“Mobs” is a loaded word. This isn’t vigilante justice. This is how social systems work.

Sorry, I thought this was “lefty memes,” not “bootlicker memes.” My mistake.

What the fuck does this have to do with forcing bigots off the train? Clueless ass comment. Blocked.

What is the 196 sub?

Shitposting community that is expressly LGBT+ affirming and trends leftist (see stickied posts, for example)

Why is the bad guy depicted as a Chad?

Good question lol. Maybe because the person who doesn’t look like a male stereotype is the reasonable person in this post?

Do we get a poem?

Then I’m left with no choice but to depict myself as the gigachad

I was hoping to avoid such extreme measures

I realize most people who would visit 196 certainly know this, but I still feel compelled to point out that anarchism is entirely incompatible with capitalism.

Housing is a basic human right

There’s also !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I wish I had more to contribute, but I always feel like I’m rambling and trying to sort things out for myself vs. ever having a distinct point. I’d like to see a more active anarchist community because most of the communities I use aren’t exactly great places to discuss anarchism without getting dunked on.

Edit: Oh wait, we’re in that community lol

Fwiw I’m always using Proton VPN (paid version) on my phone (Android) and frequently on desktop as well (both Windows and Linux).

I use Discord on all these platforms, and I’ve never had trouble using it while connected to a server via Proton.

Mario lacks any tools, huh? Just got to raw dog it.

Every new fact I learn about Stonewall makes me respect the people who were involved even more.

Yeah full disclaimer: This is a screenshot of something my friend posted and not my experience. I’d imagine it would hurt, but maybe I could practice it with … a very trusted friend lol

I used to be part of Amazon’s program where you get free items to review. It’s even worse than people think.

I left negative or neutral reviews that just don’t appear on the listing, or the seller will contact you directly offering you more free things to upgrade your review, or they’ll just relist their crappy broken product and hope the reviewers write positive reviews (a lot of reviewers would just get free stuff and then write something positive without actually testing it).

Amazon reviews are totally unreliable, and even those sites and extensions that try to determine if a product’s reviews are legitimate aren’t very effective.

I just ask people directly to share their experiences now or create a post on Lemmy because it’s so bad.

With all the absurd turns YouTube and Google have taken, I’ve been looking at this for five minutes trying to figure out if this is a shitpost

Not at all. I don’t know the exact mechanism, but a lot of people experience a period of intense unbridled happiness while becoming sober. It only lasts a couple of weeks to a month, but it’s so great when it happens. I’d dance by myself listening to music and just be happy as a kid on a snow day. Some people have described it as having “rainbows shooting out your asshole.” I wish I could feel like that all the time.

Recovered alcoholic since 2017.

One of the trippiest parts about getting sober was experiencing something called “REM rebound” where you dream intensely and vividly all night long, night after night. The way it was explained to me is that alcohol inhibits REM sleep to such a degree that it’s like it has to catch up for lost time. It’s exhausting but also an interesting experience, I’ll say that much.

It took quite some time to feel like I got a restful sleep, but oh man, what a difference when I did! Reflecting on my drunken decade, I don’t think I knew what a good night’s sleep was. I felt like I was sleeping, but it’s more like I was passing out from alcohol overdose day after day. It’s no wonder I was constantly depressed and suicidal all those years.

That and the “pink cloud” phase (which I wish could’ve lasted forever) were the most interesting parts about becoming sober.

Memes don’t normally make me literally laugh out loud, but this spoke to something in me that I can’t explain

In addition to piracy, I’ve also been checking out DVDs from my local library. It’s kinda fun.

Surprised myself because I half expected I’d miss the convenience of Netflix, but I haven’t missed it even a little.

“Was I a good streaming platform?”

“No.”

Companies issuing refunds in the form of gift cards is just straight-up insulting
