I just meander without purpose, going whichever way feels good. The unaimed arrow never misses.

“They’re all…”

All credibility lost.

That’s anecdotal, not data.

This looks like a ham-fisted corporate propaganda pic, so yes.

Internet moderation needs to be performed dispassionately. It’s administration, not leadership. But still, it appeals to power-tripping, self important assholes who have no interest in curating a functional community but instead ensuring everyone thinks and acts exactly like they do. The larger lemmy gets, the more of these awful moderators make up the moderation team. There is no mechanism in place to prevent this. I don’t even know how such sa mechanism would work, but as soon as one is figured out, the Internet will be a better place.

The Last Kingdom. Better than Vikings.

Mrs. Maisel is one of the funniest shows I’ve seen.

A Dutch one I got from my Oma: “It’s as if the angels upon my tongue have pissed”. It means “yum”.

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying you don’t need to be an asshole to disagree. You don’t need to “tear down” beliefs and “not play nice”. Being rude to people for being wrong just makes them dig deeper into being wrong out of defensiveness. It isn’t about edification, it’s about finding an excuse to be mean.

That said, other people’s education is not my responsibility. Taking the time and energy required to correct a random stranger about what shape the earth is isn’t going to change the world but it will take a toll on me. Being wrong doesn’t make them a bad person. Being a jerk to them for believing so does. Believing in a flat earth a symptom of fundamentally flawed reasoning skills that I don’t have the time or energy to deal with. If someone believes the earth is flat, I’ll politely disagree and state my opinion, but ultimately I’ll let them do them. Who cares. I choose my friends, they won’t make the cut.

So you’re an asshole, using religion as an excuse to berate and bully people, got it.

The vibraphone wants a word. Lionel Hampton is spinning in his grave.

Why not?

There are more compatible people for you out there, life is too short to waste on someone with whom you have this many issues after only 1 date.

Your reach and mass are doing you way more favours than vulnerabilities in a violent situation.

Honestly, especially games made by big, publicly traded companies. They make games based on marketing algorithms. Buying good games only improves the algorithm.

HVAC. Takes just as much to learn as other trades but you make way more money.

Dude isn’t quite there yet. The phrase “I fuck dudes” has only one interpretation still.

There are still lots of reasonable women who don’t want to be called dude as it is still associated with masculine people.
