I get what you’re saying but you need to look at how you’re reacting. The comment you’re responding to isn’t denying your existence, they are simply pointing out that the fediverse is diverse and you got your back up and told them to fuck off.

Now, if you want a more pleasant experience, and if you are an actual person (not a troll) then join a server that isn’t full of extremists like lemmy.ml. Beehaw is cool. There are other cool ones as well.

Regardless of which one you’re you’re still going to encounter bad actors, just as you will in real life. Remember that people who comment ignorantly aren’t always meaning harm…but it works both ways- you have the potential to turn an ally into someone who may start to think LGBTQ+ are full of emotional extremists (unless, again you’re a troll account and this is your sad, sad goal)

There are more allies out there than you know.

Chicken (thighs) with pesto & spinach with a giant sourdough that our neighbor gave us.

Seriously this thing is huge. Banana for scale.

Baking sourdough bread is his hobby and man, he produces such great stuff!

Yeah so my last phone was a Samsung and after 2 years…ONLY 2 years I had to reset the phone every time to charge, and every single update something new broke-either an app, speaker, phone… Finally got rid of that POS…never again.

OK, boomer

Have this bad boy on vinyl…wife wasn’t on board and then one day put it on while working and man she did a 180

The grapes of wrath. I hate read that in about 5 days in HSchool and still cannot stand it. The other books we were assigned I enjoyed…but this motherfucker, nope.

No worries, it’s a highly charged subject after all!

She’s almost asking for someone to put up a website & ask users to submit thier own Gina artwork.

…or at least an Instagram page dedicated to this latest Streisand effect screeching

If you’re mandated to have flood insurance with your mortgage, you must have it.

I’m sorry you misunderstood my point of view as an American who has emigrated out of the US (lived overseas in various places throughout my career but have finally been able to land in one spot to call home).

I have, however, lived in some very large international cities which skew perspective because they have shops open 24/7.

The town we live in all the large markets are open on Sunday in the summer, but that’s out of necessity because we go from about 65k residents to 350k. They are open shorter hours, but man it’s busy.

When we lived in Charleston SC in the early 2000s we had a wake up call because due to USA corps of engineers new zoning we were in a flood zone, and were forced to purchase National Flood Insurance, this was apart from all other and could not be part of your escrow payment. 1x per year, 2k+ payment you had to pull out of your ass.

He just has to maintain it until his ally Trump wins in November.

I live in a country like this and believe me, it’s refreshing. Yes it’s an inconvenience some times, but the alternative is 24/7 hell: once the expectation is that you can get anything you want, whenever you want then you start to compromise the lives of everyone because someone has to work those shifts, and if companies have to man those shifts they damn well will make profit-which is usually at the cost of staff pay. And then when you’re in line at 2am getting peanut butter and packing foam you realize the Karen in front of you yelling at the cashier because they don’t have chocolate croissants, is a product of this cycle.

Hard to say, most of my books are historical fiction, which would be horrible-living with a huge conflict during times of war and strife, or science fiction, which would be horrible for the same reasons.

But I guess I would choose Spider Robinsons The Callahan Chronicles (Cross Time Saloon) because it’s a few good stories, where the only conflict is personal…and there is plenty of beer.

What… exactly are you trying to lecture me on?

I mean, you’re not wrong, but neither am I?

I’m not so sure we’re on opposite sides here because you’re argument is that most people are actively for the war and I’m saying that if they’re not actively for the war (apathetic, stoic) then they are supporting it as well?

Toss in an analogy here and there about the last 20+year war and Israel, and we might as well go for UAE in Yemen and Syria’s proxy war and we got a stew going!

Plenty of people out there ready to listen to you up there on your soap box that actually are worth the time and effort.

My point is the ‘regular’ people who are completely indifferent to the regime because ‘well, that’s just the way it is’.
