If anything it feels like the purest form of meme for something to be quoted repeatedly like that lol

Do not rip a toenail’s arms off. Only a paid professional toenail armripper should perform the procedure.

Can’t give up that sweet, sweet control over information access.
- Comment on Jokes on you, I don't want to work 2 weeks ago:
What you’re describing is pretty understandable. But I’ve also been in multi-round interviews where I’m talking to different people but saying the exact same things, which is frustrating.
- Comment on Jokes on you, I don't want to work 2 weeks ago:
The ghosting is unfortunate but not new to me, precisely. I should have clarified: when did MULTIPLE interviews start becoming the norm?

Ghosted an applicant I had miss work for three interviews award
Ah there it is.
When the fuck did this start becoming the norm, anyway?
- Comment on Stunning new data reveals 140% layoff spike in July, with almost half connected to AI and 'technological updates' 2 weeks ago:
Supposedly, it’s due to AI chatbots replacing the need for as much staff, but I agree with @queermunist@lemmy.ml that the real cause is something else and AI is a smokescreen. Unfortunately, I don’t have any really good answers as to what, so take my comment with a grain of salt.
- Comment on I don't care if you read them, just mark them as read 2 weeks ago:
More like “Damn bitch, you live like this?” I get not everyone’s brain is wired the same, but being restricted to my own I just can’t imagine being okay with that lol

even if end-to-end encryption is in place
More than one person has called it on the assumption that E2E encryption is next on the chopping block.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Games is working on another live-service game, despite Suicide Squad flop 3 weeks ago:
You mean “Warner Bros. Games is working on another tax write off.”
- Comment on Petition to tell MasterCard, Visa, and activist groups to stop censoring legal fictional content 4 weeks ago:
I do kind of wonder how you go about pushing against a company that has virtually no customer support. Just an AI chatbot or something. No numbers, no emails. It’s not common, but I’ve seen it, and I expect we’ll see more of it increasingly. I suppose at that point you could try to locate their address and mail them a letter?
- Comment on "Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport." 4 weeks ago:
And this is why I don’t fly anymore. It was never an enjoyable experience (except takeoff. Wee!!)
Now I find myself having a depressed opinion on the lack of train options.

Yep, the Kagi Assistant. I think you can turn it off but like DDG it’s on by default.
- Comment on Anti-porn group who tried to ban GTA 5 claim credit for Steam's sex game crackdown 4 weeks ago:
After looking up the person behind Collective Shout and seeing she was Australian didn’t exactly come as a shock to me. They have some bizarrely uptight censorship where video games are concerned.

Opinion: I think curiosity about sex/pleasure starts a lot younger age than I feel most people are comfortable acknowledging/talking about openly.
- Comment on Living a lie 2 months ago:
Always wondered why some of the CSRs at the call center would get chewed out more than others despite being polite and respectful and I think you just made me understand that it was because they sounded false. They had a very obvious “customer service” voice. The ones who didn’t tended to just sound like normal folk having a good day. (That’s the secret sauce, they usually weren’t having a good day, but they sounded like they were in on some joke with you, that joke being ‘ahh talking to people, am I right?’)
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 2 months ago:
It wasn’t what introduced me to linux entirely, but it is absolutely what made me realize that Linux COULD be user friendly, so I definitely give credit to Valve for that. I am now gearing up to make the switch in the near future on my desktop.

- Comment on Surely the moderators, admins, investors and bots would never interfere in any way 3 months ago:
I don’t think so. A smaller pool does mean smaller odds that someone will take what you are offering and do anything with it, but it’s still possible to affect change, especially if you are asking people to affect things actually within their control.
But, with that said, your impact will likely be stronger if you communicate with the people near you locally instead of online, since you and those (physically) around you are affected by the same localized forces.
The internet is a good place to collaborate on ideas and methodologies; your local community is a good place to try to implement those things.
