        Have some empathy? You’re 17, not 7. You can stop and think about the DTers in here who have stated they have family in the US, and are scared about a Fascist Dictator and his Tech Whore ruling the most powerful country on Earth for (at least) the next four years. Think about what that means for women, LGBTQ+, and POCs, and every person who didn’t vote for Cheetolini.

        Can you just stop for a second and fucking think about the people here? This place isn’t just your echo chamber, it’s for everyone. And considering you haven’t stated you have friends or family there that you’re scared for, maybe just wait until tomorrow to shit on US citizens ey?

          I can still express my opinion on matters. This place isn’t just your echo chamber, either. Diverse viewpoints aren’t something that needs to be removed, like you seem to think. I’ll have my opinions, as you, and everybody else does, too. You don’t need to like mine, as I don’t need to like yours

            Never said diverse viewpoints have to be removed, just that calling Seagoon defensive is out of line considering the context, which you seem to just gloss over in favour of being antagonistic towards her. She’s not being defensive, she’s giving context ffs.

            Have your opinion, didn’t say you can’t, but that perhaps you are being downvoted because you obviously lack the nuance and empathy that a day like today calls for.

            Edit: loving how you gloss over this part funny that

              Well, if that’s how you feel, I can make sure there won’t be a repeat.

              Though, I do wonder if you intentionally misunderstood my original comment, again, just for the sake of getting all uppity, as you’ve done so many times in the past 🤔

                No need to jump on the defensive again, seagoon. I was answering a question, not attacking your beliefs.

                It just came across as patronising that’s all. Listen, some people are really hurt by what trump has said today. It’s just best to leave it and move on. Plus it was bloody hot and everybody’s grumpy.

                  Yeah, sorry CEO. Thanks for the advice (not sure if it’s really advice, but I’m not sure what else to call it. I do appreciate it, though). And it has indeed been a toasty one today
