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?
Damn. You broke my longest streak since learning about the Game.
Well, actually, exceptions can be important to lend blanket statements some nuance. Wait, I’m doing it right now, aren’t I?
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…
I’ve lived for 33 years, 12 or so if those years heavily featuring K’nex and only after reading your comment realised that K’nex is a phonetic play on “connects”.
I went through so much lip balm over the course of a year while taking isotretinoin. Miraculous how well it works though. The acne hasn’t returned since finishing the treatment a year ago.
This is the exact reason people tell you you’re wrong when you say “I don’t have anything to hide” in the face of anti-privacy laws.
If you have used your ID to access porn sites they already have you on the list. You’ve put yourself on it, even. If Project 2025 succeeds in criminalizing porn users then guess what? You’re on the list to get arrested and shipped off to prison to go be a slave productive countryman.
The piece of shit app won’t even let me look at the picture in the post. Clicking on it just brings me to the comments again, in an infinite recursive loop.
The fuck happened to the Internet as a whole?! Google images refuse to display in full screen (using Firefox at least, I’m sure it’s intentional). I’ve deleted my Facebook account and any time a friend sends me a video hosted on FB it nags me about an account and refuses to allow me to unmute the video. News articles are perpetually behind paywalls.
I’m sick of it. Everything has been hollowed out and reduced to a drip fed stream of garbage. Christ, is this the fucking future? Can’t wait for AI to make it all even worse.
Sorry, I’m aware this is a Wendy’s. The door’s right there, yeah? I’ll see myself out.
The appeal of iDubbz back in the content cop days was that it was unfiltered and gritty. I never much cared for the jackass style shock factor things he did together with filthy Frank but he was the king of burning down vapid youtube one-day-wonders like ricegum.
It has a huge “you had to be there” factor nowadays though in my opinion. I have never felt compelled to go back and rewatch anything because it just doesn’t seem to fit into this era of the internet.
Off the top of my head: right click the task and hit end process. That has literally never failed me. Back in windows XP it might sometimes not actually kill the process but then there was always the “kill process tree” button to fall back on.
So, nobody got paid to make that.
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.
