You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on you every minute of every day.

Cause I got married. It’s not that different from being single.
Why have users waste time playing games when they can waste time watching ads instead

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most moving experience you've ever had?
16·13 days agoThere was this guy who started college when I was chairman of the study association for IT. He was a bit of a geek even by IT standards, but all in all okay guy who brought a lot of enthusiasm.
He was never really understood by his surroundings, had a tough childhood with some trauma. Went into special needs schools and working his way up to study IT at a good school. He was like 26 when he started, the more usual age being 18 or even 17.
He was of course always welcome at our study association and everyone accepted him for who he was. He ended up also doing board work for the study association.
Couple years later, I’d already graduated, we met at a general meeting for the association and afterwards he took me apart to say that he’d graduated. He said that it was because of me giving a speech to all first-years that he’d felt more or less at home, felt confident enough to join the association, found friends and that that helped him get his diploma. He said it was because of me he got where he was.
I told him it was not because of me. He got to college before even meeting me. I was just there along the way to nudge him, unknowingly, towards a group of positive people who were always happy to help.
He’d had tears in his eyes and I have him a quick hug. I then told him this study association did a lot of good for me too. Sometimes all you need to do is step into something to generate great change in your life.
DWORD is as obvious to me as all the ones containing unicode strings.

Television@piefed.social•‘The Rookie’ and ‘Will Trent’ Renewed at ABCEnglish
9·17 days agoI was really into the Rookie for the first two or three seasons but this last season it’s become a bit of a chore to keep watching. It used to be a believable cop show but it’s turned into a Hollywood bullet and fire fest where they are just picking up these super extreme crimes even though they are just simple streetcops.
And although it was sort of refreshing to see people being so understanding of each other and communicating so well, it’s become a bit over the top and it just irks me now.
I was sort of hoping they’d slap a bow on it and end it after this season but it looks like Hawley is hell-bent on running this into the ground like Castle.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Perhaps the only appropriate use of AI
6·20 days agoI asked it for a realistic bid for a house, I sent the same text 3 as with 3 different numbers I was thinking of and it told me pretty much the same thing for all of them. I then called it out about it and only then did I receive a decent answer.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How common is it for people in your social circle of relative/friends to own their homes? (What country btw?)
6·23 days agoNetherlands, all of us also. Two of them solo, one of which bought it like 3 years ago. Me and my wife bought ours in 23, we’re in the market currently.
All of us have hbo level jobs, one of us used to be entrepreneur. Sold his company. The guys all work in IT.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I went to a grocery store in the morning that I normally go to at night and they had dimmed lights, soft music, as well as no sounds coming from the cash registers
1·5 months agoIt’s so weird that these days you have to almost bring a note from your doctor if you don’t want a constant barrage of sensory overload


At some point all the fun stuff from a new relationship dies down and most of it just turns into a drag. The deepest conversations you’ll have are about what to eat or whether you’ll be home at a regular time.
I know this is not the case in all marriages but most of them that end in divorce are merely because it started as something fun, marriage seemed the next logical step and then you’re sort of locked into it, longing back to the excitement of getting to know each other. Being single is pretty much like that unless you never meet new people you have a fun couple of weeks with before never seeing each other again.
