comfy actually summs up a lot of my critcisms of the instance perfectly. In a word, it really is like everything I hated about reddit.

Block early and block often. Probably the best decision I ever made was blocking lemmy.world from my feed.

Tbh, I actually think this ends up being a win for Skyblivion. I think a lot of first-time Oblivion tryers were hoping for more dramatic changes, as opposed to basically unchanged Oblivion with a weird facelift running on top.

No, you’re a human. All of us have generally done shitty things, especially when we were teenagers and were exceptionally shitty versions of ourselves. You’re not “marked by sin” or whatever religious nonsense some people like to say, none of what you did then has to define your present or your future. If anything, feeling bad about the things you did in the past shows that you have grown up, learned some empathy, and become a better person.

My mother went all in on this philosophy, to the point that growing up I wasn’t allowed to have hobbies or be in extracurriculars unless I was planning to monetize them. The only thing it did was kill my self-worth and make me feel like all hobbies are inherently pointless, because the vast majority of people will never be able to make money on them. It’s such an insane, toxic ideology.

cock

Does 15 still count as a child? I think it does, and driving 300+ miles to have sex with someone I met on the internet is still probably the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done.

It’s a real problem, but I hate filler words. “Um uh hmm” just immediately makes me want to cover my ears and tune out the conversation. It’s at a level where I’ve seriously considered vocal therapy to make certain I never do them anymore, but that doesn’t really solve the issue since nearly everyone ends up using them. I just have to try and let go of the obsession, but it’s so hard.

Not banned, but it sounds like I would be if I was still a power user of reddit. The only time I still go to the site is for very specific niche gaming subreddits that the developers sometimes post in, I haven’t even seen /all in years at this point. I can post my same dogshit takes to U.S. political news on Lemmy, and it’s way less likely I’ll get some moron intentionally misconstruing my comment or mass reporting to get it removed!

I think it has to be fresh, and not old and crusty.

Okay obviously the cyanide ice cream is bad, but I’m intrigued by the thick cum soup. How many men would I need to gather to get a full cup of fresh cum?

Call your union

90% of Americans have failed at this step. That’s not a joke or hyperbole, less than 10% of Americans have membership to a labor union.

Sorry, the site that is expressly pro-Trump and has been removing comments critical of the current administration?

Beyond that, I wouldn’t even necessarily describe Reddit as a major player in the U.S. Most Americans are either part of META’s ecosystem or X, and both of those are absolutely pro-Trump.

What internet? The one algorithmically controlled by the oligarchs?

What TV? The stations that were purchased years ago by our country’s oligarchs?

What conversations? When everyone around them is being fed the same misinformation, and they treat anyone outside of their bubble as an enemy?

I would not assume the average American has any idea what is going on.

because you’re only seeing through a lense that is controlled by capital, and they refuse to show the demonstrations. I went to one yesterday, there were thousands of us and we took to the streets to demand trans rights. I won’t speak to the efficacy of the protests, but they are happening. News of them is just being suppressed.

The vast, vast majority of armed militias that are allowed to operate in the U.S. are far-right white supremacists. Mysteriously, they are allowed to operate without any issues, but any leftist militias that start to accumulate guns get a visit from the FBI or the ATF.

This post and the numerous replies affirming our clones wouldn’t try to kill us makes me wonder, what is the basis for this trope? Is it just the assumption that any doppelganger must be evil? I wonder what the cultural origins are, would it be European fae?

Anyway, I’m pretty sure my clone would still try to kill me, but it’d be doing so out of kindness. I’ve always wanted to die on my feet in combat, and I’ve never wanted to live, so we’d kinda be fighting over who gets the privilege of death. Whichever one of us wins has to keep going, while the other gets released.

My familial line. Sorry nerds, the buck stops here. I’m not gonna force anyone else into this hellscape against their will. If I ever adopt, they can keep their familial names.

I’m wondering if the people suggesting it for planetary travel have played Portal 2. It uh…it doesn’t end too well when they try.

Like, I can only shoot two portals ever? Single-use would imply only being able to shoot one portal, but that doesn’t seem very useful.

Also wasn’t portal travel hella toxic? To the point that it killed Cave Johnson? I sure as hell won’t be using it to save time on my commute or anything.

I think I’d have to use it for violence, like sending a war criminal off a large building, but you couldn’t even really have fun with it. Everyone fantasizes about launching a billionaire straight into space, but you’d need multiple portals to get them into a situation where they’re building momentum first.

Also, if there’s no material emancipation grids, are the portals just there forever? The portal gun doesn’t have an off switch or a way to deactivate existing portals.
