Strange, she can’t fall from a branch either. Whenever she does, she always seems to catch herself with spider web…
Love digiKam! It and darktable make up my daily drivers for my photography!
The first time I tried to use the scan and go system, I got pulled up at the exit point and had to prove that I’d purchased the stuff. Wasn’t keen on being made to feel like they thought I’d robbed the place, so I never went back to it
Centralised identity is something that Nostr does right. But it’s got a nazi bar problem
It just redirects to https://join-lemmy.org/ for me
They not only know, they’re gloating over it and rubbing it in
Cachy installs systemd-boot by default, but in the end I had to manually install grub, because systemd-boot doesn’t play nice with btrfs snapshots when you do a kernel upgrade.
tfw dystopian science fiction is your favourite genre!
As I said earlier, my initial comment was short, clearly a statement of personal opinion and not aggressive. You have responded with walls of text greatly exaggerating the content of my comment, and made multiple accusations against me, simply because you don’t like the fact I challenged a joke that comes across as homophobic to me.
You suggest that you also want to challenge homophobia, but somehow, the mild way in which I’ve done it here is still going too far for you, and warrants multiple accusations against my character.
I hope when you wake up, you can look at this conversation with fresh eyes and re-evaluate your role in it.
I encourage advocation. Just… please try not to trample bystanders in the process.
Go back and re-read my post, and then please tell me, how was I trampling anyone?
I’m just trying to make sense of everything.
This isn’t what “trying to make sense of everything” looks like. That would consist of asking questions. You aren’t asking questions though, you’re putting in a large amount of effort to tell me that actually, I’m the problem.
but we have to stop lashing out on suspicion
I wrote two sentences about how it feels a bit off to me. I didn’t “lash out”.
In response, I got a 500 word essay trying to encourage me not to challenge the status quo. The fact that you interpreted a short post, which wasn’t aggressive, and was clearly an expression of a personal opinion as “lashing out” is something I think you should look at. You’re projecting something on to me…
I went off a little bit, but returning to the comment in question. I don’t believe it was meant in any sort of disregard to any one walk of life.
I agree, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing underneath it. Normalised homophobia, racism and sexism are all things. They’re often invisible, which is how they get normalised in the first place. People repeating them often don’t even realise that they are. Challenging those norms is a good thing, because it helps people look at things from a perspective they may not have actively considered before, and that is how change happens.
We’re allowed to have a difference of opinion
You’re the one calling me a caricature for disagreeing with you. Pick a lane
Sure, but if the wizard were a woman, the joke wouldn’t work, because no one would expect her eyes to bleed and she wouldn’t “need therapy” simply from seeing a dick. Those parts only “work” because it’s a dude seeing another dudes dick, and that part feels sus
Sure, an unexpected dick is distracting, no matter who is involved. It might break your concentration, make you feel embarrassed, turn you on, or any one of a thousand reactions, none of which are homophobic.
But “your eyes start to bleed” and “your pupils dilate from the trauma”, “roll for therapy”, “take psychic damage”, those are a different story… The punchline there is that a man seeing another mans dick is traumatic, and that’s only “funny” because homophobia.
I don’t get this one. I feel like I’m missing something…
I don’t cope with heated spaces very well at all, because they get stuffy, and send me to sleep. So I tend to rely heavily on my throw over/shawl!
I don’t get it. Seeing a dick gives you psychic damage? Do straight women take damage too or is it only straight men?
If feels kinda homophobic tbh…
Unless it’s schoolies!
