I am not sure what you mean.

I am taking a wild assumption of a guess by saying you probably mean where in the parts of lemmy where you can say what you want without criticism?

If so, good luck with that. There’s always going to be people who’ll take offense to what you say, have downvoting parades, bring up post histories and other shit. There is no single social media platform that can handle spicy unpopular opinions, even, without many people taking offense to it.

Women belong in the kitchen and are only good for making babies.

Or that’s what misogynists think.

More like, the internet will have you believe that women who plays video games either is:

A porn model that just uses video games as a guise.

Or

A male hiding under a female guise who plays video games.

I have joined MBin because I still miss KBin.

Not stated in the body of the post which you could’ve clearly have done.

And in order to be forgiven within our online frathouse, we demand that you post several unfunny and recycled memes. We also require it that you join in comment chains to continue a series of unfunny, repetitive jokes that stopped being funny a decade ago. And lastly, we would appreciate it if you never uttered a single word that would displease our hivemind should we report you to our lord and savior, u/Spez.

“And because that my karma points are incredibly higher than yours will ever be, my words are like gold and yours is like dirt. I know exactly what I speak of and know everything of Linux on the back of my hand and in my sleep. Moderator, please displace the trash that has decided to speaketh within our vicinity as I make a fabricated report that you are just a filthy little ban-evader despite having only encountered you for the first time ever”

Hell, Lemmy can be this way too or some other instance somewhere else in the fediverse. It is almost inescapable.

I will and it’ll be better than yours.

What do you mean there are no such things as farmer’s markets?

What do you mean there are no such things as other grocery chains that isn’t Wal-Mart, Kroger .etc?

Now I know there are maybe some small towns with a Dollar General or a Dollar Tree in them, but that is discrediting the fact that there are still alternatives here and there. Don’t pretend they don’t exist.

Besides, why the fuck would anyone want to live in the smack of no where? Haven, Kansas is one of those places, don’t be surprised.

Yes it partially is and I’m so sick of people denying that fact. Nobody ever has put a gun to your head and demanded you go to McDonalds and order a bunch of things from the menu.

You live alone, in your home, with all of this food. Who is the one constantly decided to eat it at their own discretion? YOU! Nobody else! YOU!

Stop detouring accountability and responsibility.

And I know what you’re going to bring up next because I’ve heard it before “BUT BUT THE SUGAR! THE ADDITIVES! THE ADDICTION!” blah blah. Sure, those are a factor but it isn’t like the food themselves have the same kind of chemicals you’d find in things like drugs, cigarettes and alcohol. Those are two huge differences.

But okay whatever, keep blindly blaming the food for how you got 400 pounds one day after the next. Keep believing that half-ass narrative.

This is absolutely nothing new. This just feels like the hundredth lecture.

At one point, I did care but right now, I kind of don’t. Because people are largely going to gravitate themselves to whatever tastes good to them. It is just, they need to stop suing food companies and fast food joints for the reason that they’ve gotten fat when it was their lack of self-discipline and self-control that got them there.

When, they’ve had access to this kind of information for well over 30+ years. No excuses now.

Why do I feel like people bring these posts up so they can feel better about themselves by downvoting anyone who disagrees? Hm…

Gaia Online.

It’s been around since 2003 and it still clings on to its early roots of the internet but with awful modern internet decisions.

Baseball. Try to have a MVP and decorated career, retire, still be involved with the game as a manager, retire from managing, slip into ambassador roles.

Democrats need to do more than “Vote for us because we’re not Trump!” because that has only worked once out of the past 2 very costly attempts.

Democrats need to stop toeing the line.

Democrats need to do a lot more than what we’ve seen them do.

I am sick of anything that sucks up to them. Sports are sucking up to them. Networks are sucking up to them.

You know, people who have hated muslims since 9/11, aren’t being given anymore reasons to let off on that gas pedal. It is just making it worse.

Obviously it is concerning. We have just been given a window of a glimpse as to what would happen if one service in which so many things rely on, gets messed up. Like today I was having trouble logging into my bank because guess what, they rely on CloudFlare.

I’ve read individuals relying on services provided by CloudFlare, their processes were interrupted.

I know that CloudFlare has a purpose and its purpose is being served, but there’s a reason why people love and should embrace the idea of multiple alternatives and hate monopolies.

It would be like, if Comcast as an ISP has a blackout, do you know how many subscribers they have? Some people in certain areas are all that they have so the blackout would knock them offline for however long. That’s why alternatives are important.

I don’t get the appeal, really. It’s just a lego-looking ripoff where the arms are fucking huge and everything. The things that get chosen to be popular, says a lot about people’s collective tastes sometimes.

It was a dumb idea from the beginning, trying to be an electronics pawn shop. Only the trade-ins are just as worthless as the game ones were.

For a large part, yes. It’s just fuel to the fires of pointless arguments.

I’m sure development studios and individuals have a sense of pride and accomplishment in receiving any award for their work. But, even then, there’s going to be volumes of people who’re going to always feel like their favorites were snuffed for reasons not known to us and it just makes more arguments than actual discussions.
