  I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. it could be a lot worse than death by titties

  No I more meant that OP could keep their lead perpetually by not having kids who could top them.

  By not having kids, you could cement your place as #1 titty seer of your bloodline

  Well you see trying to stop a genocide or convince a candidate to come out against it incurs a risk that we might lose an election to a fascist. Luckily since the people who cared are an inconsequential number of non-voting leftists, we can be assured our refusal to take political action or even remotely try to hear out Palestinian voices will guarantee the election. Better to be safe and not try, because that way things can’t get drastically worse right? Right.

  /s just in case

  If they left it at OneDrive that would be one thing, but I don’t believe for a second that “We helped enable surveillance and AI targeting of drone strikes in a genocidal campaign” Microsoft is not more deeply involved than OneDrive

  Makes me want to scream. Social security as is sucks. Current regime would use its reconstruction to wreak unimaginable cruelty on everyone they can, but the current system needs to go. We need to build systems outside state control to fill every need that can be denied to people based on access to the social security system. 🙃😡💀

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not about being rude it’s about not being nice

  The first words are ‘I’m always a little mean’ so I think rude counts. I understand the motivation for doing this, but this is a strategy that the more it is applied the less it works. The core issue is men taking small deviations from their expected social treatment as flirting, and I think that moving the expectation lower by being meaner means that it will take less ‘nice’ to accidentally communicate interest, thereby making it worse in the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Conversely if you are this triggered by a neutral response to a shitpost maybe switch to a social media that just doesn’t allow replies?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t fathom being so sensitive and so chronically online that you need to post a genuine Response to a fucking jokey post about girls needing to be a little mean to make creepy dudes go away.

  Oh no, I’ve replied to a meme in a non-hostile way without downvoting it and boosted its platform visibility. How dare I?

  If you ever wonder, “Why am I single? Why won’t someone date me?” It’s because you say stupid shit like this. You’re not a victim, dude, so stop acting like one.

  Engaged, but appreciate the concern for my dating life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a pattern that if applied broadly feels guaranteed to spiral into the opposite of the desired outcome.

  1. Be rude as a rule to men

  2. Men interpret what was once ‘rude’ as normal behavior

  3. Stepping positively outside the new normal gets interpreted as possible sexual interest

  4. Now you are required to be even ruder baseline to avoid misinterpretation, and men just get treated worse socially.

  I’m not sure if you use the term tankie correctly.

  Quite right. I was using it this way because it is used often incorrectly on Lemmy and I figured it would get the point I was making across.

  But I can never agree with a tankie claiming to share those values while supporting regimes that would make even marx and lenin vomit (or I hope so, even though I’m not their fan and don’t know that much about them).

  Very easy to end up sharing those values and supporting regimes that don’t agree simply with the prevalence of misinformation, or sometimes when a difference in priorities is masquerading as a difference in values. As someone who is not a fan of nation states in general, I just try to sus out if people are in ironically on board with atrocities or just disagree about the history but would be horrified if they believed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anarchists and Tankies could benefit from a Codex Alera 'Gadara' relationship a.k.a. trusted enemies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes! 6 Book series, and the first is Furies of Calderon. Trigger warnings for sexual violence and sex trafficking, but its a neat little series based on the idea of crossing the lost Roman legion and Pokémon if that doesn’t bother you.

  Has several cute romances and the wolf people are absolutely sick. They come in during book 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anarchists and Tankies could benefit from a Codex Alera 'Gadara' relationship a.k.a. trusted enemies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the litmus test for tankies is whether they blindly support modern era china, russia, and nk, all authright empires

  This is pretty close to my own thoughts, though my definition might go more into the ideological underpinnings of those positions. There’s also a lot of leeway in the “blindly” on that one, and I would guess I am less likely to label someone a tankie than others here.

  The term is thrown around pretty loosely on Lemmy. I’ve been called a tankie on here for criticizing democrats and for disagreeing with specific criticisms of the Trump regime (things like going after Melania’s nudes or other things I find entirely trivial next to the monstrous crimes) so I expected it to be taken as the more vibes based usage here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anarchists and Tankies could benefit from a Codex Alera 'Gadara' relationship a.k.a. trusted enemies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tankies as a whole, no. Individual tankies absolutely could be. Also it is quite possible to be honorable and still evil, you can be a villain and still be honest and idealistic enough to be trusted to act against a common enemy. If a tankie told me they would put me against the wall if they had the power, but would never betray me to ICE that is a slim common ground, but being that direct I might trust enough to share info or loosely coordinate against ICE

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anarchists and Tankies could benefit from a Codex Alera 'Gadara' relationship a.k.a. trusted enemies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The key is finding the axis along which your interests align, and finding an individual enemy whose motivations are enough to trust. If you find for instance a halal butcher who the corporate player is trying to crush, you might find yourself someone with means and motivation to help you improve the world somewhat before your division reasserts itself. It isn’t so much ‘let’s compromise’ as it is ‘we might never get along, but destroying the meat corporation is a matter of survival for both of us’

  I mean yeah that kinda works as a metaphor. Imagine if vegans and butchers teamed up to destroy Tyson foods before going back to being enemies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anarchists and Tankies could benefit from a Codex Alera 'Gadara' relationship a.k.a. trusted enemies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re probably right, I’d be quite happy if the ‘fight’ at the end between tankies and anarchists was simply diplomatic. Having met a few people who I would qualify as red-fash though, I am not fully optimistic on that count. My point is I guess that a pragmatic approach to building working relationships on a low-trust basis will get us to that point more readily than completely dismissing each other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anarchists and Tankies could benefit from a Codex Alera 'Gadara' relationship a.k.a. trusted enemies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If their goals align with fash they can’t, that’s kind of the beauty of this relationship. Also gadara are personal relations not organisational ones in-universe, so it isn’t so much can tankies as a whole be trusted and more of a can this individual tankie be counted on to act against fash. Its also somewhat circumstance based, if I understand their motivations and ideals, I can probably determine if a given fash threat will be enough to keep their mind on the right target.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sort of. Roguelike’s defining feature as a genre is the reset of all player progression between runs, and the random generation of the runs themselves. Basic progression is transitory, so a name for progression that goes outside the runs and doesn’t reset is useful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if the Epstein files are the distraction?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they are more or less. Like everything in them is monstrous and the people who perpetrated it deserve to be uncovered, but its also dangling the ‘easy’ solution to Trump in front of people. You’re less likely to do something substantial to resist the admin if you think any day now the bombshell is going to shatter their hold on power. Doesn’t matter how real the bomb is if waiting for it to go off stops you from using other means to save people now.

  The more power Trump amasses through ICE, the less likely the Epstein files will ever make an impact. I guess my real thought is that getting justice for the crimes in the Epstein files depends on breaking their hold on power first, and not the other way around. Its real, its important, we should care about it, but it is not a means to also defeating fascism

  None for the male to male especially, because there is no way to involve it in a hot system that doesn’t involve having an exposed prong carrying the receptacles voltage. The female to female is still dangerous, but doesn’t inherently expose the circuit to whatever is in the environment.

  One of the creatures I’m most worried about meeting camping or hiking is a moose. If they had a moose’s temperament they would have been one of the most terrifying things to walk the earth. They would also probably be getting hammered off fermented prehistoric fruit
