Video games=paper money=chickens. I’m surprised he’s telling people where his gold is though, that rarely works out well.

You have to appeal to everyone and no one.

(there are a lot of things that he can do that SCOTUS has preemptively granted him immunity for, though…)

Biden is actually in the trolley problem. He can either save many and go to hell (he’s Catholic) or he can let the many die. I don’t envy him.

First of all, it’s not your fault. There already is a lot of people on Lemmy trying to blame ourselves for what happened while the R’s are legally cheating every which way you turn. We probably don’t even know the half of it. It’s not our fault, the end. If you voted for Harris, you did well.

Also, stop looking at the big picture and take care of your family and friends while sticking together. Us being in distress is good for them to make democracy end that much easier. Take care of yourself and family, the government will not. I mean it, support each other.

If people are being shitty and wanting us to fight inwards, ignore it, downvote it, and move on. Don’t fall for the trap.

Accept that half of our voting population doesn’t care about anyone but themselves. Those people, just ignore them. Let them whine and cry when they get shit on too. Keep all of that energy for yourself and the people who you need to support and protect.

You’re going to have to consider this a hostile takeover from the far-right, white nationalists, *billionaires, Russia and China. Buckle up.

Sorry man, that sounds like a you thing. If someone is trolling you, you commenting back is the worst thing you can do. Just state your facts (to give the counterbalance) once and then walk away. If you’re replying and explaining, they’re winning.

Maybe you’re not using Lemmy correctly? I would suggest looking at hot, 6 hour, 12 hour, and subscribed in that order. Blocking communities that drive you crazy would also probably really benefit you.

The internet has that problem, but Lemmy is the best at combating that stuff I’ve seen so far.

I don’t know, Bloomer Blimpson would be a good alternative too. Maybe Blisa Blimpson?

Exaxtly that, I just don’t have the bandwidth.

Thanks, I didn’t realize that worked here. But I meant tagging a user as awesome or a troll or whatever. That way, when you kind of remember seeing the name and they seem like they’re trolling, I can tell right away if I’ve had previous interactions with them. RES was awesome for that.

That was years ago. I’m sure I saved it on reddit, but I haven’t been back there since I switched. Sorry about that. It was a real study though, they were trying to figure out all of he social media trolling from Cambridge Analytica and all that. It might have been even earlier.

Yes, that and the tagging of users.

They did a study around the 2020 elections and have found the following to work with trolls:

Respond once with the facts (if you must), and then walk away. I have found Lemmy not needing that most of the time, just downvoting seems to work. But if you’re on the place that shall not be named, this works.

I swear this is relevant:

TikTok - SNL

There was a family that lived next to my parents that lost their house in the 08 crash because they were sold a shitty loan. They were the sweetest people. I happened to be visiting when they had a huge blowout family party on their last day there. I was hoping it was using the money that was supposed to go to the banks. They were the epitome of what I think the original intent was of that saying. The world sucks, fr, but you have to live anyway. It’s not toxic positivity if you live it. That’s my take anyway.

Wait, I’m confused. Glass is a blob that is slowly cooled, same with obsidian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass#Microscopic_structure

Then it’s confirmed that I don’t agree with you that that’s what is happening with the Biden administration. They’re trying to keep our allies from being bombed originally and now they’re tied up in a shit dumpster.

What do you think Zionist means?

Do you really believe that? Biden is a church going Catholic. We don’t know what’s going on here, but I suspect it’s more money related.
