I've always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn't even able to comment on a post about me.

For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.

For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!

Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

I hate this "culture" (?) of recording/photographing strangers and posting them online, but on the other hand this is sooo funny. I'm sorry it happened to you lmao.

You know, I think if I was in this situation I would just wear the shirt inside out

[–] DominicG@lemmy.world 108 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I honestly didn't think about that. But I also didn't think it was that big of a deal either.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 87 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not a big deal. It's silly and hilarious. Own it 😁

[–] DominicG@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

Oh yeah, I love it lol.

After a few weeks it got so out of hand that you actually had to change shirts!

[–] DominicG@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Actually, i'm like Doug Funny, I only have one outfit...

So Reddit banned you and is now profiting having your picture on their homepage? I would do a takedown request.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 31 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

There's no expectation of privacy in public places.

There's no expectation of fairness in DMCA requests.

LPT. When being forced to wear shirts with questionable graphics, turn them inside out.

Not 100% guaranteed but better than ending up on Reddit.

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 42 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or just don't give a fuck.

Story time: I had to give a presentation on a group project at university. I was wearing a shirt with a fist silhouette on it, which you could have mistaken as a symbol of a political movement, had there not been the text "nothing says I love you quite like fisting". Over lunch I had to go home, ~6km, on a bicycle, in the summer, on short notice, because of the plumber being in the house. So I was sweating like fuck and changed shirts. For some reason our team got summoned up to the front again later and my shirt read "I have 5 stars on youporn" with five stars over it. This was in front of 5 professors, ~10 post docs and university employees and ~80 students. On my way out from the cafeteria I greeted the hot blonde from engineering, who looked like she could be an adult content actress, and she laughed the cutest snort-laugh in a shockingly deep voice I've ever heard. Most of the profs "loved" me by the way; three of them competed over getting me into their projects and supervising my master thesis.

Not the complement you think it is.

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It wasn't really meant as a compliment. She usually looked like she was coming straight from the set of a porn movie. But I think, like me, she wasn't giving a fuck either. She was good at what she did and the right hand of the head of the engineering faculty. Don't judge a book by its cover, I guess?

Clockwork prince by Cassandra Clare. I found the three book series at a thrift store and got though the first book on the cruise and was working on the second.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 20 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Was it a good book series? Worth reading?

[–] DominicG@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you like fantasy, romance and a bit of mystery. It wasn't anything amazing but I found it for a few bucks at a thrift store and it's held my attention so far. Apparently there are a ton of books in the series.

I mean who doesn't want a big tiddy goth gf?

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Personally, I'm leaning towards the small tiddied goth gf. Big tiddies are impractical on many levels.

Trending on reddit, comes on Lemmy to talk about it. I love it!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (50 dollars a load)

Jesus fuck. What company did you cruise with? I've worked fot NCL and have been on a Princess cruise; both offered laundry services free.

[–] DominicG@lemmy.world 37 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It was virgin voyages. I just looked it up and it was actually 30, but still.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Hell, I'm annoyed that my apartment's laundry service is like video game MTX where you need credits for the machine. The machines are like 2 and a half bucks each, but you can only buy a minimum of $10 worth of credits which gets me 2 loads, and then leaves some credits left over that I can't use or get refunded.

I know this is Lemmy and Reddit is bad etc., but FYI when you get banned from one subreddit by its mods, it doesn't ban you from the entirety of Reddit. You could comment if you wanted.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

when you get banned from one subreddit by its mods, it doesn't ban you from the entirety of Reddit.

Sure, but unlike Lemmy, the admins CAN ban you from all of Reddit, permanently, for little to no reason.

They can do it with ample reason too though, tbf 🤷

I was temp banned a few times from the air force reddit and then I think they reported it to the admins because I had a perma ban. I tried making another account and it shortly got banned as well. It's definitely a site wide ban.

How about that lady sleeping in front of you though?

[–] DominicG@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

So originally she was right next to me at a charging station that faced the wall. I sat next to her because I was waiting for her to get up and leave so i could sit and face the wall and charge my phone AND be more comfortable reading my book. She kinda put her head down on the table and started snoring so loudly, it was hilarious. I looked around a bit at a few people next to me and we were all kinda laughing at it. She eventually got up and sat down somewhere else and I didn't notice because I was too into my book at the time I guess.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's crazy how rare it is to see someone reading a book while waiting nowadays. Good on you.
