Fuck employers, everything is TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE

Young men are bound to grow up with an AI NPC girlfriend in one of their favorite video games in the next decade +.

This is going to be a weird one

I think you probably need some professional help, and also I think the way you look at social media is very different from how others look at social media.

Reddit isn’t Wikipedia or any type of online encyclopedia. It’s social media. It’s Twitter, it’s Facebook, it’s TikTok, etc

I’m getting tired of Musk, left wing news stories and left wing memes myself

I’ll join these communities simply because lemmy seems so one dimensional looking through my feed.

If there is non-political content here, I’d appreciate it being brought more to the front, at least for my own feed.

I’m hoping for more diverse topics than what seems to hit all day after day. To the point where I’m usually not even logging in as often as I could be.

The topics are boring, one sided and just … lame

I don’t think anyone cares that she’s fat, but it sounds like she lied about her weight in a situation where it was important to tell the truth.

Your argument is like saying it’s insensitive to people with addiction issues if a cop pulls over an alcoholic and asks if he’s had anything to drink and he says ‘nope’

It’s a safety issue, it’s not bigotry

It’s pretty confusing

“UHD features a 16:9 aspect ratio and is twice the resolution of full HD. In other words, two times 1080p, two times 1920 x 1080 pixels, that is 3840 x 2160 pixels. Having the same 16:9 aspect ratio means it is backward compatible with other HD derivates. However, both 4K and UHD can be shortened to 2160p to match the HD standard and therefore, companies use the terms interchangeably.”

“If you think 4K and UHD are one and the same, I don’t blame you. I blame the companies that LOVE to use them interchangeably all the time. You pick up a Blu-Ray movie disc of a 4K movie and you will most definitely see an Ultra HD label on it. 4K is actually not a consumer display and broadcast standard but UHD is. 4K displays are used in professional production and digital cinemas and feature 4096 x 2160 pixels”

Don’t lie, that’s bad advice. Instead, be honest just like you been here.

Tell them “I’ve owned my own business for the last several years, but covid hit me pretty hard. I haven’t had a manager that I’m still in contact with prior to those years”

This is very sad, and preventable.

Reading the article it sounds like this woman unfortunately just spent too much time on social media reading all the doom and gloom of the media and people amplifying it in places like reddit, Twitter and Facebook.

wanted to live in a land disconnected from the world, which she viewed as chaotic and dangerous

she and her teenage son could be happy and safe away from the news, the viruses, the politics of modern-day America

had been “discouraged with the state of the world”

Rebecca Vance’s fears intensified during the pandemic

Consuming too much of this crap has really affected peoples mental health, from Trump, to BLM riots, racism, covid, it’s broken some people who spend too much time on social media.

So much so that they think the only way out is to hide away from society.

Reminder, friends, to take frequent and extensive breaks from social media for your own mental health.

Hasn’t Twitter had the same problem for years?

I think it might be time to advocate for individual ownership of our own ‘data’

I don’t see any good reason why our data isn’t protected under law and any attempt to monetize should be done through contracts to each person who’s data is being used and payments made to those people

Back in my day, we used to call ‘prompt engineering’ ‘asking a question’.

I always held out hope that Musk was going to be the one to destroy Twitter. I’m still hoping that’s his ultimate goal.

To buy Twitter just to destroy that cesspool and Musk will always be the hero we needed
