I have, but we haven’t been able to find any particular issues with me that would be affecting that. Some of the possible causes seem to be environmental, like capitalism, problematic majority demographics, certain other people being jerks, and just bad luck.

I didn’t mean in the sense of having their approval for your own peace of mind. I meant them consenting to work with you in order for you to achieve an objective.

I mean a lot of my problems can be linked to paternal neglect and derision and Pedro is right there so…

Fool. In time, I shall shed this mortal coil and be absorbed and manifest into more mushrooms than you can imagine.

Yes, the template is Al generated. No, i didn’t find any better one. No, i didn’t search for long because i’m lazy. Please just accept my gratitude.

Took me like 15 seconds

For one of those companies, that was probably true. They had been increasingly profitable for all ~15 years they had been open, most of the white-collar employees were vocally pro-Trump, and then there was chitchat over how tariffs are making it difficult to produce our goods (we had used aluminum and a lot of other imported materials), and I doubt half of them ever put two and two together.

“You’re certainly qualified for this job and we’d love to have you. Welcome aboard!”

Some time later:

“Sorry, we can’t afford to pay our employees to continue doing their jobs so we’re going to have to let you go”

This has happened twice to me within the past year.

I was asking since I’ve seen more egregious cases of people rewriting what they’ve said. Your change is relatively mild and you were open about it, so I wasn’t sweating it for this case.

Is there a way to see an archive of posts/comments before each edit?

It’s impossible these days to find someone qualified to use Google image search and/or click and drag images and text on a blank workspace and/or use established tools such as imgflip or kapwing

You could have just said Lorem ipsum and it would have made as much sense

Normalize not passing on generational trauma

Given how hypercommercialized and devoid of personal artistry the throwaway modern music industry is, if something is known as a hit then I don’t see it being something good to my tastes. Even the couple of former megastars which have returned to the scene with hits seem to have been forgotten about shortly after their release (ex. The Beatles’ “Now and Then”, Billy Joel’s “Turn the Lights Back On”). There will be some pop songs that may stick around for a while out of novelty rather than quality, whether they’re simply quirky (ex. “Gangnam Style”, “Turn Down For What”, “I Glued My Balls to My Butthole Again”), they became associated with a huge fad (ex. “Friday”, “Harlem Shake”), or they prominently featured in a musical or movie (ex. The Hamilton Soundtrack, songs from a Disney movie). “Somebody I Used to Know” is the closest thing to an exception that I can think of, but that’s also a bit quirky. Does anything by Greta van Fleet count as a hit with a chance for longevity?

Given Taylor Swift’s relatively unique situation of having a massive cult of personality and now having control over her own catalog and releases, she has potential to output exceptions to the hypercommercialized rule but I’m not familiar with her discography beyond the hits that I hear played in public spaces.

It indicates he has less money for, and less need for, security

Sigh… You’re being difficultly obdurate and pedantic. Let’s say “No overtly and/or directly political memes” then.

There are suitable subforums for most of those, but they’re typically bothersome in a general meme page for both audiences and mods

I’m finding no matches for this image or some text on it, so it seems like you made this meme and posted it onto a forum which has only a couple of those criteria as its actual rules. Is this just bad faith smear campaigning to stir shit against this community and/or its mods?

Rule 3 is also the only one of these rules that is the slightest bit dubious. The rest are justifiable for most audiences and mod teams, assuming there’d be a reasonable time limit to when reposting would be permissible.

I understood that much. Take it up with shneancy@lemmy.world for what their interpretation requires.

The set dressing either should have been communicated clearer to not be confusing or wholly omitted.

“call” is a transitive verb.

“from” is a preposition.

Words have meaning. Grammar has a purpose. The joke-teller is necessarily within the store making a call to an unspecified “her” for unspecified reasons and we know this via the rare skill known as reading. Just because a vocal plurality of people interpret a Rorschach inkblot test or a Jackson Pollock painting as a specific message, that does not make those pieces mean anything, let alone any specific one thing or analogous things.

Ok, then a person who uses “her” as a pronoun rather than exclusively a woman.

All other criteria are essential to meet the apparent meaning of the joke.
