    I’m the guy but instead of a pyramid scheme I’m just trying to get all of my friends to install Linux and switch to fediverse social platforms

      I had a family member that was part of a pyramid scheme in the 90’s. On the drive home my parents explained us what a pyramid scheme is, why it’s bad and what not. It was always kind of the back of my mind. Then the internet came around and i thought for myself: wow, pyramid schemes are a thing of the past now, because you can just look shit up on the internet. How wrong i was.

    I’ve had 3 friends from HS hit me up (I’m in my 40s now) asking if I want to go to their pampered chef or Amway gatherings.

    Hell. No.

    Thinking about that time I posted online that it was my last day of college classes so I could only get dumber from there on out, and someone I hadn’t talked to since high school wrote a reply in agreement and my response to them was “It’s like what Smash Mouth said: ‘Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb’”

    It’s not a pyramid, it’s an inverted Delta. And that puts you right at the top.

    Only ever had one of these, but I wasn’t popular in school, and the vibe of person I have hung out since then are too anticapitalist for the most part.

    I play a game of “how long until they try to sell me shit” when one of them messages me. Its funny because they get better at tip toeing around all of it for weeks then they stop talking to me completely.

    Recently looked up an old friend from my school days. He’s all over FB singing about his love of meth and online poker.

    I decided to not reconnect after all.

      That would be a perfect cover story if he’s like a super spy, or something.

        FTFY

        side note, does anyone know some actually decent software for mobile with this functionality? I ended up making that image faster in google slides than finding a software with the super advanced functionality of pasting an image on another. everything i found was A) some photo editor with no such functionality B) some AI shit or most often C)both
