Idk that kinda look like a wooosh

Lol clearly a joke, too on the nose. But doesn't seem too far from reality for someone to think this.

Dude, you need to monetize this and turn it into a side hustle.

It concerns me that we live in a world where so many people have lost the ability to tell the difference between sarcasm and genuine conversation...

I'm not blaming them. The firehose of information we have to deal with just to take part in society doesn't care what's coming out, it just cares that people consume it.

I really hope we figure this shit out before we kill ourselves. I grew up believing we all live in a better world than this. I want that back before I die.

Edit: The very next meme I saw after posting this reply:

Fuck me, man.

Tech bros are now what finance bros were in the 80s: people who aren't actually that smart, but they study something that is fashionable recently so they're constantly assured of their superiority in all spaces, not just their own. And just like finance bros in the 80s they think that not only are they capable of solving every problem without regard to their all of expertise, they seem to think they've developed a framework that has solved problem-solving in the general case.

The last part took me a minute but that is really the hallmark of any commercial software from the last 15 years. They all think they've solved your problem that they've never heard of.

You're just not thinking in terms of value

Has become

You're just not thinking in terms of state

There's some truth there, it's hard to measure the value of something if it doesn't exist. Might as well just build it and see!

This is probably satire

[-] TheMightyBoned@beehaw.org 11 points 1 year ago

This has to be a sarcastic tweet, right???

As a tangent, having a specific idea to talk about, or a theme for starting hang out convos doesn't sound too bad as an idea

I reworded this like 6 times to try to say it in a non-douchey way but failed.

You're describing a salon. Which is a term for having a gathering of interesting people in order to have a conversation loosely (or not) around a topic or theme.

Didn't think this was douchey. I genuinely didn't know this and appreciate you sharing it

[-] RustyEarthfire@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's amazing how many people in my city are interested in having deep discussions about hair.

Hey, do you wanna appear on my podcast about icebergs? It only has a few listeners - the polar bears. But you tell me if I can break the ice.

[-] FlickOfTheBean@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sounds like an ice breaker to me. Use that as a keyword of you're interested in finding some.

[-] greendakota99@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a significant amount of work…

smartphone era is trying to make everything into an app.
