  oh! it’s you!

  The person on reddit that starts all comments with “well actually,”

  Can I have an autograph?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do linux users have wives?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I am the wife.

  Unrelated, why aren’t there more women in Linux spaces? We’ll never get to the bottom of it I fear. I haven’t read the comments in this thread yet, I’m sure they’re all completely uncontroversial.

  …my stats professor is a programmer, though. Are you not talking about high level statistics courses? A lot has changed since R and Rstudio has been developed. (It’s FOSS!). All of my assignments are either proofs in LaTeX or questions that involve programming.

  ( If you’re in a stats course and using excel, you are learning stats for babies. Your class has business majors in it.)

  I think this picture is a joke, however, some people have a sneezing kink. I am sorry to deliver this information.

  In highschool my friends and I challenged each other to find the worst fanfictions we could possibly unearth.

  Harry Potter sneezefic took 2nd place (looking back, it was about children… gross! but we were kids, and this was probably written by a kid? Life is mysterious.)

  Pssh everyone knows the only correct diet for a cat is their natural one: giant apex ocean predators (salmon and tuna) and corn-fed livestock. All mixed up with preservatives and taurine and ash, just like their mawmaw cats used to make!

  Ah yea, everyone that has an opinion that isn’t mine is dangerous and deserves to be silenced. I totally agree. I think lemmy.world should refederate, and then defederate a second time, just to make sure they get the message.

  There wereultiple cross-posts daily pointing to specific threads posted on hexbear to organize brigading.

  Yeah, I do remember that. That’s why I’m not signed up there. They weren’t changing anyone’s minds with their shitstirring and were doing it for their own enjoyment (which is damaging to all communities, even nonpolitical ones, if people avoid your platform due to trolling).

  That said, it was a past problem, and posters on lemmy.world are still out there complaining about Hexbear like they’re relevant. I’m speaking about the current situation.

  I’m not advocating for them to re-federate with lemmy.world (I have no dog in the race, anyway, being a part of neither instance) but I do remember watching the Hexbear mods/admins shutting down the actual brigading of threads before lemmy.world de-federated. Not sure it was a solvable problem, anyway, Hexbear is rather antagonistic in ways I don’t agree with.

  Have you considered you are just observing this:

  Hexbear is for communists to talk to communists. They get plenty of the “default” liberal opinions from waves hands around vaguely and are entitled to their own community, no?.

  Obviously if you go into Hexbear and just start posting anti-China stuff they’re going to ban you. It’s not like the English-speaking world is bereft of anti-China news articles.

  I’m not going to spend much time engaging with your comment because you didn’t read mine well.

  I did not mention race.

  I included mention of gay folks (see non-heteronormative). The “joke” doesn’t work unless the stem major desires being very close to a naked woman, so I don’t find your mention of gay men to make sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨near zero⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Only straight men are mathematicians, physicists and engineers. This is why the joke is framed this way.

  See: responses from OP, valiantly defending his choice to “piss people off”, instead of noticing the joke is just yet another reminder that men are default.

  After all, sexism is over, and STEM isn’t hostile to women/non-heteronormative people. It’s all in our head.
