are old fairy tales the only thing keeping you from banging goats???

nursing home. seeing two underpaid, coked out CNAs joke around as they stuff into a body bag the naked corpse of a man you were talking to 10 minutes ago really alters your perspective on life.

I hope it dies down after the election but I’m not getting hopes up

yeah but it showed what you’re talking about. he’s a destructive force of nature that can cause great misery even when he’s trying to do the right thing

this is what I liked about man of steel but last time I said I liked that movie online I got called an inbred lmao

it ain’t much but it’s honest! egg blows away

most of the toxicity I’ve experienced on lemmy has been from established users so idk… but I should add that it’s way less toxic than reddit so far

I think it’s also been hijacked by christian and muslim fundies in recent years. at least I’ve noticed a religious flavor to a lot of it and when you look at the profiles of people pushing it they’re often active in those groups.

no matter what happens on tuesday you just know 2028 is gonna be this but 10x worse. And 2032 will be 10x worse than that

I stopped talking to my grandparents not strictly because of their vote but because every single conversation turned into them screaming and ranting about the black/asian/mexican/etc menace, and saying anything in disagreement got you screamed at or sometimes threatened with violence. we could be pleasantly chatting about the wildlife in their backyard and then suddenly it’s all about how the ‘n----rs’ are ruining the country and we need to bring lynching back. these same people will loudly say they aren’t racist, somehow. they couldn’t even behave themselves in public and would talk like this at restaurants in full hearing of anyone around!

you’re so smart and cool

tldr

gonna break out my most hick outfit when it’s time to vote. don’t need anyone getting funny ideas.

Only one I ever use is the meta AI built into messenger because my friends and I can have it make silly and often extremely cursed pictures that make us laugh

whining about whining. classic!

thanks and likewise :)

I know exactly what you mean about the zaps and feeling disconnected. did you get the thing where you could hear your eyeballs moving? I thought I was actually losing it but after looking it up it seems to be a common SSRI withdrawal thing. aside from the zaps and, y’know, stabbing myself, that was the most maddening part of it for me.
