Phone books were useful at one point, though less so for individuals.

Not saying you’re wrong but it reminded me of a moment when I was a kid. I was all of five years old when I got lost in rural Arizona. I was visiting my grandparents and my cousin and I went out looking for turtles after a monsoon the night before. I got separated from my older cousin and then lost. I wandered around for hours until I found the main road that led through a nearby small town. I managed to hitchhike to the local trading post where the clerk managed to find my grandparents phone number to let them know they had found me.

They were sometimes useful. Also, they were great for prank calls.

I guess if you can’t beat them it’s the next best thing.

My mom taught me growing up that you can never be too professional. Going by that advice, I think A & B at the same time is the clear answer.

I hear the headless body of Spiro Agnew is on the shortlist.

“Look, Laura Loomer is not affiliated with the Trump campaign. She said something about curry in the White House that I first read about this morning actually, because I knew that you would ask me about it…” [emphasis my own]

These guys are terrible liars. Between him and Trump, they sound like they have no idea what is going on.

Reddit.

This is correct. I work in bot detections. There are baseline checks for various browser automation used as bot frameworks like Puppeteer or Playwright. Then there is basic analysis of server side and client side fingerprints; meaning, do the fingerprints you claim make sense. There are other heuristics too and I imagine Cloudflare is monitoring movements that point to automation. All of this happens after you click. I personally prefer this over Google’s captcha which frequently doesn’t recognize me as a human but is easily bypassed by bots.

Good question. Like pizza, nigiri sushi, and a slice of pumpkin pie, this is toast.

I’m consistently proud of Lemmy because of comments like this. It might sound weird, but clearly pizza is great in a multitude of ways. Not everything needs an edgelord’s hot take.

I had no idea either and had to look it up. https://www.mashed.com/836025/the-nsfw-viral-kebab-photo-that-has-internet-sleuths-stumped/

Please forgive me because after a really shitty day at work I’m going to be direct and say “it’s not you.” I don’t know you or your work situation, but I have worked with so many people that felt this way. I feel this way sometimes too. I think a lot of people on Lemmy will say they feel this way at times. Hell I bet your coworkers feel this sometimes too.

Work sucks. It sucks more than ever too. Most companies are running on skeleton crews. Someone leaves, takes a sick day, or takes PTO, and the whole thing falls apart. You’re still expected to somehow optimize through all of this instead of the company hiring additional people.

Fuck that. You’re awesome because you show up and do your job through all the bullshit. I have worked with people that don’t always put up the best “metrics”, or whatever bullshit measurement your middle manager uses to make themselves look good, but those folks brought other soft skills to the team that made the day better.

You’re human. Vent. Rant. Be upset. Feel your feelings. We all know the current situation sucks and no one can blame you for needing to get it off your chest. More people need to speak up and point out how shitty it is because it’s just getting worse.

Anyway, if you want someone to vent with then DM me and we can complain together, maybe start a riot or something.

I’m not sure they have the power to arrest Satan incarnate.

Well, I guess I’m here for a good time, not a long time.

Pooping, honestly.

Sick embroidery!

What an absolute baller.

Also, on another note, I really love and appreciate your posts. They have introduced me to a lot of art and artists I wouldn’t have otherwise known about.

C is for conifers, more than five hundred kinds.

I know it’s a bit of a joke considering the post but I hope you’re ok. Just in case it’s not joke, if you need a hand getting to a therapist or just to vent I’m here to listen.
