I’m sorry mate, I think I’m just misunderstanding what you’re saying. To me, the point is what actually happened in this situation.
I see you’ve mentioned sexual assault and harassment a lot in these comments - I don’t see any reference to that in this article but it’s hardly an article really is it, is there some more context that I’m missing from somewhere else?
Haha, sorry yeah it was a bit much
In multiple threads you’ve been really focused on sexual assault and harassment happening but I don’t see where in the article it says he was doing that? I’m sorry if I’m completely missing something
Was he recording up her dress? Looks like she’s wearing jeans to me, personally
“well you don’t have to get defensive about it… Is YOUR whole personality asking people if their whole personality is asking other people if it’s their whole personality to ask people if travelling is their whole personality?”
shitting
Wait, so your sibling went to Thailand in a bungalow paid for by your dad, and dated a prostitute who was scamming your sibling? Or scamming other people?
Right? It’s so hostile 😂
“What else?” is such a hostile way to engage in small talk. Yeah okay so somebody responded with a bit of a vague answer, but “tell me about yourself” is hardly a specific question.
This is just normal small talk openers; they don’t really get you anywhere, but they open a dialogue and you can both work to keep the conversation in the air from there.
For the asker in this situation, I would have tried following up by asking “oh cool, where did you go?”, which might have advanced the conversation and potentially led to a more specific conversation about one particular place or experience.
If I was answering this question, I’d struggle. I’d probably try to avoid answering with my job, so I’d probably pause (which is totally allowed in conversation), and honestly I think I’d ask what they wanted to know - because I find the question too vague. If I absolutely HAD to answer, though, it depends on a couple of bits of context. Firstly, who is asking? What’s my relationship to them? Secondly, where are we?
If they’re somebody I’ve just met at a pub, I’d give a wider answer that opens up responses, like “well, I’m big into music - I play a lot of guitar and bass, and I’m actually on the lookout for some new artists to check out – are you listening to anything this week?”
I know it’s a vague answer and might even come off deflective, but it’s a hard question to answer and really I want to move off of speaking in vagueries as soon as possible when I’m talking to people because I find it boring.
I’m curious about and interested in people, and don’t find it hard to be invested in things people tell me, but when you stick on the very very surface level and non-specific details like “I like music” or “I like food” or “I like travelling”, it’s sort of difficult to find anything to latch on to without digging deeper to specifics.
Not that I’m gifted socially, I’m not saying that (and in actuality I find socialising pretty nerve-wracking and uncomfortable a lot of the time, you might be able to tell lol), I’m just thinking through what I would do and have done in these situations. Also yes yes this comic is a joke obviously etc., this is more of a response to the comments.
Crazy that Soundgarden wrote a whole song about him
Just a heads up for anybody seeing this: not only is this disinformation program obviously a bad idea that will serve only to muddy the waters, but this guy loves AI and is presumably using it to build the whole thing. What a fucking mess.
Keep Lemmy Weird ✊
They say in the post that the neighbour was doing this in 2023 too, I had the same deja vu as you - very rough to see that it’s still ongoing!
Y’all 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
But also Cloudflare confirmed an issue: 
Hahaha uh oh!
Oh no but I was just about to join
I love the way companies simply refuse to not track us. You guys seen those cookie popups that are like “accept and continue” or “reject and pay” where you have to actually pay to reject cookies? I cannot believe that’s legal at all. Total scumbags.
The judge is currently facing articles of impeachment, just in case anybody was wondering if he was up for sale or not.
Interesting that the idea social media is dead comes from people preferring to interact with strangers’ content than with their actual friends, combined with people actually posting less personal stuff themselves. I didn’t realise that was a thing! Very weird.
What’s going on with the Emperor’s wristwatch? And his hand?
That’s fuckin awesome. Turning up to work with an unreliable tool and asking people (who have better things to do) to find stuff that the tool might be able to fix.
Sometimes, I feel like a lobotomy is a prerequisite to getting into management. I don’t know what happens to some people as soon as they step up into that layer of work. It’s wild lol
You and I certainly pronounce either “consume” or “womb” very differently if those words rhyme for you 😂 where are you from, out of curiosity? No judgement, just curious as I’m not sure I’ve ever heard an accent where those words rhyme!
