Or Janeway will murder it!?

You understand perfectly: Karening is always a choice, if only there were more people (like you I guess) that would self-identity by choosing their names to let us know their personality!? :-)

Pro-Tip: don't Google that phrase (learn from my mistake yo!:-)

That's... what? What?! WHAT!?

To anyone else reading, note the @lemmy.ml after their name. There are only so many times people of intelligence can hear the most batshit insane things on Lemmy without either willfully losing IQ points or else blocking the lemmy.ml instance.

Unfortunately, that does next to nothing, bc you'll still see every single batshit insane comment like the above. Every. Single. One. And while it might be a bug, you can sometimes get replies from them too (while other times blissfully not).

Maybe I'll make an account on Lemmy.cafe, which is the only instance I've ever heard of that has actually defederated from lemmy.ml. Though I'm holding out more hope for Sublinks, Piefed, and Mbin too to help address such issues.

Stay safe folks - election season is coming and there are some who want to fuck you up if at all possible (not necessarily the above comment, just in general), don't let it happen!

There are those - like Jules Verne, HG Wells, and yes Orwell - who can see far into the future not because they are fucking magicians or whatever, but bc they allowed themselves to see clearly. Which in turn I think comes from mental discipline to ruthlessly weed out the false thoughts that would choke the life out of the true ones.

Anyway I'm full of trite quotes in this reply I guess but even so, those who don't learn from their history are doomed to repeat it, and lately I (who lives in America) am very worried about that thought... and yet there too it is history that gives me comfort. No nation (afaict) has ever survived devolving into a 2-party state, but even Rome fell too once upon a time... long may it live.

Cowbee is notorious for not actually answering questions, just throwing up the same articles to read and asking people to DM them to continue the conversation. Make what you will of that info - are deeds done in the light of logical discourse inherently "better" than those done in darkness, i.e. are facts that can stand up to scrutiny somehow more "correct" than those that can only be whispered in the dark to those most vulnerable individuals still living in the cave?

Just like the USA's experiment with far-right ideology, and also just like the COVID pandemic - knowledge that it will eventually implode seems not to matter one bit.

Obvious to you (and me), yet somehow they themselves don't see it.

Wow, she is so Karen that her parents even named her that decades ago in the past - that's some dedicated Karening right there! (/s:-D)

We got tired of all that winning.

If you go back far enough, all food was poop at some point. And will be again, that's the beauty of it.:-)

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, except not the first one bc it's on Lemmy.ml.
