You’re creating the exact scenario OP bemoans.

I know that I’ve been blocked by some people because I only see some comments if I load Lemmy in a private (not signed in). This is likely because of my anger toward the genocide in Palestine last year, when I got a bit unhinged about what it would mean for the election in November. Oh well, I don’t care.

I haven’t been plagued by abusive users. Maybe try lurking for a bit to check the tone of communities before contributing. I find Lemmy welcoming. I gave up on Reddit in the mids of the last decade. We might approach web forums from very different places (example: I love the text-only Hacker News).

Sublime.

I love that Eratosthenes was able to estimate the circumference of the earth with the amount of math we had in his era. Meanwhile, modern flat-earthers are still making me want to vomit.

I used to see fractals in the shadows on LSD. I couldn’t think of the word “fractal,” and told my friend, “You know, that thing in math?” And he said to me, “When you trip you see math?!” Fun times. To be a teen again.

Oops. Sorry about that. Done.

Useless Use of Cat

Blood. Bloods are a gang in USA.

Monster.

I remove eggs opposite each other (front right, rear left and so on) so that it remains level for weight and balance. My partner doesn’t subscribe to my logic and just sprays a machine gun of bullets around the carton, grabbing whatever like she’s blindfolded. It’s not a hill I wanna die on, so I don’t say anything.

Solid review. Just installed on my Mac. Started up very quickly. Looks nice. I’ll use it as my daily driver for a few days and see how it feels.

Pho. I have a pot every morning.

Agreed. As a nonviolent person, I’m willing to go to war over this. Can’t have two files from different years listed side by side because they were from the first day of different months. That’s anarchy.

Fair explanation. I appreciate your taking the time.

Fuck all.

Definite article. I can’t believe I remembered that from English classes.

I welcome my country’s (USA) cutting off at the knees to provide greater diversity in tech allocation. It made sense to rely on corporations in the USA when our leadership wasn’t outright hostile to the rest of the world, at least from the perspective of the people making such decisions. We have proven to be a rogue state. We can be trusted with nothing.

Isolate us and reduce the amount of harm we are capable of delivering. My sincerest apologies to the rest of the world for the shitty decisions of my fellow citizens.

Explain this.

Thanks for reminding me to make a payment. I keep that shit pre-paid, so to speak, so the balance due was zero, but I’m vigilant about never letting it cost me money. Paid off the smallish amount that was accruing because fuck my bank.

Make me a scary sandwich.

What, you want them to show RESTRAINT?!
