Anything that has an intransparent, engagement driving, ad laden algorithm that determines what you do and don’t see is thoroughly unappealing to me. At least now that I’m a little more tech savvy and anti-corporate.

Hear hear. Under the guise of Engagement, corporations have weaponized algorithms to maximize the time you spend on their platforms, and it’s absolutely been a race to the bottom, prioritizing Outrage above all else. Hard pass, thanks.

Corporate goals don’t align with that of users like they used to.

Haven’t been to Reddit since the API changes last summer. I’m trying my best to be a good Lemmite but I don’t post enough OC, so that’s my bad

I would love to hear more about this. Those books are SO long

Pffft

Just go barefoot everywhere

Shoes. Indoors, in your own house, on your furniture?!

I believe that it exists as a concept. That’s what you’re asking, right?

Depends on the brand. If it was secretly manufactured by any particular nation’s secret military service, then Maybe.

Thanks! I was intending for it to be more of a shitpost, but I guess I’m not very good at those, it turns out

Lol whoops, I meant to give a wrong answer, my bad

1. Pick some friends that you like
2. Download “I Am Never Going To Give You Up” by Rick Roll
3. Put the song on the disk in very low quality .mp3
4. Give the disks away as “fun, retro” drink coasters
5. Watch as they use the coasters, unaware that you Rick Rollered them

My car is brown.

The first time I brought it home without telling my wife the color, she was unimpressed and said that it was “shart colored”.

We immediately named it “El Sharto”, and 5 years later the name has stuck

Mayo-fries on a pineapple pizza, is this the definition of Gourmet?

I’m in tech and have been lucky enough to work in a few departments with some laid back, chill people who don’t have egos and just want to do their work and go home.

A lunch a little while back featured 8 of us sitting around the table, and I realized that among us were two Muslims, a Hindu, two Protestants, a Catholic, and two Atheists; and we all got along famously, bonding over our mutual hatred and distrust of upper management.

I know that this isn’t a universal experience, but it’s nice to know that it’s possible. :)

I just like it, that’s all.

You have contributed nothing of value to this community, and need to rethink your entire approach.

First thing, try and breathe to see if the unknown new world has an atmosphere compatible with the one I’m accustomed to. If not, I guess I’m dead.

Second thing, determine if I’m in a wasteland / nature setting, or a civilized one.

Third, regardless of the answer to the second, take stock of my current resources and seek new ones. Water is highest priority, food second, shelter third.

My mother in law’s stories. She keeps repeating these stories over and over but we’ve all heard them a dozen times before and then when we say, “oh, we’ve heard this one” she takes it as encouragement to keep going
