Been online myself since 1993. Literally from the advent of the World Wide Web. I've seen it all. And I'm hella fucked up.

I have been going through Japanese lessons for 258 days (counting today). My goal is at least a full year. Got less than 100 days to go!

I can just about do what I set out to accomplish: Understand anime without subtitles. 😎

Even if you could search by a term used in the comment/post and not just by user, action taken, or the mod making the action, do you know how little that would narrow it down?

Who was the user?

And no; I don't think trans people are overly sensitive. Just this specific instance on Lemmy.

Do you really think a single instance of someone using the term in an offensive way demands banning of the term entirely?

I agree it shouldn't be used as a slur; but if there's only been one example of it used that way, this is a massive fucking overreaction to it and that's what I am butting my head against with this instance. The community's overreaction to the smallest of perceived slights.

I used to enjoy the Internet to the fullest, but now I have nightmares brought on by seeing the worst humanity has on tap from sites like Rotten and Ogrish.

Doing what I can still basically feels like doing nothing anyway. Like when you finish a mission in Helldivers and it shows how much your team contributed to the total effort.

The tare machine: "You have used a reusable bag for a decade and recycled every recyclable object you bought after using it until it was unuable. You have decreased the effect of climate change by 0.00000000125%."

Me: Yay! I'm helping! 🥹

Schrodinger's dumbass over here.

Tries a thing, thing fails/is ridiculed, "ha ha! Thing wasn't actually this, but that instead!"

They got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall Street, where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected. I went down to get my physical examination one day, and I walked in, I sat down, got good and drunk the night before, so I looked and felt my best when I went in that morning. 'Cause I wanted to look like the all-American kid from New York City, man I wanted, I wanted to feel like the all-, I wanted to be the all American kid from New York, and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up, and all kinds o' mean nasty ugly things. And I waked in and sat down and they gave me a piece of paper, said, "Kid, see the phsychiatrist, room 604." And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill, KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL, " and he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy."

1984 Dune Baron Harkonnen vibes.

A literal bathtub full of literal feces would actually be more attractive.

I gotta be honest with you ... that looks like straight up shit from a butt.

Hey you know what... Maybe there always being an SCP of everything is, itself, an SCP... 🤔

They used a shitty upscaler and got shitty results. Color me not surprised.

No wonder it's balanced like shit.
