It used to be a quick trick to find good forum responses but since google doesn't care about any forums but reddit anymore it doesn't really work like it used to.

Yeah, this time was pure frustration, especially due to all the top and AI responses being from before microsoft dropped their display.cpl.

Literally zero answers across google, bing, yahoo, and ddg, just google was the only search engine shitty enough to block be for it.

It doesn't though, and trust me when I say that between my career and interests, I probably use google more than 98% of the population and this is the first time it has ever happened.

Stock photos can create a strange reality if you take them on face value, women ridiculously excited at a forkful of salad, groups of people over 5 have token representation, periods are blue for some reason, No one in the bar actually drinks and just keeps raising their glasses in generic joy and celebration.

All to market to us.

That's fine if that pad they are resting on is sterile but its still not good practice as someone could get inadvertently jabbed.

I like this post because it goes a long way to proving that highly technical jobs have depths of nuance that your average laymen will never even consider.

Like when you see 'hacking' in movies, as an IT guy it makes me hardcringe every time.

Another example of this is how Hollywood portrays 'poor' families as having houses 3x larger than anything you could ever afford and two cars but they are just making sad faces all the time.

Because that's what struggling is to hollywood writers, they lack the nuance to understand what being poor really means.

The problem is that these media images being made are MORE compelling to people who don't understand the nuance. That tray of utensils looks fine to me as a knowlessman and I would feel that whatever content was hosting it was medically reliable.

You as a professional know it is ridiculous only because you have the practical experience that the artist lacked.

The real danger is when people start believing the artist more because of how much more aesthetically pleasing they can make their misunderstandings, and trust me it is a real danger.

Blame a right wing activist mod on lemmy.world's politics sub. Had a 7 month old account permabanned despite the fact that the day after my ban the mod was kicked from the community for being a shitheel. Sent the site admins the proofs, they didn't give a fuck.

Fuck you Kingoflorida, fuck you with seven pounds of red hot rebar.

I use 2 different google accounts.

My daily driver which has all my browsing history turned off, so I only really see my subs.

A secondary with browsing history on that I only use to search and browse new content to subscribe to on my main.

So far its worked pretty well.

Good.

Anyone still left there doesn't need to hear about this place.
