Surprised they haven’t gone for a renaming/rebranding yet.

I dunno why, but I absolutely love it when someone comments “no it isn’t” without a comma and the person comes back with “yes, it is” with comma. Commas do a lot of work in creating tone in text and that example is probably one of the most obvious to notice/cite and one of my favorites. So I guess I have an idea of why after all lmao

That’s it. I knew it looked vaguely familiar and couldn’t figure out why

Florida doesn’t have a state income tax either.

Not everything needs to be put in words though. Simply saying “I agree” with nothing more to the comment is just wasting everyone’s time, except for the single person they replied to getting an ego boost. The thing about comments is they’re public, they’re for more than just the recipient. You’re trying to make comments like DMs, where people can privately circlejerk until they’re both spent.

Learn to not care about being downvoted. Unless there’s some dumb rule about too many downvotes leads to disciplinary action. You want echo chambers, I’m trying to get away from echo chambers, as are a lot of others i imagine

At one point reddit also had no queen community. Someone created it and built it into what it is now. You can do the same here, that’s kinda the point.

What do you think JOI is?

I wonder if it’s them expecting some sort of apocalypse level event that wipes out electricity but they think their stores are somehow going to keep on keeping on, so this way they can do inventory and sales by candlelight.

And this is why people feel like they constantly need to validate their opinions by repeating them, so people like you don’t think everyone suddenly doesn’t care.

This is one of the big reasons I finally left Facebook and reddit and all the mainstream shit. And I’m starting to see it’s just a social (media) problem and not something I can escape by switching platforms. At least not easily, and I imagine if I start going on a block run now it’ll only end up consuming nearly all my time soon enough and just no. I guess the only thing left is to only browse specific communities that actively moderate those sorts of comments, or just give up being social online entirely. Kinda sucks when you have social anxiety and these online spaces are the one place you feel least constrained by it.

She went in one side, got turned around, and came back out the same end. Happens to the best of us

What is your instance exactly? Like what can you tell me about it? Cause I think it may align with a lot of my interests. I get that it’s slrpnk.net and I can go to it and see what sorts of posts there are, but what I’m wondering is what can be said about it from someone that actively uses it that one may not see through a cursory browse

vroom vroom

I wish people like you would stop saying half voted for it and half didn’t. In reality, ⅕ voted for it, ⅕ against it, and ⅗ don’t have any accurate representation in this phony system of choice so they didn’t vote at all.

3% for what? Where did that number even come from?

Yeah, I don’t get that one either. Granted, I’m not registered or ever plan to vote unless/until direct democracy exists, but how do they determine if you’re in the right district, precinct, etc. without confirming your identity? I would think that making sure people are doing things correctly and fairly would be a thing most people that aren’t trying to cheat the system would want.

“I want to have my publicly stated opinion, but it’s not allowed to be challenged or questioned in any way” 🙄

Ignore or block the post then. You’re free to not look. If you want something moderated to your specific standards only then go create it. Nothing is stopping you, but you’re trying to stop others. So stop it.

360° could be implying they are already that and that they’ll go through some cycle from being modern dinosaurs into future dinosaurs, but remaining much the same at the start and end positions. Or they were one of the many that never did understand angles and degrees during geometry 🤷‍♂️
