Aren’t blocks visible on reddit though? It’s been a while since I used it, so maybe I forgot. At the very least, it was considered bad form there outside of direct harassment. I think I was only stalked and harassed once though reddit comments and I just called them out on it to end it.

And that’s how his handlers want him.

The mods of the sub are the ones to decide who gets blocked though. Not the person you’re auguring with, unless you’re arguing with is a mod.

Bad actors already do that.

I never had a twitter account, but made a bsky account just to support people moving away from there even though I’d them they move to mastodon.

Anyway, I saw a post claiming a certain fetish term was now forbidden because it was being used a slur. I commented that I’ve only ever heard it used to refer to a real person when the person in question was using it to describe themselves. I got some positive responses, but the ended up getting blocked from replying when they disagreed with me. Can 3rd parties see blocks or did it just look like I chickened out?

I didn’t care for that and I think these little “features” of twitter that people have gotten use to has twisted how to interact with other people. On reddit or lemmy, the topic is the main focus and the people managing the topic should be the only ones who control what gets said there. With twitter and bsky, the opening post is the main focus and they get control of what gets said. I prefer the former over that latter.

I will never remember his name. He will always be The Bean Guy to me.

That happened to my mother. Now she wants me to fix that shit and I just tell her I don’t know how to.

I didn’t hate the movie, but it shouldn’t have been the middle part of a trilogy that he didn’t have control over.

The only one I give a shit about is pets, but all the others are good reasons to avoid other human beings.

It gets weird when gossips try telling you about their neighborhood and don’t understand why you’re uninterested.

They look like every other SUV on the market. These things are designed by committee and focus groups.

“Dongles” are wire to wire USB adapters for computers. Sound “cards”, Ethernet adapters, video adapters.

Bring codpieces back!

That too.

Dimpled chads and the Brooks Brothers riots. The Jingoism that followed 9/11 masked the turn things would be taking.

Also, young, inexperienced people are easier to mold into those sycophants they want. At 36, they’re more likely to take a step back and say “wait a minute”.

They’re trying to lean on the world Privileged, but the people they need to convince he’s bad already know every other option is also privileged.

I don’t really attach myself to things with vague meanings anymore. I dropped Dilbert out of boredom long before Scott Adams really went mask off, but it’s a good example of people putting their own meanings to vague media. I’m just explaining why people here might like a comic without knowing it’s origin.

It’s vague enough that people can insert their own meaning into it. Could be Trans issues, could be gymbro stuff, could be manosphere shit.

Fast Food use to be cheap and marketed to kids. The food itself never changed, but now it’s expensive and marketed to adults.
