Trump will just turn it around with a sharpie.

I never thought I’d say it, but I don’t even use YouTube anymore. I might go there once a month to watch a tute, but only if I absolutely can’t find help from any other website.

Why weren’t any of us invited? Fucking selfish, bro.

Well, I disagree. I didn’t touch Reddit for a year and finally went back about a month ago.

• THE ADS. Fuck me, the ads now!

• The corporate plug-ins. I had a legit, verified business comment on my post and then PM me after it.

• The videos freeze more often than makes me comfortable clicking on them.

• The pop-up trash now; “follow this”, “click here”, “did you know”, “ICYMI”. The U.I looks like Yahoo’s home page now.

Is it dying? I don’t know. Is it exhibiting every square inch of desperation, turning the corner from what was once cool, to what is now every pixel monetised and sponsored? Yup!

If you stick it out here for long enough, three things will change.

1. You’ll begin to really like it here. It’s different but it grows on you, and it’s growing with its users.
2. Your addiction to these noticeboard-type socials will dramatically reduce. There’s something about Lemmy that’s less addictive in a good way.
3. You’ll eventually go back to Reddit and see it with new eyes, realising just how quickly it’s dying.

When I’m hanging out with the lads I like to announce that I’m going for an [insert friend’s name] out of my [insert other friend’s name].

I’ve gotta push a Steve out of my Bradley.

Linux users and vegetarians. Neither can shut the fuck up. Both have made it their identity.

Are you a Linux user?

Hey everyone, shut up! This guy is a Linux user and he’s here to tell us about using Linux.

Piece of shit doesn’t contact piece of shit about piece of shit, shot by piece of shit.

Next.

Personally, I think every woman should go to jail for keeping her eggs in her ovaries. That’s child imprisonment.

How dare they.

Yeah, hi. I’m lactose and gluten intolerant and I was wondering if…

I’ve worked with massive customer databases of over a million people multiple times in jobs I’ve had. And while each company has spent tens-of-thousands of dollars in cyber security to protect that data from outside hackers, none have given any fucks at all about who accessed it internally or what they do with it.

I’ve literally exported the entire customer database in two different jobs, dropped the CSV into my personal Google Drive (from my work computer), and worked entire databases at home.

No one has ever known I’ve done it, cared, or checked if I have any customer personal data when I quit.

Nice one. Who’d’ve guessed.
