Looks like overanalysis to me. Not sure the massive metaphor was necessary to attack ‘them centrists’.

That being said - the notion that centrism is a compromise is only something I’ve seen from people who are not partaking in said centrism. Not that I give a shit or anything.

Two badgers in my asshole says leadership is a quality we’ve lost. I just wanted to say two badgers in my asshole and don’t know where I was going with this.

The funny thing is that I asked this question before, and was also downvoted then too because people think this isn’t something that could ever happen to them and I must be stupid. Trust me folks, give it four more years and a ban or two and you’ll be tearing your hair out just the same and cursing the platform.

I’m taking the other comment about not arguing with stupid people.

That is what it’s all about?

There is basically no faster way to advertise

1. That you get no pussy
2. You’ve never been outside around a wild bear before
3. You don’t know how statistics work

Unsurprisingly this is a bigly amount of people on any online platform, it turns out.

Just… exponentially more on Lemmy since a large portion of it is Linux related.

Gross

Nope, there’s nothing controversial about it. If you’re in a wooded area with a bear and a man you’re more likely to be harmed by a man. Doesn’t matter how you view the question, just matters how much of a basement dweller you are.

Edit: By nothing controversial - no mainstream news or popular opinion pieces or the general public at large don’t understand it. There is no controversy. Be insular on the internet all you want, I’m not attacking your opinions. But controversial is not this.

There is literally nothing better about the clientele of this platform than reddit except people are nicer and probably less miserable on average in the comments. If anything its users are less socialized and more insular - e.g. I use linux server extensively for work where it controls most of the internet, but most of the hot takes here about linux here are beyond stupid. If anything, between Lemmy and reddit, the users here are even more convinced they’re knowledgeable and infallible connoisseurs, if that’s even possible. So when fallout does happen, it’s generally more ugly.

Also, the bear thing is not controversial - except with infantile man-children. Those people don’t get to represent a demographic.

Just an FYI in case you don’t follow Cloud news but Google has deleted customers accounts on multiple occasions and has been for literal years. This time they just did it to someone large enough to make the news. I work in SRE and no longer recommend GCP to anyone.

When you say those words do you imagine normal people reading this and not laughing

The deeper I get into this platform the more I realize the guise of being ‘progressive, left, privacy-conscious, tech inclined’ is literally the opposite.

??? So why don’t we get better at making energy than get scared about using a renewable resource. Fuck it let’s just go back to the printing press.

Amazing to me how stuff like this gets upvoted on a supposedly progressive platform.

Now this is something I can get behind. But I was talking about the decision to retaliate in the first place.

Why?? Please make this make sense. Having AI to help with coding is ideal and the greatest immediate use case probably. The web is an open resource. Why die on this stupid hill instead of advocating for a privacy argument that actually matters?

Edit: Okay got it. Hinder significant human progress because a company I don’t like might make some more money from something I said in public, which has been a thing literally forever. You guys really lack a lot of life skills about how the world really works huh?

You guys need to fix opening YT music playlists. There’s no shuffle button or anything.

I made this massive playlist which you should DEFINITELY not listen to if you’re easily offended.
