The graph is saying “As millennials get older, the debt increases”

Time axis, but millennial focused

… hm.

FUCK YEAH

The meme became very widely used outside of /pol/ and rarely criticized on ‘racist’ grounds.

I’m guessing you don’t go to many country music festivals.

Well, no, my family tree isn’t a circle

Maybe it’s my inner straight male talking, but I don’t see nearly enough girls in American flag bikinis and cowboy hats in this country.

I once went to Texas and got complimented on my sombrero, though.

I mean, other than some folks jumping in to defend the honor of the Fatherland helpless foreign country which needs terminally online Americans to defend it, I don’t really know that there’d be a big difference in reaction.

There’s not much here that’s… actually offensive unless you really try to read into it? “Ha ha, debt goes up, major restaurants, car type that’s fucking everywhere despite no reason for it, overused national symbol, food additive, regional hat, flag bikini, national obsession”

I guess the diabetes bit?

I don’t really know that an Argentine drawing the same tongue-in-cheek style pic with inflation, whatever national chains are prominent, vehicle jokes, regional dress, a national-team shirt, and a soccer ball would really get a majorly different reaction.

God, I better not ever make jokes about the absurdity of living here, lest I be seen as problematic against my own country.

The artist is American, for one.

Oh no, I know what it means

Renounces?

I was there when they were invented, they were called mini-bowls. The marketing team didn’t like it, though, so we had to rewrite all the clay tablets with ‘spoons’. Which is a dumb name, for the record.

Mini-bowls, they were initially called

Loneliness and/or a need for validation drives people to crazy things. From joining cults and extremist groups without a pre-existing history of relevant prejudices or preconceptions, to enduring abusive social circles. To, now, falling in love with chatbots.

The best way to provide ! links that work for the most people is just to type them out as plain text, not as a hyperlink to anything.

Sorry, I’m used to Lemmy’s markup, which automatically makes them a hyperlink. I imitated that without considering that it might be different on Piefed. I’ve got practices to unlearn, it would seem.

Moving to PieFed OK, but why everything to the one instance? Didn’t we learn anything from having everything @world?

It would be one thing if this were several people moving their comms to Piefed.social, but it’s literally just me. Piefed.social is still small, I don’t think me moving is going to cause it to centralize, especially considering that there are other major Piefed instances already extant.

Decentralization should be done by different people and groups choosing different instances, but all of us federating with each other and participating in each other’s comms; not in expecting one person to spread themselves over half-a-dozen different instances.

Sorry, they work on Lemmy. I’m not sure how to do markup for non-Lemmy instances yet, I’m learning.

midwest.social has few active admins, and the most active one has made some questionable moderation decisions. Fighting instance-level administration is a bigger problem than comm-level moderation, so many of us chose to shift away from midwest.social.

Terminally online behavior.

Uh, yes, that’s why I pointed it out?

Unlike, of course, seven months’ worth of impassioned ranting and lying about a commenter who rarely even interacts with you
