I’m a cis male and I have so little interest in my looks that the only looks related thing that I even think about, is my weight, mainly because I don’t want to be unhealthy. If I’m “overweight” or “obese” and healthy, I couldn’t give a fuck about being whatever weight I am. I just know that being overweight is frequently a sign of being unhealthy, or can cause health complications like T2 diabetes.
I typically wear black 90% of the time or more, because I don’t have to think about matching colors or standing out or being stylish or whatever.
For fashion, all black, uninteresting clothes, are generally neither hated, nor loved by people. It’s very meh, bland, uninteresting, not notable, and generally very meh. I’m good with that. I may never be “en vogue” or whatever the fuck, but I’ll never have someone looking at me like “you’re wearing that shirt with those pants?” They’re all black. I’m wearing black jeans with a black T-shirt.

This. Entirely this.
If they had just gone “woo hoo we’re on the TV thing at a concert! Woohoo” … Like everyone expected them to, then nobody would have given a shit.
They’re just people having fun at a concert.
Meanwhile, they freaked the fuck out, the guys on stage pointed it out, and everyone went full Psycho trying to figure out what was going on. And now they’re in the daily dose of Internet.
GG guys. Ĝis poste

I have never noted anyone’s username regularly on Reddit. Unless it’s because they consistently had terrible comments, then they would stand out as either a troll or an idiot; honestly, it could go either way with many of them.
Lemmy is small enough that I see some of your names daily.
Y’all better stay off my lawn.

They desperately need real users.
They have plenty of fake ones.

- Comment on Anon describes apple's practices 2 weeks ago:
Listen. Apple has a vested interest in you buying a new device. They “fix” your phone, it’ll be… What? Maybe $100? … They sell you a phone and it’s like 10x that.
Most people have so little fucks to give and so little free time to fuck around and find out, that they just shrug and go with it. Apple knows this. If they “can’t” (won’t) fix it, then it must not be able to be fixed anymore; the thoughts of a typical normie Apple user with more money than sense (or shits to give).
This is why Apple is a trillion dollar company. They treat their customers like ATMs. Just keep beating that horse until it stops making money.
If everyone simply replaced the batteries on their phones, not using Apple’s service (even when they’re willing to do the work), then they probably wouldn’t be worth a trillion dollars.
Since there’s enough NPCs out there giving them money to replace perfectly good devices with dead batteries, it will never change.
When you “trade in” your perfectly working phone for a new one, Apple suddenly absolutely can replace the battery, and they do, and then they sell your “unfixable” phone to the next schmuck, and make even more money.
I feel like this shit is so obvious that anyone who buys into the line “can’t be fixed” from Apple (or any other vendor), is insane, or mentally incapable of making rational decisions.
I fully accept that if I send my phone for service from the first party (in my case, Google), and they say it “can’t” be done, that’s not a hard no to fixing my stuff; that’s them refusing to serve me. I need to go somewhere else because I’ve been abandoned by the very people I put my trust into when I bought a device.

This is always the case. Whenever you deal with any educational institution, they don’t want you to give them the right answer ever. They want you to give them the answer that they told you that you should give; whether it’s right or wrong

Jokes on you. They just dilute the royalty payment among all the artists you’ve streamed, so Spotify’s cut isn’t really bring affected.
Fun right?

None of us did.
I didn’t get a say in whether or not to be born. I’m just here now and I have to deal with all of this shit.
- Comment on We really don't want to talk about our problems 2 weeks ago:
29 days “lost” at sea, is therapy for all of the external bullshit we deal with every fucking day.
By “we” I mean people in society, not just men. Everyone struggles with making their way in “this world” we built for ourselves. We made it to be this horrible.

