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.

Peak airport energy: minding your business, reading a book, accidentally becoming internet famous 😅
Trending on reddit, comes on Lemmy to talk about it. I love it!
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.
It’s absolutely invasive and (almost always, even though people think they could remedy this with a simple sign) against the law in Europe.
You know, I think if I was in this situation I would just wear the shirt inside out
I honestly didn’t think about that. But I also didn’t think it was that big of a deal either.
It’s not a big deal. It’s silly and hilarious. Own it 😁
Oh yeah, I love it lol.
yes! i regularly wear a few of my shirts inside out because i dont like the designs on them.
doesn’t the print irritate your skin?
Donate them to charity? Get new ones at the thrift store?
Maybe they bought them at the thrift store or received them from charity, that’s why they didn’t like the design.
Don’t assume everyone just has disposable income to throw out perfectly good items.
Jesus, I hate the internet sometimes.
All good until you chafe your nipples.
ThatsThePoint.jpg
The point is to chafe your nipples?
To each their own I guess.
you could’ve just worn it inside out….
that said, me too buddy… except i just want a little tiddy goth gf….
honestly tiddy size doesn’t matter to me much, i feel like there’s too much focus big tiddy goth gf’s and the rest of the goth gf world is being ignored….
#allGothGFsAreAwesomeWhat I said to my ex (paraphrasing) “Yeah don’t get me wrong, I love big titties, but I’m more interested in the girl they’re attached to”
A romantic
so romantic! :)
Where’s the love for a big booty punk girlfriend, smdh.
You might want to look up “nalgótica” 😉. The reddit post taught me that term.
Oh hell yeah
Absolutely agree
I want a big booty Japanese girlfriend. Please, if there’s a God send a Japanese girl with a phat ass my way.
just go to japan, that’s where most japanese girls are
Alright, I’ll go as soon as I graduate.
You can have a big tiddy gf, or a goth gf but asking for both at once is being greedy.
Live a little!
Did you get approached by any big tiddy goth girls?
They swarmed me.
After a few weeks it got so out of hand that you actually had to change shirts!
Actually, i’m like Doug Funny, I only have one outfit…
do you have any intention on dating one? i think you have the courage and confidence to do so. you got this, dominic. we believe in you. seriously!
So Reddit banned you and is now profiting having your picture on their homepage? I would do a takedown request.
There’s no expectation of privacy in public places.
There’s no expectation of fairness in DMCA requests.
Greetings, Warner brothers lawyer.
That’s an opinion. I have portretrecht, you can’t just take pictures of me (or anyone) and post them.
Do you honestly not see the difference between sitting in a busy airport where a lot of people can see you but don’t really pay attention to you, as opposed to being featured on one of the largest websites as a top post specifically to discuss you?
expectation of privacy is American law
And Reddit is headquartered in America.
this is art lol
I’ll have what she’s having
A nap?
Hell yeah
Why in the hell does this remind me of “oof size: large”
Love how this is the part the camera decided to focus on. I actually thought that this was edited in, not sure what it supposed to have told me though.
I mean who doesn’t want a big tiddy goth gf?
Personally, I’m leaning towards the small tiddied goth gf. Big tiddies are impractical on many levels.
I’m a firm supporter of all goth girls of all body types, all of the time.
Vote for me for US President, I literally could not do any worse.
You have a platform that I could get behind
Me. I want two.
LPT. When being forced to wear shirts with questionable graphics, turn them inside out.
Not 100% guaranteed but better than ending up on Reddit.
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.
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?
She could replace my right hand any day.
Yeah I didn’t think about that.
Thats funny In Brazil we say “gótica rabuda”, that means goth with a big ass
Eu gosto muito uma gótica rabuda rsrsrs
have you talked to any goth lady after that, and do you have any intention on dating one? i think you have the courage and confidence to do so. you got this, dominic. we believe in you. seriously!
Im moving back home to ohio soon so im trying not to fall in love with anyone until then.
i really hope there are goth ladies in ohio (and a lot of people here can agree that there are). seriously!
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Sick shirt. Welcome to Lemmy! Great place to talk about political stuff! And also never ever see anything but politics god I’m so tired of seeing trumps face…
Anyway, welcome to the fediverse, did I mention I use linux?
beans arch unix socks corn 3 days cant shit
3 days can’t shit is a deep cut. I wonder how many on Lemmy even remember that.
Edit: also read that in the fairly odd parents intro song
3 days can’t shit was like RIGHT after the API exodus and was an incredible thing to experience right away
It really was great. Im going to have to look at those posts again and reminisce.
Another good one (though more personal) was everyone dogging on me with the “how do you flush this” posts. Good times.
If you’re sick of politics, make your own subscription list (on lemmy) or feed (on piefed) without politics. e.g.:
I mean yeah I could do that, but they keep me up to date with the current madness. Which i think is important, even if I hate it.
Good information though thanks, I might look into that for an alt.
Yeah it’s good to take a break from the politics tho. Did I say good? I mean necessary.
For real. Some days i just set my phone down and not touch it just so I don’t see anything.
I don’t use Arch btw
Me either. Im currently moving from Kubuntu to MX Linux, we’ll see how that goes.
I’ve tried Lubuntu with limited success and now it’s Zorin.
Other than not being able to install whatever missing sound codex makes my Fallout TV show MKVs silent yet, it’s going well so far 🤷
I haven’t tried zorin yet. What codex are tiu missing?
Opus 7.1
I ducked it and typed “Sudo apt install opus-tools” in the terminal as instructed, but all that seems to accomplish is to install Microsoft Core Fonts for some bizarre reason 🤦
I might be wrong but isn’t it libopus-dev? I thinkni remember coming across it before. I can’t look it up properly atm but I can later after Christmas celebration to help.
An MKV could include a host of different audio stream codecs. You’d have to first find out which one(s) your files are using, with a tool like
mediainfo, for example.Some media players like mpv or mplayer variants usually come bundled with a bunch of typical codecs.
Could it be that it’s a “proprietary” one like DTS or AC3 (alias Dolby Digital) which for that reason your distro does not ship out of the box?
I do use arch
Sorting by scaled might diversify your experience (i dont know why the sleep deprived me can only think complicated words)
I know, just lazy to tap the sort button lol. Get some sleep! Never Lemmy and deprive!
what were you reading tho
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.
Was it a good book series? Worth reading?
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.
Judging by the heft of that book, the author isn’t hurting for inspiration.
Can we turn this into a book recommendation thread? If you want fantasy horror, anything by T. Kingfisher is great. I love the Sworn Soldier books (reinterpretation of The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe) and the World of the White Rat series.
If you like litrpg I recommend life at reset… Basically(no spoilers this is book 1 chapter 1) guy is head of huge guild in a mmorpg, he gets betrayed by his friend and turned into a literal monster. As it progresses it goes in several weird directions of philosophy as weird as that sounds.
Its a YA fantasy novel, written at the start of those getting more popular again. If you are looking for a series to just read for awhile, its not bad - the novels are all actually a decent length, and she has written several series within the same universe.
There is a lot of teenage angst in all of the books though.
Was the cruise worth it? Never been on one so don’t know if bringing books is a thing or not.
