That’s how I’ve been pronouncing it in my head when I read it.

I still say “Twitter” though because that and the gulf of Mexico are the only things I feel are okay to deadname.

Living in an echo chamber can make one pretty deaf to life’s real problems.

Even IF we are ALLOWED to vote next year and beyond, and IF we manage to pull our heads out of our asses, we will be fixing this mistake for decades.

And if we aren’t allowed to vote… Well, I hope we remember the cure for fascism soon. Actually strike that, it implies I’m willing to wait 1-3 years to find out, I want the people to remember the cure now.

I can only imagine what bullshit I’m going to hear over the next few years about why the US isn’t doing well but the EU and Canada are.

When someone informs him it’s named after a person he will demand that this domestic terrorist be brought in for impeachment and deported, not understanding why none of that makes sense

Literally more expensive than every computer I’ve assembled put together.

Bravo, I’m sure the vfx departments of both studios that buy one will love it! (Is joke pls no yell)

“just doing my job” isn’t really relevant when your job is literally destroying democracy to assist a fascist neo-nazi regime

Yes, quitting “in protest” is an option, but why do that when you can just collect a paycheck and be a shitty as possible at your job until you get fired?

“oh sure thing boss I’ll get right on this deletion thing” 6 days of fucking around on the fediverse later, websites still unchanged “oh yeah I’m working on it, top priority!”

I get fear of retribution if they figure out you’re doing it on purpose to sabotage efforts but like… How many people are actually bothering?

I can’t imagine someone in the firing squad trying to say “I was just doing my job”, it’s not the same thing as the guy working in the lunchroom. The only difference in my opinion is the firing squad kills people and the guy at the computer kills information, democracy, morality, common sense etc…

You can’t say you were just doing your job when your job is “destroy this information”

Yes, it’s “just a small part” but even the Great Wall of China is made of smaller bricks/slabs. The whole can’t exist without the separate pieces.

I’m a little rambly, apologies. I hope I’ve made a coherent point.

Exactly what I was thinking.

When you’re cut off from any help, you ARE your own help. Don’t wait for something unthinkable to happen, this person has made it clear they don’t respect you or boundaries, and have made threats.

It’s 9v1, if you’re scared just wait until they’re asleep. Kick them out the door, lock it, and they can try walking their happy ass back to civilization. from Antarctica

Don’t bother looking for a body.

I think you hit the nail on the head with that “you just read the title” and now they’re mad for being called out.

Embarrassment can cause people to lash out in irrational ways.

Apparently that sort of thinking makes you a teenager with no world experience. At least that’s what I’ve been told I sound like.

The moral high road is filled with corpses.

random

It’s not random. It’s definitely purposeful.

I do understand what you are saying.

Soon you can’t even safely upvote without expecting a random ban.

Someone yesterday ot the day before posted a screenshot of their ban for “up voting non-violent Luigi content”

The ban said “although you didn’t post the bad content you up voted it and that’s bad and you’re bad”

finitebanjo

This one. Sorry for the confusion.

Why exclude “somewhat positive”?

Because they’re making their argument in bad faith, or they stopped after getting the part they wanted and didn’t bother looking any further.

Genuinely… It wasn’t before???

You can check out any time you want.

But you can never leave.

As an American who remembers 2016-2020…

NO FUCKING SHIT, SHERLOCK

Reality is hostile to conservative opinions.

I love when conservatives pull the “you’re not being very tolerant” to me. BITCH I NEVER SAID I TOLERATED STUPID also tolerance of nazis is how you get more nazis.

Old people and overreacting to normal things because new ideas are scary and confusing

Name a more iconic duo

Her logic IS undeniable.

Every single part of this comment just screams “It just wouldn’t be proper!”

And I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to care about what’s “proper” when half my friends now have reasonable fear for their lives, not just “comfort of living” just because they are lgbtq+ living in deep red country.
