  • 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.








  • 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.
