I might take up diving 🤔

Sheesh what a waste 😮‍💨

Generic ez cheese

Well that’s one thing you don’t learn about in boating school

OOoh I love the bottom left and middle right

Ope, ya beat me to it lol that’s what I’m using also

Yeah I think it’s pretty wack. If I search doordash then Uber eats will be the first result or if I search Uber eats then doordash will be the first result lol the ads are getting so extreme it pretty much evens out in the end and it’s all completely pointless aside from making everything more annoying for the user

I don’t think it will make enough of an impact for Alphabet to actually give a shit but I agree they’re getting out of control with the ads and I think a handful of people will start looking for alternatives. I recently switched from Google to Kagi and I set up Firefox to redirect all YouTube links to Piped lol I think a lot of people are already trying to find alternatives to Google products due to general enshittification but they’re so big I don’t really see it hurting them in any significant way. I would love to see something actually compete with YouTube though tbh. I personally try to use non Google alternatives whenever possible these days

That’s a good point actually

My brain 🫤

I worked in sales at a honda dealership for about six months. On slow days we had to sit there making cold calls and blasting out texts and emails and I remember the first week after training they gave me like 1600 “dormant leads” which were essentially people who were rejected from finance companies the last time they were at the dealership or people who already flipped out about getting all the calls and texts and literally even people who unsubscribed from all communications or were on the national do not call list. Hundreds of previous employees were on the dormant lists too just so the new guys had people to practice on. Car dealerships are so greasy

This line from Uncle John’s Band by Grateful Dead is really simple and maybe kinda cheesy but it’s given me motivation and kept me in check a few times:

Well the first days are the hardest days, don’t you worry anymore. 'Cause when life looks like easy street there is danger at your door

Im pretty sure someone made the wayland.social mastodon instance for that exact purpose lol

For android definitely moshidon! Stable version is material you and has a bunch of themes and extra features. Nightly version is updated frequently. Completely free and donation funded, it’s the gold standard for mastodon apps imo

Actually I’m not sure, I know you can follow them on mastodon

Awesome, will do!

Aw dang that makes sense. Like when you migrate servers on mastodon you can’t import posts. Well at any rate it will be cool to see how it unfolds.

Glad to hear this! I had them blocked already

Have to work 10 hours today but business is usually pretty dead on Thursdays and I just got Borderlands 3 on the ol’ Switch last night so it should be an okay day 😌

I think you look great! I’ve seen a few comments that say this already, but don’t overthink it. Hope the interview goes well!
