So much drama over star trek memes. Some people really need to feel like they are the king of their made up little internet castle. In case I wasn't clear, I'm not saying that about you.

I used to moderate a decently sized subreddit. I genuinely wanted to make the community a better place. But there was no escaping the drama. People take this internet shit way too seriously sometimes.

Also if you are an alcoholic and trying to get sober, this stuff is so so so not worth taking a drink over. Though I realize that was likely more a joke than anything.

Nah, shran should be the biggest head on the poster.

The results of a war fought about that (and other obvious things) disagrees too.

There's way too many people in here that either don't know the difference between succession and secession, or don't know how to spell, or just were too lazy to look at what they were typing or what was being autocorrected.

I hate that song.

But that joke got better and better each time. To the point that now I don't really hate the song as much because I can just associate with that.

Also, pump up the jam is an anagram for jam up the pump.

This is my biggest issue with lemmy. The userbase is not particularly one I want to interact with or even read their comments most of the time. And it seems there is very little room for nuance or any real differing opinions. And worse, it seems most here are convinced they are correct (though that could be everywhere). There are a few niche communities devoid of that, but they are so small that there is either very little content or the same handful of people are doing all the posting.

Love the idea of lemmy as an alternative to reddit. In practice, it's absolutely not a place I want to fully spend my time.

So they can make money off it just in case?

And you don't see that on lemmy? It's everywhere. Well maybe less so actual arguments and more just 100% anti Israel.

And most other countries also have much stricter gun control laws too.

We could work on those things and the gun problem too.

So again, you are being very transparent by completely disregarding the guns as if they somehow aren't part of the gun violence problem.

Either way. I think this is where I drop out of this. We are going in circles and while I agree we should work on the things you mention, we clearly just disagree about the actual guns themselves. And of course neither of us are actually in a direct position to make changes to any of those things, I assume. So you have a good one.

I personally didn't propose any of those policies. I genuinely don't know what would work best. I just think you are being really transparent in treating the guns themselves as having nothing to do with the issue of gun violence.

I think everything you were saying would be great to accomplish. It's just really disingenuous to propose them knowing there is a slim chance any of them will happen while completely ignoring the actual guns, just because you want to keep your guns.

We do have a societal problem. We also very much have a gun problem.

And proposing all these other things you know won't get accomplished is a way to shift all the responsibility away from the gun issue itself.

And you aren't being emotional about even the thought of some more gun control or anything to even tackle that issue head on? Come on.
