I think it’s totally okay to ban you for crap like that. Maybe that’s why nobody makes me a mod any more 🤔

Anyway, you’re a transphobe.

raises trans, linux-using paw ^.^

Thanks for bringing this to my attention :3

Am afraid to even check to see whether my state’s leaning friendly or fascist v.v Purple seemed better than red but… ugh. Horrible world, horrible hunams all over. Bleeeeegh, I say :|

My system (a laptop, all I’ve got 'cause I had to skitterflee from doomness v.v ) can’t run much so I’m kinda stuck at “playable” framerates on old games :-\ I kinda hate to admit it but I’ve been playing Borderlands 2 … the Linux version, 'cause the Windows version, which has a bunch of patches and mod support, just doesn’t run well enough for me 😭 Can’t even get any DLC, though I’ve been really wanting to try Gaige. May be too burnt out to enjoy it any more anyway.

Before that was Titan Quest, which just doesn’t really play like I wish it did. Played it a bunch anyway. Bleh.

So now I’m just sitting around trying to avoid losing my mind to boredom or despair. flailyskitters around in circles 😵‍💫

Here’s a funky quad-simultaneous-wordle thingle @.@ https://www.merriam-webster.com/games/quordle/

Crappy “family” bits feel very familiar v.v Mine always insisted that doctors are all quacks and the psych docs are the quackiest. They even seemed offended when I took a sociology elective 🙄 A few days ago was the six month anniversary of me coming to this house ( 😅 !) and I’m still learning how to live with people who aren’t constantly suffocating, crushing, bleeding the life out of me.

Sorry I don’t think I’ve got any help for you, but maybe some commiseration is nice 🤷 😅 😕 I wish you luck getting into a healthier life!

This article stinks of ignorance and bellendness. Complaining about “modern” or “new” terms is always a huge red flag to me, so now I have to wonder, for example, whether the The Bright Sword character referenced does in fact use she/her. Oh noes, the setting wouldn’t have this one word! It does, of course, have the entirety of any English dictionary other than that word, though. Just the one is icky, like all of those pronouns the woke crowd keep _shoving down our throats! But the woke crowd don’t exist in that world! The whole damn world is drastically different but this one conveniently common language is almost identical! Couldn’t have been that they say “are with” instead of “have,” noooo, it’s one coincidentally “political” word that’s gotta go. That’s the one critical difference in “a fantasy setting divorced entirely from the real world” where they’d suddenly not say things the same way we would!

Does this person give a damn at all and have a crappy take, or just feel like spewing another “omfg woke newspeak agenda” wall of whinge onto… er, Forbes. Not the place I’d look first for sensible discussion of social matters. I guess a click is a click.

Hey Vassily, if Russia gets to call in a buddy to fight for them then why doesn’t Ukraine?

Lot of bad jokes being told these days :-\

I don’t know who that is; I’m guessing some popular(ish?) streamer or YouTuber or something. Makes sense that people like that could popularize some undercooked ideas or ideologies.

looks at +5-20 votes Is there an actual reason this comm’s full of fools? Everything actually leftish in “Lefty Memes” gets downvoted. It’s kindof a bad joke at this point.

Imean, for one thing there’s the issue of “why are you here if the actual topic of this place disgusts you?” but then there’s the fact that so many people are eager to jump on and fight over things that aren’t even being said. It’s like a big pack of trolls but I don’t think they even know it.

People come to a meme community and expect a deep, well-reasoned essay on the state of things and the best ways forward from one captioned image :-\ Is there not a dichotomy between nuance and memes?

The comments around here are just wild flailings based mostly on assumptions. There’s nothing to argue with. It’s a picture with some text on it, popularized as the simplest form of humour. Looking at the comments around here now feels like watching a bunch of people arguing with a dog. There’s really not so much being said.

This is kinda baffling, is what I’m getting at. It looks like almost nothing’s been said so people are furiously attacking things that haven’t. 🤷

I’ma second MN, but a little norther: Duluth :3 It’s extremely white up here but all’ the hunams are very nice and helpy, and Essentia is a lovely health system as far as I’m able to see (rather, the people in it are wonderful :3 ). There are waitlists for everything, though. Uhhhmmm… dunno if you’re as poor as I am but services for stuff relevant to that are pretty available. Easier if you can handle phone calls. Responses are mostly by mail.

