Thanks! Awesome

All good mate, we can fight another day! :D

Well I haven’t noticed you until now, no offense. This doesn’t mean we’ve never interacted before, it just means I don’t have a mental note for your profile. There are users on Lemmy I can mention off the top of my head but you wouldn’t be in the list; you also wouldn’t be in the “ahh I remember you now” list either.

Yay thanks

Yaaaasssss

Lol it’s really silly I love it just as much as she loves the venetian blinds

Where’s this image from? I’m getting 60s-to-80s book cover vibes, please don’t tell me it’s ai

Wild guess here because I don’t know anything about vintage cars or drive in trays or america in the 60s. But could it be that this tray is designed to sit on the inside of a car, on the passenger side, so that someone in the driver’s seat can use it? This would be convenient in bad weather but totally useless if you do have an extra passenger with you.

Thanks for saving me a click

I don’t think you would notice just walking down the street. Try being in an environment where you actually deal with people consistently over time, such as a classroom, an office, or a place where you volunteer.

It’s very hard to explain. I’m not American but I’ve migrated to Australia. What you will find is a culture that is probably much more polite and considerate of others than American culture, and also, the culture here doesn’t appreciate individuality much. I’m painting this with broad generalizations so of course this will differ from person to person, but generally, this is my assessment.

Individuality isn’t overtly shunned, people will tell you to be you, but subconsciously you will find the real attitude is that people who stand out are also set apart, semi ostracized. It takes loads of charisma to stand out in a positive light here. This is the land of the tall poppy syndrome. Difficult to put in words, I would bet money you won’t notice upon your arrival, you’d be like “nah man that mothra dude on lemmy was talking shit, people here are super friendly” and then after a year or two you’ll see the pattern. It’s very subtle but very much there.

AI usage is reduced to nearly zero, it’s now mostly a niche tool used only in specialized fields probably for research. No LLM girlfriend apps or book authors. No more visual slop. People may still use it occasionally but won’t take everything at face value.

Cars would be smaller. More buttons less screens. You truly own what you purchase, and that also goes for any electronics and software. Software with subscription models practically disappear. Fast food chains either increase their food quality or disappear too. They would still shrink no matter what.

Rent would become heavily regulated, and reduced. You would see an increase in work from home too, and more flexibility with people’s schedules.

I don’t know about the “bad morals and habits”. Been thinking but can’t come around many. I guess you would see a lot less sports, but I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. Maybe people become more isolated and shut in? But also if they’re now sharing more interests maybe that’s not the case.

‘thank mr skeltal’ on this picture

I FEEL PERSONALLY ATTACKED IMMA REPORT THIS POST AS SOON AS I FINISH LAMENTING WHAT I DID IN 2013

Not a rehearsal for a Bollywood movie about war?

don’t worry no amount of money could ever fix me 😞

When any fanatic connects whatever with their preferred framework, I guess

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman

Concept was great but I really didn’t like how the story developed past book 1. I know the series has its fans, but it’s a big nope for me.

What’s going on in the blue quarter? If you were to show me that picture alone I wouldn’t have recognized him.

Gotta love some good asado though, I guess I’m centrist according to this chart
