Are you drunk? What the hell are you talking about? Showing your ass? Respect being demanded? Kissing my ass? Who was whining? Who is “any of you”?

:/

The general rule for “BestOfLemmy” is to be an appropriate place for a Lemmy beginner to get a feel of Lemmy in general. Yall are somewhat forgiven for the heated topic, but its not a complete pass. Try to keep the perspective of “newbies to Lemmy are stopping by here first”. And think about how you’d like to present yourself to them.

This is what you want new people to see? “vote for my candidate or you hate America”? Propaganda bullshit? I’m sure I’ll write in a candidates name as I do every four years as, once again, neither major party is worthy of my vote, but the arrogance of people like you makes me want to vote for Trump out of spite.

You can have mental problems while also being an asshole.

I’m an early gen Y. I knew maybe 4 people who had a cell phone, and only one of them could record a 30 second, shitty quality video. Kinda glad phones weren’t in constant use when I was in school.

No, we’re not. It’s not a coincidence that soon after occupy wallstreet the culture war was cranked up to 11. Gotta give the wealthy and the media credit. They have successfully, and quite easily turned the plebs against each other.

You tell 'em, best friend.

You people always make the same excuses.

“No! It’s not the people I align with who are violent! It’s the paid actors! No, it’s the Feds!”

You have absolutely no evidence that all of the violence is being committed by “zionist infiltrators”.

I’m sure there are some rednecks who call it that, but I’d be interested to know if there is a single, modern day public school text book that calls it that.

This is my favorite argument.

Episode is so stupid, I can’t not laugh.

Not OP, but please, any answer you get, including mine, research for yourself. Most will just push their own opinion as fact. Or pass off someone else’s opinion as fact.

In many cultures around the world, these terms are interchangeable. In the US, they were (and for many/most, still are) the same thing until not too long ago. When people were doing gender reveal parties 20 years ago, no one was correcting them that’s it’s a “sex reveal not gender reveal”.

The modern usage of “gender” didn’t exist until the 1950s, popularized by John Money, and if you want to research that deviant pervert, be my guest.

One of my first “hacking” a device was putting Rockbox on a 4 gb Samsung MP3 player in 2010. This device wasn’t meant to play/watch videos, but Rockbox unlocked that capability. It had a tiny screen, but still.

Reddit Lemmy moment.

If that’s what I meant then I would have simply said that. If that’s what you choose to believe, so be it. Most observant people can see this is a rather large echo chamber. It’s really obvious.

There’s very little quality on Lemmy. It lacks diversity. It’s quite authoritarian left. Tankies under every rock. Even in non-politics communities. I still use a forked version of Boost to lurk reddit. But as someone else said, if never recommend Lemmy to anyone I actually know.

“Right wingers”? Who? Some former presidential hopeful and some lady named Laura? We need to set a number when some “journalist” says a group of people are saying/doing something. 40, 50 people. I don’t know. A few turds on Twitter hardly qualifies. Election season is certainly heating up.
