Don’t know about you, but preteen me wouldn’t be very impressed by an adult saying something as vague as “it can be dangerous”. We understand the danger and even then fall victim to it in some way or other, how can we expect a child to navigate that landscape of insecurities and marketing in any healthy way.
The answer is we can’t and we’re all suckers for letting predatory marketing techniques such as influencers and highly targeted ads run rampant in our daily lives.
Exactly, that’s what the little bin next to the toilet is for.
The point they’re making is that what you’re looking at in the picture isn’t NSFW. The title is deliberately misrepresenting an advert to make it seem NSFW, a classic shitposting tradition.
If you’re talking early 2000s I know exactly what dance you mean. That was a short but intense fad.
As a guy who used to be on bumble (met my partner there) I will say that any conversation that started with ‘hey how’s it going’ just went nowhere 100% of the time. It’s so easy to ask literally anything else. We don’t know each other, what’s the point in asking how it’s going if all you’ll ever get as a reply is either “good, and you?” which doesn’t break any ice and introduces a lull on the conversation 4 messages into the chat or if it’s an honest “pretty shit, actually” the tone of the conversation becomes immediately weird because you don’t know each other enough to pry into that.
Things you could ask:
This way you’ll immediately either find common ground or find differences between your everyday experiences that you can talk about.
Thanks for the link. I had it in mind that it was all over for vanced and revanced. Glad to hear it’s alive and well and even has its lemmy community!
I just don’t watch YouTube on my phone since losing YouTube vanced. What I liked about vanced was that I could be logged in. Do you have any personal recommendations for an alternative where I can still log in?
racism on the fediverse can be solved if Black people shitpost more
This indeed makes no sense. Exactly as much sense as the implication that white people posting less solves racism somehow. The article explains that that rule should be “if you’re white, post less on topics about race and if you do want to post, think about what you’re about to say”.
In conclusion: shitposting remains a free for all.
Funny how using planners was an integral part to my therapy to cope with adhd. The thing is that I had to be taught and learn through cognitive behavioural therapy how to do that and how to make sure it actually helps me instead of just being another stressor.
All that to say “just use a planner” is terrible advice but not because planners are the enemy of the adhd brained person. Just wanted to say that in case anybody reading this goes into therapy and dismisses the notion because it’s become a bit of a meme around here.
As you should. That movie deserves a bigger screen and decent sound setup. Watching it on a phone is criminal.
The fact that I could believe it right up until the moment they just drove off is telling…
You’re right there. It’s got fuck all to do with politics and everything to do with squeezing as much money out of their run on this planet. Also the reason they won’t take certain political positions but easily do so when it might lead to more profits.
I’d argue that you can’t go through a door without opening it first, even if it’s only to let one person in temporarily. Just this one time would still entail opening the relationship, if only briefly. What if Lara really enjoyed it and wants to keep doing this? What if you don’t like it and Lara does, how do you go about that?
Questions I don’t need the answers to, but you and Lara absolutely do. Up front, not after the fact! Talk it out until there’s nothing left to talk about and then revisit all of the discussed points to make sure there are zero questions unanswered for all three of you. It can get real complicated real fast if anything is left up to the imagination and someone gets hurt.
Good luck!
Well, actually, exceptions can be important to lend blanket statements some nuance. Wait, I’m doing it right now, aren’t I?
The subject is US news. The government isn’t communist and there’s no indication that it will be any time soon. If there was to be a great firewall of any kind then it’s obvious that the government is going to be the one to control it. My point was that that’s a problem.
The problem with that remains: who decides what is and isn’t allowed? The government? This idea seems great until it falls in the hands of say, a government led by Trump.
To me, an ignorant person who has only begun to seriously question capitalism after being exposed to lemmy for about a year, this visual analogy seems to imply that capitalism and fascism are thought to be distinct in the eyes of the maker of this meme, though. I think the suggestion of having them both be homelander conveys a different message which seems to be the consensus here: they are different sides of the same coin.
Admittedly, I’m out of my element here but I’m enjoying the exposure.
I lost some respect for jables here, the way he’s seemingly throwing Kage under the bus… But at the same time I can recognise that JB has always tried to keep up a positive persona. Not apolitical but he’s never been the type to promote violence directed at specific people. Kyle did him kinda dirty by doing something to potentially harm that (assuming he was truthful when he said he was blindsided by it, and not just saying that after it blew up in the news).
Not saying Kyle is wrong and Jack is right here, though. I’ve always felt a little bad for Kyle that Jack put tenacious D and therefore Kyle on the sidelines when his Hollywood career took off. Kyle was rightfully quite jaded about that and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s led him to doing this without considering the possible consequences for Jack.
The whole thing sucks for both of them, I guess.
All they’re saying is that water treatment costs money. Not that you should buy nestle stolen and bottled water…
The album this track is on is amazing as a whole. It’s like a musical journey around the world. It’s a beautifully cohesive album start to finish.
