Highly recommend watching the documentary "Benda Bilili!" about a group of street musicians in Kinshasa, DRC. They're mostly paralyzed due to childhood polio, but it's a very uplifting doc. They even sang a lovely song on their debut album about it called Polio.

Imagine knowing the power dynamic between a world famous star and a teenage fan, and then blaming the fan. Some people's moral compass is screwed beyond repair.

Nah, I don't hate you, you're not significant enough to me to hate. And whether you want to believe it or not, I do feel sorry that human beings are forced to endure hardships that are imposed on them, like a terminal illness for example.

I just find you to be a bit sad and pathetic, completely unrelated to your self declared illness, which I was unaware of until today and which in any case is irrelevant to the conversation at hand. And you just keep finding new ways of validating that assessment.

I'm done with this conversation, I think I made myself about as clear as I am able to do.

Hey, if you truly are terminally ill in some way, I'm very sorry for that. But also, it's shameful to retreat and hide behind "I'm gonna die in four years, so you're a bad person for calling me out on my bullshit" after you've been chastising people everywhere. Being terminally ill doesn't give people a cart blanche to act in any way they want and not get called out for it. If the discourse on Lemmy is too much, you could also stop being a mod, stop acting holier than thou, or stop using Lemmy altogether and enjoy your time offline. Here, you're not a terminally ill person, you're flying squid the mod. If you can't take the heat, you should consider getting out of the kitchen instead of crying foul when you get called out.

Isn't it odd how people in random threads repeatedly seem to not like you, because of your moderating? To a degree that your name pops up anytime someone wants an example of a shitty mod? If everyone you meet is an asshole, perhaps you're the asshole? But no, it's not you that's out of touch, it's the children who are wrong.

Who says you're not allowed to? Regular users don't have the ability to ban you. But you have the ability to ban users, an ability you abuse regularly with what looks like a pitiable "I am the king of .world" god complex. It's sad that you seem to lack the bandwidth to understand how you as a mod are different to regular users. But it explains a lot.

And no one is forcing you to reply. We will post wherever we want, and bitch about whatever we want, anywhere we want. You seem to feel like you actually are .world, so go ahead and ban everyone who doesn't bow down to arbitrary garbage. No wonder no one ever has anything positive to say about you squid, it sucks to suck. Be better.

It's delay, deny and depose, right?

What 'leftist' supports Biden?! The political compass in the US is..... Special I guess? There's no 'left' on the mainstream political spectrum in the US as far as I can see. Libs are not leftists by any standard in any country outside of the US. The Dems are to the right of the right coalition in charge of my country right now.

The IDF just announced that they've discovered a Hamas command and control center under Jimmy Wales' khouse. It'll be dealt with accordingly.
