Oooof, I'm going to hope that's based in general on the meme!

If that is based on past experience, happy to learn more etc. I generally try to act as a reasonably conscientious fedizen, and basically try to stay in my own lane (though my lane does include memes etc I make...)

Ooooh that's a neat metric to help! I've been using an ever expanding system of notes but it's much more labour intensive than that!

Ahahaha, yeah I'm instantly a little suspicious when someone says they got permabanned for "nothing, absolutely nothing!"

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 2 points 16 hours ago

Oh absolutely. Heck, a good number of my friends are conservative.

I think maybe a lot of the nuance and consideration doesn't translate well to strangers online, so instead of seeking to understand we flip to fighting and without the context of a good friendship, we don't really know how to navigate those arguments online.

(Also, we don't have that filter of "oh, just don't get into X with Janet, you know she'll start yelling" for folks. Sp double whammy.)

I agree wholeheartedly with this.

I think on the Left we're our own worst enemy. Our far Left folks want to reject everything when it's imperfect/centrist etc whereas thr Far Right seem fine working with government etc and end up advancing their aims.

Personally, I'm also not sure how widely embraced our more socialist tendencies would get us. In a pretty Left leaning city like NY, Mamdami ran pretty much as our wet dream candidate and still couldn't hit 50% of the votes. And I think that our inability to see that a majority of the country may not agree with us really skews our perceptions.

Hmmm, I could've sworn my Firefox had ublock origin on windows but I might've screwed something up etc.

I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth though!

I used Firefox on windows with as much anti as stuff as I could find but they still snuck through.

I'm okay considering it a Linux miracle.

My favourite unexpected bonus from switching to Linux has been a completely ad free youtube experience. Not entirely sure why this magic is happening but I love it.

 

This band is an absolute blast, if you ever get the opportunity to see them I would recommend not squandering it.

Feels like I'm recovering from a night of Bratislavan absinthe.

 

I'm working on it. Maybe. Well, one day. Like when other Left of centre, anti trump, anti corpo type folks oppose the things I oppose in correct manner and degree, duh.

More just wanted to say fantastic username.

OP has commented 800+ times though, which, is modders of magnitude more than 99% of people in the world.

Maybe there was a less spiky way of making your point?

be the change you want to see

I'm absolutely guilty of it too so this as much for me as you but if we want more folks to engage, maybe we ought to try to be kinder to those who actually do.

Oh thank you!

Not sure if I've seen it since theatres but damn, with the dialogue I can almost hear it again.

 

What am I gonna do, start a war in the Middle East? Come on, I got more sense than that...

Yeah, I remember starting a war in the Middle East. Fuck yo Middle East!

(For those too young to remember the skit, google Dave Chappelle Rick James and enjoy!)

 
 

I keep seeing this on tv, had assumed it was a junior tournament but then saw Naylor playing and he's one of the handful of baseball folks I know. So unless things have gone really badly for him over the summer...

How do teams decide "yeah, they can play in that" versus "they need to play our spring training" ? Also, why the heck is Puerto Rico its own team?

I tried some googling but didn't get much there. Cheers yall!

 

"She has been named Kara by researchers, who are thrilled to see her in northern waters. "

To each their own, I'm going to remember every line of this article next time I'm surfing in Tofino... (Admittedly, I'm terrified of water monsters anyway.)

 
 

Was hoping for enough snow to take my friend's kid sledding but will settle for a few morning ski sessions (sans kid) while the cold lasts!

Gorgeous lil pixel art based game by a French developer (so yay, non American!) basically a modern Heroes of Might and Magic 2. I spent a lot of time just zooming at the world map and looking at things, all of which are beautiful pixel art.

Anyway, it's been going on sale and I figured folks in this community might appreciate it!

Apologies if stuff like this isn't the idea of the sub but I wanted to share.
