#pretentious — Public Fediverse posts

Oh, the irony! An article supposedly arguing 'against usefulness' demands #JavaScript and #cookies to even load. 🍪✨ Because nothing says "down with utility" like needing to enable the entire internet just to read a #pretentious #manifesto. 🙄

In a world where buzzwords battle for supremacy, this article bravely proclaims AI's #limitations, while simultaneously drowning in a sea of #pretentious #jargon and irrelevant topics. 🤓🤖 Clearly, the real "moat" here is the author's ability to protect readers from #meaningful #insights by burying them under a heap of #convoluted #nonsense. 💡🚫

Oh, look! Another #pretentious "aesthetic" to slap on a t-shirt and call it #cultural #critique. 🤯 Apparently, we're all just wandering through a #digital wasteland with "liminalism" as our guide, because nothing screams #originality like rehashing old art movements for clicks. 🙄 #HotTake

The "what I see vs. what I take" trend among social media "photographers" is often highly pretentious and annoying.

🚀🎩 Welcome to the #pretentious #musings of a self-proclaimed non-expert, regurgitating #RNA #predictions as if it were rocket science. 🤯😴 Spoiler: It's 4.8k words of #mental #gymnastics that boils down to "I don't know, but here's a novel-length #think #piece anyway." 🧐📜

🇬🇧 A few months ago, those 20ish k / 600mEG would have been a challenge . They are now slowly but steadily going toward the "casual daily run" category.

Lost some time looking for water.

🇫🇷 Il y a peu, ce genre de course était un vrai challenge pour moi. À force d'entrainement, je vais bientôt pouvoir la ranger dans la catégorie "je sais pas quoi faire, je vais faire un ptit tour".

In the dance of high contrast, shadows pirouette off staggered, rust-kissed metal doors. Almost too compelling, my camera couldn't resist. Snap! Snap! 📸
高コントラストの舞で、錆びた金属のドアから影が舞い踊ります。あまりにも魅力的で、私のカメラは抗えませんでした。シャッター！シャッター！📷

Pro-tip:

Whenever you listen that the #hiring fella tells you that he/she knows what they are doing ....the best thing you can do is put down the phone.

No point wasting time with the monkey, who failed to understand the requirements. And in a valiant stupid attempt try to impress ya.

Bet on your luck ...difficult to stand pretentious people ...

Their approach tells you all, whether they have a genuine one or not.

It's important to have little, easily achievable hopes and #aspirations.

One of mine is that I never become so #pretentious and yet so banal as to enjoy reading "The New Yorker".

This is my beach finds box frame entitled
"Skeletal Plague Doctor", or something equally pretentious.

Everybody in Brighton is an artist. Many of us are bad. :-) ;-)

I usually follow back, and love boosts.

New instance, so I suppose it's time for a new #introduction.

I'm Dom, 32, #bi / #polyam (not into cis dudes afaik tho lol), I'm a #translator, I play a lot of #videogames (loving #indiegames), although gamers (tm) are exhausting. I #speedrun as well, so check out my #twitch and #youtube for that.

I like #silly and #queer things, I'm into #musicals and #pretentious #art #discourse, no matter the art.

Also I live with my wonderful #family and four #cats which I occasionally toot pictures of.
