FakeGreekGirl,

Everyone talks about Rule 34, but nobody mentions the equally valid Rule 36.

FakeGreekGirl,

The one I was thinking of is, “It’s somebody’s fetish. No exceptions.”

FakeGreekGirl,

Brings new meaning to the Salt-N-Pepa song.

Pardon me, do you have the rule? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

A comic strip titled “WONDERMARK by David Malki!” featuring five panels. In the first panel, a dodo bird asks a seated man, “Pardon me, do you have the time?” The man responds, “Yes, it’s—”. In the second panel, the dodo exclaims, “You have the time!” The third panel shows multiple dodos excitedly saying,...

FakeGreekGirl,

He made The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. I will love him forever.

FakeGreekGirl,

You should watch the movie. It’s all kinds of fun.

FakeGreekGirl,

At the rate we’re going, this is what Windows 12 will look like.

FakeGreekGirl,

XP actually wasn’t great on release, though I don’t know anybody who clung to ME, considering it was itself a huge dumpster fire. It wasn’t until SP1 hit that XP got really good.

Most of us were just riding out 98SE as long as we could until MS got their shit together. Some people had 2000, but it wasn’t really a consumer-class OS; it was meant more for the enterprise.

FakeGreekGirl,

I always looked at Team America as a satire of right wing thought. Basically the Bush worldview taken to comical extremes.

I know Parker and Stone are lolbertarians, but they managed to actually skewer the right pretty well back in the day.

FakeGreekGirl,

For people who ask stupid questions about their gender.

FakeGreekGirl,

I’m not going to say that the rich are just as unhappy as the rest of us, because they’ll never know what it is to truly struggle. But take a look at Elon Musk; does he look happy to you? Dude bought and destroyed Twitter because people there wouldn’t stop making fun of him, and he still can’t stop them. He’s driven his daughter out of his life because he can’t accept she’s trans, which has only made him go even more full on transphobe and bleed over into every other bigoted thought under the sun. He just fucking gutted Tesla, his big pride and joy, because he couldn’t stand his “inferiors” talking back to him and trying to stop him from making terrible mistakes. All his victims are undoubtedly struggling more than he is, thanks largely to his capriciousness and evil, but he certainly doesn’t look happy to me.

And the funny thing is, he could be absolutely happy if he could let shit go. If I had his money, I wouldn’t even bother with all this petty shit; I’d hire people to manage the money, put as much of it into charity work as I could, find some tropical island somewhere, and spend the rest of my life sipping on margaritas and watching sunsets. But he can’t help himself. He’s incapable of letting go, which stops him from ever being happy.

FakeGreekGirl,

Sure, but that just goes back to the original point - he’s super weirdly obsessed with greed and hate and being a control freak, and will never be happy no matter how much money he has.

Money can’t make you happy, but the lack of money can certainly make you unhappy.

FakeGreekGirl,

It’s a big ball of wibbly wobbly queery weery… stuff.

FakeGreekGirl,

Yeah, except in this case it’s the megacorp sticking the stick in the spokes and the workers at the studio getting thrown off.

FakeGreekGirl,

Gotta tell you, coming to the Midwest and being exposed to the gas stations here like Quiktrip and Casey’s was a revelation. All we had on the west coast was AM/PM, and those guys are hot garbage.

FakeGreekGirl,

I think most people are fine with it as long as you’re genuinely trying to make the effort to be better.

It’s when your age becomes an excuse to not bother that it becomes a problem.

FakeGreekGirl,

They spent six figures on a truck that looks like ass, drives like ass, can’t actually do truck things, falls apart in the rain and is the brainchild of the world’s biggest douchebag.

FakeGreekGirl,

It’s the latter that really seals it, IMHO. The Cybertruck is the most purely Elon vehicle to come out of Tesla, and the first since Elon went full mask-off. Buying it, at great personal expense, and driving it around is basically saying you approve of everything he’s doing.

FakeGreekGirl,

Yeah, Mythbusters is fun and interesting, but don’t mistake it for a scientific study. IIRC, Adam Savage himself has said they couldn’t really apply the level of scientific rigor it would take to actually prove things due to the format of the show.

Still, it is food for thought.

FakeGreekGirl,

Are we talking just contemporary people? Because John Brown, as a historical figure, is a great inspiration for me.

FakeGreekGirl,

I would disagree. How you dress, how you present, how you act, these are all things that speak without words. I would call those speech.

Truthfully, though, if I were coining the phrase, I would have said “freedom of expression” and “freedom of thought” instead of “freedom of speech” and “freedom of worship”. Both of those are broader categories that encapsulate the concepts FDR articulated. After all, what is worship but conceptualizing the deep thoughts about where the universe came from, and finding a community of like minded folks?

FakeGreekGirl,

Unfortunately, you are far too right about far too many people.

FakeGreekGirl,

Yeah, most people in history say amazing things and then turn out to be fucking monsters. Especially in American history.

But just because they’re awful fucking hypocrites doesn’t mean what they said has no value.

FakeGreekGirl,

Who’s trying to take that right away?

FakeGreekGirl,

Who’s doing that?

FakeGreekGirl,

So all of the groups in the comic have actual legislators passing laws against their ability to express themselves and control their own bodies and relationships, and you’re mad some moderator of some online community somewhere told you to go be an asshole somewhere else.

Touch grass.

FakeGreekGirl,

No, you’re not against bigots and fascist assholes. You’re just trying to coopt that language and try to draw a parallel between community moderators moderating their community and bigoted, fascist assholes literally oppressing people. I wasn’t born yesterday.
