OMG, fuckin sold! LMAO

and getting all hot and bothered in a meme thread over it is any beter? all youre doin is makin it even more obvious that youre being a prick abot it

Just be sure to post some memes to !bikinibottomtwitter@lemmy.world !

Oof hell desk, yea I left that behind as fast as I could. It was nice and all being chill not worrying about budgets, policies, “IT business alignment” and such

But god damn if I had to deal with Beatrice’s weekly hour+ password reset call one more time I was going to lose it lol

Not feature complete, needs to be tied with a RNG to determine when TARIFF ON and TARIFF OFF

I thought being a gamer meant I was prepared. " No “Get off the Nintendo” or “just pause it” from me I naively thought, “I’ll be able to play all their games and even enjoy the game!” I was such an idiot.

Nothing could have prepared me for the rapid clip “game surfing”. What’s worse, I can remember how to play them all just fine from my own childhood, but it’s the constant in and out of memory that gets me lol

I know what it feels like to be RAM LMAO

Oh yea I remember now lol

You were going off because I…cracked a joke on a couple threads about .ml lmao, and then you were specifically going off because someone asked for an Eli5 of “the joke”

I just had this weird attack of perspective, man. What the hell am I doing here? I like the idea of talking about politics and keeping up with what’s going on in the world, and bouncing ideas off people and hearing new stuff. But it seems like Lemmy in particular is just full of all these super-weird aggressive people who are wrong about everything.

Lemmy is still small, it needs people to push back against these extremely aggressive types to grow, the Lemmy-verse at large is tipping away from the tankies, slowly but surely. There are very few tankie-aligned and even fewer right-wing aligned instances. On Reddit, it wasn’t nearly as bad because there were just so many people that unless you were early or on a niche subreddit, the “extremely aggressive” types were downvoted and ridiculed to oblivion already and it was big enough that it wasn’t really necessary to do so.

I feel like there’s a certain perspective that it’s just “oh ho that’s the internet for you” but it really just suddenly seemed like a big waste of time. Like here I am really trying to explain to this dude why his MAGA-friendly instance is not popular, or to Diva why someone might want to vote for Kamala Harris thinking that would be a good thing, and for what? What am I gaining from all of this? It’s not any successful communication with the people I’m talking to specifically, I don’t think.

I changed my own perspective long ago, I no longer engage with people like Diva to convince them but to convince and show the “silent lurkers” what Tankies and right-wingers really think around here. And in doing so, it goes a long way to fostering a more positive rep for the Lemmy-verse on the outside

To truly make progress though, we need bigger and louder calls for defederation of toxic instances like .ml and the rest of the triad amongst the bigger instances. Which is also helped by debating to the “silent lurkers”

That is HILARIOUS lmao I wasn’t even in this thread until now so ig im living rent free ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

She has def called me a Nazi though so I didn’t doubt it for a second lol

I’ve tried searching through my inbox looking for interactions between us but wasn’t able to find anything, but my inbox is rather…extensive and there’s no inbox searching tools AFAIK lol

Considering diva just straight up lied (see below), id like to review this disagreement we had myself

Lol “punching left” nah I just don’t subscribe to the idea of replacing capitalism authoritarianism with “left flavored” authoritarianism that the tankies push so hard for

!meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works for documentation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

So diva basically just straight up lied to you, I never even said what ever they’re referencing lol here:

If it was true they would have directly linked the comment

But diva is a known Tankie of .ml, lying about other users isn’t even the worst they do, here check this comm for documentation of the shenanigans .ml tankies get up to: !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

Wow, so you’ve resorted to just straight up lying about other users now LMAO

Gee I wonder why you don’t directly link to the comment I supposedly said

Oh, because it doesn’t exist

Lol it’s a meme not a research paper ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

In my house, they’re called dead spiders

Oof even all the way on Reddit they had to have felt that burn lmao

Excellent, I was thinking a bunch of cybersec nerds would have contingency plans, glad I was right lol

I mean, have you seen the human back, fuckin psychopath LMAO

So…what you’re saying is my body is… a GPU…can it run Doom‽

They did it for the lulz

Honestly, I don’t know what took so damn long lol
