I'm waiting for a Sony Xperia foldable. Hamburger style obviously.
Does it wave a trail blazing doodad? That's a nice established path
"animal: evolves to run away from predators as a defense mechanism"
humans: ayo, catch that shit and put it in circle with wood so they can't leave, since, you know, they like to move. Also posts provide all their food and water and let them fuck to make more. Eat them with the evil plants.
I'm on lemme.ee mostly because lemmy world forgot my login info.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think what happens is that, meeting the average person, they are dumb fucks because they do things that annoy you. Therefore, if most people are like that, then that's like a hundred IQ, and therefore you must be more than average.
You must be more intelligent than everyone in the milk and eggs aisle of Kroger.
You must be a better driver than everyone because they take too long to start going on a light turns green on a day that you're busy and trying to cram a lot in.
You must be more worldly and literate because you listened to some Isaac Asimov audiobooks.
Etc.
Okay, give me a paragraph or two about why the dpkr is misunderstood.
No, I was asking if you did
You put a VPN on your company phone?
Honestly I don't really have skin in the game aside from being a human on this earth. I'm not going to respond to your whole thing because it is not worth it. I'm not trying to pick a fight with you.
Are you posting from North Korea?
How did I not know about this?
I think it's a bit ridiculous how the pride flag was meant to show that humanity is on a spectrum of all kinds of sexualities in different amounts. But then the attention people wanted to start adding extra widgets, shapes, and colors to the flag that was supposed to represent basically everyone (or at least the non 100% straight people, depends on interpretation).
Go to the hood and tell a black dude walking around at two am that he has his own representation on the pride rev. d flag, right between the stripes for asexual and native Americans or whatever, and see what happens.
Well yeah, but they expect people talking nonsense to get pummeled in the court of public opinion
That's literally not free speech. If I say I like to eat broccoli every day and that people should try it for health reasons and you're some kind of carnivore mod and it tickles you the wrong way and you block me for it... That's censorship and the opposite of free speech.
You're telling me that you control the narrative. Now there's nuance to censorship for sure, but you're telling me that if you don't like what I say I'm out. I have to type within the confines of the bubble of what isn't too uncomfortable for you.
I say let the downvotes do the talking. If I go on the electric vehicles instance talking about how (non-ironocally) I love to roll coal and how that's what's keeping me from trying EVs, I expect to be downvoted into the shadow realm. And that's ok. What I'm not ok with is a mod assuming that my voice sucks and that I don't deserve to be heard. Maybe some smart lemmier(?) will point out some doodad that makes a brrr noise and shoots out some harmless mist or something.
