For which she released a country song, “9 to 5” that was extremely popular in the US.

Ok it’s clever

I was just making a joke, but no, the subtext of it was that everyone thinks you’re weird or otherwise off-putting, so they don’t engage with you.

But there’s plenty of reasons why they wouldn’t correct you. Maybe they thought it was funny, or hated the boss too, I don’t know!

And maybe don’t expect a farewell card!

But let’s also be fair, as in “I gave it to them for free out of convenience while getting rid of the stuff that I’d feel bad just throwing away”

*the general and president walk down the underground corridor

Sir, it’s time to reveal to you where all the real NASA money has been going for the past 60 years.

Wait is that-

Yes, alien tech recovered from Roswell.

Try to contact the ship that escaped. The one that was being built in silence under false pretenses by people who knew the planet was screwed, but convinced themselves it was better not to cause riots by informing everyone.

Small chance, but the billionaire investors might want to pick me up as a novelty story, or to make themselves feel like heroes

He hopped instead of his person

That’s our thought. They would have to only be keeping a secret to respect her wishes, not to hide family scandal or something.

My mom’s oldest sister left home when they were young. Like, very young. We didn’t get to meet her until after Grandpa died. All that we (the next generation) have learned is that she is from a previous marriage that also is not to be spoken of. This is not a prideful, secretive, traditional, or whatever type of family like this may sound. Very open and progressive. Except for this one thing. Just she, my mom, the other sisters will absolutely shut you down if you ask any questions.

This sounds like EXACTLY what happened.

That’s what I do

I couldn’t find any sources either. In 2022, they had issues that were attributed to aging technology and reluctance to go digital on their processes, but nothing to suggest Windows 3.1

The was a quote from a union rep that said their programs “looked like they were designed on Windows 95”.

“Return the hostages and we will kill you!”

“Don’t you mean OR we will kill you?”

“…No”

What I need right now supercedes anything I’ve ever said or anything on paper

I’m seeing a trendy way of doing the headline:

“Trump claims he never said lock her up. He did. Several times.”

Or some variation.

"All the times Trump said “Lock her up”

“Trump said “Lock her up”, now claims he never did”

Whine about my taxes going up again. Cry laugh at John Stewart. Go defend my school board

Either way, seatbelts should always be buckled while seated. The seatbelt sign turned off doesn’t negate that.

Well, it implies a polar shift in the sun

I think that Lemmy and Reddit are 100% social media.

Common/Wiki definition:

Social media are interactive technologies that facilitate the creation, sharing and aggregation of content, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression through virtual communities and networks.

Content aggregators aren’t discluded. Especially in this case where original content can and does exist.

The biggest difference, I believe, as to why Lemmy is social media and a typical forum is not, is the sorting. In a forum, the discussion is chronological as in a conversation. Here, more likes gets you more noticed. In content AND in discussion. Thus there is incentive. Whether you care about likes or not, it exist and so does incentive for social relevancy. It drives what you see.

Next becomes use case. You CAN sort the comments chronologically, but nobody does that. You CAN just read and never post, but people also do that on Instagram. Maybe you don’t care about likes and aren’t trying to get them. But they exist, and other users do care. If I didn’t care about Facebook likes, it’s still social media.

Whether you like it or not, everything is socially manipulated on this site.

Maybe you don’t feel the negative effects that are typically associated with social media, and that’s great. But some people here do and can get angry/upset/defensive about being down voted. Either way, those effects are not a part of the definition, although the connotation does exist. And the same could be said about any social media. Some people are more headstrong and less effected. This site is not nearly as predatory as the big ones and (depending on your communities) don’t always have the intent to drive your emotional response. But those communities and users do exist.

I only have Instagram installed because there’s a few people who send me (usually political) clips so we can chat about them when we hang out or text. I’m not following anyone I know. I have added a few of the creators. I’ve never once liked or reposted anything. So can I now say Instagram isn’t social media?

Perhaps subcategories could be created, but that’s besides the point. This site absolutely fits at least that one definition, which removes all connotation and defensive argument that can be had.

OP is here interacting with a network of users sharing ideas that are being sorted by popularity, then viewing other posts sorted by popularity. This is socially driven media.
