Why helldivers? I haven’t even heard that game talked about in like, over a month.

Also “CSAM” is a better term

I see. I had noticed people using that term instead, but I never knew why. Thanks for the info.

But then if you report something nobody should see, say CP for example, you’re suddenly subjecting 20 random people into seeing it.

This is how I handle pirating. I more or less treat pirating as a demo for the game. If I liked the game enough to finish it, 9/10 times I’m going to actually buy it unless I have some personal reason not to, like the dev being a pos I don’t wish to support or something.

Riiight… you were just acting like a scalded cat for shits and giggles, eh?

You know, you keep saying this, but until you directly attacked my character, I was completely unmoved by your comment. I didn’t give a shit about you and was just lightly disagreeing with you in my original comment. Maybe you should go back and re-read this full comment chain because I literally have zero fucking clue where you’re getting this idea from. I’d like to see you point out, with the full context, where I acted defensive before you actually attacked me personally.

Ooooh… and that would be such a terrible thing, right?

Correct.

so it’s perfectly rational to pretend that this fundamentally white supremacist society couldn’t possibly have affected you, superheroic liberal that you are, in any possible way, right?

Did I say that? Are you actually obtuse or did you just miss the bit where I said this:

When I say something stupid and have it pointed out to me that it’s coming from a perspective of privilege, I realize my fault and try to do better. Believe it or not, nobody is perfect…

Anyway, maybe you should stop calling me racist just because I’m white. That is, quite literally, racist.

You are so incapable of detaching yourself from whiteness that you will literally view any mention of white supremacism’s roots in white, western liberalism as a personal attack…

Again, I do not give a shit about my skin color. I REPEAT, I DO NOT CARE ABOUT BEING WHITE. I DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU THINK I DO. Seriously, for the love of god, pull your dick out of your mouth and take a deep breath. I think the lack of oxygen going to your brain is getting to you. And then maybe you can actually try listening to me. The thing that I took as an attack was you heavily implying that I’m racist. You know, an attack. Go ahead though, keep ignoring me when I tell you this. That dick ain’t gonna suck itself.

This you?

What the hell is the even supposed to mean? By saying that a group of people I never even claimed to be a part of aren’t necessarily white supremacists, I’m somehow feeling attacked? You know, if somebody were to say all Germans are as bad as Hitler, I would argue with them. That doesn’t mean I personally felt attacked and thought I was being compared to Hitler. You do not need to feel personally attacked by something in order to defend it.

You know overt white supremacism?

Irrelevant. Overt, subtle, it doesn’t matter. You’re calling me, somebody you know nothing about, racist—and for that, you can kindly fuck right off.

You turning reactionary at the mere mention of the term white supremacism is pretty telling. Remember… at no point did I actually accuse you of anything.

I did not turn reactionary at the mere mention of the term. I turned reactionary at you heavily implying that I am one, you fucking ass. And no, the distinction between that and actually calling me one is irrelevant. But go ahead and play your little holier than thou act. I hope you’re at least fooling yourself, because you’re certainly not fooling anybody else.

You feel attacked because…

See above.

I’m going to take a wild guess here and bet that you always feel the need to “distance” yourself from the likes of Rittenhouse and his ilk, because you don’t want people to associate your whiteness with his.

Uh, no. It’s telling that you’re so obsessed with the color of my skin, but I actually don’t give a fuck about this man or that we share a similar shade of skin. Maybe you should look at yourself in a mirror instead of projecting your racism onto others. If I wish to distance myself from him, it’s due to his politics and shitty views, not because of his skin color. Just like I’d like to distance myself from Hitler or Stalin. Or you, for that matter. I’m sure you know what I think better than I do, though, so please, why don’t you go ahead and tell me how wrong I am about my own thoughts on the matter? Maybe if you keep it up long enough, you’ll finally wonder why it’s getting hard to breathe and notice that you’ve got your own dick shoved 3 inches down your throat!

I didn’t feel attacked though, at least not until right now where you’re clearly accusing me of being a white supremacist?? Where do you get off doing that to somebody you’ve never even spoken to before?

When I say something stupid and have it pointed out to me that it’s coming from a perspective of privilege, I realize my fault and try to do better. Believe it or not, nobody is perfect, and me not knowing literally every way I might have it better than somebody else doesn’t suddenly make me believe white people are the superior race.

You can take a shot at answering that… or I could answer it for you if it makes it easier.

But thanks for the offer, you self righteous asshole. Fuck off.

Being ignorant of some issue a non-white person might have doesn’t make you a white supremacist.

I imagine phones no longer having headphone jacks isn’t helping the wired headphones market. I’d gladly use wired headphones if it meant I didn’t need to charge mine or worry about them dying on me. Aside from working out, it’s not like the wire is exactly in the way…

Fair, but these are all perfectly valid reasons to do so on Lemmy as well, so I still think it makes more sense to do so here than on Reddit.

Why? I feel like that would be more common on Lemmy than anything. There is an actual point in using different instances here, I don’t see any point whatsoever on Reddit.

I know at least one person who, after saying they don’t like Trump and agreeing that he has done several illegal things, said that they would rather have Trump as president than Biden again.

It’s certainly not impossible that he gets elected again.

I think the first note was fine. It’s definitely going to be a spot of confusion for a lot of people. I agree that the rest were largely unnecessary though.

It’s okay little buddy, you tried your best.

It’s not even subtle. “We’re very grateful for the aid, but if you stop helping us, who knows what might happen to you?” is a damn threat. I’m actually pretty disappointed in him for that one.

Humanity successfully landed another object safety on a celestial object hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Earth. Of course that’s impressive.

Plus, they succeeded where Russia failed, which is at least mildly amusing.

Wow, at least one highly upvoted comment like this has been on every single post that involves global warming on Lemmy that I’ve clicked on.

If we get to the point where we “learn our lesson”, most of the innocent creatures on the planet are probably dead. You people depress me.
