I know this isn’t really an option for most people but consider dropping Deloitte KPMG and all banks that aren’t cooperatives.

“Beam me up, Scotty!”

LifeOfChance, in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

My best line was when my wife tried being funny and asked “did you turn the stove off?” My response was “no” apparently and she actually called her friend to go check. I was just trying to rile her up like she was trying with me.

Buffaloaf,

Then say it again when you wake up

ReadingCat, in What is the name of your cleaning robot?

“Our Maya”, because that’s the name of my grandmother’s cleaning-lady we never met her, but we heard probably more stories about “her maya” than about my grandfather.

hperrin, in What do you think about the idea of ​​creating a fan fiction network based on ActivityPub?

If you build it, they will come.

Chetzemoka, in What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?

United HealthCare

Oh wait, you CAN’T boycott them. The ultimate monopoly.

ZagamTheVile, in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

I had to be in twilight, that’s where you’re basicilly out but can just barely understand what’s going on a bit. I was in and out and just absolutely baked. At one point I looked at the anesthesiologist and asked for a little more. He got concerned and asked if I could feel anything? I said “no, no I can’t. I’m just having a really good time”. I’m not sure because he was wearing a mask and all, but I think he grinned and I have zero memory from then.

glacier, in whats going on with the 'tankie' thing
@glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

There has been a lot of debate over the last ~200 years of history of socialism. Not everyone is in agreement on everything.

CatradoraSomething,

I mean yeah but aren’t yall supposed to team up at least when the goin get rough? But yeahhhhh I get what you getting at. Im jus all kinda new to this whole show.

glad_cat,

You’re confused. Most people here are neither communists nor tankies. You’re asking the wrong people.

CatradoraSomething,

huh, yall said you were leftists

glad_cat,

Never. Do you have a source for this ridiculous statement?

CatradoraSomething,

I mean I thought I got a vibe, and Im figuring out this whole federation lemmy thing, so I may have gotten it wrong. I mean several nice folks who answered my questions are leftists. Like Democratic Socialists that one dude was.

glad_cat,

So 1 guy is a democrat means that 8 billion people are communists? You’re still young, please stop taking drugs now.

CatradoraSomething,

I like how im a young one whenever yall just want me to be. I said I got a vibe, and I probably posted in the wrong place, is that a crime?

glad_cat,

You can still delete your whole post because it’s either a bad attempt at trolling, or a cringe fest that should have stopped a long time ago.

CatradoraSomething,

I just wanted to ask questions, but I see I did it wrong. Can I ask for a better place to ask around?

glad_cat,

Hexbear. They are the idiots you’re looking for, but you already knew that.

CatradoraSomething,

Hexbear? Where’s that? I thought we were on lemmy? And why would I already know that?

Alue42,

"left" is an encompassing umbrella term. You can't complain when you ask where the lemon squares are and people say "we didn't bring lemon squares" and your reply is "but you said you were bringing dessert!" Dessert=left in this analogy and lemon squares=tankie/communist.

I often remind people, also, that politics is an entire sphere of ideologies, and if you are only looking Left and Right you are missing and incredible amount of viewpoints and information.

In another comment, you compared coming up a viewing and fitting into a niche like looking over a menu when you could have had steak the whole time. You've forgotten that steak isn't everyone's favorite meal. And even for those that it is, there are still infinite ways to enjoy it: marinated and grilled, sauteed with mushrooms and gravy, seared with goat cheese and spinach, and so many more. Additionally, what sides, what appetizer, what dessert, what wine pairing..... All the different combinations you can think of are how many different combinations of viewpoints there are. There's no one-size-fits-all, even for people that call themselves the same thing.

And just because you have one perfect "meal" at one time in your life doesn't mean that you won't have a chance of taste later on, either as you learn new things, world events change, a New life stage in your personal life changes what you feel is important, or anything else, and that's OK.

aren't yall supposed to team up

@CatradoraSomething I mean no one else does that, so I don't see why you expect they would.

Catholics and Protestants and Westboro Baptists and Eastern Orthodox and Mormons aren't all teamed up together just because they're all basically Christian. Neither are the Sunnis and Shiites just because they're Muslim.

Any country that has a system that allows more than 2 political parties has a whole spectrum of them, both in terms of the left to right axis and the authoritarian to libertarian axis.

Nevermind, just saw this comment. Feel embarrassed I fell for this troll now.

CatradoraSomething,

Neither are the Sunnis and Shiites just because they’re Muslim.

I mean they all seem to team up when the yankees come knockin, and christians teamed up for the crusades I think. I mean Im not saying hold hands but fighting the big bad seems like the priority.

But that makes sense

CatradoraSomething,

thank ye, ill take a read

CatradoraSomething,

I guess im one of them tankie fellas now?

glad_cat,

You were from the first sentence of your post.

I’m trans. I like the red vibe.

It’s your hexbear alt account?

CatradoraSomething,

and this is why i made an account. Ya’ll act like its some fuckin spy shit, this is a computer for christ’s sake. Learn to get over yourself. Ya’ll haven’t even actually told me what one is, all of you keep saying different things!

glad_cat,

It’s funny how you failed to reply to my first sentence.

CatradoraSomething,

you only had a first sentence, thats what it was about?? Did you have a fuckin question mark where that period was?

glad_cat,

Bad trolling. Try to reply about something loosely related. Let’s try one more time:

I’m a trans communist and I know nothing about communism.

CatradoraSomething,

I’m a trans communist and I know nothing about communism.

what the hell?

what the hell?!

That was not in your first fucking comment, you edited you damn bitch

i didn’t know I was talking to a bunch of paranoid transphobes

glad_cat,

I edited nothing (or Lemmy would have shown it), and I only inferred that from the first sentence of your post. You can’t deny anything, you’re paranoid too.

CatradoraSomething,

doesn’t fucking change your goddamn transphobia, i get the comments about me being crazy or posting in the wrong place, but what the fuck does being trans have to do with anything? Im not even a fucking red!

glad_cat,

I like the red vibe

Pathetic dog whistle.

Also there is no transphobia, you’re paranoid. I said that you should educate yourself about communism and homosexuality.

CatradoraSomething,

then why the fuck did you mention me being trans, I never said I was a commie, I stated multiple times that im just interested. You’re avoiding the question you freak. Tell me why being trans has fucking anything to do with it or im taking this to the admins you fuck.

glad_cat,

What question?

Also being trans or homosexual is strictly forbidden in communist countries. You should know that already.

chooglers, in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

take care of Andy for me

Bonehead, in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

Just softly sing "weeeeeeeee..." as you go under.
