Pshhhh, noone here is going to argue with you. You’re wrong /s

Seriously though, sorry the internet is full of hatefull people. Thank you for what you have shared in the past. Some of us do benefit from hearing other people’s struggles, but just don’t comment as much. Negative engagement usually outweighs positive engagement on all social media platforms.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Ricky Rogatoni, you dispense the sage advice of a fool. As a self-identifying fool I always appreciate your input.

It’s almost like assholes can’t keep their mouths shut when people don’t talk about their needs. If only society created less of those, that’d be nice.

I’m on my phone less, commenting more, avoiding more ads, and much happier with the content/comments on Lemmy. Reddit chains sometimes felt a little brain-rotty.

That’s because gum has less flavor and is unreasonably more expensive, at least in my case.

Exactly. Do what you can when you can. Everyone needs a hand sometimes. Be that for the people around you. Even if you can’t agree on everything.

Lot of good things in here. A couple thoughts. One: Because Lemmy is nice to be on/use. The community generally ‘slaps’ as the generations below me call it. Two: Also white male USA and have also been deeply concerned for the past several years. I chose to focus on community directly around me while acknowledging the crappy situation everywhere due to asshats abusing power/status/wealth. I take solace that the people I choose to spend time around are generally reasonable people and try to help eachother out when we can and always when needed.

I wish I could have that viewpoint. Believe me.

Ty, I’ll probably look into that wiki article, but I like to hear individual thoughts on the matter as well. ❤️

Man. What I would gove to have firearm violence so far away that I don’t know the gun laws in my own country. Ty for the response.

Yeah. There is an abundance of opinions here, but most if not all are very self-centered. It’s all I ever heard.
