Okay I’m dumb.

Is this supposed to mean only trans girls like prostate stimulation?

I’m seeing a theme today, OP. Something on your mind?

Spider ant, spider ant, does whatever a spider ant does

Your concerns are valid since text is hard to interpret due to lack of inflection, context, and other intonation indicators. I try to remember to use tone tags but don’t always.

Thank you for your thoughtful responses and engagement, though. Good faith discussion is an important thing on the web, and is a large part of why I like Lemmy over Reddit and other centralized social media sites. I appreciate you for that and adding to the constructiveness and positivity :) /gen

My apologies, this community is generally memey/jokey in tone, and I was going with that. /gen

I’m also firing off dumb comments at like 2 am where I am, lol. Please do not take my short soundbites (text bites?) seriously.

On a more serious note, one billion dollars is a legitimately unfathomable amount of wealth and, by extension, unilateral power. That’s a dangerous thing for any one person to hold, regardless of how kind their heart is since it means the use of that power is dependent on the whims of one person.

Corporations are also, by their nature, driven by a profit motive. A corporation can do non-evil, customer-friendly things but that can also change very quickly. It’s important to differentiate between beneficial behavior and altruism.

Also, I typically don’t expect people to read my unsolicited soapboxing rants under a green text meme lol.

Also also, I am quite appreciative of the benefits of Valve’s efforts. I just don’t assume they’re purely doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. Nor do I expect/demand them to.

Mmmm billionaire boot must be delicious

Steam is not a bad company but it is still a company that holds a lot of power, don’t forget that.

There’s also never ending laundry.

The Venn diagram between competent and sycophant is two separate circles.

Yeah it’s not the most pleasant pill to swallow but most millionaires are working class or small business, even if they look at their paycheck-to-paycheck peers with contempt and vice versa.

Billionaires are in the stratosphere compared to everyone else’s wealth, and that plus their ability to outright buy governments is our problem.

Eh, I have enough to do towels two-three times a month. I’m okay with that tradeoff.

I don’t care that it’s completely freshly clean; a butt is still a butt and has butt germs and I would rather not think about it. I’m gonna do laundry anyway, it’s easier that way.

I’m going to have to sue you to cover therapy costs. The ifunny watermark is obscene 😭

Abject cruelty and hatred, plus blatant genocide? The people who make a game of killing kids should be subject to their own treatment being turned on them in kind.

“Literally nobody wants”: a list of niche but fairly easily buyable pets lol.

If I could stomach two years of love then heartbreak again I’d get fancy rats. Rodents are clever and sweet when treated properly.

I had a college friend who did that. Their family seemed pretty chill overall from what I could tell ¯\(ツ)/¯

The US government has stake in Intel. Don’t trust them anymore.

I speak zero Russian but would love to know what “western communism” entails in the mind of a Russian person who holds these opinions. Alas.

.ml is the “flagship”/original Lemmy instance, and the “ml” usually means Malaysia but was taken up as shorthand for Marxist-Leninist.

Some folks don’t particularly like the political flavor of those communities and/ or the Lemmy developers who reside there, so they seek other instances and communities to join.

I’d rather spend one hour on my phone before bed than three trying and failing to get my brain to shut up ¯\(ツ)/¯
