One of the top reasons I finally went Linux and I don’t regret making the change one bit.

I don’t get why this is an unpopular opinion. I love Arby’s. And I’m extremely sad that the only one within a 50 mile radius closed during COVID and I can’t have Arby’s anymore.

People know the difference between fantasy and reality. Unless someone’s questionable anyway I don’t think pretending to be evil will change someone. People play violent video games and don’t tend to go out and shoot up their neighborhoods. Same thing.

Good for you for listening, and good luck.

I’m speaking as a woman who’s been hit on at work. We’re paid to be nice to the customers and too many customers take it as some sort of come-on. It’s uncomfortable to be put in that position and you should be thinking of her comfort at her place of business above your own desires if you’re really into her.

I personally don’t think this is a thing. Acting is pretending. I used to LARP an evil character but it was all just role-playing. Being able to use one’s imagination and walk in another’s shoes (evil or not) doesn’t change who you are as a person. It just makes you a good actor.

It’s not appropriate to ask a woman out when she’s working. Service staff get hit on all day and they’re just trying to work.

You can slip her your number if she shows up at your place of business and leave the ball in her court though. If she doesn’t contact you then there’s your answer.

If you post something public, people can access it. Corporations can access it. It’s one of the reasons I ditched all my social media that identified me directly. They can scrape my stuff, sure; but they won’t be able to link it to my actual name, face or existence in real life.

They can do it anyway, without threads being in the mix at all. Unfortunately the only way to be sure no corporation can scrape your data is to not be on the internet at all.

I don’t know what kind of person he really is, but I do know that there are tons of scammers that pretend to be him and are ripping off young folks. So your boys should be super careful around him and alleged giveaways.

We will be comrades in deletion.

I’ve noticed that some posts and comments are appearing in my scrubbed profile once subreddits that were private open back up. And just the posts/comments in those subreddits. I’m keeping my account open until the 30th so I can periodically check back and make sure there isn’t anything else that needs removing.

Are you using Power Delete Suite? You can overwrite comments with an edit before deleting them and it makes things a bit easier than doing it by hand.

I deleted my 7 year old 1 million karma account, at least all the comments and submissions. As subreddits open back up from private more keep trickling in and I’m having to run Power Delete Suite again to get them all. I am waiting until the 30th before full deletion just to make sure I got everything because I don’t want them to profit off my posts and replies in the future.

I will brace myself for the inevitable storm to come.

Speaking as an older person who’s been on the internet since it became a public thing, I don’t think it’s necessarily older folks’ fault. Most of the crappy interactions I had on there were with young “edgelord” male gamers.

I think it’s more nuanced than any one group.

Basically, if you build it they will come refers to the dross, who come in droves once something is a recognizeable “thing” and then we all have to abandon ship for greener pastures and more measured discourse.
