Thoughts and prayers

I play games for the games. I might have a preference on the type of TV and shit, but that’s all personal preference. If the game is good, it’s good on either one.

If you find the idea that queer people have the right to exist to be too much of an echo chamber for you, then that’s a bit telling.

“But the bias!”

Maybe it’s just me, but if I wanted to know what was going on in the queer communtiy, I would say queer people are the best people to listen to. Just like how if I wanted to learn about the struggles of bring black or a woman, I would consider them the go to source. I wouldn’t go to the people causing the problems. Like I wouldn’t go to David Duke to learn about what black people go through. Or Andew Tate on how to treat women.

In those case, the article calls out the lies from the sources you say we wouldn’t take, so of course I’m not gonna listen to them. Because they’re not just biased. They’re lies. In this case, it’s things such as tuck swimwear being sold to kids. That was heavily reported on, despite being false.

To help explain what a bias actually is, think of it this way:

One article says Bill punched Jim. Billy is a bully. We have someone saying they saw it.

The other article says Bill did not punch Jim. He is fine. We have the video to prove it.

Now, both do have a bias. Yes. One says he’s a bully, the other says he’s not.

But one of them makes a claim, says they have someone who saw it, but it turns out it was a lie.

So one of these is a bias, one of these is a lie. It’s slander.

Should we find articles without a bias? Arguably. But for starters, if the non-biased articles agree with the biased article and all the facts, and they do show with the same video that Bill did in fact not punch Jim, then I would argue the bias isn’t the issue. If Bill didn’t punch Jim, then there’s no real reason to say he’s a bully.

Similarly, it is a fact that right wing news sources lied about the swimwear. And they have an anti-LGBTQ+ bias. But we know it was a lie.

So when an article calls it out and has a bias that trans people are fine, there’s no reason to beleive its not. And the bias that the right are being bigoted ans trying to take away the rights from trans people then becomes less of a bias and more of just facts.

So we can find another source for this, but when they simply just list the facts, it will only back up this article.

I might check this one out later. I usually use audiobookbay, but half the links are dead if it’s more than 5 months old. And i keep forgetting to try and log in at the right time for Myanonymouse.

My boyfriend only has a year left of nursing school. With so many countries having a shortage, we are thinking that might help us. Like apperantly in Japan they have a program to get people in for nursing and you can buy a house for cheap. But I’m not sure if I want to love in Japan. About 3-4 months ago I actually had some people from Australia on reddit giving me a lot of good info to help us get over there, and one person was talking to me about New Zealand.

So here’s to hoping. I’m gonna miss my family and friends. It’s gonna be hard, but I’m tired of this place.

Apperantly kids are cheaper than I thought

I also feel like it’s become more right wing. Or at least now that some people have left, the balance has shifted further to the right. I went on yesterday, and r/WhitePeopleTwitter, a fairly left wing sub, is now having a lot of Republicans. Really killed my desire to go back. It was something I know a lot of people predicted would happen, but still sad in a way to see.

Edit: Also the fact that the main niche subs I went to are dead. They used to be pretty active, but since they reopened, a lot of users were not happy. So now it’s a post every few days. I think one of the subs just got completely deleted. Sadly they’re not as active here.

I missed it. Like I was around, but I don’t know what started it. Just logged on one morning and learned I wasn’t allowed to shit for 3 days.

You can’t tolerate fascism. To tolerate that and let genocide happen is to be a piece of shit as well.

“When a Nazi is a Nazi, don’t come crying to us who support the Nazis”

Yeah, I never took it as preferential treatment or anything. Part of it is just that I used Boost for Reddit, so a part of me wants thinks it would be cool to continue to support them. I’ll probably just stick here though. I’m sure eventually someone will make an app.

I’ve used Boost for reddit, and I’m on KBin, but it looks like between this and most of the other apps focusing on Lemmy, I might just switch over.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. This just sounds like my usage of Twitter, just without the negatives of Twitter. I have my community on there, but I never really ventured outside of it or followed celebrities or influences.

So I might just actually join. I hate the idea of starting over, but oh well. I’ll probably log onto Twitter for the first time in awhile, let people who I talked to know I’m on there, and see if anyone else is as well.

Yeah, I gives me similar vibes as “I don’t see color.”

But even if we remove bigotry and politics and all of that… labels aren’t necesarily bad. Like I am a creature who identifies as one of two main types of sexes that is sexually and emotionally attracted to creatures who identify as the same.

Which is a weird way of saying I’m a man who is sexually and romantically attracted to men, but those are labels, so I couldn’t say man, human, etc.

Of course I could also just say I’m gay. While yes, everyone is a little different, it has worked so far for me. People tend to get it.

Labels are not bad. It’s an idea only used by edgy teenagers and liberals who want to be good for the praise more so than for simply being good.

I’ve thought about going for all the stars in M64, but never get around to it. Might start doing that here soon.

About a year ago I went through the Tony Hawk games 1-American Wastland and 100% all of them. And not just do one play through with 100% of the goals and stuff. Unlocking characters and everything, which means beating each game over and over with every character.

Got the Kingdom Hearts collection for the PS3 and platinumed 1 and 2

And many many more think you’re a bigot.

Same. We have seen nothing but reddit shitting the bed. If people are still staying everything, they’re not as likely to leave. If this doesn’t do it, then that’s that. The subs I would consider stating for are dead. Emulation has a post from yesterday, and then 5 days ago. EmulationOnAndroid is still private. Sad to see the community not there anymore, since it was a great way to keep up with everything that was going on, but if they don’t pick up here I’ll just watch some YouTubers and move on.

I would argue at some point they would need to reject modern living as a whole. Go build an A frame in the woods. Forage for berries and shit. Many aspects of the ways we live cause deaths. Like cars hitting animals. So if a single animal is too much, I have a feeling they should really be following that mindset.

Not only is it interesting, and not only is it something they could have left for later

But why would someone be upset at a quick 10 second mental break from work? Take a second to breath. Let out some stress. You didn’t send them a novel and require them to read it then and there and throw all of their work off. It was just a quick little micro break.
