Vintage meme indeed.

This dude always looked like a college aged Gregory House to me.

I like gorgeous guys more than penises, generally. I go by Bowiesexual.

The true halcyon days were before the Digg migration. Sorry, I know most folks on the site and very likely here too were part of that diaspora but it’s fair to say that Reddit was very different and yes: better before that.

:)

Hey, 20 bucks is 20 bucks.

Reddit is a dogshow but Lenny has issues too.

Maybe it’s my instance or some other config but when I open lennmy it’s just wall to wall communist/anti capitalist, open source wanking and musk hate.

Look, people, musk is a cunt, capitalism is ruining not only the planet but yes also the hearts and minds of people and proprietary software probably should be a little less pervasive than what it is but can we, just for one fucking nano second discuss literally anythingbg else?

In my experience (and again perhaps just with whatever I’ve been able to set up) lemmy is tiresome, parochial and very much a one-dimensional experience.

Can any of us remember when Reddit was actually fun? A little of the silliness that made it endearing? Dumb stories about Kevin, incessant nonsense about bacon, when AMA was a fucking legendary little nook of the internet? Surely some of those are the things this community would want to foster, a little light heartedness? Look at the popularity of the Trekkie stuff, nothing to learn there?

It’s cool though, I don’t have to come here and this has all helped me realise that. I’m literally only on here typing this because I’m taking a dump rn.

It’s so interesting. I imagine your experience is something like Venoms relationship with Eddie Brock which cracks me up!

Yes. Like many here it is my vocation.

I’ll chuck in my answer since I’ve been asked this before too.

I don’t “see” a stapler. I perceive a future state where the pages are stapled. This does appear visually in my mind but not a a a picture of stapled pages rather a set of symbols that incorporate the task “to staple” into the other things that I am concerned with at the point of thinking about that task.

“Set of symbols?” Is probably your follow up question - yes, geometry or iconography that describe the path from here to that future state where that pages are stapled.

That’s the best I can do. None of this is literally narrated in my mind, however typing this out to you each sentence is “auditioned” as I imagine I am speaking it to you.

The halcyon days lasted about month. After that each post sounded more and more like that 14 year old atheist reading the bible meme.

I am a complete idiot and I would also like to know.

Aaw shaaaame. Now you’re the victim after attacking someone else and calling them “psychotic”.

Lol.

You refuse to address their points deferring rather to a strategy of misdirecting using the name of the community. Any meat on your “psychotic rant” assertion? Nope. “This is a piracy board” …so you can dismiss thoughtful commentary on the topic that OOP has raised out of hand with nothing more than baseless accusations?

You want to hide behind etiquette and staying on topic but your posts in this thread are the most worthless meta commentary in the thread.

You’re part of the problem.

You want change without changing yourself.

It isn’t going to work and it will make you bitter and angry.

Like this post of yours right here.

feminism let me be whatever

Amazing, true progress. This is how society should be.

Did you ever stop to ask yourself if it’s done the same for men? Or are large parts of the male population still subject to macho stereotypes?

Yes!! Hear hear! That’s what I’m trying to say. Inclusivity is inclusive, you share the problems too.

I love this:

Men and women need to build a new ideal man.

Just beautifully put.

Hey if you have the time to spare, could you perhaps throw up some criticism of my OP? What am I saying wrong that people are misunderstanding me here?

I’d love to be able to express these ideas in a way that does not make people angry. I think they are important ideas to share.

I’m not sure how you missed that this is precisely the point I’m making?

Sorry if my post was not clear enough but yes I totally agree, your post is I guess a less confusing way of saying what intended to convey.

Yikes! Fixed it. Thank you!

Well, are boys and young men exposed to feminist role models or are they not? I say no, not to any meaningful degree, and they should be.

Hear hear.

One love.
