yeah, but now we have a new word for it, and it’s “influencer”.

I would argue with you, but i imagined sitting on a rock at the ocean, and now i’m in too good a mood to argue.

well, it’s not like i have something better to do, lacking an ocean and a nice rock to sit on in the sun.

PSA: in the settings you can block whole instances, and if you want to eliminate this annoying problem, just block *.lemmy.ml and any instance that contains the string “hexbear”.

Problem solved.

because they get paid…?

Is it hard to understand for some people that “influencer” is a job title that actually hides very little of the day to day business they do.

“Don’t worry, he’ll not get a third term of office.”

Eh? how’s it going on that front?

imagine how happy they’ll be when they discover audiobooks!

you assume that vibe-coders can actually touch type. or type at all.

“three socialists walk into a bar, and the Bartender says ‘yo guys, drinks on me, thanks to your free healthcare my brother is still alive, and my mom can afford retirement without a job’”

Anyone needs handmade wooden furniture?

Because that’s what i’m going to be switching careers to if that trend comes to my place.

I had a discussion with someone about the language of the Tamarians, you know, “Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra” etc. They thought it was unrealistic that an advanced species had this culture-centerd mode of communication.

Then there is this short exchange, and I don’t even need the picture, but we both know exactly what it would look like, and the background and meaning it carries.

Oh no…

Nice! That’s easy !

America is what happens to every corporation when the middle management have finally all been promoted over the threshold of their actual abilities.

In case anyone actually cares: The (original first instance) ruling is from a small-ish local court in Germany, and the people in question re-posted the RT video on their website which is a comercial enterprise. this is the reason they got hit with the ruling, because the law is targeting comercial entities that carry or reproduce RT misinformation. If they had posted it to twitter, facebook or even their private non-comercial website/blog/whatever, there would have been no problem (besides marking themselves as guillable dum-dums. (if posted to twitter/facebook/insta, it would have been the resposibility of them to remove/block the video/content)

source: i read the court document, like anyone can who can click a link on the original (mis-representative) twitter post.

fun fact: i posted this as a reply to the lemmy ml post of this yesterday, and my comment was deleted and i was banned by mods. I guess they don’t like people who tell the truth over there.

aww. picked the wrong pile of Putin Puppets
