I wouldn’t know. I haven’t kept up with the industry since I left.

DatBoomerGirl@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What holiday destination is the most concerning?2·2 months agoI don’t know if they specifically catered to women. All I know is that some where willing to do it with women and others weren’t.
DatBoomerGirl@lemmy.cato Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•People worry AI will kill the internet, but I think it’s already dying - and it’s not because of AIEnglish2·2 months agoAs a Internet OG I can confirm. Back in the 90’s and 80’s the Internet was such a wild and interesting place. There was always a new website to explore and every website was so different from the last. Fast forward 20 years and now although other websites exists people only use like four and all of those websites look the same. If you look at sites like YouTube, MySpace and digg the one thing they had in common was that they had nothing in common and on those websites they allowed so much personalisation on each personal page that no two accounts ever looked the same. Now a day’s your lucky if you get your own background pic.
People always talk about dead internet theory but to me not only is it not a theory it’s been reality for years now.

Your welcome.
DatBoomerGirl@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What holiday destination is the most concerning?3·2 months agoIt is. I used to go there all the time back in the late 80’s/early 90’s for the prostitution. It’s pretty much legal over there. There’s a lot of red light districts in Amsterdam you can visit that just exist out in the open. It’s great. I stopped after a little bit once I found out about the legal consequences this could have but I still look back at it fondly.

DatBoomerGirl@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever had to give up on a dream career?7·2 months agoBack when I was 18 I wanted nothing more then to be a nurse. I didn’t have much going for me in terms of qualifications so becoming a normal nurse was out of the question so I decided to become a nurse in the military. I thought it would be easier and I would get to travel the world.
I signed up and it turned out I was wrong. I sucked at basic training and following instructions. They did a background check on me and having gone to S.E classes wasn’t a good look. They also did a psychological evaluation on me and it turns out I was a “deviant sociopath” so that wasn’t a good look either.
After a little bit I had to come to terms with the fact that I would never be a nurse. It was heartbreaking to do that. I had worked hard for so long just to be one and it really hurt to understand that no matter how hard I tried nothing would work.

DatBoomerGirl@lemmy.caOPto Ask Me Anything@lemmy.ca•I have an intellectual disability, AMA4·2 months ago“I don’t want to be insensitive, but are people really dying so fast these days? That sucks.”
Because there old. All of them are in there 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.
“You should stick around (if this isn’t a fake account)”
Thanks, I will
DatBoomerGirl@lemmy.caOPto Ask Me Anything@lemmy.ca•I have an intellectual disability, AMA3·2 months agoOh, that makes sense.
DatBoomerGirl@lemmy.caOPto Ask Me Anything@lemmy.ca•I have an intellectual disability, AMA4·2 months ago“Was there any early signs growing up?”
Too many to count. I learn to speak at a later age then others. I wasn’t able to read a book until I was 9. I always learnt slower then the other kids in my school and instructions and guides just didn’t click.
“What was going to Special Education classes like?”
Very isolating. I couldn’t be with any of friends and being special needs does single you out and make target for mockery. Not to mention it leaves a nasty stain on your record.
“If you could change it would you?”
Ever since I was a little girl all I’ve wanted to be is normal. Absolutely.
What? Why and how? How would I approach a guy to help me with this?
