I think the person saying it wants to avoid family or acquaintances giving them shit for not sharing their political views.
Most of my family is very conservative stereotype vile people. I’ve heard that exact phrase from the few left leaning relatives as they try to wigle out of unconfortable conversations. I myself am the black sheep that just tells the repugnicans that their views disgust me.
modem noises
I used to call support to see if the internet service was down when I couldn’t connect, now I browse to a status page to see if the phone service is down, and I work in tech support.
sad old man noises
right? I read this and my first thought was “only 20?!”
Us rare ones pay a price for it too. Just about my whole family is hard right republican and religious idiots. Life with them has not been great.
I managed to get part of the article via wayback machine, but it cuts off
its like he saw the intro to the original fallout game and decided he wanted to make ww3 happen.
they don’t accept sources outside their local news and social circle where they accept everything as truthful and any outsider is automatically untrustworthy. I’ve run into someone utterly convinced that their local schools were forcing kids to become trans against thier will, because they heard it repeated by thier idiot republican social circle. No evidense required. Instead in thier mind burden of proof is on me for saying that’s ridiculous.
Even when they don’t wholeheartedly believe the lies they’ve been goven they will pretend to for fear of their social circle response.
You get what you deserve! #jokerwasright
I do this, but every comment I make gets removed by either a subs automod or a reddit admin.
I got banned from half the subs on reddit for trying to explain the scunthorpe problem on programming related sub, because all that is what happens when everyone uses the same automod that has the exact problem I was trying to explain and they also ban you from subs you’ve never even been to because they share a naughtylist of ppl who use the c word.
for anyone that’s never heard of it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
reddit admins and mods are just using idiotic automation to shoot first and ask questions never
and also to help the billionaires not have to look at things they don’t like so elongated muskrats don’t get thier feewings hurt
gotcha, that’s my hope as well.
unfortunately I’m not up for growing a new community myself right now, tbh I’m not doing a great job at attracting members to the one I did start so I don’t think I should try and handle 2 already. I’m bad at social things in general but I try.
they ban for upvoting “eat the rich” too.
yet reddit admins never had a problem with thedonalds posters litteraly saying people should be shot and other violent rhetoric for years. the key difference is this time the billionaire class got upset.
it also flags “eat the rich”
I need a lemmy based replacement for MarchAgainstNazis since that mod team has been seriously compromised.
Can’t sound like you criticize reddit itself or admin actions in any way, benign things being silently removed/hidden. can’t say anything against actual nazi’s now.
I wish me would stop judging me in this comic. stfu, me!
resumes sitting on counch doing nothing, occasionaly checking the miniature doom machine to scroll lemmy…
your first clue was the link in the text - no shipper is going to miss having its branding in the url. the second was that the url it redirects to its obviously random bs and if you do a whois you see its def not owned by usps.
got a few of these phishing attempts myself over thanksgiving. holiday gift shopping season has begun, the scammers want to catch the less savy among us.
when you include the upper peninsula Michigan looks like someone calling time-out … while wearing mittens.
also I don’t get all the talk of left or right handed. turn the same hand over to like at the back instead of the palm and the “wrong hand” would then fit?
at least its self-pruning
hey listen…I love you for this.
reddit removed every post of mine that used the words “elongated muskrat”
