Holy fucking shit. I almost was exposed to a swear word on the Internet by some asshole cunt. That bitch didn't know it's fucking illegal to swear on the Internet. Thank fucking god someone put a thin line over it that barely covers it. I was about to shit a brick.

fuck

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

The only explanation I’ve heard is that big domains like .world use AI to scan images for filtering. That and reposting content from other website with strict profanity filters.

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

Those alleged filters are so fucking strict that a four year old who barely recognizes motherfucking letter would read that shit like a spelling bee champion.

[-] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 22 points 2 months ago

The hell are on about? This is not Instagram.

[-] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

This screen cap is two years old. Who knows how many site filters it has had to filter through.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

I doubt it is .world and not every mainstream social media

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

.world use AI

Damn. There goes the neighborhood. Cya all in a lower instance.

What's with people and their hate boners for a bar over a swear word? They're just reposted from Reddit or twitter or something

[-] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 28 points 2 months ago

Because I'm tired of the culture where we call things "grape", "corn" and "pewpews" and infantilize serious topics for the sake of being advertised to.

Come at me, "It's not that serious" brigade.

[-] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 months ago

Pew is for Ray guns. You mean powpows.

[-] Turret3857@infosec.pub 24 points 2 months ago

its annoying that people want to share these posts but are offended (or afraid of advertisers being offended) by the words "fuck", "shit", "bitch", "pussy", "rape", "suicide", so on and so fourth.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago
[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

You can't just say f*th on the internet. You're free to go fourth and say anything else your perverted heart fucking desires you sick and twisted parent fucker, but not that

Yeah, I don't get it. I personally don't like swearing, but I honestly don't mind reading or hearing it. It's really weird to me that people get mad at not seeing swearing, as if somehow naughty words make something better.

Express yourself however you want.

[-] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

I think it's not about swearing making something better than it is about swearing being apart of the original text. After all, nobody would be complaining if there just wasn't a swear word to begin with. Now we get a giant block of color that distracts from everything around it and half the time doesn't even do it's job (I can still see and clearly tell what the word is)

In my opinion it is not about swearing, and (not) seeing it, it is about censorship. Some big sites censor content that contains words that are considered bad by advertisers, these are not only swear words but also words like die, suicide, porn... This has changed the way some people communicate, with people using euphemisms or censoring words in images themselves: people censoring themselves before the big internet site censors them.

As you wisely said: "Express yourself however you want". The original author of the text in this post used a swear word and later it was censored by someone reposting it in social media to avoid upsetting the censorship machine or whatever website it was. I find this unacceptable.

I fully support using a rich vocabulary and not using swear words, being polite. There are many reasons to do this: respect for others, improving ones communication skills, practising formal writing... but giving in to censorship imposed by social media websites should NEVER be one. Fuck censorship. It is unacceptable to allow big tech companies to shape the way we speak with their censorship.

Express yourself however you want, if the website you're in doesn't allow you to do it don't give in to censorship, give up that website and look for a place where you can express yourself.

New copy pasta just dropped.

[-] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

What a life one must lead for this to be so upsetting it's worthy all this pearl clutching. This is borderline edgelording.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 71 points 2 months ago

That's how I learned to code. Got a night security job to pay bills and just took my laptop there. In my whole time there I had to get up from my desk maybe 2 times because some drunk dudes would get lost and stumble into the territory lol

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 71 points 2 months ago

It's somewhat the same argument for universal income. Gives people time to learn valuable skill sets without giving all their time and energy to some company.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago

I agree. I'm lucky I got this opportunity which really made me believe in social safety net as an ideology. So many people are stuck because there just no time to respecialize and re-invest your human resources. Automation, AI, robotics are only a problem because of this. If AI can take taxi driver's job and the taxi driver has the support to re-specialize to something more fulfilling then it's a win-win for everyone.

[-] SatanClaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

Not the American one though sadly.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

I agree, though I prefer the Negative Income Tax formulation over Universal Basic Income, for the simple reason that there's a lot less bookkeeping (only need to pay out for people making <$X). Ensure everyone is over the poverty line whether employed or not and we can eliminate the minimum wage and people will likely be better off since they can pursue their passions (which they'll likely be a lot more productive at) instead of doing whatever makes enough money.

Home Depot is an hardware shop in the USofA, right?

If so, why is an hardware store open overnight? What DIY emergency can come about that it can't wait for working hours?

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 95 points 2 months ago

These stores are not open at night. They sometimes have overnight staff that process loading bay trucks and/or restock shelves on the retail floor.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

Basically every chain grocery store does this at least once a week as well. I remember them trying to get me to do it when I worked for one while in college. Acted like it was such a great opportunity to get an extra buck an hour, which I quickly refused.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

Go to any 24/7 store around 3-4am and you'll probably see people restocking shelves.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I actually forgot 24/7 stores existed. I am too rural to have those nearby.

I work overnight at a home Depot, this has not been my experience.

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

You'd have to be pretty low volume not to have shit to do. Hell, moving pallets around that were placed in overstock way far from their stock location because people were too busy would be a full time job itself. That said, it's rare for anyone overnight to get the training to actually know what needs to be done.

I worked at the tire center in wal-mart when I was in college. To accomodate my school schedule I started at 2 in the afternoon and worked until the tire center closed. Then I was supposed to work with the people inside doing whatever they did for the last few hours. They never actually told me who to report to or what I was supposed to be doing for the last 3 hours so I would just go sleep in my car then go back in and clock out at the end of my shift. I did this for like 9 months and no one ever questioned me.

[-] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Did you quit or did someone noticed after 9 Months?

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 13 points 2 months ago

I quit when I got another job. My boss was gunning for me for other reasons when I left though.

Why not cut out the walking around in a store for 8h and still getting paid 17$/h. Universal Basic income now!

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 35 points 2 months ago

I hear what you're saying but the walking was probably the best part of that job. Barring disability, walking is so good for our bodies.

Home Depot getting inventive with their recruiting strategies

[-] brlemworld@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Ok, but what are the benefits? Is there a union? $17 is barely more than minimum wage.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

$7.25 is the federal minimum, which is the still minimum for many states.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Eh I'm sure they'll raise it to $7.50 in a few years

The federal minimum is less than half of that

Home depot is the most depressing of hardware stores. I wouldn't want to work there even if what this fake ass post says is true.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Also $17/hr is shit pay. You can't even rent an apartment at $17/hr.

[-] thebigslime@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Depends on your area.

Edit: working a full 40hr/wk at $17/hr can afford rent up to ~$880/mo.

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

$880 is how much people pay for a bedroom in someones else's house in my city.

*This is mostly because the zoning laws require all new apartment complexes to have one parking space per tenant which means land owners who want to develop their land to provide more density have to put in an underground parking garage on their lot which would make recouping the cost of development pretty much impossible (there's no room for surface lots). My city is almost entirely zoned this way which creates situations where the university is fully surrounded by single family homes that are "renovated" to provide jury rigged density.

Lmao my man came here with his green text telling everyone how happy he is for getting money for doing essentially nothing and people here are just straight up calling him a dumb poor bitch.

[-] ansiz@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

This was how it was in the good old days working third shift at Walmarts back when they closed at like 9-10pm. You were just there to unload the trucks and restock the shelves, so our store would put the peddle down and be finished at 3-4 in the morning. Our shift was until 7am so we'd typical goof off playing video games in the electronics department or watching movies.
