Yes, exactly! This was one of those! Like the 2 guys that didn’t show up and I asked about them, I was referencing a previous dream I had with these people that consciously I barely remember but dream-me remembers full well this whole world.
I agree with that! Usually my dreams consist of me being in situations with real people I know of they are realistic at all. It was just so weird to be thrown into someone else’s life that wasn’t mine for what felt like an entire day.
I usually take stuff to sleep and can’t remember my dreams. This is one of the first time I have naturally fell asleep and stayed asleep in well over a month!
Oh yeah I totally get it! The only reason I’m in the “know” is because I work in IT. I used to love computers growing up but uh… Now that I do it for a career, I don’t have much interest in computers as a hobby. I used to lie at work in entry level positions saying stupid shit like “computers are my life!” Because I thought that’s what I needed to do to “fit in”. But, these days I’m just honest. When I get off work I don’t fire up my gaming pc (don’t even have one), I fire up my grill!
Glad you like it here! I’m pretty new myself. My only issue is there’s not much traffic sometimes but what makes it so “real” is how empty it feels sometimes. You know people read your comments instead of getting buried in thousands of bot comments.
Yeah agreed. But if you’re in a 3rd world country or some broke teenager that money goes farther. Bot farms buy “legit” accounts then influencers pay them for likes and interactions on social media platforms fooling The algorithm into thinking the content is popular then putting the bought content into real human’s social media feeds. I have watched YT videos on how the stuff operates in the past. It just goes to prove that the internet is fake af. Going viral can be bought. Algorithms can be manipulated. It’s all bullshit.
Lemmy seems pretty legit so far though! I’m pretty new here but it seems like a small corner of the internet that’s not yet taken over by 90% bots!
…yet…
I checked my first one (that was banned later) once out of curiosity. 8ish years over 100k karma and it was like $20? You’d have to really grind to make any money like having a bot farm or something. Granted I never actually checked my account specifically, just similar accounts with similar age and karma.
This was years ago that I looked. I wouldn’t be surprised if the number has gone down since then.
Venture Bro’s? Never had happened and most likely never will unless I’m at some sort of expo for nerds like myself.
I struggle with this especially when I’m talking to someone that has had much less life experience than me in certain situations! It’s hard to not sound like a one-upper when you have experienced a lot more than the person you’re speaking with. I find it better to just stfu and be vague about how you relate to their experiences and let others have their spotlight.
Don’t forget the ping-pong table in that background that people get mad if you use…
Nah, they read it. Just want to cut in line because they feel more important that everyone else. It’s pretty obvious when somebody pulls that shit on purpose. Then others you can tell they are oblivious. I usually let them in either way because I try to not get annoyed by the little things in life but sometimes it’s hard to not get annoyed…
Yeah I think the concept is people with that much money always want more. Either they are people that made their millions and want to make more said millions or they inherited that money and they are trying to bring more in for their family. Either way, character is the most important thing. Take AOC for instance. She’s got a net worth of something like $80k. Takes no kickbacks, doesn’t own stock, only accepts donations from people instead of super PACs. Her financial practices SHOULD be the norm as a public servant! Unfortunately that’s not the case
Jared Polis is a prime example of why people need to stop electing rich people. His true colors really started to show after he was elected for his final term.
Here comes another UFO release! I bet tomorrow.
Sounds wonderful! My go to us Pad See Ew when I’m eating Thai. I learned how to make it when all of my Thai restaurants closed down during the pandemic and I got pretty good at it! I’m now sort of a snob about the dish knowing when it’s not made correctly…
Hot Thai Kitchen in YT has a wealth of knowledge that she provides to make authentic Thai food and as a bonus she’s gorgeous!
TMI - internal hemorrhoids my guy. It does for me
To be fair, I’d be more interested in the dog than another boring baby.
As a Millennial, I thought this was my generation… Then shit just kept getting worse and worse… Fun times.
With neither primary political party to stop it. We are cooked
Totally get it, never been to Japan but as a proud bidet owner, I hate shitting without one. It just makes me feel dirty if I don’t use one.
Spicy food is worth the pain and suffering that it causes for sure! My bowels absolutely hate hot sauce no matter what I do! The cheaper the spice (think dehydrated red peppers), the worst the experience. That being said, I still put globs of my favorite habanero sauce on my food twice a week at minimum then dealing with the consequences the next morning! Buying a bidet really enabled me to shrug off my horrible dietary decisions even more than I already did, it’s an absolute lifesaver!
Yep! This is what Israel understands but pretends not to. I have no issues with Jewish people but I have plenty of issues with Israel.
They have lost the narrative so badly that even the Jews are openly speaking out against them.
