The world is a bunch of probability clouds of energy temporarily in a pattern that resembles real squishy meat machines and we all out here pretending we know what’s up.
Yeah man WTF happened there. I just saw a "deleted by moderator" comment and a shit load of people responding quoting the comment with a bunch of I guess hate speech about LGBT? What the hell were they even talking about lmao
Yeah, sometimes it's great to nuke some popcorn and just have a good ol' guilty watch. But this was one of those times where things got so pathetic it felt icky even spectating.
Some redditors just bring the worst of reddit with them when coming to the fediverse, like tracking mud into the house. Some are still recovering, and slowly acclimating to the fact that you don’t have to be an overly defensive, argumentative prick all the time. Some just stay that way because it’s all they know. Some are still learning that every difference of opinion doesn’t have to become a tiresome debate. Some are OK people. Some are just plain assholes.
As a reddit refugee, I’m in that paragraph somewhere. I’m only half joking when I call it PRSD - Post Reddit Stress Disorder.
The universe is much, much more complex than we can comprehend. As humanity learns more, the old categories and frameworks we use to try and organize and understand things will break down.
This is not a bad thing. It is a sign of progress.
plan week off while he's away so you can just go fucking ape and keep your favoured night owl hours, make horrible noises all day woodworking, sort the garden, all that fun stuff
I think the difference is that one can be experienced by everyone through demonstration, and the other is an internalized representation that people expect others to learn and know. I don't give a fuck to know anything about anyone. I don't even want to know your name, let alone what you want to fuck, how you want to fuck, if you want to fuck, etc. I don't like frat-boys prattling on about their conquests either, it's obnoxious. But I'm kind of in a gray area too. Liberals call me conservative, and conservatives call me liberal. Fuck me, right? I want LGBTQ+/Straight people to just shut up about it, and I want everyone to treat them equally and not discriminate against them.
In my experience, someone who claims to be in the middle is actually on the right but has miraculously realized that makes them an asshole in today's political climate so they pretend to be "in the middle".
You're just an asshole. How very privileged of you to tell people to shut up about wanting to not be belittled, harassed, and killed for something they have no control over.
Fuck you for not giving a fuck that a shit ton of people do fucking care that queer people exist and are actively trying to drive us out of of society. Fuck you for not caring that the standard rule on the right is now to refer to the LGBT community as pedophiles - criminal rapists of children. Fuck you for not caring that people are showing up with fucking AR-15s in the children’s section of libraries to defend kids against us.
That’s what fucking Pride is about. Pride is about saying No to shitheads like them, but also shitheads like you who have the privilege to not care.
Nobody gives a shit that queer, les, trans, bi, gay people exist. Keep existing! The majority of people simply do...not...really...care one way or the other! You simply latch onto the 1% of people who spew hate your way and use that as an excuse.
Stop using radical right wing nutjobs as an excuse to act like children on the internet when someone calls you out for being obnoxious about it. And that wasn't an "informal you"...that was YOU. You "FriendofAlphaba". Not the grander "you" meaning the LGBT community.
99.9% of the LGBT community are great people. But you've got basically what amounts to the mirror image of Q-tards roaming around in the community basically chastising anyone who doesn't bow to every opinion they have.
Fuck you. I don't care about you. You wanna talk about something productive? Want me to teach you how to use a 3D printer? Want me to teach you how to build PCs? Let's go, I'll teach you all about it. YES, even you FriendofElphaba... because I don't give a flying FUCK what you ARE. I don't even give a shit if you share a different opinion than me. I'll still listen. I'll still teach. IDGAF who you are as a person, that doesn't concern me.
Yeah pretty much. Im interested in what people know, rather than what they ARE. I don't care what people are. I don't care about people. People largely suck. If you're the type of person who bleats on about actors and actresses and who's marrying who and who's doing what... you're more than braindead, you're a drain on the living.
Show me your skills. Show me your hobbies. Show me what you make. Show me your passions, your art, your accomplishments. I don't give a fuck about you as a thing for me to objectify. I don't care about your body or your preferences. I care about your intellect and passion.
From my perspective as an American, I find it difficult to reconcile these two statements:
"I want everyone to treat them equally and not discriminate against them"
"I’m kind of in a gray area"
In practice, there is no middle ground in American politics. You vote Republican, or you vote Democrat. This is most true in presidential elections but still generally true in state and even local elections throughout the country. The parties are pretty well aligned top to bottom. Conservative or liberal.
Like you, I want everybody to be treated equally. For me, there's no gray area about it. I hate how little choice I have in politics, but this is the reality I live in, and this is the reality I have to vote in.
If you have a clear alignment to one party or the other, I wouldn't call that a "gray area". And if you don't? If you don't have a clear alignment to one or the other? In America? In the 2020s? When one party is very clearly, and very persistently violating that core value of "treat them equally and not discriminate against them"? Like I said, it's hard for me to reconcile.
That's my perspective. Even assuming you are also American, I don't think you're a bad person. However, I do think it's worth really reexamining what's important to you. I hope that when it comes time to vote, you will not turn your back on that core value of equality. Let it be a high priority. Leave that gray area.
You kidding? You think I vote republican? Those mother fuckers are nuts.
But the "left" (what I call right-lite) isn't some picnic either.
I have allegiances to nobody. Both parties are trash. Off with their heads.
It's people like you who think it's an "One or the other" deal. No. Fuck that. Not all votes have an (R) or (D) next to them.
But as soon as I say that some lunatic is going to come around and claim "you're throwing your vote to the OTHER party by doing that!"...fuck off with that shit too.
I appreciate that you want an equal world where differences don’t matter to the point we just ignore them.
But, when you say they’re fine but they just need to shut up and essentially stay out of your sight, it sounds like you’re treating them like children. As if you just want those uppity blacks, wait I mean LGBTs, to stop contaminating your view of the world.
That is not at all how I understand him. He just does not want to have to deal with such personal details. The same way I don't want to deal with someones obsession or aversion with baking. It just doesn't matter. Live your life, let others live their life.
One of my favorite milling/lathe YouTube channels is a hermaph. I didn't care to find that out, but someone cared to tell me. I don't give a fuck that they're hermaph, they make awesome content. They're an awesome creator and source of knowledge for me and others. I have a massive amount of respect for their craft, and a massive amount of respect for the skills they've acquired. I don't care about anything else. What's between their doctor and them is between their doctor and them...
