LGBT people can throw other LGBT people under the bus too, you are not exempt

Another person who is perfectly willing to throw LGBT people under the bus. We see you for what you are stop pretending moral superiority.

I feel similarly often, but I think it has started to push me towards growing out of spending so much time online. Lemmy definitely has not filled the same niche reddit did, in some ways it’s better but I am often disappointed what I see here as well. Even things like youtube I have started to watch less lately. It all is just starting to feel like hyper processed slop, like what am I really getting out of this thing I feel attached to?

The only social I really still enjoy lately is mastodon and that’s because it’s possible to make real connections with people there, it’s not about making viral posts that tons of people see. Though clearly I still visit lemmy, I find myself often wondering if it’s worth it.

I feel better consuming less social media, feel healthier. I have read so many books over the last year, just last month I read 16 books though that is an outlier. Not just fiction too, though that is the vast majority, but also pure math books. Smoking a lot less weed, I use to smoke it every day, I was high every day for years and years but now im close to just giving it up completely I think. I have started to exercise and eat better too and I am more willing to just be alone with my thoughts. Sometimes its painful but I think its good for me.

I don’t think it’s all down to just less social media, but it has been helping for sure.

Part of me often feels like if I don’t check social media im like doing something wrong, not participating in the world, like I /need/ to stay informed. But social media isn’t going to save the world, i’m not actually helping anyone or anything by reading and commenting on posts. Its an illusion of participation, a honey pot that just sapps away my time and my mental health and doesn’t give me the things I actually want like real human connection.

Not being able to talk about capitalism in a tech community is like having a fishing community and not being able to talk about how the waters got shit in it.

Smarties :3 tbh not a bad name for such a cutie 🥰

Transphobia on lemmy with 400 upvotes… this website is getting worse every day

Same sentiment as all the posts constantly saying they hope places like texas secede or that we should just split the country in to two and give them all the red states.

And then the cis/het person gets offended that you pointed out that their dumb not well thought out idea is actually harmful and say you are being hyperbolic…

Tbh lately i am just so fuckin done with cis people… Im white and in the past when a black person would say they never really trust white people ever i did feel a bit of hurt but i get it now… its how i feel about cis/het people… i dont trust them, any of them…

Some of us have 2 boobs and 2 testicals :)

Lemmy going 2 seconds without complaining about tankies challenge impossible…

this website has defo been infiltrated by right-wing groups

not gay, not trans… not even vegetarian.

how unfortunate

When you’re accustomed to privilege equality feels like oppression.

As far as I understand, Anarchism doesn’t mean no rules, it means no rulers. No hierarchy of people.

The rules would be set up in such a way to actively discourage individual accumulation of power as much as possible. But a system like that could still have rules, just enforced collectively instead of power being parceled out to individuals. I think there are a lot of practical ways you can try to reduce power accumulation, like term limits is a very obvious example that is a concept we are familiar with. Or like ways of reducing wealth inequality can also be seen as a way of trying to reduce hierarchy.

I don’t know all the theory, I honestly feel like that kinda shit isn’t always the most useful anyways. But there are obvious things we can do now to reduce hierarchy and they seem like things that would be good. Having an ideological stance that hierarchy is bad, and we should reduce it as much as possible… that’s Anarchism.

Probably keeps up with inflation better than the min wage.

I think the biggest flaw with Bernie is he turns into a cheerleader for the democratic nominee after he loses the primaries. He did it for Hillary and he does it with Biden. I understand he is doing it because he thinks trump would be worse, but at the same time it kinda hurts the progressive movement and messaging. It feels like we are giving up our progressive goals just to elect Biden, or else suffer an even worse option. It kills the enthusiasm when both the options suck and it feels inevitable that the one we actually want will lose or has lost already.

Don’t get me wrong tho I love Bernie, but this is my biggest gripe with him.

Flipwitch: Forbidden Sex Hex :D

Very horny and actually pretty decent metroidvania, lots of jiggly titties

This is how they justify half the evil shit they do… make up lies saying the left is doing it too so they need to do it to make it fair.

I am also always immensely confused how gamers don’t see valve taking 30% of pc sales and not recognize that as greedy shit bag behavior.

We all know when google or apple does it on their app store its bad, or when spotify pays artists pennies its bad, or when actors are striking because of its shady residuals payout from streaming its bad. But when king gaben does it, its fine perfectly ok. Even though game devs are some of the most overworked and underpaid workers in tech. And then people wonder why games suck lately.

I said prob more detail than ya want… I tried to warn you, if you clicked then you wanted to know

a caffeine pill…
