We’re not headed towards fascism. We’re already fascist. This is nothing more than silencing free speech. Just silencing a voice that said things the establishment didn’t like. It’s no different from the S.S. arresting germans who spoke jewish sympathy.

We’re not becoming fascist. We’re already there.

This is EXACTLY why I will never be part of a HOA.

Yep. Basically a group of friends were wrestlers, and backstage they’d act like teenagers and do that gesture, and tell their coworkers to suck it. This at a time where on tv it was a kids a show. You had evil plumbers, and evil dentists, and whatever the hell the bushwackers were supposed to be. And then these group of friends convinced their boss to do these adult gestures on tv. It would be like if the power rangers one day just had Jason say to Tommy “Yo, suck my dick, Green Ranger!” Just out of nowhere. And suddenly you had teenagers who found it funny doing it everywhere. Eventually it became pop culture. Now people who have no idea what it came from were doing it, because everyone wants to tell others to suck it.

I mean…the thing didn’t say “DX caused an epidemic”.

It would be like saying “Wonder Woman brought justice to all she faced” and then you post a meme of Batman, just because they were in the Justice League together.

I gave my input almost 3 years ago when I first joined, and I stand by it.

There should be a few general instances. These would be the big ones, where users would mostly clump. Any community would make sense here, but communities based on topics that have niche instances wouldn’t do well here, because everyone would just use the niche instances communities for those topics.

Then there would be smaller niche instances. Like I’m sure there’s SOMEONE who would join the star trek instance. Where every community is star trek themed. I don’t imagine that would be a significant percentage, but they would exist. Now, the communities would see a lot of traffic. I don’t doubt that if you consolidated all the star trek communities it would get a lot of people joining the communities. I just don’t think most people would feel the need to make that their home instance.

And star trek is just one example. You could have a sports instance. A movies instance. A tv instance. An art instance. An instance that’s just geographical locations instance. But most people would join the communities, not the instance.

That way, when people use the “local” tab, it’s a bit more diverse.

People always find it strange when I say the biggest reason for womens liberation happening is because of hitler, but it’s true.

Prior to America entering WWII, men went to work, women stayed home and did the dishes. That’s just how life was.

Then all the men needed to go overseas. But that left huge holes in the domestic workforce. Life simply couldn’t move forward without someone to stock the shelves of a grocery store, or fix cars, or drive the city bus. Work that up until then was historically men only. But…there were not enough men between 1941-1945 to fill the roles across all forms of work, but work needed to get done.

So women were brought into temporarily fill the roles until the men got back.

Then the war ends, the men come back, and suddenly the women don’t want to go back home and do dishes. So now you’ve got women back home, who want to be back at work, and men at work seeing more and more women not leaving.

And over the next decade or so, more and more women either never left the workplace, or came back to work. And then you had the homes where the men wouldn’t let their wives work. Which caused fights. And even though they were individual fights, these same fights were happening all over the country. As more women realized they aren’t alone, it became less of a fight with your husband, and more of a fight against traditional gender norms. And thus the womens liberation movement really gained traction.

And it all goes back to hitler creating the environment that allowed the whole butterfly effect to start.

And thats what you’re seeing with trump and linux.

Hitler didn’t give a damn about womens rights. But butterfly effect, he’s the biggest reason it happened.

Trump doesn’t give a damn about Linux, but here we go again.

Well ya know I drank really really hard for 40 years, but I didn’t have liver failure.

Guess there’s no consequences for alcoholism! Guess I can keep drinking forever! I am immortal!

And THAT is what I imagine my still alcoholic boomer dad must think daily.

I assume it’s a Salam Mass thing.

Windows forcing their own propriatary software as a means to destroy competing web browsers? Is it 1997 already?

Yes, I agree. Join us over on fuck_AI

I do that too sometimes when I just woke up, and I’m on the toilet, and my brain isn’t on yet.

…you are still half asleep and functionally not all there yet mentally, right?

Unclear if AI bot slop, or human that you avoid at work because they’re always saying weird unrelated stuff.

Then they should stop trying to fight abortions! We’reTRYING to shrink the unwanted populations, but we’re getting stuck with these unwanted kids.

I might take him up on that!

I never knew celebration shaming was a thing.

Are you under the impression that Bad_Ideas_In_Bulk is one person? Physically they might be, but their words represent a massive amount of people. I think millions of people would stop watching if they had to endure youtube without adblock.

If I come home drunk, I have good reason to lecture! Actually, I’d have to start with some very stern questions.

Question 1, number one, how the hell did these animals get into my house?

Question 2, what the hell are you guys doing in my house?

Question 3, …

I passed out drunk, because it was a long way home. I’ll deal with it in the morning.

Wait…is that real? Harris was our first female president, and it only lasted 1 hour???

Well that tears it! I’m going to go yell at a minimum wage teenage walmart employee over his decision to not stock 2,000,000 SPF! I need that stuff! How dare he be out of stock???
