I don't know. One of my friends in college was an astrology girl but I made a point to not ask her for details (OR tell her about the thing I learned at my internship--)

HUEHUEHUE please do NOT give stray cats and dogs handjobs.

But as the other poster said -- It means "half joking"

My most iconic character (in the shared imaginations of my friends) is my sorceress pirate gal from a Final-Fantasy style campaign.

Our party included:

• A tragic Samurai looking to avenge his father who got war-crimed.
• A rogue who had their name stolen and is basically a blob of pure self-hatred.
• A warrior monk looking to develop her strengths so she can protect the weak
• A former slave who spent hundreds of years in slavery and wants to punish the slavers.
• A knight who lost all his memories except the traumatic memory that resulted in all the other lost memories.

........ And then there was my gal. A magic college professor who decided "**** it, I'm tired of being boring. I'm gonna go and be a sky pirate, and I want to die an epic death". She is the team mom.

Neither? I'd wash my hands off the whole thing "on your head be it if this goes to shit".0

Not calling the authorities, also not going to need torture to tell them what I know if you get caught.

Horoscopes on radio shows? Made up on the spot or stolen from google. And I'm willing to bet the ones on newspapers and websites are too.

I wonder how many astrology girlies would have their hearts broken by this.

Learned this when I interned at a radio station. (My field is communications; Journalism + Marketing.)

The cats and dogs out in the street are free. You can just bring a friend home. /hj

I've seen the videos about historical fashion

I know for a fact that this is all fabric padding. u-u

You WILL look like you have an impossibly thicc butt and an impossibly slim waist if you've basically strapped a Blahaj to your ass and another to your boobs.

I am all of these depending on how depression/anxiety has been treating me lately

Linux in the modern day is a much comfier experience for an uninitiated user. But the real nightmare is using Linux WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION (it STILL super sucks nowadays), which depending on how you were connecting your old machine to the internet, the only solution was "... Buy a different network card/Switch ISPs entirely"

Linux has gotten a lot better about just. Supporting hardware in general. And once you GET a Linux distro (any) on the internet, your life gets much easier.

It makes sense, I'd just never seen it. My brain sees 'zoom' and thinks 'business, work'.

Me and my role-playing mates are also on that VTT+VoIP-Call life because we live kilometers away from one another.

whow, RPG over Zoom. Didn't know people did that. It was always Discord for us. (WELL, Skype in the way back when times when my back didn't hurt but y'know)

In conclusion, your experience here can be what you make of it; don’t be afraid to just block the parts that stress you out. You’re not “creating an echo chamber” as everyone likes to say (often in bad faith) – you’re just taking care of yourself.

We really, REALLY need to de-stigmatize blocking people. Bad-faith concern trolls have successfully convinced people that "choosing not to interact with someone" is akin to censorship and also bad for us because what do you MEAN you don't want to be disrespected by a complete stranger? Are you creating an echo chamber by preferring to be with people who are nice to you?!?!?!?

Like. No. Fuck off. That's not how it works in real life. We're not friends. We're not even co-workers for me to be stuck having to be polite to you even if you're an asshole.

You're a complete stranger and you're saying rude shit at me (or even at other people with me bearing witness), at best I'll walk away because I don't need that shit, at worst I'll call you a wanker and hit you in the face.

I can't argue with that.

If it is any consolation -- It was most likely a robot.

Like 99% of large reddits are almost entirely moderated by a modbot, and the modbot is stupider than your average LLM assistant (and LLM assistants aren't very smart), while also being extremely strict.

Why though?

Two things, really. First, I'm not a tech guy. I'm a writer with mild interest in technology and science. The whole thing is drowned in jargon and it honestly feels to me like a lot of it is intentional. If something a. Is very complicated; b. Doesn't hook me; and c. It is not my job to know it... I can't be arsed to research it.

Second, and more relevant if less respectable -- Negative emotional vibes. Too many bad experiences with The Worst People On The Internet (tm) being all over crypto.

🤔

WELL. I will concede on the thing about american dollar hegemony. Even I, a crypto hater, would be stupid to pretend cryptocurrency didn't at all move the needle on that. I've seen it benefit third world people with my eyes (I live in the third world, hi)

Other than that I'll just nod and say 'yes' because I really don't care enough to research into crypto (imma h8r), so I'll assume you're right. [nods] "yes"

That said. MAN, you must hate the kind of company you end up stuck with. Crypto as far as I know is MOSTLY very weird AnCap types

Can I put you in a glass display case? You are an incredibly rare and incredibly strange specimen.

Muh prompts tho /s
