Have we checked to make sure she's not a Supe yet?

When I was younger, like 15/16, I was working a job in a stone quarry during my spring break. Long days, hot sun but all cash and made decent money.

One of my neighbors whom I would briefly speak to all the time wanted to borrow some money. I think it was $400 or something. At that age, I wanted to help out and I wanted seem cool, so I lent it. He asked for a bit more and more and eventually it ended up to about $1100. My neighbor said their paycheck was coming 'next week' and could easily pay me back.

Next week never came. I followed up with the neighbor and they said something happened to their paycheck but the money was coming. He then said a showing of good faith, he'd give me his payslip as proof and that I needed to get it back to him so I he cash he check. Stupid me knew something to was up but because I was naiive and impressionable, I told him I trusted him and I'll await the money.

I managed to get his number and I called to follow up again, but he had some girl answer the phone and when I asked to speak to him, she said, "Oh he's getting cookies right now..."

A week later the phone was disconnected and then I didn't see him for a while. I then moved out of the neighborhood.

Eventually I saw him a few years later and mentioned about the money that he owed me but he 'wasn't sure what I was talking about'. I long since before then realized the money was gone. Expensive lesson but that's a story of how I got scammed.

Well then maybe don't charge me 3 months' rent for one?

When did the platform of being President of the United States of America become the ability to pardon individuals?

It's The Emperor's New Clothes all over again, but instead of being naked, it's dementia.

But why is her neck so long?

I pressed the spoiler button in Sync which gave me arrows and exclamation marks like >!this!< but supposedly that's not the correct Lemmy way? Take a look at https://lemmy.world/post/498805?scrollToComments=true

Is that correct or ?

ChatGPT has gotten dumb. I used to have to code check it's answer every few responses. Now it's every response. It wrote me an if/else statement the other day where if and else had the same outcome.

It took off really fast and all looked good until it tipped.

I'm coming from Connect and there's a way to block communities or even entire instances directly from seeing it on the Everything page. When the feed reloads it removes either from your view.

Is there something like this in Sync? I know in Sync for Reddit, could filter out posts and subreddits by keyword, but where Lemmy is so much more vast than this, it would be nice to be able to quickly remove things you are not interested in as you go.

Anyone know how this can be done or is this a feature request?

Can the platform just die already so I can stop reading about a man-child's shitty business decisions? Thanks, management.

It'd be a cool Easter Egg if you stayed on the welcome screen long enough that it would transition to this quickly and then transition back.

Probably not a priority for the first release, but it would be cool in a future release.

It's like a fresh break-up. I hate reddit. Reddit is so stupid. I swear I'm totally over reddit. You haven't seen reddit by any chance, have you? I mean, I totally don't care but how is reddit doing?
