Aw gee! Are y-y-you sure, Rick? I mean, it’s congested as fuck either way!

WindyRebel,

Are those the new all season fashion condoms by Latex?

WindyRebel,

Oh, just Clooney? If it was the Baldwins then there would be HELL to pay!

WindyRebel,

I always hear “ripped up like a douche”

WindyRebel,

Worked in printing before things were phased to computers and had to shoot/cut out negatives on a light table for the press plates. It was called “stripping”. So, I was a stripper once without taking off any clothes.

Pharmacists are drug dealers. At least I call them that. 😁

Deepfake of U.S. Official Appears After Shift on Ukraine Attacks in Russia (www.nytimes.com)

The fabricated video, which is drawn from actual footage, shows the State Department spokesman, Matthew Miller, seeming to suggest that the Russian city of Belgorod, just 25 miles north of Ukraine’s border with Russia, was a legitimate target for such strikes....

WindyRebel, (edited )

Yes.

From an American point of view:

If successful on their people, they’ll be using it on social to make up bullshit with “proof” that fuels MAGA rhetoric and make the divide in America even worse. The difference is that now when we ask for proof of these lies then they will have something that is pretty tangible to all but those who really know how to spot it.

They could even do it on the flip side and make horrible videos of Republicans saying things that they didn’t to make the left hate them even more and even if they said they didn’t do it we wouldn’t believe them because they’ve done and said horrible stuff already.

Scary shit!

WindyRebel,

I don’t hate them. I just don’t care about them and the only thing they really do for me is let me know that a product exists. After that, I research it if I am interested or move on and forget about it if not.

WindyRebel,

Lassie, in response to the bestiality rumors circulating about you, I have decided to forgo calling you by the usual girl’s name, and instead I am going to refer to you as whatever famous dog I can think of. I have gone with Lassie because of course it satisfies the criteria of being both a girl’s and a dog’s name, thus helping you to ease into the transition

WindyRebel,

Today random, but you’re not Tyfud from XdO are you?

WindyRebel, (edited )

lol! Holy shit and so random. I doubt you knew me on DAoC, but I was on Hibernia/Nimue when you all played Midgard.

I played a Lurikeen nightshade name Cyno and then a Celt valewalker named Chaka. I was in smaller guilds mostly, but TPG did recruit me for a short time.

WindyRebel,

Such a small world, even on the internet! I’ve only ever seen this name and spelling this way from gaming and thought I’d ask.

Things are great for me! In my 40s, but still feeling young. Can’t game as much because married with kid and dogs, but I do from time to time. Getting hard to be competitive without those twitch reactions. Ha!

How about yourself?

WindyRebel, (edited )

I love that we’re having this little conversation in the midst of a thread about politics. 😂

That’s awesome and I’m glad to read that things are working out for you! Being childless can be pretty nice to do what you want and invest in your partner. Pets are always nice. Our kitty passed April 1, 2020 (awful date). We have 2 Shiba Inus now after our other shiba passed 2 years ago.

I’m happy to hear that you’re looking to pursue your passion and I wish you the best of luck! I do SEO for two major child care companies (national and international), but want to switch careers to either IT or front end web development or full stack (eventually). I just need to really think this through and start on a path.

As for games, I’ve been engaged with Baldur’s Gate 3 and HellDivers 2 mostly lately. I am big into D&D now and play in a campaign and then DM two others. What games have you worked on? I’d love to try one out!

WindyRebel,

Thank you. So I just need to turn on the data roaming and I should be golden then?

WindyRebel,

Thank you! I thought it might work that way, but then second guessed myself because it seemed too easy/convenient. Glad that is the case though.

Have a good remainder of your week!

WindyRebel,

I already paid for a coverage plan that lasts a month. It’s a capped high speed data amount and unlimited texts, over 200 minutes of talk time, so I should be plenty covered over there.

WindyRebel,

Again, a vote for a giant douche or a turd sandwich.

What do people today act like is new, when it's already have been a thing or already been around?

Gamers like to make it sound like $70 is a new thing today for video games. When, I've seen adverts of games back in late 90s and early 90s that were priced $70. It's always been around so I find it ridiculous that so many of them complain that the pricing is too high when, it's been a thing....

WindyRebel,

Regarding AI, it’s not just the speed but the accessibility. Photoshop takes skills that not everyone will learn. AI only requires the skills of a crossed monkey and can be done on anyone at a volume that even photoshop wont do unless you’re dedicated.

As an example, grab several photos of Jo Blow and you can have them nude in minutes. Photoshop, I assume, would require hours for several photos?

I don’t know photoshop, so maybe I am totally off.

WindyRebel,

What? I’m curious what the rationale was. Theft is classified as a crime, so how can any tangible item followed by theft not be a crime?!

WindyRebel,

Damn. That’s just nuts. Thanks for sharing this experience as I’ve never heard of this. I don’t own a boat, but they can apply that to anything unless I am rich.

WindyRebel,

Accessibility is because SEOs games the system? Developers not knowing how their JavaScript and code render to crawlers is SEOs gaming the system? Are you serious?

You realize mom and pop shops don’t have marketing experts or big teams to help them compete? You do know that prior to Google, you paid PEOPLE to list your site on a directory? Because bribes and human fallibility doesn’t exist, right?

If you’re so smart and SEOs are fucking it all up and you have such a problem, what is your solution? No one else has figured it out - not Bing, not DDG, not Jo schmo’s flavor of the month search engine. Now we have AI to mass produce and provide shitty content to the masses, thanks software engineers. You will ultimately end up having done more harm than ANY SEO ever did.

WindyRebel,

Yes they were free. There are back channels to people, dude. You should read about the history of SEO.

I’m not saying SEOs are responsible for accessibility, I’m saying they help others provide it! Like the mom and pop places I mentioned. You only asked for what good SEOs do and I provided examples. You’re so angry that you are projecting ideas that I didn’t say.

Every fucking thing you have mentioned is literally not SEO but some other stakeholder that has control of how everything works. SEO is just a means to make sure your company is the one that gets the visibility and a click because all other companies made it that way.

And the guy you quoted, Rand Fishkin, is one of the many SEOs that have been calling Google out on their bullshit for YEARS now. We know Google is shit but they are the elephant in the room and are the lexicon used as a verb worldwide.

Your fight isn’t with SEOs, it’s with the companies that gatekeep everything else and change the rules so everyone has to adapt. I’m done arguing. Your responses are Boolean with a true or false as long as it fits your narrative and you refuse to believe that there is any good in SEO. That’s fine and you’re welcome to your opinion.

Great question! Search engines crawl social media and discover links. It can be a sign of trust and authority if it’s shared widely, which can help boost signals of page importance to Google (or other engines) and help with pushing up in organic ranking positions.

Harmonizing brand details (name, address, phone number, website link) across all social platforms is important so you don’t send mixed signals or lead to unneeded redirects.

There’s also figuring out what page(s) you want to ensure are showcased if multiple URL links are allowed or maybe your social team doesn’t know all of the page assets you have to satisfy their audience, such as an orphaned page. These are part of what are called “backlinks”.

Hashtags do matter for some platforms and knowing how to research them for intent is wise.

There’s also open graph (OG) metadata that you can set on a webpage that allows your metadata to be different on social platforms than you would use for a search engine - tailor to your audience!

Edit: one other thing is, while not social media, maybe connecting with a social team (if there is one) to find out if any posts need to be applied to Google Business listings via a Google Post for local locations.
