Should there be a double negative in that first sentence?

Thanks for our chat, I’m off to read more political theory now. /s

Well, duh… now explain to me how .ml’s software is communising or influencing my comments.

Edit: I am most grateful to our supreme leader and chief dev, comrade Desalines (sp?)

Regardless of your views about the .ml folk, the vast majority of Lemmy users and instances aren’t .ml

Are you familiar with the phrase “to cut your nose off to spite your face”?

Arrested development most likely.

Me, personally, a couple of reasons:

Without wanting to sound like a pretentious twat I think art made without a soul is the antithesis of art.

People ask dumb questions that a quick web search would answer.

The blurring between what is real and what isn’t.

Capitalism suggesting that there might only be two or three “non-human entities” controlling the entire internet soon.

The fear of another economic bubble.

It making people stupider.

The fokken poes that is an anagram of my user name being involved. Plus all the other bros too.

Fear of something that has the power to potentially go beyond thought.

The absolute ease of facilitating surveillance.

Terminator franchise

Etc

You have my complete sympathy. It’s a torture I couldn’t even begin to imagine.

My mechanic neighbour suffers from it, he plays a lot of white (?) noise YouTube videos when he has to concentrate - they work for him; a bit.

I have musical tinnitus - my entire life had symphonic and electronic soundscapes. I thought it was normal - I’ve actively listened to all types of music for about 45 yrs.

Sometime in my early forties I mentioned it to my mate’s new girlfriend. She laughed and directed me to an article about it.

Musical tinnitus 11/10 highly recommend. Normal tinnitus 0/10 avoid at all costs.

Your dad sounds like a dark horse, as long as your mother was consenting / out of the picture then more power to him.

I met the guys near Monastir a couple of weeks before daesh militants AK’d the beach I had been on. About ten years later I ended up working with them on a project in southern France. They’re still together and a great pair of boys to this day.

I know 2 gay Tunisians, but they are only gay when they are inside hotels aimed at European visitors.

This seemed to be a thing for a lot of (whatever sexuality) locals. Dating and drinking in hotels, away from the judgemental eyes of religious extremists.

A guy I worked with was far-right, but drew the line at violence, so not a fascist, per se.

All that fucker needed to cure himself was a passport and to get out of his ends. Soon realised that the vast majority of humans are all after the same basic needs and we have more in common than we don’t.

Why do you care about votes, in either direction? We’re all just random internet strangers.

With the utmost respect I don’t really give a fuck if people agree with me or not. I’m not here for a popularity contest, either way.

I’m a (hu)man with my own mind.

No. Get a feel for communities and instances. Different horses for different courses.

Having said that there are people here who take shitposts seriously, that have disdain for socialism and go to .ml, that run their mouth in Blahaj about things they don’t understand etc. Then there are the people who don’t understand that instances are governed by the laws of their physical location, like the entire UK being “banned” from .zip (?) and .world having an overly protective (imo) attitude towards Zionist atrocities etc.

It’s a defederated global platform - there should be no (or very little) homogeny.

I hope you find what you’re looking for and enjoy your time here.

Have you heard of “Friends”?

Damn. Haven’t seen a “with rice” score for a while.

Thanks for the info, I shall give it a miss. I’m sorry you had to suffer for us to learn.

I always hoped petrol would be spicy and sec (dry) - is it not?

I was once adopted by the Secretary/Typist group where I was helping out because our Friday lunch hour was at the same time. They added an “a” to the end of my name to feminise it and proceeded to treat me as one of the girls. I learnt a lot about periods, make-up, men and fashion - amongst a host of other things. Happy memories.

My instance isn’t .world, I don’t subscribe to this community and I’m not in that comment chain… so, uh?

Trying to have a serious debate in this community is… optimistic.

I’m sure you have the best of intentions but, honestly, here and now it’s not the place nor time. I’m just here for the low quality, low effort, offensiveness of it all.

I dig the Dada v Nihilism vibe of shitposting. We can talk about that here if you want, it’d be appropriate.

Yeah - I just did a quick web search. Always good to learn something new.

I’ve heard of a “bussy” but never a “wenis”. What’s going on here? Typo or new slang?

Edit: it’s elbow talk.

You’re more than entitled to your opinion, although personally I think you’re incorrect; especially in this community.

This is a Shitposting community.

We not really here for the moral and ethical concerns of modern society we’re only here for the lulz.
