On Lemmy, idk. Some definitely exist.
Anywhere else, a lot more
- Comment on bisexual 22 hours ago:
More seriously, I think erasure is only part of it. Lots of LGBTQ folks deliberately remain in the closet for the sake of family relationships, careers, and local politics.
If you’re bi, it’s just easier.
But that heterosexual camouflage does get confusing to process when you “come out”. Especially with the reactionary attitude that heterosexuality is a choice.

The brutal math of selection bias. Ten people read your post. Nine of them shrug and move on. One of them stops to verbally fuck up your shit.
- Comment on bisexual 1 day ago:
At least one.

I mean, this is the same guy who said we’d be living on Mars in 2025.

At what point does pride become delusion?
- Comment on bisexual 1 day ago:
You are only bisexual if you are engaged in sex with two people of the opposite sex simultaneously.
Otherwise, you’re just Schrodinger’s Gay.
- Comment on Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers 1 day ago:
However you want to phrase it, they’re very different problems with different solutions.
“Someone picked the lock on my door and got into my house” is meaningfully distinct from “Someone stole my keys”.

You can keep your nasty chips
- Comment on Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers 1 day ago:
You can argue it’s a classic ID-10T error in your workflow.
But nobody has discovered a security vulnerability within the system architecture. This is the system operating as designed, abet with the wrong person standing in front of the terminal.

So just driving under a truck, or drifting is cool, but jumping a building to blow up a helicopter with your car is dumb?
That’s correct.

Possibly the peak of the franchise, assuming you enjoy drag racing more than professional musicians launching cars into space.

Germany is tasked to lead the free world against Russia, America, China, and India

this is a fucking joke
Seems more like an incel joke to me.
- Comment on hol up 3 days ago:
A lot of this is rooted in the media and politics of the community. I’ve watched older peers fall down the FOX News rabbit hole, becoming increasingly paranoid and hostile towards practically everyone outside the conservative base.
Churches that see Republican politics as a way of raising money will happily play along.

I don’t know how we got from exploding pagers to space lasers.
- Comment on EU review indicates Israel breached human rights in Gaza 4 days ago:
Reading the report right here and… yes, yes… it’s saying Jeffrey Dahmer wasn’t nice to some people.
- Comment on no way right 4 days ago:
Why does Trump need an actual terrorist attack. He can just show up on TV, flash an AI generated face-melting re-edit of a scene from the TV show 24, announce “We are under attack and must respond immediately”, and fire up the bombers.
At this point, I bet you that you could show Trump a deep fried still-image meme and convince him that we need to strike back.
- Comment on It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused unlawful government. 4 days ago:
I await with interest your explanation as to how and why private gun ownership “caused and supported” the current unlawful government
Dollars to Donuts half those badgeless, masked vigilantes kidnapping people from immigration courts are members of the NRA.

“Resisting Unlawful Government” is when you need to fight a Ranger who is trying to keep your stray cows from grazing in a public park.
“Stop Breaking the Law, Asshole!” is when you need to throw on a mask, wave a gun, and snatch someone into a van after they showed up to court for a green card hearing.
- Comment on Dear Leader 4 days ago:
FOX News had it wall-to-wall all day. But the spectacle was lame, so it was mostly talking heads standing over the front talking about how amazing it was, while the parade was fully obscured in the background.
- Comment on Dear Leader 4 days ago:
I’m sure the roads were still proper fucked by the end of it. And I fully expect to see Congressional hearings over why the DC city government allowed potholes to get this bad.
- Comment on SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight 4 days ago:
Proximity to the equator and high elevation make for ideal launch sites. Then eastward facing, because you want to run counter to the earth’s spin as you launch and be out over open water if something fucks up. One reason why Kenya, Brazil, and Indonesia were floated as a high efficiency international spaceports decades ago, when efficiency was considered more important than inflating a billionaire’s ego.
- Comment on SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight 4 days ago:
I mean… its a big deal if you’re anywhere near the launchpad. Or, in or around South Padre Island.
Also can’t help but notice that Starbase, Texas is practically hugging the US/Mexico border. Almost as though Abbott didn’t want this shit landing in his own backyard when it failed.
- Comment on Rich people know their cosmetic surgery is obvious and uncanny, but that's the point; it's a way of signalling that you belong in a certain income bracket and that you're part of the 1% 4 days ago:
Just put on Marti Grais masks, you freaks
- Comment on Is the U.S. Vulnerable to a Drone Sneak Attack? 5 days ago:
Heavy Lift drones can carry upwards of 55 lbs. And there’s no reason you’re limited to one.
- Comment on Trump extends the TikTok ban deadline for a third time; there is no legal basis for the extensions and it is unclear how many times the deadline can be extended 5 days ago:
We’ve been busting through constitutional amendments with abandon. I don’t think you could point to one that this administration would honor or respect.
- Comment on Trump extends the TikTok ban deadline for a third time; there is no legal basis for the extensions and it is unclear how many times the deadline can be extended 5 days ago:
none of the checks and balances have any balls
Trump took full control of the DHS and the FBI, staffed it with loyal goons, and is actively arresting/assaulting anyone who stands in his way.
This isn’t a matter of “no balls”, its a matter of Biden handing Trump’s biggest supporters a bunch of money and guns back in 2021 and Trump telling these guys “Shoot all the Bidencrats” the moment he took office.
Dafuq is any judge or legislator supposed to do in a country when ICE can kick down your door?
They fucked up thinking they’d never lose power. Now its too late to politics their way out of the mess.

How is he being blackmailed by TWO superpowers?
It’s hardly blackmail. He’s benefited immensely from the right wing turn on TikTok. They’ve got a Sword of Damacles over their heads that can drop any time the site turns against him.
He’s extorting them.
