I’d have probably thought the same thing except a group of girls played/sang it during the high school talent show, so I already knew it was a real song.

FWIW, they did a kickass cover of it.

Unrelated to the thread, but love your username (took me a minute to get it)

Also, yeah, love the “good intentions until proven otherwise” attitude. Two years here have nearly beaten that out of me (despite me knowing better).

I’m the dev of Tesseract.

New accounts have badges that show their age if they’re between 0 and 30 days old (among other tricks up my sleeve)

LOL, please tell me there’s a “let’s play” of that

Gracias!

I didn’t say I had a problem with any of that. But spinning up a burner, posting, and deleting everything afterward takes other people’s conversations with it (and those don’t currently come up in search results because the post is deleted). Granted that’s a platform limitation, but it is what it is. Posting from various alts but leaving things intact…go for it.

Imagine being a legit new user and being shunned because your account is not 30 days old.

That’s part of my complaint against the ones doing that “hit it and quit it” bullshit; it makes people wary of interacting with new accounts.

Having had to manually white-balance the cameras in broadcast journalism classes in college, I love this question. Wish I knew the answer, but commenting so I will remember to check back in.

Often, they just spin up a disposable account, post, and delete the whole account w/content after they’re done. It’s annoying AF and incredibly selfish. For a while, it was the same person doing it, though not sure if that’s still the case.

Regardless, those people have ruined things for everyone (especially legit new users) and I will not engage with accounts newer than 30 days. Lemm.ee evacuation notwithstanding, I kinda wish other people took a similar stance and maybe these people will knock that off.

Assuming it’s this (LAPQO71A) …

I worked at a Walmart in college, so…yes.

I guess my favorite one (meaning it was more funny than aggravating) was this lady trying to return a Nintendo Wii. She said it was broken and wanted to exchange it (so far, so good). She said she lost the receipt (later claiming it was a gift), but for an exchange, that’s usually not an issue (we record the serial numbers for things like video game consoles, computers, etc and those are tied to the transaction which lets us pull up the sale info).

So, we scan the serial number, and it’s not in our system. This could mean one of two things:

1. It’s stolen
2. It didn’t come from our store

So, to rule out #1, we sent the serial number to the loss prevention people to see if it was on their report. (It wasn’t.)

But we didn’t even have to wait for them to respond because I took a look at the box, and it clearly came from GameStop (had their stickers on the opposite side).

So I tell her that this console wasn’t purchased here, and she needs to take it back to Game Stop for service.

She did not like that. At all.

She demanded the manger, who, thankfully, was nearby. Manager took one look at her, got on the radio, and seconds later all three loss-prevention people came out of their little security room and escorted her out (with her yelling obscenities / threatening lawsuits the whole way).

Apparently she was a frequent-flier who had already been banned from the store (and neighboring stores) for return fraud.

Both of them seem to be the type that absolutely need therapy but staunchly refuse to admit it let alone seek it.

For sure!

I can’t stand when people throw that argument around. There’s a huge difference between ignoring reality (aka ‘sticking your head in the sand’) and not wanting to be flooded with endless coverage of the same topic/assholes; especially if it’s causing unwanted stress.

Like, I am an adult with object permanence; I know things continue to exist and happen even if I need to look away for a while lol.

No clue. I’ve tried to remain largely detached and treat it like watching a train wreck.

Unfortunately, I live right smack dab in the middle of all this, so I need some of it in my feed to remain informed. So I just filter it out by default and catch up on the broad strokes later. No longer having my front page be a deluge of coverage of two raging assholes seems to be helping my mental health lol.

For me, if I can reach it, it’s “here”. If I can’t reach it without moving, it’s “there”.

Thanks! For me and my instance it seems.

Thanks! Had to wait until my cake day hit my local timezone to reply lol.

and apparently custom thumbnails do not work good on lemmy either

Still??!

I know they worked in 0.19.7 and federated, but broke at least as of 0.19.9. I thought those were fixed in 0.19.11. Ugh.

Lol, yeah. I just hide/filter the political memes communities or stick to “Subscribed” feed. Unfortunately, can’t really detect keywords in image posts unless it’s in the title or alt text :(