- Comment on Can it take months to get over being laid off? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been there, done that. Welcome to the club my friend.
The only reason I got through my last layoff without stooping into a deep depression is that I’ve done this dance so many fucking times that I’m tired of it all.
Luckily I had a new job about a month later, which I 100% acknowledge is luck.
I still miss my previous job, it was much better than the one I have now. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not angry at being employed, I’m just sad that I didn’t get to remain employed with the last workplace.
I get it, 100%. Nothing you said is really all that abnormal. You clearly liked the job, and there’s no good way to express that loss. It’s just something you have to go through all the stages of. Eventually the whole ordeal will seem further and further away and you’ll settle into a routine and get your life back to where it should be. You lost something and it’s okay to be sad about that.
What isn’t good is if you start getting any worse than where you are at now. If you start sliding deeper into it, or you feel like you’re drowning, please seek help. The people who care about you don’t want to lose you.
My advice for the future is: never invest more than you’re willing to lose, whether you’re taking about money or emotional investment, the reality is that you can lose it all in a snap. Make sure you know what you’re risking and ensure you can sacrifice what you’ve invested if there’s a sudden change from management. Take care of yourself first, then worry about everything else.

Oh. Gmod brain rot.
There’s an interesting underlying message that I’m not sure is intentional, but yeah. Bunch of skibidi toilet “fun times” against the monitoring state engaged in war.
To me that says the only place where you’re unmonitored in on the shitter, which is accurate given how much of a walled Garden we, the “adults” put together for kids doing remote learning by locked down Chromebooks during COVID. Seems like the youth putting these together were expressing their frustration with basically having no freedom to express themselves or even explore and have fun during the lockdown because of all the restrictions in place; not just the restrictions related to COVID, but all of the restrictions that parents and teachers had the opportunity to enforce very strictly partly due to COVID lockdowns.
It’s a fascinating artistic statement from a pre-AI “art” era of only a few years ago.
10/10. Would skibidi again.

For feedback, I would just print off the federal labor codes for my country, highlighting specific sections. I’d just hand it to the management verbatim. I wouldn’t cherry pick or leave anything out, just emphasize specific passages.
Guess what? That’s illegal here.
It would be a thinly veiled threat that I’ll ruin their lives if they don’t back track immediately… All said without uttering a single syllable.

I’m not even sure what that means. I’m familiar with Harlem shake, but skibidi toilet?
The Internet is a weird place. I love it here.

OSHA probably cares.
The company should care, because if the workers are dropping off because of heat stroke, they’re not creating value for the shareholders.

As a straight, I agree with this.
Me personally, I’m ok, for the most part. I’m sure you are too … But all of my fellow straights? Most of them are… Well… Very not ok.
- Comment on I am two of them 3 weeks ago:
As someone who is straight/cis/male, and very secure in that… Anyone who takes offense… Probably gay. Just saying.
I don’t take any offense to this stuff. I know who I am. I know what I like. I know where I stand in the grand scheme of things. I live by a very straightforward philosophy: don’t like gay sex? don’t have gay sex. Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t get gay married. Don’t deny someone else of what you don’t want for yourself.
We’re all different, and that’s a good thing.
- Comment on I am two of them 3 weeks ago:
Do not apologize. That’s quite the story you have.
If you’re unhappy with where you are, who you are with, or who you are, you can always change. It’s never too late and trust me, as a long term supporter of the LGBTQ+ movement (despite being very straight/cis), they are a very accepting group.
As an outsider, I can’t tell you what, how, or when changes are going to work best for you, nor what changes you could, or should make. That’s entirely your decision and it’s a big one, and I’m sorry about that. I’m only saying that it’s not too late to figure out who you are and how to be comfortable with your life.
All the best. Take care of yourself.

I don’t expect to retire.
I’ll probably be found at my desk on a Monday, not even first thing, but like, at 11:45, after dying there sometime Friday afternoon, and people just thought I was “working late” and left for the weekend, while I’m a literal corpse.
Whatever. I’m over it. I won’t have any fucks left to give when that happens because I won’t be alive to give any fucks.
