Target is both to hit your sense of justice (I’m a male feminist) but also engage the innate urge to see the photos. Example

Anne Hathaway criticized by chauvinists for being too sexy on the red carpet

Oh wow, I hate sexism so much I better check out these photos!! so I can…support women?

It CAN work for men but is usually not demeaning. Chris Pratt went from adorable pudge to sexy muscleman, click here to see him shirtless! Not the same I guess.

Agree. I hate having to click through 4 modes just to turn it off. On, dim, on and off slow, strobe…off. No!

Going back a few years I loved 90s Mariah Carey and Jewel. Fiona Apple’s debut album was instrumental in my life. Nowadays, I am not a super fan or anything but I enjoy and have very high opinions of T Swift, Gaga, Beyoncé and many other.

My daughter recently introduced me to Chappell Roan and damn she’s amazing.

Difficulty setting. I play on easy mode and DGAF what anyone thinks because my time is precious and I’m playing for fun. I decide what’s fun.

Creative/cheat mode…let me just pause, build myself a fantastic 10 story house… Open inventory and spawn a wife, 3 kids, a dog and 2 billion dollars in my pocket. Oh no, does that mean I can’t get achievements because I cheated? Oh well.

Steal a car, lose the cops and it’s mine now. No consequences.

Important story moments of your life play as cutscenes which you have no control over…so you can’t mess it up and know you’re exactly where you should be. This would be peaceful.

Hints & tutorials.

Play as a different character.

Choose your appearance instantly -gender, body shape, skin/eye/hair color, size of nose/ears/eyebrows, clothes, accessories

Things you buy spawn instantly wherever you are

Change tattoos instantly, including removing

Closed captioning for all dialogue and other sounds

Increase skills simply by grinding, even for things like skateboarding, singing, playing music, acrobatics etc that require raw talent and YEARS of training/practice

1. Bought a timeshare in Vegas. Never used it. Paid the mortgage and maintenance fees for a few years then said fuckem and just stopped. Such a scam. They went out of business during the 2008 recession and it eventually fell off of our credit reports.

2. Sold cutco knives in college (MLM). Perfectly fine product but overpriced and they basically get you pester all of your family and friends. I paid for the sample products myself. Made the biggest sale to my parents. Mostly just embarrassing.

3. I bought speakers out a van like some other commenters. Probably paid too much, they sounded good and I used them for at least 10 years.

Get some Chinese investors and a couple affiliate links…what could go wrong

Brilliant

It’s great that you want to create more communities but making one and then only putting up one post isn’t going to get it done…

Love ya

🤨

Jesus Christ… 😂

Why the fuck did this make me laugh…now I need to downvote myself

A bidet helps. Gentle splash of water vs scratchy paper.

Sounds like they are saying (later this month) you can create your own Bluesky instance…but will they ever federate outside that?

In what country or continent?

Meditation might help. Search for a good “radical acceptance” guided meditation audio or read a blog about it and just close your eyes and think on it.

I don’t know that I agree with this take…plenty of them are bullied, feel like outcasts, suffer from mental illness, and I think often have some latent sociopathy (lack of remorse) and this all combines to them feeling like they want “revenge” on society. I’m thinking about the columbine shooters from when I was a kid but many fit that profile.

So others feeling this way might feel gratified that these other shooters got revenge, the people picking on them got what they deserved…etc.

I think it’s also a different reaction to feeling suicidal. Instead of wanting to hurt yourself…you want to hurt “the world” but for the same reasons

Same. With closed registrations and no federation with LW I feel like beehaw doesn’t want me so I put it out of my mind.

I laughed, then cried

My daughter requested meatballs for tonight. My wife makes them from scratch. Probably with potatoes and gravy poured on both meat and potatoes. Tomorrow (Christmas day) wife and mother slow cook a big beef roast.

LOVE THIS THREAD! It feels so cozy and home-y up in here with the Lemmy family!

Aw yes. Is it cold where you are? French onion soup is the best in chilly weather.
