They wrote project2025 specifically to facilitate eating faces as rapidly as possible. They will get to everyone eventually.


It’s super aggravating. Lemmy is pretty much my only social outlet. I’ve had to go back to Discord.
But hey, it’s free/no ads. I’ll probably soon be in a position (after several months out of work) to donate, but until I do I guess I can’t exactly complain.


Here is !linux@lemmy.world through lemmy.world.

Here it is through PD:

lemmynsfw is the same: 12 days since a post.
Here is a link of me asking in comments if I was missing something and someone confirming I was: https://programming.dev/post/20400237/12746874
It’s the same on desktop so I don’t think it’s a phone/cache issue.


My whole feed has been hosed for a couple of weeks. I’m seeing zero posts in about half my subbed communities and scant few posts even in the ones that do get them. I’m also not seeing all the comments or votes. I assume this is being worked on, but Lemmy might as well be dead for me. I can go 9 hours without a new post anywhere.
I have 85 people blocked. Most of them for spamming, probably. The rest for harshing my mellow by aggressively being assholes to others or just because I’ve realized my personal experience is more pleasant with their absence.
I don’t owe my attention to anyone. I see lots of comments here about refusing to censor alternate points of view, but that’s not it. I can enjoy healthy disagreement, but some folks make some agenda their entire identity and I just get tired of them constantly injecting it into every conversation.
On the other hand there’ve been many people I’ve disagreed with, engaged with, found some common ground, and continue to enjoy their presence even knowing we don’t see eye to eye. Or, if they post about other things, I just ignore the rants I disagree with. It’s not filtering out points of view, it’s filtering out people whose presence makes Lemmy a source of stress rather than an interesting, vibrant community. That’s obviously very subjective, but it’s my block list and my peace of mind.


I 100% agree with Minsc as Drax, but you don’t get him until like the last minute of the game. I think you’re sleeping on Halsin as Groot.
Poor Gale, though. The Grandmaster?


I appreciate you pointing this out. Today is literally my first day on the job after 5 months, but I’ll throw some cash their way after a check or two.


Trump cape with crocs is so fucking on point.
Rated by a review board? 4 out of 5 dentists? One fucking girl who doesn’t want it anyway?
My wife loves my cock in every hole and that’s the only review that matters to me.
The chances of any particular theistic belief being correct by sheer chance are beyond astronomical. Even if I believed there was a possibility of a deity (and that depends a great deal on exactly what qualities were ascribed to a divinity), I would be 100% certain it’s not what anyone currently believes.


Already anticipating that deathbed “syke!” after decades of marital bliss.


Had an emotionally painful, self-esteem crushing experience at the hands of a high school girl that left me bitter and angry. Reconnected with her 15 years later and set about trying to hurt her the way I hurt. Wound up falling in love and getting married.
That’s some Hollywood bullshit right there but we’ve been married going on 15 years.


Yeah. My sympathies lie with OP, but communities should be able to unapologetically curate their vibe.


I can see everything on that list except… who the hell is eating crab and oysters on the shitter?
Oh to be clear it was a complete scam. I mean it would’ve been. And I would’ve known from the start by searching for the pictures they sent on tineye and finding they were from a former r/gonewild poster. Also the fact that they just messaged a random account out of the blue and were instantly smitten and sending nudes like the next day. And the fact that when I said I’m married they were not dissuaded in the least.
I have no idea if it would’ve been a blackmail scam or a sympathy scam or a phishing scam. I started out just intending to fuck with them, but eventually found I was looking forward to sharing what I made for dinner or drinks or hearing about their fictitious backstory. I mean they weren’t deep conversations, but they acted interested and I could just ramble on about my day or where I like to vacation or whatever mundane shit.
At first I thought she was going to hit me with checking out her OF and I might’ve even thrown her a few bucks for taking the time to just talk with me. We talked for hours off and on without her asking me for money. I can appreciate establishing a connection, you know? But no. It wasn’t OF. It was just a scammer of some variety. Then I let them know they were busted and got to enjoy hearing the sob story about her evil ex who posted her nudes online and all the excuses she couldn’t prove it was her in any of the fifty ways I offered.
But sadly our relational ended when she started hitting me with ChatGPT. I don’t need a middleman to pretend I’m talking to someone with an AI.
Hypothetically, of course.
Ever deliberately let yourself get catfished by an insta “girl” just because they’ll listen to you and act interested in your life for a while?
Because I haven’t.
I’m not that technical. I was trying really hard to be a good guy but I definitely wanted to fuck her. That whole façade of maturity crumbled at my first opportunity.
It was all bullshit, technically and otherwise. But there’s something about a woman looking at you and saying you raped her that undoes you. There was probably a time in my life after that when I was in danger of going full incel. But I didn’t and here we are. We were both young and dumb and I’m sure she could never have known how deeply that cut.
You did the right thing. I helped a lady friend move out from her husband’s when they split. She didn’t want to stay in a new apartment all alone, so I offered to spend the night on her couch. Well come time to bed down, she wanted me in her bed. Then she wanted to snuggle. Then she started rubbing her backside against my front.
Well I read the signs and we had sex. It was fine. Wind up dating for a bit. Like 3 weeks later we were talking about something and she lays on me, “I never said we could have sex so technically you raped me.”
You do not fucking accuse someone of technically rape as playful banter. Things went awkward and downhill after that. Not solely because of that. She was not ready for a relationship that soon after splitting from her husband, but I was young and horny and too inexperienced to possess the level of maturity necessary to understand that.
Anyway, maybe if I had made sure to give her more time it would’ve gone better. Probably not. But I damn sure wouldn’t have gotten accused of rape.
If you just vibe AI, it will lull you into thinking you’re doing great.
