I'm really glad you so effectively censored the word b*ttom, I wouldn't want my poor innocent eyes to be exposed to the top-right pixels in the letter o

It's engagement bait and you're falling for it

I'm sure they're very excited about their Lemmy metrics

Please explain to us how the Threadiverse algorithms promote content that receives either more comments or more direction-agnostic voting activity, and how this isn’t just OP being lazy and not selecting an uncensored version of the meme that they found on a site which has either those factors or which does reduce the visibility of posts with taboo words in

Attention seeking and validation seeking are baked into human personalities to varying degrees, and plenty of behavior predating social media (and even the internet) was motivated by those tendencies.

I never claimed it was, I was just referring to the original intent with which the half censor was placed on the image.

Bottom

Sorry

What the FUCK bro. You can't just type that shit.

Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net · -4 pts · 266d (5 replies)

Just once, I would like to post a meme and people see the content not the needless censorship that the original OP used so that it doesn't get flagged by heavy handed AI on other sites.

Memes are weird, like, you contributed nothing to its creation, yet you’re acting all defensive like it was yours

Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net · 0 pts · 266d

I don't see how my comment is defensive, but I get tired of reading the same response even when it's a half decent meme. In this case the censorship is pretty marginal.

Weird hill for people die on, but at least they're dead I guess.

athatet@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 266d

Just once, I would like to view a meme and people haven’t censored the content.

Also I don’t really give a shit about different sites. There is a reason I’m here and not there.

JcbAzPx@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 266d (1 reply)

Then post something not censored.

Being the CEO of your own company really isn't a guarantee of much, though.

If he sais something like "CEO of a fortune 500 company", that would be a bit different.

Neither is a entry level software engineer.

Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net · 5 pts · 266d

'entry' level alright

It's not just any company, it's a law firm 10 years after founding...Yeah, it could be a law firm that's barely scraping by in some village with 3 other law firms, but I highly doubt it. Plus it's a joke. The punchline is that the person is loaded.

Dasus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 266d

But time doesn't mean growth, necessarily. A whole lot of companies are one man businesses, which don't even plan to grow.

Hell, basically being an uber driver means you're an entrepreneur with your own company, but slogging around drunks and pizzas all over town for 10 years doesn't really improve the situation.

The punchline is that the person is loaded, yeah, but it doesn't follow from the premise, and that's kinda my point. It hasn't been set up properly, see?

wait I'm out of the loop, what happened in 2023? My first full time software engineer job started in January 2023 so I might have missed whatever it was?

I'm almost there, the fourth panel is getting close enough that I can smell it. In ten years I'll be there for sure, maybe five.

Lots of layoffs

Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 266d

this is when the covid subsidies disappeared so companies started firing everyone.

Then the AI investments, and then just layoffs for fun.

I wanna be a housebottom.

Rooty@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 266d (3 replies)

It's all fine and dandy until the top comes back home and finds you lounging on the couch instead of cooking and then you get flogged raw.

Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net · 16 pts · 266d (1 reply)

That's supposed to be a problem?

Rooty@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 266d

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

daggermoon@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 266d

That just sounds like abuse.

Granted, you may reside at the bottom of my house.

Are we talking basement or do i have to crawl everywhere

toynbee@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 266d

My current house only has a crawl space.

I love this house, but I do miss having a basement, especially whilst accommodating denizens such as yourself.

daggermoon@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 266d (2 replies)

I'd rather reside in your walls.

toynbee@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 266d (1 reply)

Nice! But you're welcome, I'm pretty lonely.

daggermoon@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 266d

Turn off the lights, sit on the floor and, light four candles around you. Then close your eyes and I'll be with you always ;)

What's a hetero housetop? A bum? Seems ironic, no?

Aggravationstation@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 267d

Should have spelt it asspirations surely

toynbee@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 267d (2 replies)

This happened almost verbatim in Doctor Who.

edit: Also, I'm guessing this isn't actually you, but the color scheme is reminiscent of LCARS.

Zaplinaki@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 266d (1 reply)

Sir the color scheme is called grindr

toynbee@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 266d

I wonder whether they were inspired by Star Trek.
