I’m a mail carrier in Canada delivering to a lot of farmers and some businesses. A large percentage of the mail I deliver are cheques. And many of those have windows that are just a little too large and show the amounts. Generally they are under $1000, but some are in the 10s of thousands. You wouldn’t believe the amount of money I personally move around.
I saw CTV News and thought this was London, Ontario without doubting the headline for even a second…
Could you also please tell the writers not to create 2 characters that are so overpowered that they threaten to destroy the world every time they turn around? Not everyone needs to be a supercharged Rogue…
Scrubs.
I understand that they were trying to create a spinoff. But to continue with the same name and then teasing us with the previous main characters just destroyed what was the perfect series ending.
Deflect, ignore, accuse, gaslight.
This is why no one likes you. I offered you specifics. You ignored all of it in favour of your delusion. You’re not on that forum anymore. We’re not those people. And everyone here is telling you the same thing. This is not healthy. You need professional help. Get off the internet. Talk to your doctor. You’re the only one that can help yourself…
Ok dude, you want specifics, here’s some cold hard specifics for you.
The fact that you refer to yourself as “involuntarily celebate” is one of the reasons that you’re “involuntarily celebate”. There’s really no such thing, since you do it to yourself. You’re not involuntarily celebate, you’re just an asshole no one wants to sleep with. You’re owed nothing from any woman. But if you shower, use deodorants, and act like a normal nice person that doesn’t see women as as different from any other person on the planet, one of them might sleep with you one day. But it’ll never happen as long as you follow the self-fulfilling prophecy of believing you’re involuntarily celebate.
That delusion has left you susceptible to believing that random trolls on an Internet forum filled with assholes with personalities known to turn women off are federal agents simply because they said so without any further proof. Real federal agents wouldn’t actually tell you they are federal agents. No one is investigating you. No one is following you. You’re just not that interesting. That’s just the sad truth. Anything more is just a non-existent delusion.
Get off the internet, go outside, forget about the entire concept of involuntarily celebate. Stay away from people who refer to themselves as involuntarily celebate. You’ll be much better off.
I think you misread the title…
It’s ok to be a freak. It’s not ok to be an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. We like the weirdos for the colourfulness they bring to our lives. No one likes an asshole.
Keep Lemmy weird. Don’t be an asshole. Live by these rules and this place will always be great.
Whichever way allows your fingers to rest on the buttons. Unless it’s a weird buttonless Apple mouse, then you’re just SOL.
Slashdot is actually a fairly active community that was never aspiring to be the “front page of the internet”. As far as I can tell, it’s about as popular as it ever was. And Fark isn’t much different…slighlty less users than in the past, but they have some active content creators.
The comparison you’re looking for is Digg. That was the previous “front page of the internet” before they committed suicide and handed the title to Reddit. Now they are a news aggregate site where almost all content is created by bots. This is the path Reddit is travelling down. Completely curated, AI generated, with bots commenting to create the illusion of engagement. It’s almost there now. The amount of reposted content and copied comments has increased substantially over the last few years. And with the availability of LLMs now, it will only get worse.
Wait until the IPO, if it ever happens. The site will transform into a news aggregator ran by bots. No one will care about it anymore once Spez cashes out, or if he can’t then the entire thing will implode dramatically. Just like Digg.
My cat loves playing with the pull tabs off of milk cartons. Some cats are just weird.
I was once accused of hacking at a former job. I used File Explorer to log into a remote system and look at files of a program we were troubleshooting, while they were logged into the desktop remotely. In those days, Windows only allowed 1 connection (plus console, but that’s another story), so when I started describing the file structure, they got all quiet. Then they asked how I could see that, which I explained I just used File Explorer. They didn’t know how I could use Explorer (they didn’t know the difference between File and Internet Explorer) to access the server, so obviously I must be hacking. I explained how I was just looking at the files, and if that’s really relevent as the software was currently broken and we were trying to fix it for them. They insisted that I stop hacking their servers. So I had to spend the rest of the session asking them to describe the file structure over the phone so I could troubleshoot their software.
You’d think this was at some podunk little company…but no, this was a multi-billion dollar oil company in Texas. Never overestimate the abilities of someone just because they work for a large company.
Well why were you being so mean? She just wanted her daddy…
The only question is…Idaho or PEI?
I think this is the saddest part, at least for him. Before Twitter, a lot of people thought he was relatively intelligent to be a part of a groundbreaking electric car company, a crazy tunnel digging company, and wild space vehicle company doing innovative things. Now since Twitter, we see an insanely rich narcissistic meglomaniac that was kept out of most Tesla big decisions as he just wanted the publicity for himself, the tunnel digging company was nothing more than a way to interfere with green projects, SpaceX did the same thing as Tesla and succeeded despite Musk’s involvement, and a once respected medium of open communication worth a reported $44 billion dollars devolve into a cess pool of bigotry and arbitrary restrictions. Whatever good will he built for himself over the years that saw him even get a cameo in a Marvel movie next to Tony Stark, he’s burned through most of it in the eyes of a lot of people.
You’re forgetting New Coke, which actually wasn’t that bad and I kinda miss it.
