So true.

The thing is, no rational person could have seen this coming. /s

Ok, I laughed a lot. Didn’t see that coming, but it was funny because it’s so believable.
- Comment on Call to defederate from feddit.org over zionism 7 hours ago:
No. That’s why it’s a belief. That’s also why I stated that if it turned out to be wrong, I would consider Hamas just as bad as Israel.
- Comment on Call to defederate from feddit.org over zionism 7 hours ago:
Agreed. I periodically check to confirm that SDF is not blocking other instances and feel pride at the free thought. That’s part of why I changed my mind and amended the post. This is a topic that matters more to me than a lot of other reasons people on other instances have called for defedding. But rational arguments in the comments pulled me back. Thanks all.

Cogent points. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

This is the third comment making me reconsider.
- Comment on Call to defederate from feddit.org over zionism 23 hours ago:
Well-argued. I’ll give this some thought.
- Comment on Call to defederate from feddit.org over zionism 23 hours ago:
whether you as an instance owner have the right to police “your” users in this way.
I don’t run SDF. I’m just an enduser. Thanks for taking the time to write a thoughtful reply.

I’m not pro-Hamas but I dislike Israel more because Hamas are fighting their captors. I can understand that. I believe if Palestine was granted statehood and equal rights, Hamas would cease operating. If it continued to operate, I would be anti-Hamas as much as I am anti-Israel. The power imbalance makes treating them with equal disdain irrational.
- Comment on Call to defederate from feddit.org over zionism 23 hours ago:
I’m not deliberately misinterpreting anything. Please explain what I was to understand differently because these three points are wretched:
Calling for a destruction, annihilation, an end of all Zionism or the like.
Equating Israeli actions and (historical) Nazism.
The slogan “from the river…”
We should end zionism. Israel is treating Palestinians exactly as the nazis treated Jews and Romani peoples. The slogan is hopeful, not threatening.

My post doesn’t seem to violate these rules, even if I find them overly-restrictive. Glad to see that it wasn’t removed.

I’ve noticed intermittent issues on my instance as well. Perhaps targeted disruption.

Talk therapy has been a godsend for me developing emotionally and as a result socially. It takes years, so it’s not a magic pill. But I’m a version of myself that seemed completely unobtainable when I was younger and the changes are very positive. Takes a lot of working on yourself.

Struggled with this when I landed a certain job where everyone had degrees and I didn’t. Flipped it because my getting there through self-taught knowledge was more impressive. Fuck everyone, I deserve to be where I am.

You know what? I’m convinced. If the mother of a rapist pedo doesn’t want to forgive student loans, she’s probably right about government policy. In fact, she should run for office. /s

An Oklahoma man accused of sneaking into a teenage girl’s bedroom in the middle of the night in Battlefield and then raping and assaulting her was sentenced on Friday, Jan. 24 to 20 years in prison.
Patrick Shane Sparkman, 41, entered Alford pleas of guilty to the charges of first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy. As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors dropped one count of sodomy, two counts of molestation of a child between the ages of 4 and 17, one count of enticement of a child and one count of third-degree assault.
According to online court records, Greene County Judge Kaiti Greenwade sentenced Sparkman to 10 years for the rape charge and 10 years for the sodomy charge and ordered those sentences be served consecutively.
An Alford plea under Missouri law means a defendant does not admit they committed a crime, but admits prosecuting attorneys have enough evidence against them that a court could reasonably convict them of a crime.
Charging documents described Sparkman as someone who’d been living in Battlefield at the time of the assault on Dec. 31, 2023, but had few ties to the area. He was arrested on March 29, 2024.
According to the probable cause statement used to charge Sparkman, he “claimed he had no memory of the event ever happening. He stated he had been drinking heavily during the day which amounted to what he described was a ‘handle’ of alcohol.”
A handle of liquor is a 1.75 liter bottle of liquor; it has 39 1.5-ounce shots in it.
The victim told police the assault lasted about two hours. She also told police she told Sparkman “no” several times and that Sparkman at one point choked her.
The probable cause statement says the investigating officer contacted the Stillwater, Oklahoma, police department about a “past rape charge” against Sparkman and obtained information that case involved a 10-year-old victim.
Sparkman is from Oklahoma and has no ties to Battlefield, according to court documents.
Sparkman remains in the Greene County Jail awaiting transport to a Missouri Department of Corrections prison.

- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 3 days ago:
Maybe Lemmy has a decent amount of users who are more inclined to nerd stuff like Linux and frisbee? I don’t care for sports or cars or other “cool” dude stuff. But I love computers and books and frisbee (which I don’t get to throw nearly enough). This just got me thinking. I’m gonna actively try to get some friends together to toss the bee. In my forties. Like we were in our teens. Thanks for inspiring me.

Never been a thing between me and my parents. I’m sure they want me to be in a happy relationship, but they’ve never pressured me. I assume those that do are influenced by social norms or some such peer pressure.
