This proves my point. Normal people don’t think like this. It’s weird. A bar without smoking is like a church Jesus. This is one of those topics online where you feel like you’re being deliberately gas lit. But I have to remember I’m surrounded by the weirdest of the weird.
They are not in the minority. The Internet is not the majority. You and I do not remotely represent the vast majority of people in any way shape or form. No one here does.
Most people want to bring smoking indoors back. The only people who don’t are the weird shut-ins who sit around posting online all day. People out in the real world don’t view having an after meal cigarette as equivalent to fucking slavery.
You guys have to remember that if you ask a random person on the street what Cthulhu is, they’re not going to have a fucking clue. Everyone in this thread is a weirdo. Including me.
It’s like fining my neighbor 200 bucks because he wasn’t telling me to watch my step everyday when I walked down the stairs waving to him and eventually fell and broke my ankle.
Quake maps are famous for being primarily shades of brown. The make up is just shades of brown like Quake maps.
Ever since the Kardashians became famous, women tend to imitate this look when they want to look glamorous. I’ve never been a fan of that style of make up. I especially raise an eyebrow when white women do it because it kinda seems like brown face to me.
When my woman gets all dolled up, I want her looking like Dr. Frank-N-furter.
Modern make up sucks. Used to, women put on lots of make up to look all glamorous and sexy. Now they put on lots of make up to look like a Quake map.
It depends on the doctor today. I have a few that make you wait forever and then are in and out in 30 seconds when they see me.
Somewhat new here. Is this “rule” thing a Lemmy specific thing or is it popular elsewhere on the Internet where I don’t go?
Also, I kinda understand it but what exactly does it mean?
I’m sorry if you lost your job, but if you actually helped improve talking to these damn things then I thank you for your service.
If you’re talking about the automated phone thing, they’ve been trying to do that since the 90s. In the past the secret “get me a human” trick was to keep mashing zero till you got a human. Today, you can just keep saying “human” or “I need to speak to a human”.
You’re assuming AI will successfully replace enough jobs to have a social impact. You’re buying into the hype. I can’t think of a single job it can replace.
I think your job might be safe. AI has been doing speech to text for over a quarter century. It’s been bundled with Windows since XP. And nobody uses it because it has all the same problems that modern AI has.
What job were you doing that AI can do it?
It isn’t the “cigarette baron’s” fault any more than the beer baron’s fault or the parachute maker’s fault. Some people are going to die if they choose to indulge in mildly risky behavior. If the scenario is something like this, everyone here will be pushing that button. Don’t say you won’t because you will.
To the average person, woke is just the new, more concise word for politically correct.
You’ve just said what I’ve been thinking all these years. Except the video. I think that might be why people praised it. They knew he didn’t have long to live and the video is pretty heartbreaking when you think he might have chose the song because he was bitter about losing everything he ever worked for.
IMHO, the cover sucked but I do think it was from the heart.
It’s been around for half a century and nobody knows about it. It’s like a world wonder, a modern Library of Alexandria.
Is there data that the vast majority of people in the world are not communist Linux-using weebs on the autistic spectrum suffering from anxiety problems who find jokes about operating systems, Lovecraftian horrors, and quantum mechanics hilarious, and relate to memes about standing in the corner at a party and not talking to anybody?
We are not the majority, my friend. This is one of those things where you really need to take “trust me bro" as the best double blind study you’re gonna get. Your question is the best data I can give.
