I don't get DMs because no one recognizes me.

I literally walked into a bar with 14-15 men and women from my graduating class. I recognized and named each one. Not a single one of them recognized me.

I can blend in with a fed, doctor, magat, retail employee, door sales man.

For a long time the invisibility was painful.

But recently I realize, it can have a lot of power too.

skill issue, just be so weird that you make friends with the other weird guys

side effects may include: finding out why they are ostracized

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 11 points 3 weeks ago

So pyramid schemes on both sides?

I got an invitation for a wedding.

Everyone will get a gift basket that makes them have to buy crypto coins for a pyramid scheme that invests in cryptocurrency!

[-] edinbruh@feddit.it 4 points 3 weeks ago

I was weird and still got the pyramid scheme DM. What about it?

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago

Their desperation level was higher than your weirdness level.

Please file a complaint with your universe representative.
(There is a line.)

Why does it say cryptocurrency instead of pyramid scheme for the second caption?

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

Me who isn't even active in popular socmed so no one DMed me

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I was in the same unit as some guys from my high school during my time as a conscript in the German army. Since then I've literally only ever met one of them briefly, thirty years ago. Apart from that I've had zero contact with anyone I've gone to school with.

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Truly. WTF. 🤣 I recently checked my cobwebbed FB and saw a random message from someone I barely remember from school, inviting me to a reunion. I guess it could've been worse, but... bitch, what are you smoking? 🤦🏼‍♂️

[-] SpaceShort@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

Me but I also refused to use Facebook so no-one could DM me even if they wanted to.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I quit Facebook and changed my name. The only messages from people I knew in high school are old friends texting to catch up from time to time. It's nice

[-] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I deleted my Facebook 15 years ago. It’s on my list of top 10 best decisions I ever made.

[-] BubblyRomeo@kbin.earth 0 points 3 weeks ago

changed my name

In real life or just in socials? If in real life, damn that's some dedication!

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's not why I changed my name, but it was a nice perk

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Hi there, little weirdo. Welcome. Take a seat. You belong.

This is so sad. Even weirdos deserve to farm those sweet, sweet, totally legitimate 1,900% yields

[-] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Me who didn't get into a group chat... 👀

Btw if you don't have a phone in school, you basically don't have friends. This is what society is like these days.

I solved this problem for life by going to my 10 year reunion (a mostly Mormon town). I only went because I happened to be on a motorcycle trip in the region with a girlfriend, a certified Freaky-Chick™️.

I had my own bike, but chose to ride on the back of hers to add extra confusion.

Just to be sure I was not included any more, I loudly proposed we wait at least 25 years for another when the choices presented were 5 or 10 years for the next one.

I did something similar, was deep in the gothic scene at the time, put on my best makeup and goth bling, came with my equally goth gf, and behaved pretty out of it. My school time was hell, so it was fair retribution.

Are Becky and Kyle the new Karen and Chad?

[-] odelik@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

Becky's were before Karen.

"Oh my god, Becky, look at her butt!"

Thanks Sir Mix-a-Lot.

[-] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Becky is Karen's friend who thinks she is cool because she's nice and doesn't yell at customer service workers but is actually a wet fart of a person and is just kinda boring. Kyle is... Well kyle is kyle. Everyone knows a kyle, maybe your kyle was called kevin (but I assure you he was still a kyle). Kyle is the guy who has it all figured out, if only "it all" was this years pyramid scam. Kyle is a nice guy! He wants to help you, really! He remembers that one time in high school when he tripped and you walked around him instead of stepping on his papers and he really appreciated that small kindness (like didn't get much love at home).

These are different from Karen and Chad. Chad is the Quarterback Soccer Captain of the Basketball team. He's got more meat on his jaw than a butcher has on display. He got married to Karen, they dated all through high school so nobody was really surprised, but what IS surprising is that the sports scholarship that Chad got a full ride to Good University with got taken away after his 3rd on campus rape, something that surely would've flown under the radar if he just managed to throw that last game winning pass. Karen, for reasons known only to her and her gods, always forgives Chad for his misgivings and misdeeds.

Arya is hardly the most weird character in GOT... Probably the most based character in the series.

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

The hound also doesn't get DM's about cryptocurrency

[-] cymor@midwest.social 0 points 3 weeks ago

Am I the only one that read DM as Dungeon Master? I thought it was cool that they each discovered the joys of DnD after graduating.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

So you uh, aren't getting these DMs I'm guessing?
