Yeah, but at the end of the day we either want Lemmy to grow, or we don’t. And if we make it difficult or awkward for people to use Lemmy, then we’re shooting ourselves in the foot if our goal is to grow Lemmy’s user base.

Always line something else up first. If possible, also have enough money to last 3-6 months without a job - makes things a hell of a lot less stressful. We would essentially just bank any bonuses throughout the year, and it would afford us a nice nest egg in case something ever happened. However it needs to remain untouched.

Yeah. It’s photoshopped. Good catch mate.

It most certainly should not.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand that’s exactly why the opening scene of Juon: Black Ghost/White Ghost made me scream like a child. The dread that rises up when something doesn’t feel right. There’s no build up to a scare…it just slams into you full force. Only movie I ever screamed while watching. Only happened once…but good God. We had to pause the movie and laugh for about 10 minutes as both me and my sibling both screamed.

I used it to write a kickass counteroffer for an internal job promotion. I was pissed off with the offer and wrote out what I REALLY thought. I asked GPT to clean it up and respond with and upbeat and positive response where I’m eager to work with them.

ChatGPT about to help me get an $18k raise.

I finish with the D too!

Holy shit… This would be amazing.

Hey! It’s me! The CIA!

Roosters don’t crow, they cock-a-doodle-doo. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

… Always has been.

No, but thank you though.

Yeah, sorta.

• 311 is a shit show. You have to pretty much get involved with your local government officials to get literally anything done, otherwise you can just live with your pothole.
• City officials have had a hard on for a minor league baseball stadium for fucking YEARS. They asked Richmond citizens for their vote on it, and every single time people said fuck no. It’s $110 million that could have been used to repair crumbling infrastructure, provide support programs, add additional affordable housing, repair our busted streets…noooo, why do that when we can go to a fucking minor league baseball game. Good idea Stoney. It’s getting built by 2026. That’ll for sure bring in money Stoney. Wonder what sort of kick back he’s getting as he’s only been pushing it for like 5 years.
• City officials also hard a hard on for a casino to bring in additional “needed money” that they planned to throw in absolutely terrible locations. No one wanted it. I think we had to vote it down like half a dozen times. Petersburg, a crumbling ruin struggling town is now voting to add it. Just what it needs.
• Look up the history of Jackson Ward.
• Shcokoe Bottome still has buildings were destroyed in the flood back 30 years ago that have yet to be revitalized (but a fucking stadium is fine, right?)

Thats just off the top of my head. Love it here though. Just…lots of annoyances.

My dude, you can always start. I guarantee there’s a group out there for you.

You fix it pretty easily by just getting the lenses entirely replaced. If you have vision insurance, you can do it entirely for free

Weird can be good…sometimes, depending on the context.

Yeah, I’m not changing my entire client that I’ve gotten used to just to deal with a single bot that annoys me.

Just realized the lemmy.ml is entirely leftist. ML apparent stands for Marxist-Lenonist.

Time to block a second entire instance. fml.

I get what you’re saying, it’s capitalism vs socialism, not Democracy vs socialism, however my issue is that they don’t even like our Democracy. I got banned for even supporting it.

They were slamming how terrible our liberal politicians were, so I made a few comments about it and I got banned for defending them. It’s frustrating…but whatever…

Leftist admins when you say anything remotely supportive of Democracy instead of circlejerking the leftist next to you.
