Less upset. More perplexed. You took the time to type out a well thought out and intelligent comment. I agreed with your comment, but you then aggressively shit on mine. Like, to say something on the internet and have people agree without a caveat is rare. To then shit on them is even rarer.

My guess is that English is not your first language. You have used certain words in our back and forth in a way that no native speaker would use. Which I’m not saying as a negative. Simply pointing out that, as a reason you misinterpreted what I said.

Either way. I hope you have a good day, and just for what it’s worth. It’s rare that you’ll hear the words “you’re right”. It’s best to graciously accept those wins. Because they won’t come often.

I’m just curious. Why shit on someone that was agreeing with you?

You are literally not making any sense. I agreed with your statement. Then I gave a personal account of why I agreed with your statement.

There is no combat. Because for there to be combat. There would have to be a disagreement. There was no disagreement.

Are you ESL?

It’s like if someone said that a lake “didn’t have big fish in it.”

Then you say “the lake does have big fish”

Then I come along and say “the lake does have big fish. I know because I’ve caught one.”

It’s the exact same thing.

What? I was agreeing with you. Then I gave personal experience examples to show why I agree with you.

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick this is spot on,and here’s why. My youngest is autistic. Like, he’s on SSI he’s so autistic. The government pays us a lot of money and covers his healthcare because otherwise they’d have to pay someone else more.

But every time I post something about him being autistic. Inevitably, someone comments about how “it’ll get better. Because they are autistic and it’s barely a hindrance to them. They are now just shy around people”.

These people act like autism isn’t a spectrum, and some people aren’t way worse than others. Once I explained that my child’s doctor even said that “He would probably never be able to live on his own”. These people told me to get him another doctor.

He already goes to the most sought after behavioral specialist in my city. A city that is built around a world class hospital, and connected college. Anyone that does that can go fuck themselves with a burning log of dog shit.

People that say “I’m autistic”. I automatically assume you are self diagnosed. Maybe start with. “I was diagnosed with autism”.

I have been spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit. The only reason I haven’t fully broken away from Reddit yet is that old habits die hard. I’ve spent hours every day on Reddit for the past like 10 years.

But the atmosphere there has changed. The other day I made a post. A guy commented on the post, and said something completely wrong. When I pointed out that either he didn’t read the post, or he had a reading comprehension deficiency. That’s exactly how I put it. The mod said I had to keep discussions civil. When I told the mod there was nothing uncivil about pointing out someone’s obvious deficiency. He banned me from the sub.

In my almost 10 years. That’s the first time I’ve been banned from a sub.

I don’t usually talk shit to people. Really what I like to do is find people with problems, or questions. Then use my old people experience to tell them how I fucked it up. In the hopes that the person can not repeat my mistakes.

First it was r/spacedicks

Then it was r/watchpeopledie

Now it’s just being “uncivil” whatever that means.

I think that what they were going for here. Is how people say I’m a Christian, but in the same breath talk about how they hate the homeless, or minorities, or homosexuals, or all of the above.

However, the Jesus of the Bible tells them not to do that. He said to love everyone, and help those in need. Ya know? Stuff like that.

It’s like if I started a charity called “feed the whales”. So, people decided that sounded like a worthwhile cause, and donated a bunch of money. But after a couple of years in operation someone checked my books and discovered I’d only spent 10% of the money feeding the whales, and the other 90% killing the whales.

People would be outraged, and rightfully so. They come to me and say hey look at all this whale killing you did, and I responded with yeah but look at all those whales I fed.

It’s the same thing. Christianity at its heart is a book of stories. At the core though the teachings of Jesus are that we should love each other and care for each other. Yet, when you bring up all the child molesting, and the racism, and other shenanigans. The churches are quick to be like those are all one offs. Besides look at the money we donated to help the homeless and fight abortions. We can’t be racist. We donated money to help inner city kids.

In the end whether it’s people or a business or a church. You are what you do. Not what you say you do, or what your name would suggest. You are what you do.

You know. Some of my fondest memories as a child were on days when my dad would let me stay home from school and we’d go fishing. I loved the outdoors, but I was too young to truly understand why if you carry it in you carry it out. I was too young to appreciate the time he and my grandparents took to teach me edible native plants.

Then I became a teenager and even an adult, and I was too busy. I didn’t go outside like I should have. I didn’t care.

Now I’m old, and I’m starting to do those things I loved as a kid. I’m starting to hunt and fish again. But even in my short time on earth the changes I’ve noticed are crazy. Especially in regards to insects that I don’t see anymore.

I know man. Hehehe Honestly, I just wanted to see what would happen if I started answering the questions in the titles of these posts. Lol

Look guys. I don’t know where you heard this blasphemy. But, my boyfriend and I would never.

I mean you asked. I just wanted to humor you. Was I high or low?

I came here because Reddit is changing, and I don’t like it. I’m generally helpful. But if someone is being an idiot, or a bigot. I want to point and laugh at them if I so choose.

For a while the content on Reddit has been lacking, and people (myself included) are having to watch what they say. I wanted to find a place where I can generally be helpful and share my “old person knowledge”, but if someone’s being an a not great human being. I don’t have to be afraid to tell them so.

The biggest problem that I see with Lemmy is the sign up process. If someone were to ask me to explain to them how to sign up. I’m not sure I could. Like I googled “how to create Lemmy account”. I found a Reddit post that offered a list of Lemmy instances. The first like 3 I tried didn’t work.

When I finally found one that let me create a login. The rest was pretty easy. Honestly, since getting here I enjoy Lemmy more than Reddit these days. I don’t quite have my news dialed in like I want yet, but I’ll get there.

Anyway, that’s my two cents as a new user.

I like what I call “sturdy” or “hearty” women.

This! But also, trans women have taught me that dicks aren’t a deal breaker. Sure, it might not be my first choice, but if she’s hot. Well, you know the old saying.

If a bear’s hungry. He’ll eat.

I mean, you are definitely right, but I think people that know that get the joke.

I have a plan that I want to do, but I need help. I want someone to draw me a furry version of the scene I just described. Then I start posting biblical / Quran fan fiction on Reddit right? Then I post some Abrahamic romance, and the pic or pictures right?

Like it could be nothing, but it could really blow up and upset some people. Just imagine it. Muhammad as a furry. Never mind a picture of the prophet. He’s a god damned furry. Making love to a white Jesus furry.

36?

For what it’s worth. I have a similar username on a quickly dying website. I have had people threaten my life. Tell me that I’ll be punished for eternity. Ya know? That sort of thing.

But really I prefer to let my winning personality speak for itself. For the most part I like to share my old person knowledge. I figure if I tell someone how I did it wrong. Then maybe it’ll help them do it right.

I think it paints a funny mental picture.

I mean think about it. A big veiny strong Muhammad. With a thick beard, and curly dark chest hair. Balls deep in a white twink Jesus.

I mean it turns me on.

That was a roller coaster of amazing. Bravo good sir/madam.

I had a dream the other day that myself and others were being pursued by government assassins. I proclaimed that I wasn’t afraid of them. The people I was with said that nothing bad would happen to me because I didn’t live there.

Right then a bunch of guys in suits burst in and grab the people that I was with. They held me down and made me watch as they force fed poison to the people I was with.

I watched in horror as pink foam came from their moths and they flopped around on the floor. Obviously in pain. They made gurgling sounds through the foam.

Right then my partner woke me up to say she was going to work. I had only been asleep for an hour and a half. My heart was pounding from what I had just witnessed. There was no way I could go back to sleep after that.
