This is very interesting. I've been thinking of how a similar but different system could be implemented. The front page of any instance always seems to have two to four posts by the same person, and I've been following a rule that if I notice it I block them to remove their clutter of posts from my feed. Unfortunately, most of these accounts are brand new ones posting memes, so it feels like for every two I swat down, four more take their place.

I was looking for an instance that allowed me to mute all new accounts, or less likely an instance that filters out posts by the same person, but it doesn't seem such a thing has been created.

This isn't the same that I wanted, and if I'm not mistaken it only applies to posts inside this instance, since the algorithm is removing them? Or does it filter out all similar posts across the fediverse feed? Still, it's close in concept.

Are they painted? It looks like they're wrapped in something to me, I'd also like to know why. My first thought was to protect against cold or weather.

Do you have any attachment to your employer beyond that? As in, would you consider him a friend, that if the situation called for one of you to move away, or otherwise end in the job no longer being available, you would be saddened by not being around him?

How do others treat you in his home? His significant other or any family members for example.

Do you have shifts that you have to work, and free time to yourself, or are you always "on the clock" so to speak? How do holidays work?

I don't remember a specific age the transition happened, or if I ever actually believed it, but I remember my family getting a PS3 one year for Christmas "from Santa". Sometime in the Summer, I was in the car while my mom was on the phone talking about the PS3 she got for us needing a repair or something. Again it wasn't that I believed in Santa at that point, it just became a core memory of "Oh you lied about that"

Thought this was Mildly Annoying, and I would have agreed. As a retail stocker, the shelf expects them to all be the same, but the one that's a slightly different shape usually doesn't fit as many as the rest. It's even worse when companies decide to change the packaging for the same product, like Stouffers, and I have to spend an extra five seconds determining if the items are the same or aren't.

I've had this same thought for years. There's nothing more frustrating than loading up YT and a recommended video on the home page has a major spoiler in the thumbnail for something I'm interested in. Titles can be bad too, but at least I can skim over most of them and not actually process them.

i think this is the first comment i've read since joining the fediverse to make me actually laugh. thank you for posting something far funnier than it had any right to be.

It means a story that is overblown and exaggerated and receives a lot of attention, but on closer inspection warrants no concern.

Oh man, not something I ever would have considered, but something I'm extremely excited for! I don't know how much help I could be, but I'll join your discord later.

The toilet leaking seems like a little too much effort for me, but otherwise I'm on board. Don't forget moving their small and easily misplaceable objects when they set them down. Maybe just around the room a little bit, like putting their phone on their seat when they get up instead of the arm of the chair where they left it.
