I've always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn't even able to comment on a post about me.
For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.
For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!
Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

_cnt0@sh.itjust.works · 41 pts · 245d
Or just don't give a fuck.
Story time: I had to give a presentation on a group project at university. I was wearing a shirt with a fist silhouette on it, which you could have mistaken as a symbol of a political movement, had there not been the text "nothing says I love you quite like fisting". Over lunch I had to go home, ~6km, on a bicycle, in the summer, on short notice, because of the plumber being in the house. So I was sweating like fuck and changed shirts. For some reason our team got summoned up to the front again later and my shirt read "I have 5 stars on youporn" with five stars over it. This was in front of 5 professors, ~10 post docs and university employees and ~80 students. On my way out from the cafeteria I greeted the hot blonde from engineering, who looked like she could be an adult content actress, and she laughed the cutest snort-laugh in a shockingly deep voice I've ever heard. Most of the profs "loved" me by the way; three of them competed over getting me into their projects and supervising my master thesis.

Not the complement you think it is.
_cnt0@sh.itjust.works · 27 pts · 245d
It wasn't really meant as a compliment. She usually looked like she was coming straight from the set of a porn movie. But I think, like me, she wasn't giving a fuck either. She was good at what she did and the right hand of the head of the engineering faculty. Don't judge a book by its cover, I guess?

Clockwork prince by Cassandra Clare. I found the three book series at a thrift store and got though the first book on the cruise and was working on the second.
vrek@programming.dev · 19 pts · 245d
Was it a good book series? Worth reading?
DominicG@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 245d
If you like fantasy, romance and a bit of mystery. It wasn't anything amazing but I found it for a few bucks at a thrift store and it's held my attention so far. Apparently there are a ton of books in the series.
SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 244d
Judging by the heft of that book, the author isn't hurting for inspiration.
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 245d

DarkSirrush@piefed.ca · 6 pts · 245d
Its a YA fantasy novel, written at the start of those getting more popular again. If you are looking for a series to just read for awhile, its not bad - the novels are all actually a decent length, and she has written several series within the same universe.
There is a lot of teenage angst in all of the books though.

An MKV could include a host of different audio stream codecs. You'd have to first find out which one(s) your files are using, with a tool like
mediainfo, for example.Some media players like mpv or mplayer variants usually come bundled with a bunch of typical codecs.
Could it be that it's a "proprietary" one like DTS or AC3 (alias Dolby Digital) which for that reason your distro does not ship out of the box?

I know this is Lemmy and Reddit is bad etc., but FYI when you get banned from one subreddit by its mods, it doesn't ban you from the entirety of Reddit. You could comment if you wanted.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 22 pts · 245d
Sure, but unlike Lemmy, the admins CAN ban you from all of Reddit, permanently, for little to no reason.
They can do it with ample reason too though, tbf š¤·
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 245d
You can absolutely get a total site ban with no reason.
All it takes is some offended moderator to cry to site admins, and more frequently than not its because you dared to not press puckered lips against the pumpkin colored donut hole of their false-god emperor.
I'd wager good money on the fact that they even run bot nets that mass report any undesirable comment, cause mass reports tend to provoke sitewide bans real fast. possibly automatically
DominicG@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 245d
I was temp banned a few times from the air force reddit and then I think they reported it to the admins because I had a perma ban. I tried making another account and it shortly got banned as well. It's definitely a site wide ban.
caradenada@feddit.cl · 6 pts · 244d
Ah, yeah, when you create another account to bypass a subreddit ban (or if they think you did it for that reasons), the admins suspend your account. It can be very hard to come back after that, because all future accounts could be flagged as trying to bypass the sanctions.
TBF, even if it isn't a perfect system, as an ex mod of a very active sub (a national sub), I prefer that the admins take actions.
DominicG@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 244d

