

You don't need a close, personal relationship with Joe Schmoe who works for Dish Network and tells you they are hiring and that you should apply, but Joe Schmoe would indeed be referring you at that point.

Well referrals on job applications are usually in reference to current employees at said company/organization. Maybe I misunderstood your reply.

To clarify, I'm talking about the portion of the job application that says "were you referred by a current (insert company/organization name here) employee? If so, whom?"

Thank you. I figured it would be a long shot, but it couldn't hurt to shoot my shot.

I'm not really seeing how what I'm asking for is unethical. Can you explain?

To clarify, I'm not asking anyone to lie and say I'm their best friend from childhood, but that I seem to be a solid guy that they met on the internet. I would actually want to do some back and forth with someone over PM to give them more of my background and whatnot before they refer me.

Thanks!!!

Kk thanks. Just wanted to make sure that innocent strangers weren't randomly getting murdered while going for an afternoon walk. Makes me feel better.

I'm in the process of moving there, so.

(Not from Springfield here) so what's up with the murders I hear about in Springfield? Are these typically gang/drug related? Surely these aren't random people getting shot/stabbed most of the time, right?
