  There is as much right to be an asshole as there is to not put up with assholes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As fundamental as not having to put up with assholes.

  You wanna do it? Go do it over there where no one else has to put up with your shit

  Something something Georgia

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Think anyone would notice?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Florida attached to Europe looks mildly like a penis.

  I don’t know how anyone but Frakes could be Xanatos

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity ...It Just Keeps Get Worse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you considered that plenty of people probably find your advice stupid and condescending regardless of saying the word “airpod”?

  Or that the word airpod was also unnecessary since you already said headphones?

  Apple defaultism is pretty dumb on its own, but it’s hardly the biggest problem with your comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why were the TOS movies better than the TNG movies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s slow with bad pacing. There’s are things that are obviously supposed to look impressive but even if they ever did (for which there’s disagreement between the nerds old enough to remember) it absolutely did not age well. Those are the obvious ones off the top of my head without having watched it in a few years.

  I guess I’ll have to give this HD director’s cut a shot but I’m pretty skeptical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why were the TOS movies better than the TNG movies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll admit I haven’t seen that but it would have to be some impressive magic.

  My wife has never managed to stay awake past the opening sweep around the Enterprise but I can’t say it really gets better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why were the TOS movies better than the TNG movies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think while Insurrection and Nemesis are widely agreed as bad next gen movies I would argue they’re better than the worst original movies.

  If you can’t acknowledge Motion Picture as bad I don’t know that we can have the discussion on a solid base though.

  Thanks for picking up where the summary dropped the ball

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If the point was federation then defederation wouldn’t be an option.

  Defederation is a tool available to instances to protect the greater fediverse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that related to the mystic esquilax?

  Count me on the “would subscribe” list

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel this place has gotten more.. reddit-y lately?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Gee I wonder what kind of opinion the person who down voted you has

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel this place has gotten more.. reddit-y lately?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m very much in agreement with you. I think there’s an important value in seeking out those you disagree with. If your values can’t stand under scrutiny then you really do need to carefully consider them.

  At the same time there’s space between what you disagree with and what is harmful to your state of mind for most people. Plenty of people don’t want to see anything NSFW and removing that is in no way turning their experience into a bubble.

  Nuance is absolutely an important word here but I think the knee jerk isolation response to mention of blocking things is far more harmful than helpful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel this place has gotten more.. reddit-y lately?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You think people should be forced to see things they don’t want to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨funny because true⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve got a point. A whole lot of boomers are annoyance issues leading us millennials to not answer our phones

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism indoctrination in progress.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah but what is enough money for you or I is not enough money for the bigwigs. And since they’re obviously more important, as they’re at the top, we have to have sure they get enough money even if that means you don’t.

  But they’ll get you a ping pong table so you can stop thinking about how you don’t know what you’re going to feed your family tonight

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does a cat ever wonder why humans feed them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You never met anyone who hated part of their family?

  I know some Thanksgiving dinners you could go to…
