  • No, and doubly so on the second. SEO = search engine optimization. Big corps pay people to manipulate themselves into the top hits of searches; I don't see Lemmy ever doing that.

    The top hits will be from companies that scrape the Fediverse for content then poop AI-generated slop into "top hit" positions they paid Google for.

  • Pedantic Esquire points out the prompt didn't say the chud themselves has to be the one uttering the phrase. A phrase stated by someone else about the chud still reveals the subject's chud-ness.

  • Easy. Build friendships outside of work with the people you enjoy spending time with, avoid working for the bad manager. The smart person realizes the most fulfilling relationships aren't built at work.

  • Sources needed. Smells like misinformation.

  • Kongbap says nah, it's all you need to survive.

  • A couple episodes of Burbs. I saw it advertised while waiting for the Bad Bunny show. It's lightweight fun. I dig Keke Palmer.

  • Blue collar and skilled aren't mutually exclusive terms.

    It's skilled or unskilled (takes advanced training or not)

    And blue collar or white collar (manual labor or office/desk work)

    E.g., a welder is both skilled and blue collar

  • He later said he was sorry his choice of language had “offended some people.”

    Back to 2nd grade with you, sir, when we learn a good apology takes accountability for one's actions, not blaming others for their honest reactions to your racism.

  • It was before Trump ran the first time, but my folks were precursor to MAGA. I was not. I didn't like having to sit and listen to their hateful opinions of people not like them. So once I had an education and job that made me fully financially independent, I left.

  • Keen to see what he does with werewolf lore. ETA December 2026.

    Werwulf is an upcoming period horror film directed by Robert Eggers, who co-wrote the script with Sjón. The film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, and Ralph Ineson. In 13th-century England, a mysterious creature stalks a foggy countryside as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality for the villagers.

  • My sister. She reads like no one else I've ever met. No joke, she can listen to an audiobook on 2x speed while reading a separate physical or ebook at the same time. Two books at once. Madness. Needless to say, she reads a lot and does a pretty good job finding good stuff. So I check in on what she's liked in genres that overlap with my interest. Check 2 is if I can find a given book at my library.

  • Note the name of OP's instance and engage at your own risk.

  • First thought: I hope the women are safe and have an avenue to report him and get help if his advances are not welcome

    Second thought: he's a creep

  • I directly saved a kid's life once, so while I wouldn't expect him to remember my name decades for now, it would kinda be nice if he shares positive stories of my daring rescue with his kids and grandkids someday.

    My name is on patents from several jobs ago. Some nerd reading obscure patents decades from now may note the only lady on the patents is always last in the list despite all the men's names being in alphabetical order and will wonder if it was sexism. It was.

    I still get hits and comments to a travel blog I wrote in the 00's. It doesn't have my real name but will probably last longer than most of my other online presences. I appreciate the comments that indicate the reader found valuable travel info in my posts or the comments that say I'm funny.

    I'm not going to have kids so I expect to be forgotten from most live humans' memories within a generation.

  • "art should not be political"

    I'm excited to hear an extraterrestrial alien has come to visit, because surely this is not a human being who has lived even one day of the human experience. Too bad the alien is cool with genocide.

  • I go through phases of collecting/trialing hobbies as a hobby. I develop a list of things I'm interested in, what about them is drawing my interest, how much it would cost to jump into entry-level projects, and a target I want to hit to understand if it's a hobby I want to keep one not. Also how I'll learn.

    So for me that looks something like:

    1. leatherworking, I really want a customized notebook holder that fits exactly what I'm looking for. That's $20 in basic tools, $50 in leather including enough for simpler projects as I develop skills. Target is to try something simple, like a baggage tag or simple bifold wallet to see if I like it before spending more time and money on it. Plenty of YouTube videos available, local Tandy store has classes, my sister also knows the basics.

    2. digitizing the parents' photo negatives. I want a brain dead project to do while watching movies during cold winter evenings when I'm not going outside. Cost is negligible, I have the stuff I need. Time needed to develop a good workflow and file naming and tagging system. Maybe some YouTube videos if needed, brother is a photographer and willing to consult on workflow. Longer term: buy external hard drives and gift to siblings or talk to brother about his Immich server. Branch off into new project to self-host Immich myself?

    I have six more items on the "do I want to turn these into hobbies" list. It's a hobby in itself to learn about and plan potential hobbies.
