keep in mind that while the cybertruck might seem like a bad vehicle, it also is a bad vehicle

IRL owners are something else to deal with. they get mad when you point and laugh at their rolling dumpster

not saying that, weird that you thought i did

Hey! I be white man. But do you know who’s been organized and has a plan? Marginalized people. They been at this for decades. It’s not about who’s worth talking to, it’s about learning to listen.

log out and talk to your marginalized friends, neighbors, and coworkers. this simply isn’t true and we need your help

you experience lots of small ones everyday

oof. my elementary school teachers were who taught me the things that created the anarchist i am today. i guess i was lucky

it’s like. the core of ethical philosophy is figuring out the best phrasing for it. it’s an incredibly valuable life lesson, hence it being spoken in different framings from different philosophers throughout history. i think our society’s great failing is that we stop putting it everywhere when children leave elementary school. it should be all over middle schools, high schools, places of work, religious centers, community centers, sports stadiums, you name it. we build society. us. we decide what it should be. so why do the propaganda machines of the wealthy allow ourselves in highschool to shift our view of what it means to be human from kind philosopher to camo clad warrior?

my view is it’s because we’re all so entrenched in this hegemony that it doesn’t even occur to us that the lessons of kindergarten are the most important lessons of all, and we should be expanding on those lessons rather than telling kids once they turn 7 that they’ve mastered that and it’s time to spend the rest of their lives thinking only of STEM without any regard to the arts

exactly. i don’t think they’re a bad person to the core, i think they just lack perspective and connection. they won’t find that on an internet forum, only the illusion of it. if i try to explain it here i’m only really contributing to their continued entrenchment in this position.

also. my favorite version of the golden rule is that you should conduct yourself like someone you’d want to be friends with.

my second favorite is immanual kant’s “I ought never to act except in such a way that I could also will that my maxim should become a universal law.”

i straight up blocked moss. they need someone to sit down and talk to them IRL about how to be a human before i’m willing to interact with them online

like a parfait. who doesn’t like a parfait?

mailbox.org and posteo are my recs

Forever.

None of this has anything to do with “aligning a personal identity with an instance.”

well… yes and no. you want an instance whose federation and moderation policy aligns with your personal philosophy on those things (and may require you to run your own). so when people see your username, they see the server you’re on, which communicates to them your philosophies on those things.

i saw a bird once

They list lemmygrad under general purpose lmao

for me it’s the timing. coulda changed this during the off season

Responding to the collective movement of 2020 with endzone prints was a bad look. Removing them is an even worse look. It’s like when google changed their slogan from “Don’t be evil”

Yeah we all knew they were evil before, but when they stopped claiming to not be evil they got worse.

Well. This is that for the NFL. They did almost nothing to help their players and fans, and now they’re doing even less.
