The fucking irony.

Nice, you’re +6 on mine. :) Good to see you 'round!

People usually call it Philly.

Because that’s where the White House is! /s

Happy cake day 🍑

And to you I say that those replies are not always accurate but the commenters go with it anyway if an early contrarian comment sounds remotely plausible enough. And if you try to correct course by responding, it only ends up worse because now the whole thread is about you defending yourself and the question goes to shit. People downvote and stop commenting, or worse, pille on. No thanks.

Sure but then I get someone making an unnecessarily critical and destructive comment and my post turns to shit and nobody participates anymore because they’re too fixated on the comment and start down voting the thread instead.

I recently made a post on AskLemmy and the third guy commenting just started casting doubts on what I shared even though it was an anecdote and it’s something that happens where I live. My story’s sole purpose was to generate interest and get people commenting. But nooo, I can’t do that because what happened is inconceivable in their country so it must be impossible everywhere else! Lemmy always knows best. Fuck it, nuked.

To be fair, the person shot & killed at the march was an accident trying to stop a shooter, and the kid who drove the car hurt at most one person who didn’t need emergency services. The one with a real agenda was the killer dressed as a cop who had delusions of killing 50+ without realizing he’d be hunted down and caught after the first.

Yes, they’re getting violent, and yes, they have plans, but don’t give them any more credit than they deserve and scare people. Don’t over- or underestimate your enemy.

Thank the programming gods for tree shaking.

Shake dat thicc tree for me, bb.

Well, of course! How else would it sell in this day and age?

We live in different worlds, but whatever.

But thanks for crashing the thread by casting some doubt. Now nobody will share their stories because they think it’s fake. 👍

Good point, I don’t know. According to him, they were seriously threatened, and they were fresh out of school. But note that our justice system used to be incredibly corrupt. For example, I know two people who have been incarcerated for over a year and extorted by police, and one other who was jailed to prevent him from running for office by the opposition.

Your secret’s safe with me!

Is this the woke-free AI they want?

Sorry, I’m just really frustrated to see it being repeated. But I understand if you’re concerned about the baby! My bad, but please please go if you can. 🙏

Same. I’ve actually turned down closeted Republican men who didn’t hesitate to tell me that they essentially wanted me to be their stay at home girlfriend… As a grown ass man. Fuck all that.

More defeatism to fulfill that self-fulfilling prophecy… 🙄

Almost. The tariffs should be working their magic any second now… Any second now…

Yeah, I remember in 2010 struggling to pay rent and groceries with a full time job in the US. So crazy.
