It’s true that protesting by absenting yourself from the corrupt mainstream kinds turns what could be a fuck-you counterculture moment into a fuck-you-im-leaving subculture…

It’s just so gross out there lol. If anyone can stomach it while also not being co-opted though that’s cool and I support it.

I do think protests have their place though, but it’s like a cookout at the park type thing almost. You meet irl, you network, you vibe check; then you go on to do your other actions.

If some people just want to show up to vibe out and maybe put some radical slaps up that’s cool too. Probably good to have more normal types in attendance to be a shield for more radical elements.

I definitely feel more motivated to participate here, because of the emphasis on human to human interactions

Ugh yeah that’s like half the people I know irl. I don’t get it

Yes, and

their ultimate goal is to make people use the APP monetise every single interaction

I plan on going to smaller fediverse graphs if it ever gets too mainstream around here.

The moment I see a fuckin brand I am out. Joining whatever network has a zero tolerance policy for that corporate fuckery.

Problem here is it relies on people using redit after having found lemmy. I know some people do, but I can only imagine it’s a one-way valve for most.

Wouldn’t have been my first choice but this is cooking

And yet I try to get one little grenade into Jeff Bezos’ wedding…

I applied for Page like 3 times at my local library, but my resume reads as disillusioned tech bro so I don’t think I have much of a chance. t_t

My tastes are different therefore you’re wrong

Maybe if they were like chocolate covered raisins. I like chocolate, but it’s no raisins

It’s got the sweet, it’s got the chew. What’s not to love

When you bite into a fly cookie and it’s mouse turds

Whimsy detected!! Deviant thoughtpatterns likely!! Danger!! Danger!! Crush it quickly!

Back when boys were boys and girls were dizzy

Some people need to be kept away from others for their safety yeah, but a high security medical facility is a better place for them.

Yeah like not working out or anything. I can sit around eating all day too, but my muscles just wither away.

Presumably their bosses have access to this info… Like…

It’s been known for 50+ years that incarcerating a person is the most criminogenic you could do to them. It increases crime. It solves none of the problems it uses to nominally justify its existence

But yeah even if it cost double to house them rather than imprison them it would still be the right and rational thing to do
