I don’t really think that there are good people. I don’t mean it as cynical as it sounds. I KNOW there are bad people. I don’t think I’m one of those.

I think if it were being done responsibly and thoughtfully it would actually be pretty exciting and cool. If it was all in some kind of public trust, owned by everyone equally, or if it were TRULY open source I would honestly be banging the drum for it… as it is, it’s just an accelerant stoking the fire of inequality and a weight disadvantaging those already at the greatest disadvantage, even while it bouys those already the furthest ahead. Fuck the clankers, and anybody who thinks this is ethical needs to wake the fuck up


Same in the US. Growing up Walmart, any pharmacy and a handful of other shops were all 24 hour, even out in the stix. Since COVID I literally don’t know of a single 24 hour establishment of any kind within an hour of me. Enshittification at the physical scale I guess


No generational war for me thanks, only class war plz


Pass, but thanks for the offer!


I know this is a shitpost, but as someone who has both sucked dicks and eaten pussy it’s disingenuous to act like it’s the same to go down on an unshaven version of each.
I don’t care if you don’t shave if you have a vagina, and aesthetically I don’t really have a preference, but I enjoy eating a shaved/waxed pussy a lot more. It’s a sensory thing. I don’t like having a mouthful of wet pubes. For the dicks I’ve sucked this is a non-issue either way.
Yeah, I’ve been wondering about this lately. I’m starting to think that the platform itself requires too much tech literacy to use and understand to ever be appealing to anyone other than highly tech-literate individuals. While I’d like to believe there’s enough of us out there to build rhobust communities around non-tech topics if this is true, I’m starting to worry that there just aren’t.
For all it’s flaws, Reddit was always very simple to understand and interact with, and it seems like the fediverse is just inherently more complex. Even if that’s not true, it’s going to FEEL true to anybody new since virtually all the active communities are peopled by the tech-literacy 1%


The flames of hell they seemed so high
When I could barely see over the pew
I was only a boy when they told me that lie
But lord it felt so true
And that’s a hell of a thing to do to a kid
Just to teach him right from wrong
You can burn in hell for the rest of your days
Or you can choose to sing along
Found this song on shuffle during a drive and had to pull over to cry out some religious trauma.


Intent SHOULD matter most here. Generally that’s true. I’ve also seen some folks go apeshit on people for using the wrong terms while the person speaking was actively trying to use the correct terms but just isn’t up-to-date. People of all groups, nationalities, genders etc can be dickheads, even when I agree with them broadly politically


I’m partial to Charles Darwin with this banger from 1861
But I am very poorly today and very stupid and I hate everybody and everything. One lives only to make blunders.


To this day I hear “Diarrhea Jane” instead of “Diary of Jane”


Early and often. I used to be one of those people who would just never admit if I’m wrong, grew up with them for sure. Learned it’s WAY less stressful to just admit the moment you realize you’re wrong.
That said, I use devils advocating to figure out what my actual opinions are, so I will argue positions I’m not 100% sure of pretty adamantly. Always seems to throw people when we debate for 20 minutes, me passionately defending my stance and then at the end I’m like “huh, yep. You right.” Most people think I’m fucking with them or something and keep trying to argue and I’m just like “yep, 100% agree”.


True, but from what I’ve read, virtually all mosquitoes don’t bite people. You can wipe out the 1% or less of the ones that do without significant environmental impact since the things that eat mosquitoes aren’t choosy about which ones so you really are just reducing their available food by like 1%, and even some of that will probably be backfilled by other species of mosquitoes since the ones that bite people don’t only bite people.


Different take: be afraid of death. When I’m driving I’m afraid of crashing into the other cars. I don’t obsess over it, but a healthy fear is a good thing. Fear is not intrinsically bad, and some things are scary and that’s okay as long as that fear doesn’t rule you
The average snake has 1 penis. Only 50% of snakes have penises. Snakes have two dicks.