37piecesof_flare@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 245d
I got banned for "encouraging violence" in the COMBATFOOTAGE subreddit for saying we should fly more drones around the Ukraine warzone to make the Russians waste more ammunition trying to shoot them down (the post was a video of some Russian moron emptying his magazine trying to take a Ukrainian drone down).
When I disputed it, claiming it's not encouraging any kind of violence (unless you count violence towards drones as violence?), I got a permanent site wide ban. After 15ish years on reddit, I called it. That site has sunk so low in the past decade - seems to get worse as time goes on. The censorship there is insane now.
SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 244d
The dissonance of "not allowed to advocate for violence", while at the same time, not only hosting combat footage, but also it being perfectly allowed to advocate for war or military operations, or talk about how "x country needs to shoot y enemy in this war" or similar, never ceases to amaze me. I literally don't get it. What is war if not exactly that?
But I guess, if it's state-sanctioned it's perfectly fine. Even if, either way, it still results in violence and people dying. Just sucks that you can't say that a war criminal deserves to die. Fucking double standards

So originally she was right next to me at a charging station that faced the wall. I sat next to her because I was waiting for her to get up and leave so i could sit and face the wall and charge my phone AND be more comfortable reading my book. She kinda put her head down on the table and started snoring so loudly, it was hilarious. I looked around a bit at a few people next to me and we were all kinda laughing at it. She eventually got up and sat down somewhere else and I didn't notice because I was too into my book at the time I guess.

You da man. Reddit was taken over by right wing nuts, they are banning people who are anti- Trump.

I mean I skim through it occasionally, holy shit, so much anti-immigration views. Was that always the case, or was it recent?
MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 243d
It used to be that conservative views were laughed out of all but a few fascist subreddits. I guess it's changed. I don't go there anymore.

So... you sound like a nice dude, so just so you know, there are people in the goth subculture that do not appreciate that joke (and its translations). For different reasons, but the majority find it fetishizing and sexist. I opened saying you look like a nice dude because I don't think that's your intention, or the intention of most here commenting, but that's how many goth people feel and... well, in case you really want to meet goth people, that might be actually causing the opposite effect (that is, your shirt driving them off).

I mean, I would love a goth girl with giant boobs, but boobs are boobs. I just want someone nice who knows how to communicate!

Why do dudes that fetishize """goth""" girls all look exactly like you would expect them to.
Aljernon@lemmy.today · 10 pts · 244d
And why do so many goth girls go head over heels for dudes that look like that
gmtom@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 244d
I mean none of the alternative people I know are into being fetishized like that. In fact they absolutely hate it.
Aljernon@lemmy.today · 0 pts · 243d
Having a preference isn't automatically fetishizing people and there's a world of difference between the two. I have a preference for big boobs but I didn't even consider pursuing my now ex until i overheard her having a heart to heart with a troubled friend I was very close too.
gmtom@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 243d
Yes I agree, but the whole "big toddy goth GF" meme is 100% fetishization
Aljernon@lemmy.today · -1 pts · 243d
So we're not allowed to be attracted to large breasted goth women? Are they condemned to live lonely lives since no ones allowed to be into them?
gmtom@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 243d
Bro stop being obtuse. Just have some common decency for fuck sake and Stop fetishizing people.
Aljernon@lemmy.today · 0 pts · 243d
If going for well read people with a sense of ethics that I can easily converse with is fetishizing people then it's alot more positive term than you make it sound. Maybe more people should fetishize each other.

This dude doesn't know a single goth girl
Aljernon@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 243d
Maybe not but I know a bass player who's style is basically that dude minus the t-shirt and he's been in a very happy relationship with a goth girl for years now.
urheber@discuss.tchncs.de · 0 pts · 242d
Well I think the t shirt says a lot about the personality. That's rather what i meant. Not the looks.

He's tolerant of humor, and appreciating an aesthetic. If you have a partner, are they tolerant of you being a humorless curmudgeon with the sensibilities of Grandpa Simpson?

Especially an airport.
People just have zero class traveling on airplanes these days. If that's your best attempt at looking respectable, then you failed.
And don't claim comfort. There are many ways of looking decent and comfortable at the same time.

Airlines treat us like trash, we can dress how we want. If I'm not in business class, there ain't no need.
mkhopper@lemmy.world · -4 pts · 245d
I won't argue that airlines treat people like cattle, but one should still make an attempt at looking respectable.
You're not doing it for the airline. You're doing it for those who have to look at you.

Iāve visited one country in Central America and had a layover in another, and I didnāt notice anyone doing any particular dressing up for flights. Just the same mix of casual tees and office casual shirts that I see in the US. Clean clothes = good to go. Maybe dressing up for a flight is a European thing?
