Badass

Not really.

The court seems to disagree.

/c/world isn’t the world, sweetie.

I know it can be confusing if you’re not proficient in English.

Western media is beholden to Israeli interests.

So which is it? Was she raped or was this consensual?

China learns to make better chips and Taiwan fades into irrelevancy.

Once they stop being valuable to the US, China will be able to take it for themselves with no effort if they desire.

Again.

I don’t have the energy to keep engaging with you, so I’m just going to downvote and move on.

Have a nice day.

Can you make your argument without resorting to inaccurate analogies? That way we can focus on the topic instead of getting derailed.

If you’re not making posts that the community members want to see, then they are justified in downvoting you so that they do their part to influence the culture of the community.

The fact that you’re only targeting downvoters and not upvoters leads me to believe you want to surround yourself with yes-men instead of authentic humans.

If you think 5 people downvoting you is what’s stopping your posts from gaining visibility, then you are simply incorrect. Lemmy is still very small and most communities that aren’t tech or politics aren’t “visible” because they lack activity.

And? Upvotes increase visibility.

Why is one bad but the other is acceptable?

It’s also not an issue in “smaller communities” because there’s not enough content to bury heavily-downvoted posts anyways.

Beautiful!

Not everyone is worth engaging with.

How come you’re only focusing on downvotes but not upvotes? People can give their approval without question but if they disapprove then they must explain themselves? Sounds like toxic positivity.

Video games were only lame when the business school people weren’t in control.

Yeah, we’ve been conditioned to scoff at it so we don’t recognize it when we see it.

No, it’s a part of human nature and most people can’t rise above it.

Some laws were meant to be broken.

Gay sex was seen as a crime, once upon a time. (it still is, in some places)

We can all do our part. Be safe and hide your identity. Leave your phones at home because they can be used to track you.

Modern liberals don’t know what they’re doing or why they’re doing it.
