All hot or all active depending on whether or not I feel like arguing

I have an alt for that so I don’t spiral from the worldnews communities

Consider who this mentality benefits most. Things are certainly going to get very awful, but as they get worse there will come a time when those most responsible are held accountable, one way or another. The sooner this occurs the more people are likely to survive. Yes, a vast many, maybe even most of us could perish, but retreating into doomerism, choosing to do nothing, means prolonging the worlds destitution by postponing change. Humans, as a collective, are not a species that likes to give up, the sooner we do something the more lives we save, even if it is just a few. I will not blame you for forsaking the collective in order to preserve the individual but pushing that mentality to others could do real harm. The only people who benefit from this choice are those responsible for our doom.

I have copius amounts of stuffed animals

Soup is ideal for every occasion

Thats really cool thank you

So you ran PR for the murder machine then? What difference does it make. I’m not calling you an awful person for joining the military, a lot of people join really young before they have a developed understanding of the world and honestly, nationalist indoctrination (cultural osmosis if you want to call it that) plays a huge role. Despite that, serving in the US military IS an awful thing to do no matter the capacity in which you served. It is worth contextualizing the military through how it serves empire (regardless of who is steering that empire) and, through that, internalizing your role. The purpose of the US military is not humanitarianism, it isn’t world peace, it isn’t protecting American citizens. It exists to protect the interests of the American ruling class through violence. You helped do that. I am not asking you to beat yourself up about it, I am not even asking you to atone through actual community service. I just want you not to pretend that there is a single benevolent role that someone can play in a machine made for murder.

Unvoiced and voiced? Which of my uses is which here?

Honestly þis þread makes me sad. Can’t a fella be a lil quirky in peace?

Good thing not everyone is ever going to do that. Just let people be a little weird maybe? Or block them if it bothers you

What is a user specific score? (Also curious about my number)

What is an improper use?

Love when you post stuff like this

Significantly further left. Communists and anarchists barely exist on reddit while it also has some major right wing subs. Communists and anarchists are a prominant feature of lemmy while it contains almost 0 explicitly right wing communities of significance.

My bad I forget england and britain are not interchangeable terms

Britain England, it wasn’t bad or anything just no desire to visit it again. Saw what I wanted to see. Wouldn’t mind seeing Scotland again though.

Hadn’t even though of this. I don’t think I’ve seen a barber in 2 years. I’m glad my partner had experience shaving their dad’s head though, they do a nice job

Okay so this is a little awkward because I’m a big advocate for using cars as little as possible and fighting to remove car dependant infrastructure. However, I have a truck that’s as old as I am, its the only car I’ve ever owned and its stunning how well it is chugging along. It’s seen around 300,000 miles, both coasts of the US, immense hail storms, a small tornado, a multi-car pileup, a few bullets, and multiple hurricanes. It leaks just about every fluid, its hood is a different color because I pulled it from a junkyard, and the trunk has a large bloodstain. Yet the fucker refuses to die, its never even broken down and left me stranded. Every major issue was cheap and fixable at home. I must be immensely lucky because I do not treat it kindly. I didn’t personally buy it but its served my entire family for over 2 decades so I’d hope it had payed itself off by now.

He died iirc

Yeah Ogham would be fucking awful for modern communication but I thought it’d be really funny. In a more serious sense I actually think it’d be super interesting to see how humans adapted to it and adapted it to their needs.

Anyway I also picked Gaeilge because it makes for great lyricism
