Fuuuuuuck

How about I do your job interviews for you? then we like, hit em with “The Prince and the Pauper”

Fuck, maybe that should be my life calling

Actually I’m just not good at things. Not even being malicious

I get a lot of jobs that I interview for because I’m a solid 5/10. Then they get to know me and it makes them think I lied to them about my qualifications but no, they just equated average-to-medium looks with competence and neurotypicality

educational entertainment. I have an ever growing library of lectures and essays that I keep stashed for when I need to lock in on a 12 hr task where I’m likely to get overstimulated. sprinkle in a stand up comedy special here or there just to keep me awake.

I didn’t know that. I think on reddit that would have creeped me out but I might not end up minding as much here.

it’s valid in its intent, having my run in with the people you’re describing sucked. I just saw karma checks taken to some pretty ugly places on reddit before I ghosted out of there. In my encounters with genocide deniers here, the problematic aspect I saw was a mod team interfering with the comments and deleting responses. r/conservative on reddit does the same thing to keep their userbase trimmed down to only the most vocal and loyal christofascists.

I kind of want to be on a website where people with admin priveledges are being held at least a little more accountable than regular users. but that’s probably just my damage talking. I can pretty assuredly say that actually real botting on fediverse is pretty inadequate since every user has to be manually approved and write a cover letter for many instances. the hoards of genocide deniers you see are probably actual living CCP citizens engaging in a documented cultural passtime

oh hell yeah, thanks 👍

ohh, I can’t see their instance on voyager unless I click on their profile. curious, this is the second policy I’ve seen piefed borrow from post-2023 reddit. is that kind of their goal?

oh god, lemmy.world does karma checks? Jesus wft

you’re right it was my VPN. god, this is pretty bawler though. maybe I’M a tardigrade

get it, queen. tell your secrets to no one

New Order and Depeche Mode were pivotal in my development

track is unavailable :(

the Mountain Goats and Ben Howard got me through some bad shit a decade ago

right now Sullivan King and Lacuna Coil are prepping me for something scary coming up.

Guys I’m fine, all natural face today :)

I think a lot about where I would be in terms of being able to use Linux if I hadn’t spent all these years just trying to make windows not cancer

god that’s toxic. is lemmings.world a common instance to see that kind of unhinged shit from? I’m considering blocking the instance to prevent ever interacting with one of that guy’s alts

edit: apparently it’s a known problem. but yeah it’s only a matter of time before somebody like that starts hedging their bets and trying other places

then it sounds like you’re very proactive in your life and are seeing the rewards of being well adjusted. I’m glad you didn’t take it as encouragement to constantly push everyone’s boundaries, I worried I had worded it poorly.

I have a spiel I usually like to give about this. But long version short, rejection is really good for us. So is seeking out situations where we can possibly be told no.
