Wait…

If you’re reading this, just know that I will probably butt heads with you at some point. I can be abrasive, and I typically don’t censor what I think.

That being said, I wouldn’t choose any other social media. Lemmy makes me think of what the United States should be, disparate communities coming together to form a larger and stronger whole. I can be an asshole, spit my shit and have people discuss things with me in a rational manner - for the most part coming to a common understanding.

I’ve learned a lot about who I want to be from talking to and reading what Lemmians have to say. I will always appreciate this place.

It’s easy to feel that way even if you are a techy. It seems like being minimally neurodivergent is the abnormal here.

That being said, I’ve been introduced to many different ways of thinking that I wouldn’t have gained otherwise. Think of it like you’re different, but that’s ok because everyone here is different - and that makes them (and you) all the more beautiful for it (especially in the context of idea exchange). In fact, being the different one here will give you the perspective that many of the people who use Lemmy experience simply by existing which, in and of itself, is a valuable thing.

I’d certainly be interested to know for the sake of donations. I would gladly donate to keep the fediverse alive.

Yeah I looked at your comments and saw that thread, where the person was claiming that computers functioned by spirits being summoned from rocks and other nonsense.

The sheer ridiculousness of it forced me to hop in and take a look, and I sure did get a good laugh out of that. Had to leave my two cents and go. I’d be more inclined to believe it’s that weirdo too.

I mean, for fucks sake, the state is magic? Money is magic? The placebo effect is magic?

This person* probably thinks the wind is magic.

Edit: also you were close! Tautologically, one ‘o’ off.

Edit 2: if they respond to you again, hit em with the God of the gaps fallacy.

Edit 3: * I editted this because I’ve spoken to this person a little more. I don’t think they’re dumb, I think they just have a very unique perspective.

How is this getting downvoted? Did you piss off some trogs in a different thread?

There are ways to manage odor without antiperspirants, however they are even more work than just applying deodorant. Meaning they’re functionally worthless when it comes to the trogs stinking up your average MTG tournament.

The rest is spot on, though, wash your stuff regularly and not only will you smell less - your skin should clear up too.

I hate Andrew Tate, that changes nothing about what I’ve said.

I’m genuinely curious, who exactly do you think will do the fighting?

Cuz I can tell you who will be the first pushed forward, and that’s young men and women. I can’t speak for women so I won’t. However, not sure if you’ve noticed, but we’ve got several generations of young men that have been taught that they are literally everything that’s wrong with everything and are treated like it. What exactly would those young men be fighting for?

Of course they’re defeatist. They have been trained to be.

I distinctly remember McDonald’s being more than a rough approximation of food at one point. I don’t know when that changed.

“Did they put out the posters again!? I was gone for a day!”

Figured anything lemmy related was still getting nuked on reddit.

The term is “common decency”.

Hey, similar boat here 29 and lost interest in relationships after losing my virginity while a teen.

Stop seeking “perfect”. You can be happy without the setting being “perfect”.

Are you perfect? Are you “the ideal man (or woman)”? Am I responding to the literal messiah (second coming or otherwise)?

No, I’m not. So maybe you should abandon this idea of “perfect” that you’ve polluted your brain with. Unless you want to be alone, then by all means.

since I realized I could have pressed a magic reset button…

What?
