Took the words right out of my mouth. I will never say a single unkind word to an obese person, I was there too once and know how hard it is, but lets not pretend it’s healthy to be that way either.

if it’s not my body, it’s none of my fucking business.

Please don’t be obtuse. When it gets put into an ad campaign aimed at me and the 99.9% of other people where looking like would be extremely bad for our own personal health, it becomes our business.

Look at it another way, a year ago would you have said to an antivaxxer / antimasker “who am I to judge”? The effects here are much more subtle and take more time, but the same logic applies, and the results of inaction are no less insidious.

So sure, all right, maybe a single person might be all right without a vaccine/without a mask/eating only 30 calories a day, but that is not something that should be encouraged. And the dumbass republicans/marketers who spread this behavior should be called out and shamed.

I think the ones on the left are better than the ones on the right. This is an apolitical statement.

“I’m not a windmill person,” he said at one point.

“I have a castle,” he said at another.

Of his golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland, he testified: “At some point, maybe in my very old age, I’ll go there and do the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. Aberdeen is the oil capital of Europe, very rich,” Trump began to say, but he was interrupted by the judge shouting, “Irrelevant!” Trump murmured, “It is.”

Hours into his testimony, Trump attempted to read from a piece of paper he retrieved from his pocket. “I’d love to read this, your honor, if I could. Am I allowed to do that?” Trump asked. The judge said no.

On his way out of court, Kise further applauded Trump’s performance, telling reporters: “In 33 years, I’ve never had a witness testify better.”

This would be a blockbuster comedy if it wasn’t real

“Let the ruling classes tremble at a Feline revolution. The kittens have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world of catnip to win!”

The only one that might have a legitimate argument is Freddy. He was burned to death by a vigilante mob after being “cleared” by the justice system. So one could understand his need for revenge. (Just ignore the fact that he really was a child killer and only got off on a technicality)

Maybe they’re talking about that song by Pink, in which case I 100% sympathize with OP’s point

Meh, whatever. Even if the fediverse were to never get any bigger, it’s still a win. This place is big enough to be stable and generate it’s own content and culture. All that matters is if you’re enjoying it here and actively trying to make it a better place.

Yeah, you would learn some things, but you’d end up speaking like cringy middle schooler. Business and daily life conversations are significantly different from anime and manga ones.

Given enough time, all graveyards are like that

On that note, never stick your dick in peanut butter, because that would be fucking nuts

Stupid sexy cheddar won’t leave me alone

lol, sorry, wasn’t calling you out specifically or anything. I meant in a more general sense

to be honest, I think both are pretty cringe

Fuck if I know, it’s kbin for me

Oh god! People might find out about Lemmy, fuck what do we do???

As long as it’s not actually something stolen from another site, what’s the harm?

Not gonna lie, this is something I’d probably try if I had the means to do it

Say what an a-hole

On reddit the only thing that matters is the first few votes. The content of your comment doesn’t matter, people will pile on the upvotes or downvotes because agreeing with the group gives you a dopamine rush

Maybe I’m just a cynic, but this seems very much part of the PR script for any controversy of the past 20 years or so.

1. Cause controversy

2. Get backlash

3. Say there were death threats in basklash

4. Paint opposition in bad light, claim to be the real victim and bask in all the feel good comments from people saying “it was controversial, but come on, death threats are not cool”

5. Conversation derailed, continue as planned

Seriously, go look at one of the comment threads on that other site. It’s now all about how “deranged indie devs” are hurting honest hard working Unity employees. Maybe it was a real threat, maybe it wasn’t, but they’re sure as fuck going to milk it for all they can now.
