First thing, Lemmy is in need of content and likes recruiting. Hence you got 315 replies, heh.
Basically, if you aren’t a bigot, you don’t have to worry about what you say. You can be politically incorrect in any direction and not get a global/shadowban from the Fediverse.
Each instance has its own flavor and etiquette.
They are human. There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging that, while also reiterating that they basically shouldn’t be in that state.
Also, I think it’s important to draw a line between the “rich” (well-off working professionals like researchers, doctors, small entrepreneurs), and people with more wealth than many sovereign nations put together.
Smoking a cigarette, lol.
It’s Cyberpunk 2077 + jpeg compression.
Is this supposed to be a neurodivergence meme?
…It kinda is to me.
Yeah. Corporate sponsorship for the purposes of “get us the hell out of this monopoly” is kinda how open source has worked so far.
Sometimes its fine. See: Linux
My interpretation is noise sensitivity. Especially when thinking.
None of my family will watch 3D in theatres. It makes them sick.
This is a huge factor.
For what it’s worth, I (pasty-faced white guy) like seeing this stuff.
It’s just blotted out by the big (pasty-faced white guy) communities.
I have a proposal for this, actually: community “taxonomy” so smaller subs can bubble up through bigger ones. But I need to think on it some, overcome queued executive dysfunction, and raise the suggestion on the repos.
As an American:
Please stay. Honestly I am sick of us. I want to lurk in South American or African or Southeastern or whatever discussions.
That’s weird. I tried https://old.lemmy.today/post/42532735
And even inspecting the page source (on Firefox), all I get is an embed of the ibb.co image.
You got served a lemmy.today cache image though… Are you on mobile, by chance? Or using any non default configs/extensions?
Odd, does not do that for me.
But it could be an extension or flag requesting a bandwidth optimized image.
Minor quibble, but that dress is very https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FormFittingWardrobe
I guess it’s supposed to be fantasy parody, though.
On Lemmy and Reddit? See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar-a-Lago_face
“Excessive” obvious cosmetic surgery became a status symbol, and then it got politicized.
Is that not still Chil Fil A’s advertising campaign?
What do they do now?
Just psychological failings, self-confidence issues and such I know are wrong. Firmly held, but wrong.
…Otherwise it feels like an oxymoron.
A post that long?
Eh, well, it could definitely be an unmarked bot on X. That’s good attention bait, and it has a feeling of temporal inplausibility kinda like a ‘cheapest API LLM’ story.
Where’d you see it?
There are GPT-2 bots on Reddit and Lemmy that make a lot of posts like this. And they aren’t hidden; the community is explicitly labeled.
“a lot of people around him did the same.”
Your friend is in la la land.
I know a rich couple that would love to do this and 100% can’t because it’d be ludicrously expensive, even with no kids. And that’s in a place way cheaper than New York City.
…Maybe it was more practical when his parents were working, though?
It’ll literally be a criminal hub, with a bunch of anonymized posts joking about dodging corpos. Probably.
And owls. Still owls.
FBI? No, I am not opening up.
