  • I'm happy you've found a place to talk with people. I hope that space doesn't get invaded by assholes

  • It's a shame I haven't seen more YouTubers leaving X, they all seem to use it to talk about whatever they do. Not that I watch a lot of YouTube these days but my family does, younger ones especially watch those minecraft SMP types. Its arguably the most toxic social media but "everyone's on there".

    I liked this article about the whole ordeal so I'll share it here: Why You'll Leave X as well as instagram and all other private platforms

  • I keep making the incorrect assumption that everyone has already left X. Just seems common sense we've hit all hands abandon ship

  • I dont know how to respond to that to be honest.

    I had a whole thing in my head of just asking what you felt so that I could hear you out. I have a different opinion but I change my mind on things frequently.

    You posted two other things so I took that to mean A) you didn't mind talking about your opinion and B) might have wanted to say your peice. I wanted to hear what you had to say, why you felt the way you did. I can see you thought I was being disingenuous but I really meant that in good faith. I'm not great at this whole internet convo stuff so I'll take it as my bad but I really did just want to talk. Sorry.

  • Hey, I see I'll preface this with: I saw this scrolling through All, I'm not from America so have no skin in the game, and for all intents and purposes you'd look at me and see a cis dude.

    I see a lot of posts with opinions like this and really don't understand the point of view because I come from a totally different world. Before reading this (and like 100 other posts of the same nature) I would have said "y'all were stupid for not voting dems in. It was clear what republicans were going to do, and are doing. Voting against them was the only option."

    I'm just trying to learn, not wanting to start shit, but what was the alternative here? From where I sit, again in another country altogether, y'all had two options and chose to either vote the shittiest, vote 3rd party (never going to win) or not at all. What's the purpose? I saw someone mention George Carlin talking about why he doesn't vote (says there's no point so he jerks off at home rather than jerk off by going to the polls and pretending he made a difference). I've seen a lot of "you can't expect me to vote for genocide" comments which I agree with. Idk, I guess I saw someone talking passionately and just wanted to understand what the plan was?

    I'd really like to hear from someone with the point of view im asking about, as I said, I've already got an opinion based on where I'm from, I don't need someone telling me what others think and why they're wrong.

  • Okay well, this is what I get for trusting other commenters. I'm gonna do some research here and find out some specifics, then I'll change the title and post again lol

  • I’ve updated the title so it’s more correct

  • Yep, updated the title to be more correct

  • As some other commenters are saying, it's an exFAT symlink issue (theyrr not supported). I've not had issues with ntfs so far.

  • Only rebuttal to your argument about Adelaide is that retail workers (aka 14-18yr olds for the large majority) shouldn't have to work all the time, including on a weekends... maybe it's just me but why do they need to be open after 5 on a Saturday? Groceries are open till 7pm during the week and later around Christmas. This feels very specific, did an Adelaide Woolies/Coles hurt you? /s on the last part but I am legitimately curious tbh.

  • Got introduced to the phrase "your tongue was in the wrong spot in your mouth", for something that can't be reproduced.

  • Ironically you're the one who missed the joke here

  • Might be a rabbit styled one

  • Thank you for sharing that, could not find a link back to it. On an unrelated note I have a stitch

  • Rule

  • Idk, probably not around kids...?

  • This advice feels a lot like something that should be stuck on a wall rather than posted as a comment in a conversational subreddit. It's kind of like reminding people on posts about alcohol and partying not to drink and drive - unprompted. Reminders like this are great, but setting and context are important, otherwise you drive people away from the conversation.
