I still have people to love and things to appreciate. I know that civilization is pretty fucked right now, and I can’t say for sure there’s an other side to this tunnel we’re barreling down, but that makes it all the more imperative that I don’t take the good for granted. Despair and happiness are choices.

I don’t think this one should be as controversial as it is.

I would be one of you if they didn’t purge my accounts years ago. The trust will never return.

I see. There’s the disconnect. You offered both an anecdote and an objective statement. You called the comic inaccurate, as well as stating what happens as though it’s a universal experience. And then you offered an anecdote. The response was geared towards your first couple remarks, not the anecdote. They were snarky about it, but the sentiment is true. You were speaking for everyone, not just yourself. Your retort doesn’t make much sense because they weren’t doing the same thing.

Genuinely curious. What do you mean by this?

Does Lemmy not like Linux all of a sudden…?

Loud and stupid are affectionate descriptors from my friends. I also struggle with volume after being too quiet for my early years and overcompensating in the later ones.

This is the way.

Food deserts are real, and they show you real fast how exploitable you can be.

That really sucks for her. But why does anyone care outside of schadenfreude?

Came here to say this. Cunt should be old news, yet here she is living in minds rent free.

The USA is the only country in the world with gender disparity.

I live in the USA and that’s the perspective I can speak from. I can’t claim to know anything about Lithuania’s politics and culture, and I wouldn’t dare try. If I see someone say “in Canada…” it does make me pity them that they couldn’t consider any other country in the world with their insubstantial brains, so I do see where you’re coming from. Piss off.

You said a lot of words just to point out that yes, there’s a patriarchy problem in America. I’m well aware that there are many problems. You said that patriarchy wasn’t a problem. I said it was. Everything else you’re going on about is irrelevant.

You literally have no idea what you’re talking about then. Your sin is bold ignorance. I’m happy you don’t have to deal with this shithole, but here in America, we have a strong patriarchy. Simple fact.

Are you a white man in America? You’re saying white man in America type shit. Do you think racism is a relic of the past too?

The Bible explicitly states that women are beneath and subservient to men. Christianity is the dominant religion (at least in America). Politicians face controversy when they aren’t openly Christian. They are guided by their Christian morals when making decisions that impact millions of people. Every single president in American history has been a man. Women couldn’t vote until recently, and more recently lost bodily autonomy. Each and every one of these realities produces male supremacy over women. Patriarchy is very real, and has been for centuries. To deny this is to demonstrate ignorance.

Yes, but explicitly applied to corporate entities. If a corp can’t handle its waste, it’s a threat to mankind and should not operate. Solve the issue or kill the corp.

Damn, I’m sorry to hear that. Food has always been my favorite part of the experience.

Absolute gold comment mate. Gave y’boi the respect he deserves.
