Why are we asking loaded questions as a first post in a new account?

Lol I wasn’t expecting people to guess. But it’s just little old Mexico.

They’re also unaware of how frigging cute they are. :3

Yeah, I’m not commenting on whether it’s a relative term, but where that line falls. It’s already quite left, and somehow people are still clutching their pearls.

TS being a Mastodon fork is so disgusting.

I feel like when people describe anything as moderate on the fediverse, they’re really taking about the middle ground between centrism and true communism. And somehow that’s still icky for some people’s tastes. Lol

I would never in a million years describe myself as moderate and I find myself agreeing with the great majority of opinions I come across. That’s how the general vibe of the entire instance feels, and it’s still not leftist enough for some folks, somehow.

opposing Western imperialism

I get the sentiment, but this usually boils down to blaming everyone on the Western hemisphere for what the US is doing.

I really wish these attitudes would take into account the other dozen countries like my own that largely keep to themselves.

So yeah, boo!

The modlog can be scrubbed, though. Afaik, if a mod bans someone and removes the user’s content at once, the modlog only logs the ban but all the comments are removed without a trace.

I left the match. There was no pause button. I love you.

It’s definitely a lot less smoke with weed. I have a few friends who smoke, and when we smoke together, we’ll light up a joint that’ll last for a while because we only take three to four hits each, and then we’re set. Or when I smoke alone, a whole ounce will last me an entire month, even if I’m smoking all day, every day. That’s equivalent to two packs of cigarettes (assuming 18 grams/pack) PER MONTH of weed.

The main thing people should be wary of is holding it in for way longer than necessary.

Every. Single. Time.

Same, witch girl, same.

Yes, thank you! I feel like I’ve read someone sticking to only one usage one too many times and pivoting their entire opinion around that one belief, regardless of how it’s actually used.

Funnily enough, I’ve also read another use by older folks who use ellipses to indicate a separation of ideas. I find it strange and antiquated, but it’s valid in its context.

C’mon, man. I already block enough furry shit as it is…

Well, I’m into superhero movies, but not the shitty ones. There have been some gems among the pile of crap.

Where can I find a job like this?

why is every lemming so fucking hostile for no fucking reason

Why is this is all too common?

So many commenters come at you like you owe them money for the stupidest inconsequential shit on Earth.

“Well ackshually…” stfu it was a joke, a subjective observation, someone sharing their experience, a different take. Whatever you want to call it, we don’t need your lemmsplaining when you missed the point, random commenter on a mission.

We have some serious cynics who think everyone else is stupid who deserve the disrespect and it really irks me.

Afaik, some characters do have meanings but are sometimes used for their readings, so their literal meaning is gibberish.

保 — to protect — bǎo

加 — to add — jiā

利 — benefit, profit — lì

亚 — Asia / secondary — yà

I think this is part of why some people end up with weird gibberish tattoos when they translate things literally, because some made up alphabets try to map Western letters to some Chinese characters, but it doesn’t work that way.
