Yup! I don’t miss the latter half at all. There’s still plenty of stupid walking around Lemmy but it’s manageable.

Yup, the porn is lacking. I think part of the problem is all gay porn gets downvoted on World even if it’s posted on LemmyNSFW, and the one posted on World is simply not welcome. I tried but it didn’t catch on so I let it be. :/

Don’t know if you know but we have hide on read in the settings, but I also wish it worked like on Reddit.

Eek! Use a spoiler tag, you scared the Bejesus out of me with that thing.

Ain’t no way his middle name is Dilbert. The Pope probably died laughing when he heard.

Sparkling vice president was not on my political bingo card for this administration.

Me stutter? No think so!

Oh, you didn’t have to edit your comment. I was joking and didn’t meant to shame you. It’s good for building vocab for us ESLs so I did appreciate it.

the average cellphone user here is still using the equivalent of a Moto G2 or Samsung J2

I guess it depends on where you live in LATAM. Most of my friends and acquaintances own newer iPhones and fancy Androids. I’m the only one stuck with a G8. 😅

We used to huck em at each other’s nuts

Never change, kids

This is not about arguments, bro. Or which ones do you mean? And safe spaces are meant to be non-confrontational. You can disagree, but you do it respectfully, without smug attitudes.

Pfft, I’d say overly aggressive to a fault. It’s not a good thing when they’re banning people for a passing comment where the worst offence is “gatekeeping” rather than something that matters.

It’s the sexist comments, boomer humor, male-centric views, the mansplaining, the chauvinism, the micro-aggressions, lack of empathy from a lack of perspective, the oversimplification without nuance, etc. All that generally makes women uncomfortable and sometimes it’s a bit much. Sometimes you want to forget those exist and focus on what matters to you with like-minded people.

It’s the same for us gay folks. I know I can’t just bring up whatever gay topic in a straight group where not everyone can relate, offer their first hand experience, or might find it weird because it’s not part of their lives.

Trying to concentrate similar people to discuss common topics is, at the very worst, a constructive division.

No! Why would you do that? When you can eat them instead

Words to live by, brother

How do you mean there is no system? What’s your basis?

I also think that well-regulated capitalism with social programs is the way to go. It’s so fucked that the US ruled on shit like Citizens United and moved away from that.
