  • Yeah. It’s a but like Manic Pixie Dream Girl. It was used to describe a specific terrible character in a bad movie where she had no other role other than to appear when needed and be perfect for the scene and the main character to fix him ignoring any character consistency or growth, but then it became an insult to just women and then its own joke.

    We complained about the shitty comic cause it was jarring and weird as a way to handle a serious issue and it being so distasteful was the point. And it’s been eroded as just a reference to be made now for the sake of the reference.

    Meaning and origin break down with iteration. We either need to let it die and stop responding to it or work to fix it.


  • Well I I imagine the rest of us think it’s pretty self explanatory.

    What don’t you get about tattooing the name of a Brand and politician and an arbitrary year on your face, while playing iSpy with your social media posts?

    Wait… No… I said it out loud… Nah, include me in confused.



  • So, in Philly there is tales from the event that says a fight broke out of playfully throwing the chamber pots at each other, while full.
    That the broken chinaware being referred to is not glasses but of the toilets. And it’s why it was so expensive.

    I personally believe it cause I mean… It’s Philly. Always was and has been.

    But supposedly also Washington hated parties and the rambunctious drunk types so… Who the fuck knows. Everyone was drunk back then.


  • Obituaries for the restaurateur Ado Campeol (1928–2021) reported that it was invented at his restaurant Le Beccherie in Treviso on 24 December 1969 by his wife Alba di Pillo (1929–2021) and the pastry chef Roberto Linguanotto (1943–2024).[18][19][20] The dish was added to its menu in 1972.[21][22][23] According to Carminantonio Iannaccone, he created the tiramisu at his bakery, Le Beccherie, on 24 December 1969.[24]

    I mean it does seem to imply that he did since you know… He was the pastry chef and this is a pastry. Though you know there is that other guy saying he did it first even though it’s 3 v 1 and likely parallel creation would occur for something as simple as a deconstructed/reconstructed after dinner coffee dessert.






  • No. It’s not our problem to fix. It’s sometimes just a choice to walk away which everyone seems these days to push that you should just focus on yourself anyways.

    If they don’t want our input, or effort or thoughts but just want a vote and some money then fuck it. I’m not involved and I don’t have the sway or money to even be a bother to them.

    I won’t just be a resource to be won by default.


  • Sure but also general trolls that are just trying to get an emotional rise just piss in wind thinking they aren’t getting bait. It’s that concept of not feeding the trolls.

    Also comments are reddits bread and butter so processing a few extra aren’t really impacting them and they are small to begin with. There is also the added bonus of it looks good on metrics for interactions.

    I think assuming every troll has a bot army is greatly overestimating them, people are more underwhelming than even they like to admit. And seems like it could help with minor deviants but also I wonder if that would make them act up more and turn to more offensive ways of baiting an audience, but then you ban them.
    Sort of like boiling a group down on purpose. A bit awful as you help nurture the problems to be more easy to remove.



  • On Reddit you will be banned if you say something the mods don’t like and they take personally. And it can get you banned off the sire permanently too.

    Often commenting on one thread will ban you from other subreddits entirely by bot. Plus all the same garbage of not being able to say words that are considered naughty or no-no words from people who think it makes them superior are all over reddit.

    I once got banned from a “leftist” subreddit cause I pointed out that a post was right wing disinformation and the mod responded that they agreed with it so it couldn’t be propaganda and then spent like an hour yelling at me in my messages about how it was a starter leftist sub and that I didn’t belong if I wasn’t going to agree.

    But honestly the world is full of the dumbest little shits and everyone everywhere has a quirk and Lemmy is full of people full of themselves and thinking their shit don’t stink. That and moderately well off liberals that can’t handle being told they are wrong because they “are well educated and know how things work”.

    I do think it’s insane how quick people are to block and how even more empty it makes the fediverse, interesting that you are dealing with people that also have the ability to delete your replies though as that’s not really a thing on Lemmy so maybe a mastodon thing?

  • No, I can assure you even if they work directly in the building there is no way there isn’t a middle man contract holder that allows the immediate firing of employees without effort. I work in this kind of tech. The goal is to have the least amount of actual employees as possible for these companies because it gives the least liability and the fastest route to letting them go.

    Amazon does this with their delivery drivers what makes you think they aren’t making sure there is a middle contract holder here too.



  • And no response from them but it’s people complaining who are wrong cause it makes them feel bad and it can be waived away with “but I’m sure it’s better now, it’s good for me”

    Same argument every time. Sure harm reduction isn’t working but maybe you haven’t tried being up against a bad enough harm and also we need to not make a sound or else Mommy might come in and beat us for being upset.

    Complaints about the system and setup we are in are more upsetting to those that can ignore it than the issues themselves.
