Every lady I grew up with also thought this, but for whatever reason I never really had that experience. I don’t know if I was already a little heathen at that age or what, but I remember 3 of us looking up pics on dial-up internet, my two friends going “Oh wow, it looks so weird!” “I think I’ll just stick with girls honestly…” and I was over here like

“Haha, nice.”

samesies lol

Lmao well done

I cringe internally at the part of me that once used XD unironically hahaha

Lmaooooo bussin

I finally found out about the ellipses phenomenon amongst the older gen a while ago, and how it was a common format in writing that they tried to transfer to texting and millennials constantly misinterpret as it passive aggression, which causes all sorts of anxiety lol

Shit you not, once asked for a recommendation letter from a summer job employer on campus for an open mic music lounge I hadn’t visited in a long time, and all he emailed me back was

“Sure…”

Needless to say, I thought “Oh fuck, he hates me. Nevermind. I should have come by more-” and never bothered to follow up on it lmfao

Technically a xennial, but yeah it’s a necessity lol

My speech is really blunt so I feel like every other thing I write would otherwise be misinterpreted as some personal attack lol

(Now reread it without the lols)

Elon Musk’s next mistress be like:

hahahahaha

I wouldn’t say Hilary’s poisoned. Matter of fact, I can’t remember the last time I saw a Clinton headline much less scandal. Also, my definitive Hilary will always be Hilary Banks lol

Excellent shitpost lol

That’s because no one’s actually answering OP’s question lol

Lemmy’s slowly approaching peak reddit Q&A format: “Where can I find X?” “X is stupid, use Y.”

Real dude… I was writing a story a while back, and usually when naming characters I just pull one from the noggin that “feels right”, and I fell on “Donnie” for a young delinquent that was meant to bite off more than he can chew picking a fight with real criminals. When I revisited it a bit later in time, I internally cringed and had to pick a different name altogether lol

Shame because I felt like the name suited him so well that I wound up not continuing the story much after that.

Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with me.

edit: wrong thread lol

That pfp is incredible

I’d care slightly more if they didn’t all work for Meta.

Despite me generally agreeing with OP’s point, I’ll give you that.

One of my biggest pet peeves with AI recently is how I’ve noticed indie game devs on itch.io become addicted to it. Everytime I think I’ve found a cool new game with a unique premise or game mechanic… the summary is AI slop. And if I give them the benefit of the doubt of just being too lazy to write their own summary… surprise, surprise. Every line of dialogue or plot in the game is cringe-worthy AI text and I uninstall it after about ~5 minutes in lol

So pretty much any dev I catch with an AI summary now is an insta-block on ublock filters and the rest of their catalogue won’t see the light of day.

It’s so goddamn frustrating that the only genre I can pretty much browse by anymore is No AI. It’s slowly getting to the point where I don’t even bother engaging with anything released within the last 3 years, so I won’t even bother checking out new stuff on the front page anymore. This is how you slowly kill a creative community.

hahahaha

This. I’ve never run into problems on Firefox with even the most sketchy seeming domains.

Even ChatGPT and every anime piracy site I’ve visited runs fine. What’s sketchier than those? lol
