Trying to log into AWS this morning for work, and while I’m waiting for the errors to clear out I stumbled upon this article. Thanks for posting!

For no reason at all, how does one get free amazon dildos??

Even on his shows he’s rarely ever mean to the staff, he’s more focused on the owners.

Exotic coloration and a big one to! Definitely a keeper

Man, I have a new favorite animal, and it turns out it’s a plastic clip

I’m great at getting liquid in my lungs. After so long you would think I would have figured out how to drink liquids, but I fuck it up all the time

Hold on now, keep cooking

I work at a call center for insurance stuff and regularly have people start the call with ‘REPRESENTATIVE’ or ‘SPEAK TO A HUMAN’ because they think I’m still a part of the IVR system. One thing to keep in mind with any call center, is that no matter how specific you feel like your problem is, that rep has said that exact same line thousands of times, probably a few times that same day. For a lot of issues, it’s the same thing, just swap some names and numbers. And when you say the same thing over and over, you get really good at communicating the exact information that someone needs with as few of the little imperfections that’s make a conversation sound ‘human’ as possible.

We’ve always called it the Carolina squat

One of the accounts that I have to use at my job is like this but much much worse. It only accepts letters and numbers, no capitalization, no symbols and can only be 8 digits long maximum. It’s like they want to account to be easy to compromise.

Hey, I’ve had a samsung for years and I’ve never heard of it before. Are we talking about the one by Soda Development? It looks like a way to password lock an app, what does it have to do with app icon grids?

Edit : That’s the wrong app, you’re almost certainly talking about Good Lock by heyUp.

I think the ‘problem’ the meme is referencing is supporting centralized social media run by corporations. I think the ‘problem’ you are talking about is more along the lines of tech addiction. Something can fix one problem without fixing every problem.

I mean, a lot of roleplayers don’t… It’s definitely pathetic, but like of all the reasons it is, not responding in first person is a weird one to single out XD

Just my two cents of course

Edit : And actually looking back at the picture, the prompter themselves even describes their action as [He] takes her hand, not [I] take your hand, so it makes even more sense for the AI to be doing the same.

Damn, I just shaved my legs for the first time because I thought it would be fun (It definitely is interesting) like a week ago and missed the opportunity to do something like this for a laugh.

This post has reignited my interest in reading Fate, so I was looking into it, and while I may have though Astolfo was a girl I have come to the conclusion that they are hot not… I mean’t not.

Neco-Arc who is a character in a few Type Moon games in the Tsukihime universe.

Neco-Arc is a tiny gremlin catgirl version of one of the main cast Arcueid Brunestud who only shows up in what are essentially ‘hint’ scenes after the player has fucked up and needs to retry in order to progress the story.

IMO it would make sense if their professor knew Neco-Arc and wasn’t just accidentally using a meme character, because Tsukihime is an adult visiual novel (There’s really not a lot of sex in the main story, call it 30 minutes out of a 12 hour visual novel, and the remake removes it entirely if it’s not your thing) that came out in 2000.

If you’re at all into visual novels, I highly recommend it, the story is good (even the side characters stories) and its one of the few VNs where I finished it and didn’t despise the main character for being a complete idiot.

Oh and for what the joke is? Uhh she’s kinda a meme on her own, and an annoying moron.

Edit : Actually as another commenter pointed out, it’s a Neco-Arc version of Astolfo who is from the Fate VN series by the same devs. I haven’t read Fate yet (it is on my list though) so I can’t really say more about them.

ちがう - Isn’t it? / Wasn’t it?

I like your comment and I want to posit this.

If you want to swear then swear. Cool, I agree with this as it’s following a simple ‘Do what you want’ kinda thing.

If you don’t want to swear, don’t swear. Again sweet, do what you want.

But what if I want to swear, but I want to censor the swear word, even superficially (replace a vowel with something else, leaving the swear entirely readable where everyone can easily tell what swear is being used)? This is where I’m seeing a ton of people suddenly not as okay with people doing what they want, and that’s what I was trying to get at with this comment chain. Why are people so upset at people censoring themselves in this way?

And I’m not even suggesting that I do this all the time, just in some cases where I specifically want to swear, but softer. Like when I’m trying to make it abundantly clear that I’m not swearing at someone, I’m just swearing in general.

I really hope this doesn’t come across as confrontational and I appreciate that you took the time to reply. This just really feels like something that harms no one but for some reason makes a lot of people mad.

I just feel like people can choose for themselves. As another commenter said it takes a lot of the ‘oomph’ out of the swear which I believe does have a time and place. But many people seem to be over the top ofended if you choose to do so.

I’m certainly not suggesting that ‘everyone needs to censor their swears, think of the women and children!’ But lemmy seems to get more angry than I would consider reasonable if someone does censor themselves.

Best anti-censor swears argument I keep seeing is that people are doing it to be more advertiser friendly which is making the internet worse overall, and I whole heartedly agree with that, but sometimes with no other motive than I would prefer it, I like to say fxck instead of fuck.

We’ve gone all the way around so now censoring a swear makes people more upset than actually saying it and I really don’t understand why.

Year 2000

Say ‘fuck’

People get irrationally mad

Year 2024

Say ‘fxck’

People get irrationally mad

What happened?
