I'm the guy but instead of a pyramid scheme I'm just trying to get all of my friends to install Linux and switch to fediverse social platforms

Have had her experience a couple times. It's always kind of sad.

[-] nonfuinoncuro@lemmy.zip 3 points 17 hours ago

Yeah I don't really feel anger or annoyance just sadness empathy and pity

I had a family member that was part of a pyramid scheme in the 90's. On the drive home my parents explained us what a pyramid scheme is, why it's bad and what not. It was always kind of the back of my mind. Then the internet came around and i thought for myself: wow, pyramid schemes are a thing of the past now, because you can just look shit up on the internet. How wrong i was.

on the other side, it becomes easier to say fuck off with age

Can confirm, I'm happy to burn bridges I forgot existed.

I've had 3 friends from HS hit me up (I'm in my 40s now) asking if I want to go to their pampered chef or Amway gatherings.

Hell. No.

Thinking about that time I posted online that it was my last day of college classes so I could only get dumber from there on out, and someone I hadn’t talked to since high school wrote a reply in agreement and my response to them was “It’s like what Smash Mouth said: ‘Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb’”

Hey, someone I haven't spoken to in years is messaging me...oh

[-] atlien51@lemm.ee 1 points 39 minutes ago

I thought maybe they remembered they care about-

Oh.

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 11 points 1 day ago

It's not a pyramid, it's an inverted Delta. And that puts you right at the top.

Trumpism is the pyramid scheme in my friend's case

[-] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 3 points 17 hours ago

He is your friend no more.

[-] arin@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Ah yes ex friend forgot to mention

Only ever had one of these, but I wasn't popular in school, and the vibe of person I have hung out since then are too anticapitalist for the most part.

I play a game of "how long until they try to sell me shit" when one of them messages me. Its funny because they get better at tip toeing around all of it for weeks then they stop talking to me completely.

Recently looked up an old friend from my school days. He's all over FB singing about his love of meth and online poker.

I decided to not reconnect after all.

[-] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 1 points 23 hours ago

That would be a perfect cover story if he's like a super spy, or something.

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It's either that or investment/disability insurance

[-] BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social 2 points 23 hours ago

The business...

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

What is he actually holding?

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

Good eye, it's actually a cube.

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 4 points 20 hours ago

FTFY

side note, does anyone know some actually decent software for mobile with this functionality? I ended up making that image faster in google slides than finding a software with the super advanced functionality of pasting an image on another. everything i found was A) some photo editor with no such functionality B) some AI shit or most often C)both

[-] axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 1 points 6 minutes ago
