Nah free speech means the government won't stop you. It doesn't mean we gotta listen to you or give you a platform for the hate whether it's irl or online. Gotta read that first ammendment a bit more throughly my dude

One of many reasons I'm on Linux now and have been for years. I got tired of the bs and the increasing need fo reinstall often they forced on me....At least when I do it, it's my fault or I'm jumping distros lol

I just wish there was a alternative for us introverts. Being a younger millennial(zillenial??? Idek), it's rough finding people. Esp being audhd and moving right before the pandemic and just not being able to predict people and catch their interest sigh

Bc it's always been probirth or pro forced birth. They're infamous for naming things against what they actually do. But people vote and empower them all the same bc they fall for it

Its been there awhile with these people....I wish I was kidding but they believe Mexico and other countries that way are so evil this is reasonable. Their stereotypes just seem to get more and more crazy that they believe....

I just wanna say this is irony that it came up on a work machine tho. Like they really trying to get you out of there 🤣

Our systems are just so unbelievably broken. They gerrymander and destroy other systems to keep themselves in power and its just sick.

Capitalism at work. Why pay when you pay politicians to avoid needing to through fines?

Like couldn't be that jobs don't think we're worth a livable wage and that they union bust or coworkers can't be convinced to do so.....like I want things better for myself but without others banding together at any job I get it never will...

Nah should be Dopamine attention variability executive disorder(I'm misremembering it I'm sure somehow). Otherwise known as DAVE

Cue the "God >!FUCKING!< DAMMIT DAVE" Audio lol

I don't hate free speech. There's just nothing saying I HAVE to listen to someone spewing hate and misinformation. Especially all the hate and misinformation that's put me in danger for years because of me being queer or neurodivergent.

Ironic seeing as that bench has hostile design to prevent anyone from sleeping there. Couldn't just work on the reasons kids or anyone goes homeless and yknow provide people with housing. It's a human right for that, food, and Healthcare but we can't provide it bc the rich need their TaxCuts sigh

I mean he's always been considered a moderate. The voting system encouraged him through since we can't get voting reforms to pass. What I wouldn't give for ranked elimination style voting or something.... I'm so tired of being continually screwed by the system and it encouraging the gerrymandering that happened in my state despite our own laws against it

Can...can we turn it on????

Now if only local queers and allies in my state state would pay attention. We just passed some of the same shiz not too long ago and it sucks. Esp bc someone decided to flip and give them a supermajority here.

I'm scared as a bi, nb, and AuDHD person for my life. If people in my community knew I'm sure I'd become another statistic 😭

Funnily diaspora was my first foray away from big social media sites and here I am years later on both lemmy and mastodon 🤣

Diaspora never got me to stick for some reason but somehow these two are working and idk how

Yep....always about having a scapegoat to distract from the big plan 😭

Wish more did that tbh.....esp as a tech person who MS and apple ran off with choices they made. Plus I like having more freedom on shiz to customize things more without risk it'll break that easily(without a major yearly update withstanding but still not as often as windows....)

Yea and also water is wet. We're kinda powerless unless somehow we turn a miracle out of all the gerrymandering. I'm just so done with this bs and being unable to fix anything....

Then give me communism bc this free market shiz aint it. Giving us the scraps that AI doesn't want is just nuts if we get anything at all. Esp since no one beyond billionaires want this ai crap
