All I meant is I’m not picky about the kind… I won’t drink bottom shelf stuff for exactly that reason tho - not a booze/wine/beer snob, more to do with remembering what cheap shit vodka/tequila did to me back when I didn’t know any better in college. And obviously fuck Bud Light and anything else from Anheuser Busch. But I’m more into porters and stouts when I do beer anyway.
But I’m honestly not a huge drinker these days but I do occasionally. When I drink, a buzz is enough to relax for me.
Would I? Probably not if that was the only thing they had in their favor. I can think of a few extremely unlikely exceptions that might be decent starting points for D Grade movie plots but, realistically, not unless it was someone I would want to be with without the money.
Usually whichever sounds like the answer could be long (in case there’s validation)… Then I generate a 2nd random password for it and store it in my password manager.
It’s like this, men are dogs, at least i was, then i got older and now I just want a really nice person versus a bad bitch or great tits and fat ass. Although, if those things come with a personality, that is good, I will be more than happy to oblige lol.
Same. I actually kinda hate some of the stupid shit I did and thought when I was a young horndog.
There are still things I can be shallow about but these days I’d much rather be with someone I got on great with that was genuine and caring than some high maintenance sexbomb that will bail on you or betray you when things stop being convenient.
Damn, that was a great first post man. And welcome.
Can’t speak for everyone but I’m glad to have more types of people here who don’t give into the pedoarchy and actual bigotry of the modern left and think most folks I’ve talked to here would agree.
Is this really all there is to the fediverse for someone who doesn’t abide by Reddited, tankie groupthink? Are there more popular instances that give a shit about freedom? Ffs where is all the based?
Agree with this part a lot too. You might be interested to check out some of the nostr posts around the instance. Quick version is that nostr is a new protocol that is more decentralized than lemmy in that it is built so that users can block each other but that admins can’t deplatform and prevent users from seeing other users/etc. Probably not the best description… Anyway it’s new and not really ready yet but a lot of folks here are looking at it as a potential solution to the problem you described and site admins have expressed interest in eventually moving to it.
Why, thank you! This comment means more to me than you know.
I was beginning to miss the feeling of satisfaction from all the downvotes and snowflake tears that I used to get from leftists; knowing who they were coming from, they were their own sort of praise.
Comments like this, I think, feel even better than the downvotes I used to get. Really appreciate it, man!
there is no space where right wingers have “civilized dicussions”
You mean bc the left get their panties in a wad when we - even in polite, pg-13 tones - don’t go along with the left’s narratives and hivemind mentality so they block us on other platforms? Not our fault that you lot are so thin skinned.
You guys seem to communicate via facebook tier memes at this point.
As I was saying before: THIS IS A MEME SUB. I don’t know that I can simplify it anymore than that for you mate…
The only possible place to have any contact with right wingers are “free-speech” meme communities
Again, not by our design. But even then, as I mentioned earlier, there are in fact other communities on this instance. They have mostly all the same folks that are in here posting memes.
My point was that a lot of the time, people post memes to chill and relax. And they go to discussion subs to have discussions. Is anyone telling you that you can’t exercise your free speech by making discussion comments in the meme section? No. I was just pointing out that you probably aren’t going to get great feedback here, bc a) discussion is not the focus of this sub (memes are) and b) your complaint is essentially against others exercising their free speech, on an instance and sub where that is explicitly allowed…
They are the only communities with any numbers right now, the rest is virtually dead…
DMT is more anything goes (read: MUCH better for discussion, tho complaining about folks using free speech still isn’t likely to get great results; my guess is most just ignore you, block you, or tell you to piss off but you’re free to try)
“Free speech” kinda implies that memes with different opinions and views are posted. Instead, the opposite is the case, it’s virtually only one viewpoint that is presented.
Umm…no, it does not. I think you may be confused on what free speech means. It means only that you are free to say whatever you want, unless otherwise specifically prohibited by law (e.g. yelling “fire” in a movie theater as a prank would not be protected).
There is NO stipulation whatsoever about WHAT someone will speak on, only what they CAN speak on.
And community rules are set by the community creators and can be more or less inclusive than those of the site as a whole. e.g. site as a whole does not allow some particular language in ALL communities but site owner has given ok on specific communities to have language that is not generally acceptable on the site. Likewise, any given community is free to decide that they want. Be that 100% free speech from all sides, only free speech that is prohibited elsewhere on the web, or whatever else.
So if a community mod wanted to make standards that where basically like reddit but for right-wingers, then they could do so.
obsessed with the trans community to an absurd degree…
See what you like. Personally, I would say “extremely frustrated with” fits better than “obsessed with” but whatever you like.
Right, the way I see it, you guys have exactly two topics, or one topic depending on how you look at it. It’s “the gays/homos/trans” and “the left”. In practice, those two are often treated as the same thing.
