- Comment on 🎶I keep dancing on my own🎶 3 days ago:
That isn’t the part that’s supposed to be funny, though. The joke is fundamentally about the linguistic ambiguity of “would you like to dance” typically implying “with me”. It’s something most people take for granted. So like, presented in a standup format the joke would be something like:
“Have you ever noticed that if someone asks you if you’d like to dance… They’re not saying anything about dancing together? (Audience chuckles)”
You could even structure the joke in such a way that it doesn’t involve someone being a jerk, maybe you’d find that more palatable. E.g:
“So anyways, one time at the club this gorgeous lady asks me if I’d like to dance. And I’m thinking, well, sure I guess. So I went up to the floor and started… (Comedian dances ridiculously, audience laughs). And when I look back at her she looks at me like I just killed her dog or something! (Audience in shambles) and that’s when I realized… Oh! You meant like… (Comedian points back and forth between himself and audience)…together? Well why didn’t you just say so?! (Audience collectively dies from laughter)”
If you couldn’t tell I don’t really like standup, lol. But the point is that the joke isn’t about misleading someone or being a jerk. Its fundamentally a language joke.

- Comment on Badge of Honor 6 days ago:
It matters because tesseract was/is used by some large instances, so the tesseract dev was secretly censoring content from thousands of users without their knowledge and even without the knowledge of the instance admins. It’s a pretty big deal because this means that a lot of people on Lemmy have been getting a highly censored view of the community without realizing it. A lot of those people, probably even most of them, came to Lemmy specifically to get away from that kind of thing. So its really shady, a huge breach of trust, and this single dev has been covertly influencing thousands of people’s political exposure.
- Comment on absolutely everything is meaningless so just do what you want 4 weeks ago:
Meaning in that sense is an ill-defined term which on careful inspection has no sensical quality. Saying life is or isn’t meaningful is like saying “life is/isn’t blwodjtnfyhc”

The fact that this story is true is really going to do so much harm to political discourse and I hate it
- Comment on and what?! 5 weeks ago:
I think it pretty accurately hits the vibe of government secret projects in that it simultaneously sounds harmless and a little silly, while also being vague and unusual enough to have a certain foreboding to it. E.g “the gadget”
- Comment on Team Snapchat still shows up in my notifications even though I have them blocked 5 weeks ago:
Definitely an annoying situation, I guess maybe you could try posting about the problems that you see with Snapchat, like with articles and whatnot, whenever you have a chance, and maybe just trying to get them to change their stance on it. For me personally, leaving Snapchat was a privacy and ethics choice - and anyone who wouldn’t respect that, good riddance. I only really have two friends myself. I enjoy it usually. I get to spend lots more time with them, and an exchange have a deeper connection. Its not for everyone though.
- Comment on Team Snapchat still shows up in my notifications even though I have them blocked 5 weeks ago:
Maybe you could keep talking them on Snapchat, but also on the other platform too. Are they really just completely unwilling to get on something like signal? you don’t even need to make an account really
- Comment on Team Snapchat still shows up in my notifications even though I have them blocked 5 weeks ago:
I was in the same situation as you. Just message them elsewhere and delete it. Everyone who wasn’t willing to message me on a better platform turned out to not be that worth interacting with. All the real ones did what they could to keep talking to me without hesitation and respected my reasoning

Yeah this and the other rebuttals people posted are all good points. I was exaggerating too much

By making products less artistic and more designed-by-committee, they were able to make products that are just barely purchase-worthy to hundreds of millions of players, rather than products that merely millions truly love. It doesn’t surprise me, this is exactly what Hollywood figured out long ago. Games industry sure is maturing alright…

Yeah, I think it could definitely be done, but unfortunately it would be completely not worth the time since you wouldn’t have any degree.

I guess, but nothing about this really pertains to gendered strength or weaknesses. At least not in reality.

Yup caddy is what I use and I personally found it at least 3 times easier than nginx for my admittedly humble purposes.

Maybe I’m not understanding something, but isn’t this only an issue regarding setting up certs on your server? Https isn’t working because you have no SSL certs installed. Unless that was supposed to happen automatically with one of those other tools?

- Comment on Hungry 3 months ago:
Bro but its crazy to just pick the animal you specifically have a connection to. What if I had grown up watching that heron? What if I have twice as many kids as you and they all love the heron? Does that tip the scale so that now we should be angry at the fish for trying to kill my heron by starvation? Little fish bastards, why can’t they just my heron be?
Of course the real truth is that nature is at odds with itself and there’s no way around that. If you can say “yeah I just like the fish cos that’s what I like, I don’t care that it doesn’t make sense”, then that’s respectable enough. You’re just out for your own well-being, just like the fish and the heron both. But getting so heated at the heron for trying to be alive, which is also what your fish try to do, and then extending your hatred to all heronkind is just hilarious
