I keep tuning maybe I don’t have adhd and then I read posts like this.

Zoom in and look at the wood grain under the spoon.

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t because of any specifically fascist culinary habits.

Do you mean Idiocracy?

So much this.

Doofus.

You and I then share our disgust at our country committing an incomprehensible act of self-harm leaving the EU. At least you have the consolation of Scotland voting remain; England has no such insight. I would like to apologise on behalf of English and Wales for the barbaric stupidity that has been forced upon us all. And Scotland rarely supports rightwing UK governments, having a heart in the right place and a head firmly screwed on, voting left more than not. I can understand Scots wanting to quit the UK, but I’m very very grateful indeed that you all haven’t. If Nicola Sturgeon had been Prime Minister of all of the UK, tens of thousands of dead English folk would still be alive today post covid.

It works because the EU nations are stronger together, and musk can’t rebel against this fine without risking a big chunk of his profits.

They managed to find enough people who didn’t already realise that trump is a lying, cheating pile of shit whip doesn’t have an honest bone in his body for his trial.

Could you provide an alternate link? Or maybe use the image button to upload it to your instance so it’s out of the control of some corporation?

(Imgur deleted a bunch of content for the crime of not having a paid subscription, and they geoblock my country because the data protection commission threatened them with a fine for selling children’s browsing history and they’d rather take it out on users than simply filter the accounts they auto-tagged as children out of the data they were selling. We left reddit for a reason. Imgur is no less moneygrabbing.)

They invented an internet poop camera and people actually buy it?!

The person who got this done is persuasive as fuck and should be in sales, not R&D.

I’m a mint guy and cis, but I wear my socks at more of an ubuntu level. Is it because I also like functional programming?

Shout out to all the cool trans geeks, though.

You’d go trans for me? Sweet.

Can’t tell you how excited I am to read this headline, despite the feeling that I really oughtn’t count my chickens before they’ve hatched.

I think I’m falling in love with you. Is that gay?

You’re right and I should stop being so rude to you. You’re so wise. I respect you as the source of this viewpoint so very much because you live it out in such an exemplary fashion.

try another round of edits

The edits are because I mistype stuff or realise that it doesn’t say what I intended when I read through it, or I left something out. Today suggests to me that you might benefit from trying that occasionally. It clearly doesn’t suggest it to you, I see.

The day I start to care how many internet points I’m getting

Dude, the points are evidence that your comment came across badly, no more. Something you could learn from, but it’s increasingly clear you would do or say anything rather than back down. I’m guessing you see apology as weak and admitting your mistakes as defeat or some other fucked up macho fake alpha fragile masculinity bullshit like that.

before I do work up some “hatred” to turn on someone

Oh no! I’m so scared!

Wait, you still think you were being nice or polite or something already? Wow.

you kinda suck

Whereas you’re all sweetness and light. Gotcha.

Need to quit engaging with you

Feel free. I shan’t miss you a great deal.

You could go back to interacting with those friends you were telling me about. Presumably ones that don’t mind you saying you’ll sabotage their income stream because they didn’t live up to your principles.

Well I’m petty sure you were coming across as obnoxious and the vote count seems to agree.

If most people are interpreting the things you said earlier in the thread negatively, maybe the cause is in the writer than the reader.

Maybe have another look and see if you mightn’t have written a bit of a sourpost originally, and reconsider your tone next time if you genuinely mean no harm.

Some of us need to earn a living from coding, and I don’t like the idea that you would rather destroy the earning potential of a one-person team than compromise your politics at all even a little bit.

Turn your hatred on the exploitative multinational corporations, not the little guy trying to earn a living from his code.

There’s principles, and there’s actual people, and the people are far, far more important. Don’t be so quick to condemn the little guy for wanting a bit of cash while Besos and the like screw us both over on the daily with billions in their pockets.

People aren’t corporations, and confusing those is partly how America got so extreme in its capitalism.

Paradoxically, the empty set is U+2205.

THEY ARE PLAYING US FOR ABSOLUTE FOOLS!
