I don't get DMs because no one recognizes me.

I literally walked into a bar with 14-15 men and women from my graduating class. I recognized and named each one. Not a single one of them recognized me.

I can blend in with a fed, doctor, magat, retail employee, door sales man.

For a long time the invisibility was painful.

But recently I realize, it can have a lot of power too.

Did you watch Iron Man 3, too? Just don't go full-Killian.

skill issue, just be so weird that you make friends with the other weird guys

side effects may include: finding out why they are ostracized

[–] Naz@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

Linux and open source club or something

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I knew it, I just wasn't weird enough!

[–] mstrk@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Arya is hardly the most weird character in GOT... Probably the most based character in the series.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 10 points 6 hours ago

The hound also doesn't get DM's about cryptocurrency

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 12 points 14 hours ago

So pyramid schemes on both sides?

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 10 points 4 hours ago

I solved this problem for life by going to my 10 year reunion (a mostly Mormon town). I only went because I happened to be on a motorcycle trip in the region with a girlfriend, a certified Freaky-Chick™️.

I had my own bike, but chose to ride on the back of hers to add extra confusion.

Just to be sure I was not included any more, I loudly proposed we wait at least 25 years for another when the choices presented were 5 or 10 years for the next one.

Am I the only one that read DM as Dungeon Master? I thought it was cool that they each discovered the joys of DnD after graduating.

[–] PassingDuchy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I was so confused lmao thanks for illuminating me. l Legit thought OP had some weirdass dungeon masters and was about to respond actually most don't do that you just got a find the one for you lmao

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Why does it say cryptocurrency instead of pyramid scheme for the second caption?

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago

You know how you sometimes go to thesaurus to find synonyms so you don't repeat the same word twice

[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 7 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

I was weird and still got the pyramid scheme DM. What about it?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 19 points 10 hours ago

Their desperation level was higher than your weirdness level.

Please file a complaint with your universe representative.
(There is a line.)

i have literally no idea how anyone from high school would even find me to contact me if they wanted to

[–] RedPostItNote@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

This is the way

You know why you get these ads?

I was also weird. I now make a living selling artwork for antidepressant ads

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I got an invitation for a wedding.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Everyone will get a gift basket that makes them have to buy crypto coins for a pyramid scheme that invests in cryptocurrency!

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago

Me who didn't get into a group chat... 👀

Btw if you don't have a phone in school, you basically don't have friends. This is what society is like these days.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 3 points 12 hours ago

Me who isn't even active in popular socmed so no one DMed me

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

ooooh that is why

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

I was in the same unit as some guys from my high school during my time as a conscript in the German army. Since then I've literally only ever met one of them briefly, thirty years ago. Apart from that I've had zero contact with anyone I've gone to school with.

This is so sad. Even weirdos deserve to farm those sweet, sweet, totally legitimate 1,900% yields

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 12 hours ago

Truly. WTF. 🤣 I recently checked my cobwebbed FB and saw a random message from someone I barely remember from school, inviting me to a reunion. I guess it could've been worse, but... bitch, what are you smoking? 🤦🏼‍♂️

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 1 points 54 minutes ago

I talk to one person from highschool, it's my current department head, he joined the company about 10 years before me. We've joked that this is the closest either of us will ever get to a class reunion.

The best part is we have a similar sense of humor and give each other shit during every team meeting. This is especially fun when newbies are in the meeting, we take it up a notch just to screw with them. Afterwards we of course let them in on the gag.... eventually.

[–] SpaceShort@feddit.uk 1 points 7 hours ago

Me but I also refused to use Facebook so no-one could DM me even if they wanted to.

[–] Tracaine@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

What the fuck is a DM? Like Dungeon Master?

[–] Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Direct message, basically when you message someone privately.

Sad thing is, I knew the meaning of DM, but had to check what the actual abbreviation was...

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 hours ago

Lowkey, we never should have switched from 'private message' to 'direct message'. I feel like the switch in terminology has softened the public opinion towards corps reading your mail. Private messages should be private.
