I wish he didn’t look so much like my grandma
Great, now I can’t unsee it
You can’t unsee their grandma?
He looks just like her
You know, if I squint a little and turn my head to the side, I can see it now. He does look very much like @PriorityMotif’s grandma.
It’s kind of scary
Man, I must be really boring…
Lock screen:
Wallpaper:
I’m worse. I use the same one on my lock screen, which is this Google space wallpaper with the cut off close up Earth at the bottom and the sun at the top.
They’re nice. Maybe you’re nice too. You know, nice and normal. That’s something to aspire to nowadays. Anyway have a great nice day.
At least yours have aesthetic value. My lock screen is my kid and my wallpaper is one of my dogs.
i wish my dad was a lemmy user
My dad died in 2016, so I wish I had a dad. 🙁
i’m sorry to hear that :(
that lock screen is insane
Real tree here in Portland.
That’s because no one else on the planet matters more to him than… him. Donald Psycho McTrump.
Not psycho IMO, Narcissistic.
C) All of the above.
My lock screen is black and my wallpaper is black. Less clutter. Less visual noise. Easier to find items.
Also, depending on the screen, less battery drain.
I have a black background because why would I want anything else. My lock-screen has always been an image that I made many years ago.
I prefer having someone far less evil on mine.
That should surprise exactly no one. Narcissistic cheetolini.
This is how he knows it’s really couldn’t be anyone else’s phone.
And his fans call trans people narcisistic, for wanting to be respected and not wanting to hear yet another dumb “remedy” for “gender confusion”.
I don’t understand how any of them can have a problem with narcissists when their god is the living embodiment of narcissism.
That’s something an old person would do. This all checks out
Working in a store and being known locally as the “tech guy”, you would be surprised how many young people (mostly girls) have handed me their phone and the lock screen and background pics are selfies.
If it’s a man with a pic of himself it’s usually with something he identifies with. A tractor, a guitar, a game collection, a truck or car, guns. Shit like that.
Donald Trump identifies with Donald Trump and MAGA hats. It has nothing to do with making America great either. Maga is just a word now, and that word means Donald Trump.
I was wondering about this phenomenon yesterday. A female coworker handed me her phone and it was a mirror selfie which I didn’t think anything of at first, but it slowly dawned on me how odd I would find that had it been a man doing it. Can’t really think of a good reason why that is but I guess it’s just a weird cultural thing.
Yeah, culture is definitely a part of it. Women spend a lot of time on makeup, and I believe that is a part of it. All of that effort and they’re probably proud of their best work. I mean, I probably would be.
Whether we like it or not, men and women are different. The line between us is also very obviously subject to change and maybe one day the line won’t exist. It does at the moment though and that’s alright.
My kids tell me all the time that my views on gender are outdated. Their kids will probably tell them the same thing in one direction or another. There’s no telling. Culture is constantly evolving for better and worse. Some wild shit happened in the ancient world. Some wild shit will happen in the world of the future.
Being alive is interesting. I’m a moron though haha. Take care.
Checks out. Donald Turnip uses loads of makeup
Even more simple than that its what a narcissist would do.
And he chose that picture of himself?
I mean it’s not like there’s a good photo of him…
Why sully a very plausible claim with a screenshot that is clearly not of a wallpaper? Lock Screen displays the big clock, not at the little corner clock. Home Screen at minimum shows the dock at the bottom. Time at top + app switcher line at bottom = open app.
Pray tell, how is the lock screen wallpaper not a wallpaper?
When you tap the share button on a photo in the photos app, there’s an option that appears called “use as wallpaper”. Guess what it brings up when you select that option? That’s right, it’s the page to customize the Lock Screen wallpaper first and foremost.
Noooooooo it’s very slightly difffereeeeeennnnnnnt
Look closer. Trump’s phone wallpaper is visible in the photograph.
Definitely not a narcissist. Totally normal. We all do that, right? /s
And it’s one of the most unflattering pictures I’ve ever seen in my god damn life
Donald thinks it makes him look like a tough guy.
Well ðis þread just made me deeply self conscious about þinking v making my home screen a picture of me wið my GF ðat I’m particularly fond of.
I’m probably going gl regret asking, but why the odd letters? And why, as near as I can tell, are there two different ones for ‘th’?
Fun fact, when you see “ye olde tavern”, the y is used in place of þ. Which is pronounced “the”.
I don’t know why this guy insists on using these old letters but hey it’s fun seeing colourful people on the internet. I say upvote the fella.
That is interesting!
My problem with using defunct letters is that it requires a lengthy explanation, and even then is still hard to read. It would be easier just being in a different language entirely, at least I could copy and paste into a translator.
ð and þ are lost letters of ð english alphabet which technically were used interchangeably, but in oðer languages represent two distinct sounds.
Þink vs Ðou if you want to sound it out to get what’s being distinguished, it’s like ð difference between B and P, or D and T, but for ð two sounds you hear whenever you read a th.
Which still doesn’t really answer why use them. Why make it intentionally harder to understand your comments? What’s the upside to it?
It’s all a part of Life’s Rich Pageant.
And even after the explanation (and I already knew about the letters), it’s still expends enough to parse for me to not bother.
