I genuinely want to know the thought process that leads anything resembling a representative of any kind of company to attempt to advertise their product on a hyper-niche platform that is pretty much only known for its anti-capitalist nature, specifically in the “shit posting” community.

10·9 days agoI feel like 37+ is really not that strange of an age to have lost both your parents. That’s an odd reaction.

That’s called “inflammation”

I mean it’s not even really close to the same thing, no? It’s a single use street and the use is “retail” and maybe a bit of food. The closest thing would be the ones with a string of cheap shitty apartments across the street.

This way, even those who don’t drive still pay for oil! Capitalism!
Yet when we suggest doing the same for healthcare it’s “socialism” and a bad thing

I always saw it as black and blue, until I was scrolling Reddit (as was the style back then) and saw a thumbnail for a meme that had the image of the dress in it. I didn’t pay attention to the thumbnail before opening it, so I only noticed a vaguely light colored object. But when the image loaded full size, the dress was the distinct black and blue I’d seen before. I backed out and took a second look at the thumbnail, and again it looked white and gold.
Now that I’m thinking about it, it could have been the surrounding colors of the screen that effected how I perceived the dress. After discovering this I recreated the effect by taking a screenshot of the dress while zoomed out really far (to essentially turn it in to a thumbnail on its own), but both that and the Reddit thumbnail had a dark background that may have made the dress seem lighter in comparison.
Using your previous few questions as context, I’m gonna say you call this “a really fun and fast 7 months”, which at your age is totally fine.
I’ve always been able to see both colors of the dress by changing the size of the image, so the phenomenon “made sense” to me, but I legitimately have no idea how that image is supposed to explain it lol. There’s two different colored dresses with seemingly random parts highlighted with different colored boxes… are they supposed to look the same in the highlighted area or something?
Fun to play around with and post screenshots I suppose, though I fail to see the use beyond that.
Can’t some things can just be… Fun? There was no “use” in Googling “do a barrel roll” or “askew” and having your webpage spin around or tilt to the side, but when silly things like that went away we all miss it.


Thank God for glitterkittyn’s contribution to the post, probably would’ve missed the main point if not for the subtle hint
