I don’t think the answer to the corrupting influence of America’s rotting republic is to become a two party system.

I don’t think they mean being trans, just that user’s awful writing style. And if you mean the dude thing, I think that’s become gender neutral in popular usage, like ‘you guys’.

I checked the modlog, they used the r slur in their otherwise on-point rant.

Some of the boards use a system called tripcodes, which are essentially a username and password in one that are used when writing individual posts. It allows people to prove that they’re the same person across multiple posts, without anything as identifying as a user profile attached.

That’s so much grosser and arguably just as carcinogenic.

Reddit, at least the corporation and increasingly the userbase, is definitely in the process of shifting to the right. Lemmy is the kind of alternative social media the person you’re replying to is advocating.

Technology is one of the most politically charged topics possible. Even leaving aside big tech and AI stuff, you have the ideologues behind the open source movement, or the fact that a lot of our modern tech infrastructure is built on conflict resources and manufactured by forced labor. Politics ripple through every aspect of our lives.

Everything is political. The sooner you get over this “I’m tired of politics, let me enjoy my doomscrolling” attitude, the more respectable you’ll be.

Ew

If he’s been at it long enough to paint a wooden sign about it, I think the authorities are aware.

That is a wild leap to make. Just mind boggling. Dogs are not people, and people are not dogs. If that were not the case, a lot of the behavior and culture around dogs would be alarming, at best.

My favorite “theory” about this is based on the fact that they shot a reaction cut of Obi-Wan looking suspicious, implying that Han thought they were a couple rubes that wouldn’t know what a parsec was. That would mean it wasn’t a mistake, and you don’t need to come up with the convoluted shit other people have to justify it.

You cannot be a serious leftist and pretend to be offended by a little “anti-white” rhetoric.

Their comment was a joke, in case you missed it.

Fuck that, I’m not getting Ukraine’d.

Yeah, but most of them didn’t have top advisors sieg heiling on the inauguration stage. There has been a steady escalation here that shows no signs of stopping. Once you notice that you’re actually on a slippery slope, it’s no longer a fallacy.

Maybe if he could speak with more gusto than a dying electronic greeting card, we’d actually believe that he meant it.

What?

Brother, you wouldn’t blow 2-3 cocks in an 8 hour shift if that was your only duty? After the first week, you’d be so good at it that you’d be “working” less than an hour a day.
