Dharma Curious (he/him)

Absolutely. But now, imagine if you moved somewhere because of Lemmy. God, the shock!

It amazes me how long “porque no los dos” has been a meme and people still have a hard time understanding two things can be true at the same time.

Does China do some shit well, maybe even better? Duh. Does that excuse authoritarianism? Of fucking course not.

Same shit with the ussr back in the day. Just because America is an imperialistic shit hole of worker’s rights and healthcare doesn’t mean you trade a frying pan for a fire.

But this also doesn’t mean we start blaming citizenry for their governments, or making racist attacks. It also doesn’t mean that leftist thought is de facto evil. It just means authoritarianism sucks unwashed pig nuts.

But also, enjoying red note. Fucking amazing senses of humor over there.

When I was about 14 I had a friend whose mom caught him masturbating. She duct taped oven mitts to his hands every night before bed for a week until Sunday, when she took him to their priest. The priest told her, basically, she was crazy. Masturbation is a sin, yada yada Catholic line, but that she could not duct tape her child’s hands at night, and because it was a counseling session and not a confessional, he would be required to report her if it continued.

Dude was so fucking messed up, though. Kept up with him on Facebook for a while after j moved, and he ended up doing a lot of SI and then in his mid twenties went full goth and got a shit ton of piercings and tattoos to cover the scars.

On top of that, so many places no longer have websites, they have Facebook pages. Wanna see the menu to your favorite restaurant? Fucking Facebook. Want to know the hours of operation of that computer repair place? Fucking Facebook. Want to know if the shop you’re going to carries your brand of something? Believe it or not, fucking Facebook. It’s so integrated into our culture at this point. No private entity should ever have been allowed to amass that much power.

I know, but these are federal judges stating that the ban cannot go through because it violates federal law, is it not? Or am I misunderstanding and they are federal judges saying that TNs law violates TN own state constitution?

Yay! I can whack it again! I mean, I was gonna whack it either way, but now protonvpn isn’t slowing my whacking it quite as much. Ain’t got time for no forced digital edging while I wait on the buffering just so I can bust it at the exact right place in the video

I’ve never understood that shit. State a bans something, states b, c, d, and e also ban it. Federal judge comes in and says “state c cannot ban that. It’s unconstitutional,” how and why does that not apply to the others as well? It makes no fucking sense. Our country is fucking weird
