The actual "story" is that photoshoots for stock photos do a lot of random scenarios at once with given actors.

There's photos of the two women getting together and conspiring against the guy. There's also photos where he's visibly in a relationship with the other girl instead.

Crypto ~~Bros~~ Losers would be really mad at reading that, if they weren't busy fellating the owners of BoredApes after they made them blind.

...

What? No, that's not a joke.

"Had a good time with the homies who also got their eyes burned". These people are unbelievably down there in the pathetic human scale.

I prefer transmuting goblin to gold. Quite a curious spell, only works on those who mock magic.

If anyone wants to break ChatGTP the easiest way, right now it's to ask it to do riddles until it gets stuck in the fire or water riddles. They're extremely similar, and extremely typical of a generic riddle format, and ChatGTP.... Mixes up the two all the time.

If I'm only browsing top, I switch to .ml since I had an account there months ago

Remember how they took gold awards, a user made bot, and monetized it?

Any password restriction that LOWERS entropy is a bad restriction.

No, I'm not answering the question, I know. But I'm answering the better question, which is "is this a stupid thing to ask of a password?", and yes it is.

Firefox did the same.

And I actually love it.

You're saying this... On Lemmy. You do know we have three different "trending" settings here, right?

I honestly much prefer the idea of a chronological feed too, but disagree that's what kills a platform. Tumblr has both the chronological and the trending for you/for all, and it was also ignored.

I feel what you feel, and I agree with the dehumanizing comparison, but it is what it is. I just can't understand the mentality of the herd because it highlights a completely different set of priorities from that of good social media environment. So I hold that comparison to all its negative contempt.

Threads comes up with minimal advertising and people join it without really caring what it does and how well it does. It comes with many of the same usability and content discoverability issues that Twitter had on a its worst of days. The hierarchy of sponsored content vs follower content vs follower interaction vs follower-of-follower content vs whatever the hell further down this clown parade Threads openly does is just completely whack. And it is still just as obfuscated as the rest in terms of being favored by its algorithm, plus monetization of content is a complete question mark. And yet people still join, and not any random person, but the every-person and the famous and the political. AOC herself ignores Mastodon and makes up an excuse, but is on Threads day one.

And Why? Why join a mediocre, underbaked, and by the numbers platform that basically doesn't even innovate on the previous one? Because of the promise.

The promise it could be "The Next Big Thing".

Not saying I'm above it. Not saying there's superiority in standing to opposition to this or anything. For every thing I care about here, there will be many other things I don't and where I frustrate someone. But it still does make me overall more jaded about the world regardless.
