Shitposting? Nah. A really good shit can get you your very own Mr. Hankey for real friendship, tho!

That’d mean Jesus was at least bi, if not outright gay. Hmm… might just test the waters with him in order to watch MAGAts completely lose their shit…

IMHO, if you want an echo chamber then make a private community. Public spaces should be open to all, and banning used as a last resort - and even then only as a tool to force a “cooling off” period, so temporary bannings only (at least at first). People can just create another login to harass your group anyway, so permanent bans seem stupid & pointless. If someone just won’t stop even after multiple month-long bans, then permaban if you wish, but they’ll be back under another name out of resentment and anger.

Maybe Lemmy could use a “controversial commenter” flag - not sure if should be set by mods or voting history - which people could use to block threads from those types of people if they don’t want to deal with such. This would allow those who want to debate to do so, and those who don’t to choose to be oblivious of such discussion.

This has been an off the cuff response, so not thought out much. I expect to be destroyed for such stupid ideas, but hope they’ll prompt some useful discussion.

You don’t realize it yet, but you have been saavvveeeeddddd by these wonnerful deee-sigh-pulls of Jesus! Can I get an “AMEN,” brothers & sisters?!?

Think you forgot the opening parenthesis on the alternate link, OP.

That these even needed to stated - let alone affirmed by a court - is yet another disgusting sign of just how far (and fast) we’ve fallen as a country. The so-called “party of law & order” are nothing but a collection of bullies and thugs.

Plenty of other sources if you’re one of those not trusting Wikipedia (or want less stuffy explanations).

Here’s a succinct list.

OMG, Grandma! You were hot!!!

…What happened?

Goodwill doesn’t exactly have the best reputation, but sadly Trump’s is far worse. It sucks that people have had to depend upon such scum balls, and now they’re not even going to have that. What a fucked up country we’ve become. Wonder how much more abuse it’ll take before someone actually does “eat the rich.”

Guarantee she’s seen it all if she can even recognize “space wolves” - turn it around and ask her how she knows about them.

Fair enough. It was just an expression of my feelings, not something meant to be at all factually accurate. I’m aware that the ability to even express my true thoughts is a luxury many others are not permitted. I can’t imagine living in such a place.

I’d say I’ll try to be less insensitive to those facts (and to a point I will), but I’m getting older and have basically reached the point in life of just not giving much of a flying fsck what anybody else thinks (since most others also tend to also be hypocritically incorrect about things, but far too often less self-aware about that fact than I try to be). As such, I’m kinda set in my ways, and would just be lying if I claimed I wouldn’t do it again. Sorry if that hurts anybody’s sensibilities, but please understand that I just have reached my limit in trying to be a perfect human in a world dominated by those who most definitely aren’t.

That’s my man, Darren.

Wow, Dude lucked out!

Was there anything about him that was just annoying enough to give you pause - even for just a moment - about marrying him?
