So it’s either be uninformed or miserable.

We all know damned well you sang the first line in your head though.

As someone that normally prefers to eat alone; maybe this isn’t the worst thing. I’d welcome a little unexpected company once in a while.

That said, expecting it to turn into something romantic is extreme wishful thinking. Also, I’m not a woman so the experience is probably a bit different.

Just search “define [word]” on duckduckgo. Works for like 95% of things I’m looking for.

Apr 7, 2006. Does that make me cool?

It’s literally not. This is like that stupid thing people say about how if you nod up to someone, you expose your neck and don’t see them as a threat.

It’s complete nonsense with no real evidence to support it. But people keep spreading it because it seems intuitive.

It’s $10 to not have to go somewhere. Cost of the candy bar is kind of irrelevant.

That thing must be huge!

Those giant ribs from the Flintstones that curl into a big C.

It’s access to electricity and cost of land. People want to live near oceans, so it’s usually more expensive. If you can get dirt price land in Wyoming that has a power plant near it with capacity, you have most of what you need.

While arriving for the competition, all 8 billion got wedged into the doors of the arena Three Stooges style and were unable to compete.

@ramble81@lemmy.zip make it so

Hate to say it, but that technical literacy from having to operate computers the difficult way was a small blip in history. So things are just kind of going back to “normal.”

Now, the only real natural entry into “computing” is gaming. Pretty much everything else has to come through formal education, which is largely myopic and boring.

Don’t think I’ve even worked with a gen Z engineer yet. I assume they exist.

I get what you’re saying, but as you kind of mentioned, it’s a falsehood to believe any of your posts and comments here are under your control anyway. They get federated to other instances, maybe mirrored or crawled by bots. And these may or may not abide by your deletion of the content.

Might be best to just expose/enforce this reality to users. You send data publicly onto the Internet, it’s forever out of your control. And there’s no system in existence that can change that reality.

Also why it’s important that a doxxed Internet never becomes reality.

Kind of wish deleting posts wasn’t a thing. Would rather just the user-association was removed or something. Just because OP doesn’t want to be involved in the thread anymore, doesn’t mean everyone else feels the same.

They probably would if I asked. I wouldn’t ask.

No shot I’m repeating that here.

Have your friends take “candid” photos of you doing stuff. They’re not actually candid, they’re fully thought out and planned.

In all seriousness, I don’t think I could ever do that.

Probably more accurate to say “in wine, no filter.” People are more likely to say what’s on their mind. But what’s on their mind could be complete nonsense.

I’ve said a lot of dumb shit drunk.
