Whoa I didn’t know you could see state and county lines from space. I guess maps are more realistic than I thought!

No. I don’t thinks so…

More like an educated guess

Fuck that lol. Curse all you want, but curse to people. Not at them

In what I’ve observed from a certain demographic on here, there seems to be a theme

No.

You get it

If everything is capitalism, then nothing is capitalism

This is art

Haha. Fair point

Is capitalism in the room with you right now?

But the contractors. We need the contractors that want to overcharge and take as much of the taxpayers money as possible. It’s important! /s

Fast track to an IP ban. Front of the line with you

We talking about the verb or the noun? I also have been look at the word “shut” too long and now it looks weird

No brigading, or trolling to make someone angry. Trying to bully people into submission isn’t ok. A light poking is ok as long as it’sin good faith, but really just talk to people like you’re face-to-face.

My goal is to have a chuckle or general discussion despite what side people are on. I believe light teasing of the other side (and even your own side) opens serious dialog because you are acknowledging your side is imperfect, just like the other side. If you tease the other side and take yourself too serious, then that’s bullying.

Second, and with all due respect, everything you say can be easily summarized. And please don’t misunderstand, I believe you’re absolutely right in everything you have said, and I appreciate your detail to make sure you’re not misunderstood. However, every comment has been an essay. That takes so much mental energy for you. I can respect the effort you put into your comments because, godamn, it takes a lot with how much work you put into them, truly kudos.

However, I see it as building a front page for a resume. If you put too much meat onto the plate, then they’re never going to eat the potatoes. You want a filet mignon with a baked potato. I absolutely mean no offense. Just wanted to say that you could say the same thing with less words

I feel bad about instance blocking though. Like I did it with HB and pre-emptively grad, but it just feels like I’m cutting a whole people off because a minority group pissed me off. I’ll probably give it a week or so and unblock the instances because there’s absolutely no way that everyone sucks there

I first thought that if they helped fund Lemmy, then I’d rather not be here much longer to support their accomplishment, but also I own a Volkswagon so it’d be very hypocritical of me to do that. I agree that we just work on making Lemmy better and they lose power of their own chaos

They also apparently shared my post on The Dunk Tank and they doing about the same. They can dish it out, but not take it
