In parallel they also have a stranglehold on the venues so they get to decide what bands are even worthy of having concerts at all… yay capitalism gives us so much freedom

Personally I think it’s fine to err on the side of snark. If someone runs away because of it they probably weren’t ready yet anyway.

i do the same… i don’t want to spend my time arguing with people who are just arguing in bad faith, and i don’t want to spend time arguing with people who want to nitpick and tell me what i can and cannot say according to their own personal opinions

the internet is a big place with so many possibilities… I’m not going to feel bad about blocking people at all

edit: having said that last bit i realize I’m guilty of nitpicking things that annoy me but i never tell anyone they cannot say this or that thing

I think it’s because the programming cuts off the ability to see that the programming isn’t actual education nor does it encourage thought, but quite the opposite. So if someone disagrees it’s because they have different programming and that is the only explanation. It’s all brainless knee-jerk reaction.

same, hard agree, but it’s also so easy to fall back into thinking people are dumb when frustration mounts

dammit, i fell into the trap again… found this and nearly threw up https://lemmy.ml/comment/1482418

Well the plans have been laid for decades now so it’s not a surprise to anyone.

I accidentally clicked lemmy.ml instead of lemmygrad.ml in my bookmarks today – what a horror show… i hadn’t actually visited it in the past couple weeks but it seems to show no signs of slowing its crazy descent into a reddit clone

lol!

only crappy thing about Jerboa is having to copy and paste image comments to a browser to see them in a non-ant sized resolution

wait, are they converting their shovels into missiles or?

i honestly didn’t know it was so liberal until the shitlibs showed up and destroyed all conversation that didn’t agree with them

then i remembered i had an account here and i just don’t go back there anymore

oh man… is that a thing or did you just make it up? i can’t believe I’ve never heard anyone say Beijing Biden before

story as old as time… technology can be used for good and for bad

unfortunately capitalists always find the worst ways to use the most powerful technology

my mom and stepdad thought they were going to be landlords at one point too… they had no idea what they were doing, bought land in a floodplain unknowingly, ended up unable to build anything and sold for less money than they bought for

they also tried to breed our little shihtzu but he wasn’t into it, he liked his stuffed monkey more

kept working on my stable diffusion skills/rng

the brainworm infestation has proved devastating

precisely but it’s really just the path of least resistance

it is if the stars align… i had considered myself a liberal for most of my life because i was one… i hated the system but i never looked beyond it and was blind to reality.

one day that changed… people i respected shit all over me for something i thought we were definitely all in the same page about. i got all upset and started digging for information to prove them wrong and discovered a whole other mindset out there that aligned far better with what i felt deep down then i was able to go back and read posts and tweets in a whole new light and everything made so much more sense. and i got even more pissed, but pissed for the right reasons this time. pissed that i had been so blind all my life and never bothered to try to think for myself. pissed that everyone i knew personally was just as blind and now hated when i tried to tell them to also look beyond the programming… because of course that’s a tired and played out trope that everyone has heard a hundred times.

i dunno, i think if someone sincerely believes that things are not right with the world they can open their mind given the right opportunity to crack through that seemingly impenetrable wall of self-satisfied ignorance and pride.

but you can’t force anyone to see it

that has been the case all along

a for-profit prison?
