  It’s the majority. The 99%. It’s Lemmy.

  Forget state and corporate surveillance. You are being watched by a hivebeast with a thousand eyes. It’s the people around you. So conforming that they are barely individuals. The hivebeast is not kind, or even very smart, but it is powerful and it demands your compliance.

  I’ve actually internalized all of the correct thoughts so doing/saying/thinking the wrong thing is impossible for me. That you would insinuate the possibility of the alternative is frankly suspicious. I’m putting your name on my list.

  That feeling when you wake up Christmas morning to find your chimney all gaped-out and smeared with lube.

  Fighting racism with more racism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can you explain a smell you've never smelled before?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t describe any sensation. Not sight, sound, smell, feeling. None of that. All you can do is refer to a shared sensation.

  “You smell that?”

  Underlining my point for the tragically obtuse.

  The troll offers bullshit.

  Science defeats bullshit by requiring a strong reference to observation etc.

  In polite, sane company this is a non-issue.

  But in the greater conversation, ya, it’s an issue. Trolls happen.
