The point is that Zelenskyy has undertaken a great deal of stress during this trying time, as many Ukrainians have. The exhaustion written on his face is saddening, because it reflects the weight of the troubles assailing Ukraine, but it also shows that he is a great man, undertaking these burdens when lesser men would have fled or given up.

I used old.reddit as well, but I noticed a marked decline in the already-not-stellar quality of comment sections and an increase in karma bots posting.

Hey, congratulations! This place has its flaws, no doubt, but it’s a much improved community over what Reddit has become - especially in the past 2-3 years.

Man, when I was in high school, smartphones were getting big, but the school always tried to crack down on their very existence in school grounds (much less usage).

Got my first cell in the 8th grade. Never been fond of the things.

In the original, the despairing ending was finding the remains of human civilization, which had destroyed itself.

In the 2001 version, it bizarrely ends with the main character returning to Earth, only to find that he’d changed the past or something and apes ruled in the modern day, complete with a statue of Ape Abe Lincoln.

I suppose the image, with the T-Rex surrounded by puzzled humans, felt more like the latter than the former to me.

Doubt. Fascist fuckwads.

It’s true. What a disgrace.

I would say Trump’s action is less ‘decisive’ and more ‘impulsive’ for that very reason. He doesn’t make decisions. He just reacts, usually to how much he’s shat his diaper on a given day, or how badly he wants to impress Putin and other dictators.

I’m not saying he was worthless. But I am saying that he picked excessive caution over decisive action, and that has a price in blood - especially now that US aid is likely to dry up indefinitely.

I’m pissed at everything.

Wasn’t most of it undelivered until very recently?

Fuck Biden and him falling for Cold War red line rhetoric. Ukrainians wouldn’t be nearly so much at the mercy of the orange twat if Biden had shown a little fucking backbone from the start.

Yea, it’s like going to a christian household for dinner and eating before grace. They don’t expect you to participate in the prayer but the least you can do is not start eating before they’re ready in their own home

Again, as stated in the meme, all of this happened on an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT INSTANCE, and Blahaj felt the need to intervene.

Sure it’s a little weird to sit their with a bowed head while they leave their magic diety a voicemail but it’s not harmful and they aren’t asking you to convert in order to eat supper.

They drove someone off for daring to have Wrongthink. Kind of sounds like they are asking to convert to eat supper - even at another table.

Blahaj has Blahaj rules - don’t like them, then don’t comment and/or visit.

This meme is explicitly referencing an incident that happened entirely off of Blahaj in which Blahaj stans harassed a trans user into leaving the Fediverse.

I was sad for like the first 6, in a “Dammit, you poor little bastards, you didn’t have to die, you just couldn’t live here.”

After that? I rejoiced when I’d hear a mousetrap snap shut.

There’s only so much skittering in the ceilings a sleep-deprived man can take before murderous rage replaces animal empathy. I thought we’d rid ourselves of all of them three times now. Each time, a few months past and the fucks are at it again. The landlord has tried an exterminator - though I use the term lightly, as all he did was put down some poison bait. Not sure if it worked.

It seems to be a local problem, though. Just the other day I found dead mice on the sidewalk several streets away, too far to be our’s. C’est la vie.

Hey look, a liberal that doesn’t like queer people! Who could’ve guessed :D

I dislike queer people so much that I [checks notes]… am upset that a queer person was harassed off of the Fediverse…?

Fucking r-selected species, two survive and the fuckwads repopulate

You wanna claim it’s literally 1984 for being called out like a Republican does?

Calling a trans person transphobic for disliking an instance’s policies, in a thread where others are throwing around the same accusations and adding ones like “fascist” and hounding them over daring to go against Team Blahaj?

I wanna claim it’s literally Tumblr-Livejournal level bullshit.

Not a good luck for you.

“Oh boy, it sure is great that we’re driving trans folk off the Fediverse for not believing in Possum-People!”

What a fucking crime that would be, right.

I’m not trans, the OP in that thread was trans. Not that that matters, apparently, since they were engaged in Wrongthink.

I don’t harras trans women

Now we’re denying that a user is trans, great.

Sorry I read the words you write through angry tears about online drama.

I can tell. Stop for a moment, grab a few tissues, clean up. It’ll help the blurriness.

Nope, because I don’t do that,

You were literally involved in the thread, and said that everyone who didn’t like Blahaj was a transphobe.

You’re the one saying Blahaj has squads of downvotes anytime someone disagrees with the hive.

As usual, you display what is either a dire paucity of basic literacy, or a total disregard for basic integrity. Like how you were correctly at least three times on whether a situation was about pronouns and chose to, continually and with total disregard for what was plainly said, say that it was, not as a counterargument, but simply restating the position in the hopes that repetition would convince anyone skimming the conversation.

I’m using your tactics against you to see how silly you sound.

Well, I’m glad you think I’m as influential on the Fediverse as an entire instance, but I assure you that I’m not.
