Armok: God of Blood

That’s one little chunky boy.

My ex is a domestic abuser and a pedophile

I thought about doing that, but I don’t have the training or license to drive a boat. I’m in Hawaii, so it can get pretty rough out in the ocean. I’m also not sure how I would get money for food and stuff. I don’t have massive savings or anything.

That gave me a chuckle.

Same, except now I don’t know how I’m gonna pay next month’s rent. (I was spit out a while ago.)

It’s not OC. If it was, OP wouldn’t have had to link to Reddit to share it.

Yes. However, we shouldn’t be sourcing content from Reddit at all.

Linking to Reddit kind of defeats the purpose of using Lemmy.

The mods also remove posts for nonexistent rules, so it all balances out.

You don’t get people with 5 years of experience if no one is willing to give you experience.

The push to get people to stop saying it Streisand Effected the word into a slur. There’s no reason it shouldn’t have just gone the way of “moron,” except people turning it into a bigger problem than it ever had any right being.

The entirety of your final paragraph reads like a guilt by association fallacy.

Intellectually-disabled people were originally defined with words such as “morons” or “imbeciles”, which then became commonly used insults.

I don’t see anyone getting a ban anywhere for calling someone a “moron,” for any other reason than making an ad hominem. The thought is almost laughable.

If I call you “stupid,” “moronic,” or “intellectually bankrupt” you know what I’m saying. Getting offended by the specific wording of an ad hominem, while giving synonymous terms a pass, is truly some of the finest hair-splitting I have ever had the displeasure of seeing.

I blocked ML months ago. I’m still going to keep calling for large instances to defederate, because sticking my fingers in my ears doesn’t make the problem go away.

I got a 14 day instance ban for calling a tankie a tankie on ML. Their authoritarian ideology is dangerous and it needs to be quarantined.
