Different spaces of the fediverse are for sure

Especially Hexbear

That place is a toxic cesspool of genocide apologia as long as the genocide was done by a fascist that pays lip service to communism.

It’s classic whataboutism

It’s a diversion tactic

Basically the person you replied to was attempting to divert attention away from the topic at hand because they have no defense for the actions described

In short: “Bad thing happened over there what about that huh? How can you criticize X over here if Y happened over there?”

Our instance (Blahaj) was defederated for awhile but for some reason we’re federated again

And the admin has been silent on the matter since it was pointed out

It’s really annoying seeing their bullshit all over the place again

I’ve never had issues with Firefox on Android, and because I use Firefox on desktop I can sync my browsers between devices

Honestly I find it faster on my phone than chrome

The amount of people I knew who were like, “There’s no way Hillary could lose so I don’t need to vote,” or, “Bernie got fucked so I’m not voting out of spite,” were too damn high

The “best” part was seeing how low the voter turnout was in our district that typically leans blue, well in 2016 the turnout was hella low and it went hella red for the first time in a long time

Looking at raw numbers the red was pretty consistent from election to election but that year so many people who would vote blue didn’t vote that it swung the election

Felt bad but now those people I know haven’t missed a single election

Personally I typically type like that (and like this) due to typing like I speak

Stilted with many gaps

Sometimes with a lot of parentheses due to the scatter shot nature of my brain

But that’s a conversation for another time

My least favorite is when you go back to watch season 1, enjoy it, then watch the new season and you can’t even finish it due to how different it is

With the new free time you’ll be getting you’ll have plenty of time to practice

See that’s where a lot of people go wrong

Automate what you can but don’t tell anyone and don’t turn it in any faster

Make your deadlines and be one with the chill

Not only is it a great origin, that’s a fantastic article on it

Thank you so much for sharing

Correct

So basically what I’m saying is that there’s a lot of people gatekeeping what a meme is without understanding what a meme is

Or if they’re referring to the first of the definitions in the screenshot I shared, not understanding that different people can find things humorous

The biggest meme of all is our spoken languages

So, uh, yes.

Yes (IMO) it does count.

It was passed down for centuries in a non-gene based way among people

Hell one could argue that memes are as old as social constructs

So they could in all likelihood predate moden humans

Of course not, it’s not like it was a Mad Catz controller. Logitech is at least a little bit better than that.

The accuracy is a big part of it

Saying “We heard something in that multi square mile area that may be worth looking into” is way different than “We know exactly where and what it was”

And how quickly they could definitively identify what the sound was and where can play a big role in identifying capabilities of the systems at play and the how advanced they are

And of course knowing capabilities is a key part in developing systems to circumvent such systems

Basically what I’m trying to say in entirely too many words is that specifics matter a lot, especially to the military. And specifically knowing what someone is capable of can be used as a way of getting around it or using their own systems against them. Especially so that you know you’re not investing in systems research that is already defeated by anothers systems.

Not to mention that a lot of federal judges are people he literally put in power

At no point did I dispute the accusations, I simply asked out of curiosity why people say Empress is crazy.

As for why I referred to her as they, I honestly didn’t notice that I did. I typically use gender neutral terms when referring to people simply out of habit.

Gormadt, 10 months ago

I feel like I’m missing something here

Why do people say they’re crazy?

For context I have no idea who this “Empress” is

Gormadt, 10 months ago

A based take for sure

I’m planning to start supporting the instance I’m on soon due to how good of a job they’re doing

Unfortunately it seems so

But instant gratification go brr

Seriously though, the amount of people I ask “what kinds of hobbies do you have” and they reply that they don’t have any is honestly pretty sad

There’s a lot of hobbies that you can get into for really cheap to free, they just spend all of their free time on social media

Straight up when I had dental surgery due to some abscessed teeth and rotting jaw I had to pay in advance.

I asked, “What if I can’t pay today?”

As I stood there pale as a sheet, sweating like I was in the Sahara, shivering and nauseous from the infection they simply replied, “Then we can’t do the surgery today.”

I put it on one of credit cards knowing full well that it’d be at least a year before I paid it off.

I was back for another dental surgery 6 weeks later for more jaw being removed and teeth getting pulled as the infection came right back with a righteous fury.

I was given antibiotics with a warning that they would affect my hearing, liver, and kidneys. I was also told that if my pee turned brown, I turned yellow, or the infection got worse I was to immediately go to the ER and bring my antibiotics bottle with me so that they would know for sure what I was already taking so they’d know to just put me on an IV.

Edit: For those curious: those antibiotics worked (I can’t remember the name) but my hearing took weeks to be mostly back to normal. That year I spent a little over 10k on my jaw (those were the second and third dental surgery that year) because my health insurance refused to cover it so I had to lean on my dental insurance which quickly buckled under the weight.
