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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (50 dollars a load)

    Jesus fuck. What company did you cruise with? I've worked fot NCL and have been on a Princess cruise; both offered laundry services free.

    Hell, I'm annoyed that my apartment's laundry service is like video game MTX where you need credits for the machine. The machines are like 2 and a half bucks each, but you can only buy a minimum of $10 worth of credits which gets me 2 loads, and then leaves some credits left over that I can't use or get refunded.

    I used to have that and hated it too but then I moved into a place that only accepts loonies (CAD $1 coins) and I just want to go back to the card based MTX. Mainly because I'm with a bank that has no physical locations to take coins out and the laundromats around me guard their coin machines like hawks

    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?

    So Reddit banned you and is now profiting having your picture on their homepage? I would do a takedown request.

    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?

    So originally she was right next to me at a charging station that faced the wall. I sat next to her because I was waiting for her to get up and leave so i could sit and face the wall and charge my phone AND be more comfortable reading my book. She kinda put her head down on the table and started snoring so loudly, it was hilarious. I looked around a bit at a few people next to me and we were all kinda laughing at it. She eventually got up and sat down somewhere else and I didn't notice because I was too into my book at the time I guess.
