I commented on one of my other accounts that I.was looking at the BYD electric sedan because its cheap, fast AF and I can charge it off my home solar.

Apparently I am party to the slaughter of The Uyghur people and I should be ashamed of myself.

All of fucking Lemmy.

I’m a normie, I dont Linux, I dont communist, I dont vegan, I dont FOSS, I dont care about hiding behind over 9000 proxies for muh privacy.

I used to Reddit for memes, lulz and banter but they killed my preferred app and turned the site to shit so I bounced to the alternative, but in the last year this place is becoming increasingly fuckin negative, I find more actual humor on facebook.

Some of you need to laugh at a fart joke once in a while.

I was on 4chan one night at least 15 years ago, depressed and drunk and I just unloaded my fucking problems. Didnt even greentext just wordvomit.

Anons talked to me about my shit for a few hours and it really helped. I was touched. I came on a few days later and was like “Hey anons, thanks for the help a few days ago, Ive sorted out a bunch of my problems and life is feeling so much better. So… thanks” and everyone told me to kill myself.

Was lulz.

Ok… as a filthy casual. Can someone fill me in?

Ive built racecars too and I love the optimism of these people. Its always slightly depressing to have to explain to them “Buddy, if there was an affordable way to easily make 1000 reliable HP without sacrificing anything for a reasonable figure. We would all have done it.”

You can, but its a LOT of running.

There isnt an ideology out there that hasnt turned someone toxic.

Religion, veganism, spiritualism, politicians, flat earthers… all of it. Some people are just looking for something to cling to and define themselves.

Its his responsibility for what happened to him.

Think less “Tour de france” and more “sunday boardwalk cruise” just trying to not let the pedals stop moving.

I know a dude who did this with a standing desk and an exercise bike when WOW was huge and he put on 20kg in a year.

Thats the point, at one time it was pure chaos and it was SO racist, homophobic and sexist that it transcended it. A lot of people now are literally too young to remember the “glory” days.

The only thing that mattered was the bantz and how funny or fucked up you could be. “Tits or GTFO” wasnt implying that women werent welcome or a lower class, it meant that it wasnt relevant to the shitposting. Canadians were called “Syrup Ni**ers” or “Leaf f*gs” regardless. It was horrifying and at the same time amazing because we all knew it was just lulz. But people took the edgelord humor and made it their personality, they took it seriously. It became a cesspit.

“Why were you watching!?!”

“Because a screaming naked weird cunt with a sword at 5am is unusual you fucking autist”

I would absolutely watch this movie.

Nah my dude, that was beautiful.

How many people have parents who are neglectful, abusive or manipulative. Kids are abandoned by parents who chose gambling, drugs, alcohol… hell even the new boyfriend/girlfriend over their kids.

Anon KNOWS they were loved, absolutely and totally. How many people out there can think back and put their finger on the moment they understood the depth of their parents love?

Thats when you go to the hardware store, get a 1L tin mixed up in the same purple and paint some other shit in your place so it looks like its by design.

Wait till you rent the truck, turn up at their house to collect the item and they tell you they just sold it. But you can have your deposit back…

And thats assuming you also have a vehicle to move it and the seller doesnt dick you around at all.

Keyword there is “find”

If your hobby is trawling second hand and antique stores, yard sales, estate sales and online classifieds looking for just the perfect high quality but affordable end tables that match your decor. Then go on with your bad self, I bet your house looks sweet.

I can go onto the Ikea website, find some cabinets that will do the job, I can check the measurements, pick my color, click a few buttons and they arrive at my house in a few days.

Because that 2 lifetimes table doesnt cost $800 thats what grandma paid for it in the 50s when buying a 4 bedroom house for $30,000 and working at the mill for 50 years was normal.

It also weighs 3 tons and given that you live in a shitty 1 bedroom apartment and have to move every 6 months to an even smaller shoebox that costs an increasing % of your income every damn time, Its probably for the best that your shit is disposable.