Also, we have pride events that bring critters up from Minne(apolis) so I think probably reasonably pridey <.< I struggle to go outside much though :-\ Oh, and we’re on the biggest of the 10,000ish lakes in the state ;3

Also, like the Twin Cities have Minne and the boring one, the Twin Harbors have Duluth and the crappy cheesy one 😅 At least, I hear the water’s bad over there. Our tap water rocks! Is delicious!

Anyway, is nice here I think. wiggles farewellily, skitters away

“Meh, another update post”
…
“Wait, I use that. What’s new?” 😅

Sooo does Ukraine get to tag in a buddy too? Papa Putin, play fair now.

I’m guessing that’s not what he’s going for here.

expected to be used in an engineering role, not in a combat role

Sure, and the people they’ve been recruiting for “a work-study program in fields like hospitality and catering” are doing what now? I suppose we’ll see if North Koreans start popping up in the “Guy smekalkas himself a UAV-dropped bomb to the dome” videos.

we guarantee anonymity

You help us, we do not accidentally touch you

1. If you can choose to not do it, it’s not an accident
2. How are you going to avoid “accidentally” hitting someone whose identity and location you don’t know? Makes more sense to ask for civilian location info if avoiding them is your goal, no?

Not sure this is legit, though. Russian smileys don’t have eyes 🤔

(I’m just yapping and nitpicking the OP pic, don’t mind me unless you’re bored I guess 😅 )

A bunch of stuff I don’t recognize even with the name on it, lots of stuff that’s just the name itself. Visa’s in there twice. Bleh! Could’ve done better, I think.

That said, complaining that most people recognize more corporations than plants because we all hate nature and love corps is kinda ridiculous. I agree that humans generally are far too friendly to capitalism but recognizing, firstly, what’s present in the environment and secondly, threats present in the environment are important parts of human development. 80% of USians live in urban areas. I doubt this number is that much lower anywhere else the creator of that image would be complaining about. Which has more representation in urban areas: corporate logos or species of plants? Which is easier to learn the name of? (Hint: the pic in the OP shows numerous logos with company names in them)

I’m imagining a person comes by spraying herbicide and this person’s upset that I know the brand of the sprayer better than the plants that don’t grow where it goes.

Very agree here. Less and less is actually GNU, so by what metric do we have to include things? “GNU is an OS?” I’m running two at once? No, it’s three, some of this software comes from BSD. Or is it more? Maybe I’ve got tools developed on/from/for other OSes still! Hell, I’ve got Windows software on this system. Gotta tell everybody I’m running GNU and Linux and BSD and Windows and (…) 🤦

This naming “debate” is absurd.

Edit: I meant to say, it’s really getting too late to push the naming issue as a means of making people recognize how much of “Linux” is GNU, considering the connections are decreasing. Even the kernel builds with clang these days, GNU tools and libs get replaced… I don’t know that I’m happy about this, but it seems plausible (at a casual glance from a non-expert observer) that GNU’s practically on its way out. On the other paw, I’ll be glad to never hear about this naming “issue” again if everything GNU gets buried.

Not a fan of someone who uses the r-slur and makes a show of not being “woke,” but I agree that that list is utterly ludicrous. Flagging something like it’s practically unplayable because you can if you search for them find a couple of same-sex characters in the ass end of nowhere holding hands is kinda mind-blowing.

They even complained about someone claiming to be asexual. Seriously?? Someone not wanting sex is the big horrible Woke Agenda™ being shoved down poor, innocent Gamers™’ throats? Look here, it’s incels doing reverse wokism “making” a game engine because Real Men™ never use a premade one! Don’t think about why they would want to associate with a general-purpose game engine despite also claiming that every dev must make their own! Thinking is WOKE! You’ll turn gay if you think!

🤬 Baffling absurdity, I say!
