Diva (she/her)

i don’t think i’m particularly prudish. i’ll routinely go out to clubs and do demos with like nothing on, but that’s in a setting where it’s expected. i also appreciate not having sex shoehorned into everything i watch or read.

like yeah it’s a facet of existence, but it’s not everything. i’d rather have it be meaningful and intentional instead of everywhere.

on .ml the bans tend do also tend to be temp ones, unless someone’s seriously harassing. so like people will be complaining about the 1984 censorship regime here but then if you look at their modlog more often than not they got a slap on the wrist for insulting people or doing the laziest anticommunism ever put into text. often both.

no, its not

I use browser, never really had a reason to switch

but how many hamburgers is it?!

Don’t trust him at all, absolutely still CIA.

If it’s not being used ironically or self deprecatingly I generally assume the person in question is a fash or some sort of right winger

• same hair
• vegan
• subsist on pink monster
• avoids sunlight
• would eat someone (the rich) if given the opportunity

From what I can tell the only person calling people ‘stupid’ so far is you.

If Epstein was ‘common knowledge,’ why didn’t that common knowledge stop him or his associates? I don’t think the point OP is making is not that all/most conspiracy theories are real, it’s that structural critique that used to be marginalized is becoming mainstream because reality is making it undeniable.

It’s okay if you have a visceral reaction to the term ‘deep state’ but the point is that there are power structures that operate largely independent of democratic control, have repeatedly acted against public interest, and face minimal accountability.

I would point to COINTELPRO, the various CIA coups, mass surveillance, and systematic lying about wars that happens with bipartisan consensus.

good, I love annoying people

I will straight up skip youtube videos that I might otherwise be interested in if it’s an english person speaking.

I just can’t take the accent seriously, plus it’s so grating

Boston accent always has a special place in my heart

I’m not sure what you mean, but krita is open source and I don’t run windows, so no experience with paint NET

Krita

Didn’t take long to get banned for my radical opinion that all forms of Us-vs-Them tribalism are dehumanizing.

it’s always the pro-genocide people acting so injured on when the vile stuff they say gets a negative response

Transitioning helped a lot, I do still feel depressed occasionally, but it’s more passing and related to hormones.

Switching from a career where I was on call nearly all the time for immediate issues for one where I have more flexibility and don’t have to drive as much was a big help.

I still mask and feel really alienated being around people who don’t, but that sentiment was not new to me being vegan and trans and an anarchist. Those orientations don’t always lend themselves to being understood by others who aren’t.

I don’t spend much time online. Organizing with like-minded individuals in real life is way better for my mental health.

I do smoke a lot of weed, but it’s because I enjoy it rather than because I feel bad or am trying to self-medicate.

idk, I’m an adult and I don’t mind it

lemmy.ml has a slur filter

You’re being a little too vague for me to follow, what ‘individual things’ are you referring to getting called worthless incrementalism? You do sound like you have an axe to grind though I’m not sure about what
