That's purposeful I think. The difference between men and women's glasses is fairly subtle, but I have definitely noticed that men's glasses lend a more masculine look to someone and women's glasses lend a more feminine look to someone.

Unfortunately it's become part of internet lore, I think it will last a long time as a reference or old in-joke. Luckily Lemmy is also giving us new ones, like beans or the 3-day no-poop challenge.

I wash my coat from time to time because I consider and have considered it to be part of my wardrobe. For my belt, I suppose I kinda just considered it as an accessory and it never occurred to me to clean it.

I have some clothes that fit well enough that I don't need a belt in order for them to stay up. I do use a belt for some of my clothes though.

I suppose in this case it would be going on a date to bitch to your date partner about people bitching their exes.

In most cases the creator doesn't hold the IP anymore, they signed it over to the platform. I don't think it's cool to pirate indy games when you can afford them because in that case the money is genuinely being withheld from the content creator, but in a lot of cases depriving Amazon of $5 for a TV show isn't going to impact anyone.

Agreed. I'm under no delusions, when I pirate media I'm stealing. I personally don't believe it's immoral to steal from super corporations, especially considering how much they steal from us, but some people disagree and with these types of moral arguments there isn't a clear right answer. Even still, I think the majority of pirates are willing to pay for software or media when the service is priced well and more convenient than piracy.

Indeed. I'm not a super big fan of Capitalism in general, but often times private company owners are at least sensible. Shareholders on the public market have a collective mentality of "MORE MONEY!!!" and some company models just aren't compatible with that, especially social media companies which are barely profitable to begin with.

Most of that traffic is probably lurkers and content consumers. Reddit will continue chugging along for a bit, but the loss of power users and mods is about guaranteed to wither the platform over time.

The answer is clearly yes, though it's a shame, I had hoped Lemmy would avoid spam posts for longer.

Most of that except for the last panel. I don't think any of us would fight for Reddit.

Yeah, this happens a lot, especially when I'm tired. Luckily, I usually leave cues for myself so that I remember what I was doing.
