You’re either fabulous or you’re not. Has nothing to do with what’s in between your legs at birth or beyond.

You enter your dick into a beauty pageant, of course.

Not as fabulous as you thought.

foggy,

My ex has breast cancer.

It’s a weird emotion to learn someone who hurt you has a serious illness. Like “yeah, fuck you-- oh. Oh that’s way worse.”

foggy,

Bet the sex was dope tho

foggy,

I mean she did but still no.

Like, it’s not like she took a kid, or sullied my name, or took money, or ruined the life of anyone close to me. She just kinda deliberately and very dramatically broke my heart.

I’m fine now; it definitely altered the course of my life and definitely caused a lot of pain, struggle, isolation, depression, humiliation, anxiety, etc. And a decade ago I was sure I hoped she’d face the same. Well she’ll face all of what she put me through… And way more… Under the threat of death.

It felt like finding out your hero is a fraud, if that makes sense. Like “Oh, this is actually not what I wanted at all. This is not cool. This sucks. And is actually pretty depressing.”

foggy,

It is oddly a difficult thing to wrestle with. Thankfully I am healthy, I guess, you know? Appreciated.

foggy,

Ah yes, the term that as far as we can all tell seems to mean “aware of modern circumstances.”

Those woke pieces of fucking shit…

foggy,

The old orphan crushing machine.

“Every heartwarming human interest story in America is like ‘he raised $20,000 to keep 200 orphans from being crushed in the orphan-crushing machine.’ And then never asks why there is an orphan-crushing machine or why you’d need to pay to prevent it from being used.”

foggy,

It’s a slow grind, but I suggest consulting. It sounds like you have a diverse set of skills that could be of use to some companies.

My method is to apply to jobs that I can tell barely need to hire someone. A small juice company hiring a full time web developer? lol, no. A shoe store that needs a network admin for 50k??! bro.

I apply to these jobs and instead of applying, I sell. I have a website setup that has projects, certs, resume, git, art projects (digital). It all shows I can do a lot of different stuff. I talk to them about their actual need, and suggest that an ad hoc relationship should work (if it could)

I have some clients at $150 a month and 2 hrs per month, plus $75/hr after 2 hrs. I have some clients at $1500 a month, and 20 hrs per month. More like $200/hr beyond agreement. I assess on case by case basis.

I have 12 clients. I have a guaranteed $5000+ a month. I don’t work that much. Sometimes I have to cancel plans to work an emergency all nighter (if I fucked up…)

I have outsourced work before as well.

It’s taken me since 2019 to get here. I’ve tended a lot of bar since then to make ends meet, but it’s working now.

Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

Hi, I am a guy in early thirties with a wife and two kids and whenever I go on youtube it always suggests conservative things like guys dunking on women, ben shapiro reacting to some bullshit, joe rogan, all the works. I almost never allow it to go to that type of video and when I do it is either by accident or by curiosity. My...

It sees you like standup comedy (POTENTIALLY ANTI-WOKE) and gaming (POTENTIALLY INCEL) and in your 30s (LIKELY HAS SOME DISPOSABLE INCOME)

So it’s pipelining you to the annals of YouTube that check those boxes, have very good viewer retention and have good user engagement.

The ones with good user engagement are the ones that raise your blood pressure. They make you angry. So, politics, or dirty cops, interrogations, murder stories, stuff like that.

You can resist them all you want, but stuff that makes people angry and chatty and commenty and re-watchy is like cocaine to the algorithm. It makes them money, so they spam it everywhere it even remotely makes sense to try to get you stuck in their quicksand.

‘emotiinal blunting’

foggy,

Siiiigh. I don’t wanna. It’s true though.

Cold showers.

Especially after warm shower for the first half.

You should aim to barely be reacting. Focus on your breathing to distract your whole nervous system from the feeling of discomfort the cold water brings.

You’re training your body to not react to adverse events. To roadblocks, to shitty situations, to things that might otherwise derail you.

Cold showers are key.

Or, ya know… Batting cages.

foggy,

You mean like what happened on Facebook?

foggy,

They have too many users to die any noticeable death.

Their bot defense left. Tons of communities affecting millions of subscribers have changed to adopt rules to make their platform borderline unusable (/videos only allows text posts describing videos).

Without defense against bots, the place will become a “dead” website in that the majority of the content will be bots posting for bots, and a handful of addicted dipshit interacting with them.

Much like Facebook, their soup du jour will be anger. Posts will seek to dri e engagement from what few users remain, and the main method they will achieve this through will be so ially and/or politically divisive topics.

Let it rot from the inside out. Let it be the new Facebook.

Lemmy is new home now 😊

foggy,

Everyone but angry assholes left.

foggy,

I noticed this happened before the reddit blackouts. I haven’t been to reddit since. Is this a new occurrence of the same ChatGPT astroturfing or is this that same news?

foggy,

All my homies hate /u/spez

foggy,

No, just endless Simpsons references that fall on deaf ears.
