I dont understand. Maybe I'm just stupid

Bro is taking a minute to reflect on how it’s still worth it to be a good person even when things seem to keep getting worse all the time

Oh I thought he was reflecting on all the cholesterol he’s about to consume!

A version of "nice guys never win".

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good hearted people aren't necessarily nice. In fact, they're often mean to oppressors.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

yep. good hearted doesn't mean nazi coddler, in fact, it often indicates a reduced amount of tolerance for the people who make intolerance their entire personality.

I don't understand it either. I'm stupid, so you're likely to be as well, sorry.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

That's sounds like something a smart person would say...

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

I think the second part means "damn! Do we ever win?!" expressing frustration. Not sure with that grammar, though. At first I took it as "damn do we ever win" meaning that "we always win" or "we win big".

Never heard if such a thing before. You learn new things on the internet everyday, such a magical place!

You are on lemmy, you shouldn't care about that things. If you are really concerned, there are instances where downvotes are disabled.

[–] loomy@lemy.lol 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

what about a version where you don't get banned?

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

If you get banned on .ml you can post it to !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works or on any other instances to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Bad airbrush job/filter to smooth skin.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 5 points 1 month ago

My Samsung phone does this to my skin if I put the filter on. It's pretty ridiculous looking.

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Possibly a face filter but I think it's just a little blurry because it's a still from a video.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

This looks like poorly done masking of skin issues to me. Notice how it excludes the eyes and parts of his skin near the hairline are not blurred.

That's Homo Instagramus, a new species of hominid that exists only on Instagram, as it requires excessive camera filters to stay alive. When deprived of filters, the instagramus' genetic code loses stability, and it reverts back to a human being.

It’s a screencap of a video
