Tart.

I get around, lol. I’ve been on Lemmy for quite a while now.

My girlfriend is also on the spectrum, so I try to handle neurodivergent misunderstandings here the same way I do with her: cunnilingus, uh, I mean, a clearly worded rephrasing of my statement.

Glad you found us, it sounds like you’ll fit in well here.

Why would Debian be unacceptable?

No man is an island. If you cut yourself off entirely, you are still sacrificing something, it’s just a different something than the things you sacrifice through engagement with capitalism. I choose on a case by case basis.

What was the purpose of all these shenanigans?

I stand corrected, lol.

It’s smaller, but more personable. It’s full of neurodivergent, queer, and tech oriented people. It has its own inside jokes—you will want to read up on beans.

Overall, I have enjoyed the experience. Sometimes, I have been surprised when people can’t detect obvious jokes or sarcasm, but then I remember how many people here are neurodivergent and try to reply with something kind and straightforward so we’re on the same page.

People tend to be very leftist compared to the rest of the internet, so it’s good to remember that the opinions here are not always representative of the world at large.

A huge chunk of Lemmy is German, and that part of the community remains a total mystery to me because I don’t speak German. They seem cool from afar.

Which communities you are able to see depends pretty heavily on which instance is your home base—I’m with DB0, and we federate with pretty much everyone who isn’t doing something detestably illegal, but LemmyWorld is much more exclusive with who they federate with, so their users don’t see the same instances that I do. Pick a home instance that fits you best because it will matter a lot as you find communities.

You will see interactions between communists and anarchists. Try to remember that you don’t have to comment on everything you might disagree with.

Welcome to the Fediverse—we’re happy to have you.

Did I miss any?

I walked 13 miles around manhattan while tripping on acid to show my former friend as much of NYC as possible in a single night. When I got back to the hotel, I laid flat on the bed and relieved all the pressure in my back. If a spine could have an orgasm, that would have been it.

Ran on a treadmill a couple of times, but then lost steam. Drank and spent time with strippers instead. Still wound up meeting and falling in love with the kindest and most beautiful girl I’ve ever been with, and now I don’t feel the need for the liquor and loose women anymore.

“Hit the gym” is a lie that Big Gym tells you so you’ll get stuck in an un-cancellable subscription. /s

Who says that?

Uh…I didn’t. I am a supporter of maximizing individual freedom and vote for the person who seems most in line with that, but I also feel that none of the options are bold enough. I think that if healthcare, housing, and education are considered human rights, then the bullshit grind of living gets reduced to a reasonable level and people can pursue their full potential.

Yes.

Ghost Blog. Open source, flexible, loads of potential uses, works every time.

Why do bands need to voice a strong opinion on international politics?

When you find out, let us know.

I don’t really understand why you think a lot of these things are losing causes. FOSS is the backbone of IT. Anti-car urbanism is common in some areas of the world. Lemmy and the Fediverse have been doing great over the last 2 years. Socialism/leftist ideology is on the rise alongside the fascist takeover—it would have been unheard of to have “the squad” in the 90’s.

So where you see losing, I see slow and steady progress happening alongside capitalist fascism that is trying and failing to stop it completely.
