What to do when you have an image (as in reputation) you don't care for?

Long story short I have an image I don't like but from another point of view I fit it perfectly. It's not really a negative perception but I just don't like I'm being shoved into a stereotype. It's even more infuriating when I try to do my best to not fit into that stereotype. But people still see me as said stereotype. ...

Some kind of fantasy RPG world (Shen)

artist's bluesky source

Panel 1: Shen is standing in the middle of a city street, with green and blue hues from a park in the background, happily saying "Man, sometimes I wish I lived in some kind of fantasy RPG world."  Panel 2: We switch perspectives so Shen is in profile, as he gestures his hand forward and says "But then I think: Nah, my current life is fine as is."  Panel 3: Shen puts his hand down and the previous text bubble disappears, revealing a white truck about to come out of a narrow alley.  Panel 4: The truck reverses back into the alley, only its headlights now visible in the darkness.

TIL about the "Mar-a-Lago face" a bold plastic surgery and fashion trend popular among American conservative and Republican circles.

I dunno, if this meme (all be it humorously) is accusing the Reddit user base of having a thoughtpolice that does insinuate quite a large sense of superiority which is just absolute pack mentality. Lemmy is almost exactly and fundamentally synonymous to Reddit, hence a lot of people moved over to Lemmy after the end of third party app support.

So the only real argument one could make in pointing out the positive difference between the two. Is that the users of Lemmy may have a bigger hatred towards capitalism or think user support is more important than habitual comforts.

I am hijacking my own comment here. Apparently the occupancy of Las Vegas hasn't really shifted at all since the 90s. What the guy in the video is saying is true enough but I think the video is still a little sensationalised.

Okay final draft: The truth is more complicated than that. Apparently the visitation rates are still the same. It's the gaming revenue that's down. Which you can see down here here. Which makes sense I suppose. So apparently people are still visiting Vegas they're just not gambling as much any more (or people have just gotten more and more lucky over the years 🙃).
