go away. you are a weirdo if you are reading this.

  • most folks will pay. all my PC gamer friends are just paying $200 per 16GB stick now.

  • they have to give up their bragging rights if they don't upgrade their PCs

  • i mean, this is how it works in practice.

    it's just that the company is on whomevers side that's in power. they donate to both campaigns usually.

  • it's called guilt by assocation. it's shitty and lame type of logical fallacy

    if you live on the same street as a nazi, you must be a nazi. because apparently you have to sell your home and move away if a nazi moves in.

    of course, if you do this and it's a non-white person you are racist... and a bad person, but if you do it for a nazi you're a good person.

    it's not as if the logic of the thing is what at's fault, and the accuser has hyperbolic sense of other people's social obligations to appeal to their sensibility.

  • it doesn't matter what you want, society dictates the rules.

    unless you go off the grid or something. then you can go make your perfect society, because there won't be one.

  • nobody doesn't care about money. anyone who says they don't is a liar and are usually the people who are the most easily bought.

  • yeah but you have at least half a brain.

    most internet users barely have 1/10 of one. and demand other users be banned for not sharing their opinions, but would be outraged if they were banned for their objectionable opinions.

  • Edit: And you know what? I’m just going to fucking say it. There’s too many armchair activists here who won’t let you enjoy a single moment without reminding you that something bad is happening somewhere in the world and that you have some kind of moral obligation to be angry all the time about it. And if you’re not angry all the time then you’re somehow part of the problem.

    Amen.

    I am so sick of being lectured by some weirdo about 'WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING'. It's nothing more than them projecting their pathetic helpless miserable life onto others. 'if you dont' support my pet issue than you are a morally bankrupt person!'

  • a lot of people who came here are the insufferable types from reddit who think it's their 'duty' to harass and shit on anyone who dares hold a different view of the world than they do, or who is more open minded than 'anyone i don't like is a nazi'.

  • i am not using piefed. maybe it's better for admins, but I'm not an admin.

  • that isn't true. anytime i have gone there it's WAY more memey. it looks more like mastrodon/twitter than reddit.

    I am not interesting in meme platforms.

  • piefed is full of memes. i hate it.

    i also am annoyed at having it constantly shrilled at me. i am thinking about blocking it.

  • you're on a different instance

  • yes, i can.

    but it's problematic if I have to do that every day. It's almost a daily part of my use of lemmy.

    I don't want to have to block stuff as a part of my daily use.

    this is actually the reason I don't use tiktok or instagram. because my user experience was block block block, everytime I used it. And it never stopped shoveling the shit I didn't want to see into my face. and a lot of it was pornographic clickbait crap.

    i liked it back when it was smaller, but around 2020/2021 both platforms decided to shove tits in my face non stop. and i wasn't on those platforms for tits. I was on there for my hobbies, but it kept pushing porn on me. so i stopped using it entirely. i still use youtube because youtube isn't constantly shoveling porno shit in my face.

    that's kind of what lemmy feels like. except it's with furryies, linux, etc. even when I block stuff more of it keeps popping up. i want to see more generalist content related to general interests, not content from people who are fetishists.

    i have been on lemmy over two years. my first 1.5 years i hardly ever had to block anything, because shit content i dont' like wasn't flooding my feed. when i first got here it was just a lot of general news/science/information and link aggregation about nerdy stuff, which i really liked and why i liked reddit. i know there was furry porn on reddit from it's inception, but I never had to see any of it unless i went looking for it specifically, like a lot of the fetish stuff on reddit.

  • they call any new deal type thinking 'populism' and lump it in with Trump.

    the 'new deal' rural areas are getting is shitty Data centers fucking up their landscapes and giving them zero jobs.

  • most people don't care about sides. they just care about money.

    and rightfully so. your theory or political stance can't buy you food or a car or other basic necessities.

  • No, they aren't.

    People genuinely believe this stuff. Just like they believe in astrology. It's a form of magical thinking, it's a magical political theory. The core premises being 'liberation'... which just means being a delusional twat who thinks reality horrible and scary and the ideology helps then deny it.

    In other words, it's the equivalent of a child ignore their parents requests res to do chores in the hope the parent/chores will stop asking.

  • all of these anarchist flavors are a form of relativism where all that matters is people's individual feelings.

    it's a form of solipsism when you start asking questions about it.

    and when you draw it out, it inevitable leads to consequences that totally contradict it's tenants. but anarchists... don't do that... they just feel the feelings, man.

    anarchism is great if you never think, but some flavors of it regard thinking as an undue burden foist upon people by a unjust society.... hence why you are getting these absurd answer about how gravity is unjust and cruel. I suppose they also regard having to eat/drink/breathe as injustices that 'society' forces upon us.

  • lemmy is basically NSFW because of this, yes. the amount of furry anime porn that reaches the front page is crazy.

    i don't get why it being pushed, but I suppose it's just the userbase is very active and passionate about that stuff so it rises to the top.
