    I wonder how many of them are from North Korea? Because, living under a dictatorship in NK must be really dehumanizing.

    You know, I cannot wait to be off this god forsaken world. Death can't come enough. What's it gone to, when the very people we're to "trust" are thrown into their own chaos like this.

    What good is justice when we have assholes like this guy? A convicted murder is on the stand, guilty as charged but..."YOUR HONOR...I...I HAPPEN TO NOT LIKE YOU AND BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE YOU, THIS GUY SHOULD BE SET FREE AND IN FACT, I WILL SABOTAGE MY CASE TO MAKE SURE HE IS FREE!" fuckstick comes up in defense.

    Vote Democrats if you want to still see America, struggle, but still go on.

    Vote Republicans if you want to see America die faster.

  • snownyte snownyte Now 100%

    I don't recall there being a item limit. Which is unfortunate because the people who have boatloads of carts and their carts already loaded. They're the most fucking slowest ever that they even give old people a run for their money. Slowly raising items to scan. Slowly putting them in bags. Slowly paying. Slowly moving the fuck out of the way as they try navigating a heavy cart with all of the junk that they'll barely like as soon as it gets home.

    Fuck them.

    Christianity is going to be easy.

    I like other mythologies because they're interesting, they've got a lot of gods and a lot of other cultures.

    Christianity only has Jesus, Moses, God and the Virgin Mary going for it. The mythology is kinda boring and very contradictory of itself. People prefer to cherry pick verses and everything to believe out of than it's intention.

  • What's the most cynical profession ever ?

    Politician would definitely win. You have to really removed yourself out to be even remotely likeable if you want votes. You have to spend like crazy campaigning. You have to go around from town to town, actively making promises you know you won't keep. You lie your face off in every debate you're in.

    Then if you finally reach a position, it's literally like a cushy job with, somehow, the bare minimum requirements. The worst you can do is just not fulfill your promises but then again, you lied enough anyways so what does it matter? You could get into trouble with authorities but again that depends on position and some political positions give you diplomatic immunity and if you're in one of those, then go ahead and break nearly all the laws short of killing people.

    Politicians' key things to do is just talk, write on paper, sit for prolong periods to vote on things and basically just rely on other staff to do all of the dirty work for you. All at the expense of those they govern.

  • Don't get your hopes too high
  • snownyte snownyte Now 100%

    Lemmy's admins is partially at fault here. Like, you go into the Fediverse to give users refuge from the burnout and dissastifaction as to what they have seen and experienced on bigger social media platforms. Where distrust is at an all time high.

    And then you go and decide to host your main announcements over on a platform where people have stirring feelings of contempt for the platform that is centralized. You are going to alienate your audience.

    I don't claim to be an expert either, but it's kind of a no-brainer to see what addiction is and what it does to people. Really simple stuff.

    You really like spamming that "slippery slope" term, don't you? It's like your ultimate go-to for feeling like you're superior. Just wait until you use it in a context where you'll look like a dumbass, one of these days in where it doesn't fit.

    That'd be like giving an alcoholic a pint by the end of the week to reward their alcoholic behavior that they'd want out of.

    That'd be like giving money to a gambling addict as they promise to 'pay you back' for the loan you've given them.

    My point is, enabling people's worst habits is always a bad idea.

    And how can you guarantee for certain that after awhile of these AI-generated CP crap, that they eventually wouldn't want the real thing down the road and therefore, attempt crimes?

    Your solution is just dumb altogether.

  • I hate it when people on social media, dare ask questions when you know they're fishing for personal information/ammo on people to exploit. Like asking for people's dark secrets. Why do you want to know? Is there a fetish to this? Nobody is going to be dead serious, they're just going to give softball answers and why should they trust you, random stranger online? And I hate money-based questions. Unless I am given a large sum of money or if any of the money scenarios where I am given money comes true, I'm not going to answer these questions because I'm tired of fantasizing about something that will never likely happen in my life. You ask what I'd do with $10,000? Give it to me and I'll show you. Otherwise, don't ask.

    In the past week and a half, I've noticed Reddit behaviors starting to try and poison all of the places that people are taking refuge in to get away from the toxicity, myself included. They've started to DDoS Lemmy for a while, which is a Reddit thing to do and what they're notorious of doing whenever they feel they don't like something. And now they've been trickling in numbers, these incredibly toxic users that behave as they would on Reddit. The reckless shitposting, derailing open civil discussions with unfunny and irrelevant jokes. The downvote brigading and banding together to get you banned. This exact thing has happened to me on Lemmy, that I had to leave because the toxicity was gradually building. We should reject Reddit toxicity in general, tell them they don't have a place here or anywhere. They know where they can dump their shit in, but they feel that because they've made mountains of it, that they've got to come over to other places and do it all over again. I left Reddit because the toxicity levels have gotten unbearable. I really am yearning for a place where I can talk in and not be antagonized. I'm sure others are too.
