  • Fuck me, this dude loves to hear himself talk.

    This word soup is fucking trash. Let me do everyone here a favor:

    This post is highly verbose, filled with tangential points, and jumps between topics, making it difficult to follow. Here’s a breakdown of what the person seems to be saying:

    1. The Incident: The poster was involved in an online situation where their behavior led to complaints in various forums (e.g., Lemmy, Ask Lemmy).

    2. Their Defense: They shared their perspective on the incident in another forum or blog and were encouraged by someone named Blaze to post it in a specific community (“YPTB”). However, moderators of YPTB rejected their post and directed them to share it elsewhere.

    3. Actions Taken: Following the moderators’ advice, they posted it in another community (“!fediverselore”), which they claim has some precedent for allowing such discussions. Despite this, the moderators from YPTB showed up there to criticize them for not following the original community’s “specific posting guidelines.”

    4. Rules Debate: The poster argues that the supposed “posting guidelines” they were accused of breaking either don’t exist or weren’t clearly stated. They tried to dissect the rules piece by piece to show they didn’t violate any, and even Blaze agreed with them.

    5. “Unspoken Rules”: The moderators, according to the poster, eventually justified their criticism by referring to “unspoken rules” or norms not explicitly stated. This concept frustrates the poster because it undermines their defense and supports what they see as a subjective or inconsistent enforcement of rules.

    6. Broader Grievance: The poster feels ostracized and believes that the community or moderators operate under a “groupthink” mentality, where dissenting views (like theirs) are dismissed or punished. They also criticize the practice of using downvotes or negative feedback as a measure of validity or correctness.

    7. Hypothetical Question: They sarcastically propose a scenario where they could ban everyone in their own spaces for supporting someone named Luigi Mangione, claiming this would be no different from how the moderators are applying their discretion under “unspoken rules.” They are questioning the fairness of such norms.

    8. Final Thoughts: The post ends with an open-ended challenge or provocation, suggesting that the community or moderators’ logic is flawed and asking how they will respond to this critique.

    TL;DR:

    The poster feels unfairly treated due to vague or non-existent rules being used to criticize their actions. They believe the moderators and community enforce norms subjectively, based on group consensus or unspoken rules, rather than clear guidelines. They see this as hypocritical and are challenging the logic behind it. The post is laden with frustration, sarcasm, and an air of intellectual superiority.













  • So I went to go get a vasectomy at age 30. The lady dr tried her damnedest to get me to reconsider. I ended up leaving the office waiting room right before I was to have the procedure. I was very scared because of what the Dr had told me.

    Told me I would have constant testicle pain, etc (not true).

    So I didn’t go through with it. God I wish I had. I don’t have any kids or anything, but at 41 I finally got it done. Mine went as badly as one could go. The infection and inflammation didn’t go away and I was in great pain for weeks before finally they found the right antibiotic. But, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

    Mine went horribly and I’m still out here telling you to get it done. It’s amazing. What does that tell you?

    Don’t believe the scare tactics. It’s bullshit.
