  • Curved lenses, men. We look bad in our dating profile photos because when we take pictures of ourselves we're closer to the lense and the curve distorts our faces. Not enough to be obvious, but enough to look uglier than if a friend takes your photo

  • How about I do your job interviews for you? then we like, hit em with "The Prince and the Pauper"

    Fuck, maybe that should be my life calling

  • Actually I'm just not good at things. Not even being malicious

  • I get a lot of jobs that I interview for because I'm a solid 5/10. Then they get to know me and it makes them think I lied to them about my qualifications but no, they just equated average-to-medium looks with competence and neurotypicality

  • educational entertainment. I have an ever growing library of lectures and essays that I keep stashed for when I need to lock in on a 12 hr task where I'm likely to get overstimulated. sprinkle in a stand up comedy special here or there just to keep me awake.

  • I didn't know that. I think on reddit that would have creeped me out but I might not end up minding as much here.

  • I remember a small amount of hype for this game when the Armored Core community was going hollow, waiting for Fires of Rubicon to be announced.

    Weird game, I wonder if it's gotten any better since then

  • woah, turns out the stripping of rights from the mentally ill is a tool that fascists have used in the past and will use again to target all kinds of people.

    who could have saw that coming?

  • it's valid in its intent, having my run in with the people you're describing sucked. I just saw karma checks taken to some pretty ugly places on reddit before I ghosted out of there. In my encounters with genocide deniers here, the problematic aspect I saw was a mod team interfering with the comments and deleting responses. r/conservative on reddit does the same thing to keep their userbase trimmed down to only the most vocal and loyal christofascists.

    I kind of want to be on a website where people with admin priveledges are being held at least a little more accountable than regular users. but that's probably just my damage talking. I can pretty assuredly say that actually real botting on fediverse is pretty inadequate since every user has to be manually approved and write a cover letter for many instances. the hoards of genocide deniers you see are probably actual living CCP citizens engaging in a documented cultural passtime

  • oh hell yeah, thanks 👍

  • ohh, I can't see their instance on voyager unless I click on their profile. curious, this is the second policy I've seen piefed borrow from post-2023 reddit. is that kind of their goal?

  • oh god, lemmy.world does karma checks? Jesus wft

  • oh. yeah, problematic but it's at least easy for end users

  • you're right it was my VPN. god, this is pretty bawler though. maybe I'M a tardigrade

  • really? I'm pretty ignorant, why would they? were they promised extended support that they didn't get?

  • it's actually amazing. okay well it's a pity win, but it's good

    also widows 10 IoT is still getting updates for another decade if anyone gives a shit

  • New Order and Depeche Mode were pivotal in my development

  • track is unavailable :(

  • Programmer Humor @programming.dev

    only thing that makes this dumpster fire usable

  • Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    German court overturns previous ruling that ad blocking isn't piracy
