That makes alot of sense, but also makes me feel extra old. So do me a favor and GET OFF MY LAWN π€£

No I still believe actions have consequences, I'm saying either they do or they don't and people who want to play it both ways need to STFU.
However, while of course you can't police what goes out in an envelope, I don't think these materials should have been allowed to ship. Of course, while they say little Billy knowing the 2 guys next door are in love is too much for his fragile little brain the "won't someone think of the kids" crowd don't bat an eye at little Billy running down to the mailbox and pulling out a fearmongering postcard about genital mutilation.
I'm happy to block people. I don't owe anybody my time or energy, if they're tedious and annoying in situation a, they probably will be in B as well.
Its the internet, I just dont care. I'm going to make my experience tolerable and if I can't I'll leave. π€·ββοΈ
That seems to be the case for me. My app (connect) won't let me interact with those users but IIRC on web I can (don't take my word though its been a while.)
Their free speech is bad. OK.
Yeah, hate speech is bad. IDGAF about your free speech when that speech is "I think this group I don't like should be eliminated or removed from society."
If this were a conservative refusing to deliver liberal info you'd call the refusal free speech itself and argue firing her is illegal - so y'all can sit the fuck down.
I'm just here to watch people who cheered and defended the lady who wouldn't marry a gay couple suddenly care about government employees doing their job regardless of opinion.
They always fucked with my stomach, it was weird. Only brand that messed with me like that. π€·ββοΈ
Obligatory "glad I quit" statement lol
I always imagine people who die on this hill just admiring the title screen of every game in their library for 5 seconds and calling it a gaming session lol.
Granted, I am in a bible belt rural city, but I've realized if you stick out the conversation with some of these Trumpy Christians long enough you'll get to the heart - They really do just.... want to be told what to think. You have to play nice to get them there, but they eventually drill down to some variation of "Gods word is law and my pastors word is gods word and anything else is satanic bullshit we're not meant to know if we were it'd be in the bible or my pastor would tell me, as God intended." Scientific advancement is either fake or heathens dragging us further and further from god because Satan guides them to knowledge about the world.
I can't speak for everyone of course but its nuts to see how many people really are still ALL IN on "the apple is knowledge, Eve ate the apple, and that ripped us away from god for eternity - we were meant to be nothing but sheep"
Hell yeah dawg let's spend millions to benefit the human population!
"NO! THATS SOCIALISMS! What I MEANT was hand it all to billionaires for absolutely no reason!"
I'm 37 (as of a few days ago,) med retired, and after covid and my breakup after covid ive been hyper isolated. It obviously has its own issues and problems but man I'm really glad I dont mind it too much and at least have a couple people I see occasionally.
I really hope people like this pull up from leaning on AI for human interaction. I'm on here a lot but at least y'all are other folk.
