words cannot express how badly i want to tear that godforsaken teddy bear limb from limb
not true. pump soap dispensers actually have a legitimate use
i wouldn't even call that a ytp. that's just an ancient meme edit of a song with eggman slapped on top of it.
this is a ytp. note the difference in quality, and the fact that it uses the same visuals the original video has.
help it's been 6 years since my high school chinese class
yeah but skeletons aren't usually animate. the only way for a skeleton to be able to move without a meat suit attached to it is if it's powered by magic. and who knows what the magic can make it do
own a framework, can't relate
i'm not even sure that this is a case of transphobia. if i had to take a guess i'd assume that this insult to feminists everywhere saw the word "nudes" and immediately assumed
- OP was a woman, who
- was sending naked pictures of herself to a man, who
- did not know her in person and had coerced her into doing so
i'd bet money that the "feminist" described here is the sort of person who views all sex workers as victims of the patriarchy and refuses to believe them -- or, better yet, tells them they're confused -- if they say they actually enjoy doing it
Yeah I really got that impression from your comment framing Trump's stances on various wars as reasonable compared to Harris's
We're on the internet, bro. You have a search engine right fucking there. I didn't know what vatnik meant either until I googled it 20 seconds ago. What is your excuse?
and I’m not actually sure if he even means what he says.
don't you think it says something that this is the only excuse people who defend trump can come up with anymore

Thesis writing
I've been seeing a worrying number of these people on Lemmy lately, sharing enlightened takes including but not limited to "voting for Biden is tantamount to fascism" and "the concept of an assigned gender, or even an assigned name, at birth is transphobic" and none of them seem to be interested in reading more than the first sentence of any of my comments before writing a reply.
More often than not they reply with a concern I addressed in the comment they're replying to, without any explanation of why my argument was invalid. Some of them cannot even state their own position, instead simply repeatedly calling mine oppressive in some way.
It occurred to me just now that these interactions reminded me of nothing so much as an evangelical Christian I got into an argument with on Matrix a while ago, in which I met him 95% of the way, conceded that God might well be real and that being trans was sinful and tried to convince him not to tell that to every trans person he passed, and failed. I am 100% convinced he was trolling -- in retrospect I'm pretty sure I could've built a municipal transport system by letting people ride on top of his goalposts (that's what I get for picking a fight with a Christian at 2AM) -- and the only reason I'm not convinced these leftists on Lemmy are trolls is the sheer fucking number of them.
I made this post and what felt like half the responses fell into this category. Am I going insane?
c/dragonsthatwonthavejobsforlong lmao
I don't like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in November. Even if you did, and even if you convinced two thirds of the people who would otherwise have voted for Biden to vote for your chosen candidate instead, Trump would still win because half the country voted for him and your guy only got a third. If you vote third party you might as well stay home.
Not voting isn't going to stop the genocide in Gaza. The US will continue to funnel them arms no matter which candidate wins this November. Trump practically campaigns on how much he hates the Jews and he's publicly told Israel to "finish up their war". He'll also make life a living hell for anyone who isn't a straight cisgender male back here at home.
A vote for a candidate is not an endorsement of them or their policies, it's a statement that you like their policies more than the other guy's, and "sticking it to liberals" and "refusing to support genocide" (that's not what voting for Biden is doing, by the way -- a vote for either candidate is a vote for genocide and a vote for neither is an endorsement of both) is not more important than keeping the furthest right politician America has ever seen out of office.
How incredibly privileged do you have to be to see an entire national election as what will happen in the Middle East and ignore Trump's campaign promises to wipe transgender Americans off the map, and further, to not realize that the same thing will happen in the Middle East regardless of which candidate wins?
I hate Biden as much as every other leftist here. But I'll still vote for him because Trump is worse. If there's a single bone in your body that cares about the lives of your trans friends you will too.