Even assuming that you aren’t wrong and being overly reductive based on your own biases… Let me ask this: So what? In practice, it’s a conservative instance. Did you expect something different? A lot of us already have accounts elsewhere where we post the normal fare. This sub is for all the stuff we can’t post anywhere else.
If you’re looking for “safe” memes, there’s a funmemes community here on this instance that is strictly for non-offensive stuff but really you can get that anywhere. If you want discussion, there’s DMT if you have thick enough skin, and several other communities if you don’t.
But DankMemes on EH is one of the few places you can get conservative memes on the web without getting a bunch of jew-hating / black-hating propaganda. Yeah, we’re probably not much better towards trannies, tankies, and wokees than any other conservative place. And you probably won’t believe me or care about the difference but if you spend time at the other places, we’re actually pretty damn tame in comparison.
Right, but the thing is nobody will ever believe you when you are called “ihatetroons”, write about how much you hate “troons”, post memes about how “troons” are pedos, etc.
ok. Thing is though, I don’t really care. In fact, besides testing the waters here, my main goal with the s/n was to create something that the most disagreeable, sjw/activist cunts would probably block on sight so that I wouldn’t need to bother with them.
I might decide to change it later if that’s still allowed. Might not. Now that I’ve been here a little while, I think they are pretty chill about s/n’s and I don’t think we have much of the folks I was worried about here. If we did, I can only think that every defed reduces that number significantly.
Right, that’s how it works, you just go to the trans factory and say “one body mutilating transition please”…
They can dress it up with pretty words. But if you paint a turd gold, it’s still a turd and you have nothing to show for it but shit on your hands.
No way, tech online forums are filled with weird nerds who like strange stuff? Who would have thought…
Wasn’t a stab at them liking weird stuff. They can like whatever the fuck the want as long as it isn’t hurting anyone. The point in bringing it up was that they were posting off-topic shit repeatedly and frequently and whenever people would speak up about it, bc it just happened to be an agenda speaking point for the left, all rational discussion about alternatives was immediately shut down and any making the suggestions either accused of bigotry etc or banned.
If furries or trannyfags want to create a sister sub or limit themselves to a weekly thread or something then whatever. But posting it repeatedly, then having the mods sit back and not only take their side but outright silence the opposition, is subversive in the extreme.
Being critical or questioning things doesn’t make one a hater. But again, you are literally called “ihatetroons”, so I seriously don’t understand why you want to act suprised when people actually take what you say half-way seriously…
Funny, bc all the stuff I was talking about was from BEFORE I decided to adopt that little moniker. And in a very real way, you could say that I wouldn’t have bothered with it but for past grievances.
Don’t you think this whole game about “I don’t really dislike trans people, well just a little bit, but I actually hate the politics” is a bit silly?
To you maybe. I do hate the politics behind it. I think of eunuchs and feel not a shred of anger, hatred, or malicious intentions. I might think much of the idea, and I may think even less of tacking on a bonus hole.
I get that you probably would love it if you could somehow get me to see that I’m a bigot and change my ways. And I’ll give you props for at least being much more civil and pleasant to talk to than many of your comrades… but I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you.
you are actively trying to signal to everyone that you hate trans people, so you shouldn’t be suprised when people think you actually do…
That’s fine. Like I said, it was a very calculated and intentional move to throw off the rabid dogs trans “rights” warriors and any trans that could be called goons (troons). Was never about me bashing individuals. If it eases your conscience to chalk me up as a trans hater, go right ahead. I really don’t care even a little bit.
But the fact remains that leftists drove me to it and that I don’t intend on changing.
I think their referring more to making small sites. I’ve sort of pidgeon holed myself into working with certain corporate bits and pieces but not really throwing together a full site by myself. And I generally work with backend java stuff instead of ui’s (haven’t played with ui’s in literally years).
Been thinking about taking some time off and trying to retrain to see if I can switch roles in the industry. If that doesn’t work, might even look into how hard it would be to switch careers (bioinformatics maybe).
When I first got in, I liked it but too many years in corporate America has killed a lot of the love I used to feel for coding… Or maybe it’s just that I hate working for big corps. Maybe some time at a small company again would help…
Hmm… I have a sweet tooth and zero shame gobbling down whatever dessert regardless of how it looks for my masculinity… There was a particularly girly looking strawberry shortcake I ate recently and probably looked like a complete homo. Was damn good though.
_Sir_, I take great offense at being called trainsfobic. My preferred term is trainsmisic bc fobia’s iz fear and misia’s iz hate. Ty and have a wonderful day.
Guessing they probably don’t have to take as much bullshit propaganda “courses” from HR either… Really hate that even at companies where I don’t have any tranny coworkers that I still have to take some bullshit pronoun course.

Sure, if I over do it.

You don’t drink anymore?
