My partner’s name is also the name of a very famous (mostly to boomers) multi-grammy award winner. He works in finance and he’s gotten the Michael Bolton experience many, many, multiple times. He says its always super awkward, with really bad jokes or people thinking they’re being clever with quips like Are you related or Do you have a new album coming out? hurr durr. But he’s also never experienced anyone under 50 noticing his name, so its slowly happening less often
Thats a great one, saw it again a few years ago and it holds up pretty well
Great movie, if anyone hasn’t seen it yet and your feeling a bit piratey: https://bflix.io/movie/harold-and-maude-7jy5j/1-1
Right, but there’s a lot of people who don’t (or won’t) think that in depth into it. Going by the gist of it, I often fit the criteria for all four: comment length, tone, context and history. Especially with the ‘ending your text with an emoji thing’ lol. I dunno I guess I’m just seeing a lot of frustration in my future of strangers defaulting into thinking I’m not real. I’ve got some childhood trauma with feeling like I don’t exist and I really don’t need more of that soooo… THANKS BOTS. 👍
Wow, alright. Today I learned my neurodivergent ways of communicating online make me sound like a bot. On one hand, booo. On the other, well I did always want to become a robot-human hybrid so… win?
Is it really only 10 to 20 percent? I was thinking closer to 30, but maybe thats my pessimism
how is that racist??? are you implying cops are a race lol
They really went out of their way to make this look more like a passport photo… why is he in a full suit and tie and not in a jumpsuit? Where is his placard with his name and info? Are they really allowing someone arrested to have a sharp object on hand (his pin)? I really hate the double standards.
⭐ <– my lemmy gold for you, excellent writeup
this reeks of “I am 12 and very smart” energy
you know young people are still getting long covid right?
“I think I’m smarter than the experts” energy in every single comment, lol
“yall should accept covid killing people cause I want the freedom to unmask” is quite the shit take
Elon can die mad, I’m still calling it Twitter
use random word generator, smash words together, make username
I’m going to keep on deadnaming Elon’s company until he stops deadnaming his trans kid, so it’ll probably always be twitter to me
you need a banana for scale
