Don’t judge until you try some ghost dick for yourself.

I use my cell data in my bedroom because it’s more stable than my router connection. I wish I had control of the router, but it’s not my house. I’d just move the router to a more centralized location instead of the farthest corner.

Back before I moved, I kept the router at one of the reduced power modes it had built in(can’t remember the exact settings) since the room it sat in was the best room for signal distribution, you still got full signal anywhere you went.

I grew up around where he was born.

I may not be related by blood but it certainly rubbed off on me.

I feel the need for some good old fashioned southern BBQ.

I’ve gotten “I don’t care” as a response too many times when I present facts and studies.

Education and understanding means fuckall when the person has no interest in understanding, especially when their entire worldview depends on them not understanding.

See, personally I assumed that’s why it was in the “unethical” life pro tips, but the ethicallity of cutting off vulnerable minds to fascist propaganda rounds it up to “ethical”, in my opinion.

Well, I know what other video I’m never watching.

And people wonder why I don’t like being around any vehicle that carries things…

If it’s what I’m thinking of, camera footage of a vehicle interior.

Driving down the highway, going under an overpass when a brick gets tossed by some kids and goes through the window.

Passenger hit, husband is driving and screams.

You know that scream they mention in The Princess Bride? That “only someone experiencing ultimate suffering” can make?

If you know, you know.

I tried being a moderator on a forum once, and after alerting admins and the FBI about csam less than a week in, I decided I was done being a moderator.

It was a forum for RC stuff, mostly diy rc planes.

Unfortunately, therapy only helps you cope, it doesn’t let you forget.

I’ve had more conversations than I can count with people I would never be able to talk to in person, all using our own native languages.

The original posts are in English, people comment in their native language, and I use a translator, then respond in my own language. Is the translator perfect? No! Neither is theirs.

With the way most translators I’ve used work, it’s easier for the non-native speaker to try translating, since the translator might try and use different words that entirely change the meaning, but likely list possible alternatives. A native e speaker will understand the alternatives while a non-native speaker probably won’t.

That’s my thought process anyway.

Never had anyone who wasn’t pearl-clutching or virtue-signaling complain about it. And I’ve had tons of conversations with people I’d never have talked to otherwise.

Nothing says “we are a free and open community that welcomes others” like moderators banning discussion of poor moderation.

Yes, I do understand what the rule is there for. No that doesn’t make it any less hilariously shitty.

I mean, that should be the default for everyone, at all times regardless of whether they want to charge you for access. It’s a garbage company run by garbage people and has done more harm to humanity than could ever be measured.

People in these comments act like the computer will just stop working.

Oh look, another person intentionally conflating ANTI-ISRAEL with ANTISEMITIC

They are not the same, and if you think they are then you might wanna check on your racist thoughts. Not all jews are Israeli, and not all Israelis are Jewish. The only ones who benefit from you thinking this is the Israeli government that uses this to shield themselves from criticism of their genocidal war crimes.

Had that happen on Amazon and ebay multiple times

I always tell them I’ll only increase it one star and the reason for the change will be the first thing anyone sees in the review, even above the original review.

So far I’ve only had one taker.

Go punt kick the first fish back into the ocean as it tries to waddle it’s fat ass out of the water.

I know that’s not how evolution works but I can dream… Life would likely be vastly different given such a long period of time with something like that changing either way.

At least you all can get your family to use it.

I can’t even get my spouse to use it unless she thinks what we are talking about might be illegal where we are (it usually isn’t)

I’ve tried convincing family to use it, but all that happens is I just never hear from them until I see them in person or they call me.

They don’t even feel the need to back up their Amazon Kindle collection before they get cutoff from it… Thousands of dollars wasted if they ever lose access to the account.

Calling out reposts obsessively is weird to me.There’s more people who have not seen something than who have seen it, at least on the internet. I think most people have seen the moon…

But if I ever have a problem where the vast majority of the posts I see are reposts, I’ll simply block the channel for awhile. It costs me nothing, and takes less effort than typing out a comment complaining in every repost.

It’s the “STOP LIKING WHAT I DON’T LIKE” meme, come to life. And I’d rather let people have their fun. Doesn’t cost me, nor anyone else, a thing.

Weird, I just had a bunch of mls tell me just the other day that a comment I made was strawmanning a hypothetical tankie telling me I’m wrong.

And here we see yet another ml strawmanning.

Super Weird.

All I see is a bunch of people saying this is dystopia nightmare shit, and so far the only person I’ve seen do anything other than call it what it is is the ml comparing this to China.

Surveillance states are bad anywhere, you won’t get many people arguing that city wide government facial recognition is a good thing.

I love when people say they feel dumb because they didn’t know something, because then I get to share xkcd with them, too.
