  • Fuck man, I was really hoping to scrounge up enough money to get my second tower up and running before I switched my current one over to linux so that I’d have an easier time transitioning everything without breaking anything too important, but this shit has me heavily rethinking that in favour of just switching over to linux sooner rather than later








  • Give a lot of us a valid alternate choice and we’ll fuckin vote for that, how the fuck does giving the child rapist conman power over the worlds most powerful country empower the proletariat? How does letting Ukraine be invaded empower the proletariat? How does letting China absorb Taiwan empower the proletariat? The US is the least bad choice that we have at the moment (until you fucks let Trump get in and then all sides are pretty equally garbage)







  • On that last point I think part of the issue is positive masculinity needs to be tied with self love/empowerment. The focus on toxic masculinity has overall been negative and easily spun as “men are toxic” (even though the people who’d benefit most from positive masculinity would be men themselves). Men are struggling because its hard to find a way forward that society accepts and supports



  • I hope you’re right with the Tankies, and yeah, I’m not really going to let anyone take an identity/descriptor from me with my own autism, even if the people attempting to do so are also on the spectrum. I never noticed the ratio difference of Americans to Non Americans, although I guess as a Canadian I’m not sure where I fall on that ratio xD

    I dunno if I have much further to add in this conversation, I mostly just wanted to respond to show I’ve read and appreciated your own input!


  • On the autist point, is a bit of a side tangent, but I hate that they’ve decided I cant fucking use my childhood diagnosis anymore because the guy who termed it was a Nazi, even though before this decision the name Asperger NEVER made me think of the Nazi, and only made me think of Autism. The DSM retired that diagnosis retired that diagnosis anyways in favour of making Autism a spectrum, so even if the asshats don’t shit on me for continuing to use a term that was a useful descriptor for me since childhood, its still going to fade over time.

    I wouldnt be surprised if conversations on reddit have gotten better if half the people who irritated me on Lemmy used to be redditors since the modpocalypse. I’m still having trouble feeling like I’m rewarding spez for his actions if I end up back in reddit though.

    And finally on the conservative point, at least Conservatives are honest about hating gay people and minorities. The Tankies here screetch the loudest about slurs and protecting minorities and lgbtq people, but they support regimes that dont blink twice while crushing those same populations
