i probably found this on fedi but repost time
@vriska you get in these grooves to wind me up don't you
@vriska most of them are just super hans one-liners tbh
@vriska I can't stand cringe humour so I haven't seen much either
there are some gems though
@vriska the problem with arsenal is they always try to walk it in
@vriska often addiction is caused by an individual being unable to express some aspect of their personality within their society/environment and a healthy expression of those aspects makes such problems drop away
"once and addict, always an addict" implies such an expression of the personality is not possible and keeps the person under the heel; whether a moral failure at risk of relapse (AA) or a helpless victim of their environment (Liberal politicking) the addict just becomes another alienated pawn.
so much for today's study procrastination and mild fedi addiction, I'm sure the two are correlated.

Ahem, an independent organisation lobbying for a public-funded web browser is technically just as much “political interference” as Google lobbying for the opposite. Any government or international structure such as EU is the sum of political interferences, and it’s only a problem when these are not balanced or some stakeholders are not represented.

@sickburnbro @kekservative @1234567890 @graf @p To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand FSE. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical shitposting most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also FSE's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his dank memes- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Sonichu literature, for instance. The fediverse understands this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike FSE truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in FSE's existential catchphrase "Please untag me from this thread," which itself is a cryptic reference to Timor's USENET epic. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as FSE's genius wit unfolds itself on their laptop screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, i DO have an FSE tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate their dicks beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

i really don't get how "the truckers are just poor working class people who were manipulated by evil racists" isn't regarded a fascistoid statement. it essentially says that the truckers (and other protesters) are dumb cattle. either you believe in the agency of every single human or you don't. then we can skip the democracy shenanigans at large. at least be honest.
see, if there are thousands of people are willing to protest something, they usually have weighted the risk. individual people there think the mandates are worse for them than standing there.
there may be dangerous nut-jobs among them, but to extrapolate from individuals to groups is wrong. they aren't demanding some minority to be rounded up (fun fact: that is what the "protesters are literal nazis!11" side is asking for :). they are demanding that questionable mandates are lifted. this is true for every single protest going on in the world right now.
