Don’t feel bad for blocking the worst offenders. Lemmy is small enough for that option to work quite well. Which is the best you can do. Being ignored drives them crazy.
It's called "engagement", sweaty, deal with it
/s
"Sweaty"? I believe you mean "sweety".
Look up "thebootydiaries tumblr sweaty" and give the images that come up a brief scroll. I'm not very creative so I'm just gonna tell you that we can do this all day.
(edit: I've realized you probably already know about this and I'm the one missing the joke but i saw a brief opportunity to contribute and took it so I'm not taking it down.)
Them and the weasels are the worst:
when I saw this I thought "what does this guy have against weasels??" before realising that this wasn't an anti-weasel comment
Oh god saving this 😂
Thanks, I made it to respond to some persnickety dick cheese on here.
I once said that children who steal can be rehabilitated or taught to be productive members of society.
Downvoted to oblivion while everyone else celebrated the death of 3 kids because "all thieves deserve to die".
With statements like this there's almost always some context left out, but even in the best case this feels like cheering on the death penalty
I'm sorry that happened. People should be able to have a real discussion about issues without attacking common sense.
So in that case you would be the contrarian that this post is talking about. It's almost as though critical thinking is good. Reactionaries may be the most vocal and abundant people on some posts, but that doesn't mean they are right or willing to take a good look and discuss the topic at hand
Must have been Kagha
"The world could be a better place"
NO IT COULDN'T!!
you can sense the change in air pressure as several walls of NUH-UH are rapidly approaching your position to explain in excruciating detail why and how the point you made wasn't nearly as reasonable as you believed it had been. or just yell at you a lot >_>;
NUH-UH is lemmys catch phrase.
Anytime Marxism is mentioned on Lemmy.world
Any time you point out the DNC is only slightly less evil than the GOP and that voting or otherwise working inside the system isn't the solution to save America and instead just delays the inevitable
That's a struggle session in the making.
Anytime AES states are mentioned in a way that doesn't align with US foreign policy. (It's a wonderful study of hegemony in action)
No they're not!
I paid for an argument!
😡
What about the exception-makers. They agree…sorta, but always have to carve out a little spot for them to be more right, or you wrong, in an often irrelevant way.
Well, actually, exceptions can be important to lend blanket statements some nuance. Wait, I'm doing it right now, aren't I?
Where's your evidence? Not mine I'll just ghost the reply

Can confirm; am asshole contrarian.
Bullshit. Not a chance you are a contrarian. /J
We share a public space with LLMs now
I have gotten to the point where I have to put things like “in my opinion” or “sometimes/mostly” way too often for the most mundane shit
