Very water-resistant chalk for asphalt? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

You could try covering it with hairspray. That's what we used to keep our charcoals from getting everywhere in art school.

It should eventually wash away, but might help some.

Yay for success, I guess?

Hmmm... I think maybe this question is best left unasked.

Tried a new Italian place in town and told everyone at work it was: "Chef Boyardee at Olive Garden prices"

I think better when I'm calm. So it follows that getting calmer will make me smarter. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Nope. Some people just need to be in the same room (especially one with limited ventilation) and it could set them off. Everybody's reactions are different.

No, but in the 1800s they brought Native Americans into their schools and forced them to be as 'white' as possible, and killed those who didn't conform.

Had they been more successful, most Native Americans would have forgotten all of their culture within a few generations.

I wish people would grant me the same courtesy.

But then I'd have to buy a gaming PC.

I don't have a game right now. I spent the weekend searching Gamepass and testing out some games I wouldn't have bought blindly, trying to find my next obsession.

None have grabbed me yet. DOOM Middle Ages was starting to get fun but it kept crashing on me. Sorry developer's, if your game doesn't get my attention in the first ten minutes, you never deserved my money, but if I find the game on Gamepass and enjoy it, I tend to let others know.

Data Scrubbing Tele-mortgagers (lemmy.world)
 

In the past 24 hours, I've gotten three calls from mortgage companies looking for my ex-wife. I was pretty sure that she wouldn't put my phone number on her applications, so I asked the last guy who called how he got my number. He explained that they watch EVERYBODY'S credit, and when a mortgage inquiry pops up on anyone's report, they call every number that's ever been associated with that person, just so they can try to snatch the business from the company that ran the inquiry.

One of the callers, after being told I was not my ex, proceeded to read off her birthday and ask if that's when I was born. "No, but thanks for sharing her private information without permission."

If anybody was thinking about using Rocket Mortgage, I would recommend that you don't. If they are this shady on cold calling, I wouldn't trust anything else they do.

Just a thought that crossed my mind today.

If I was to ask everyone that you've ever interacted with (IRL) what their general opinion of you is, what do you hope the most common answer would be?

Would you hope they consider you a successful person, physically attractive, smart, the best in your field, etc?

Personally, my answer is "A good, kind person. Friendly and helpful."

Just wondering what the rest of feel.

EDIT: Based on the first few responses, I'm thinking I should have clarified better.

I'm not talking about your legacy after you're dead, I just mean right here, right now. You have left an impression on people. That is inevitable. Surely there aren't that many people that don't give a fuck what anyone thinks, but I must admit, it is a valid answer. Maybe you are the person who doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks. 🤷🏻‍♂️
