Keep it up! I honestly don’t know how you do it.

I recently tried debating politics online on a lemmy.world alt acc again but after someone just regurgitated nonsense they heard in their social media bubble I got so fed up I had to touch some gras.

I guess next time I’ll just follow the hexbear aproach and post pigs shitting on their own balls. Doesn’t win any argument, but feels kinda cathartic.

Ah I don’t think the smell is going to be an issue, I’ll just place them on my balkony. I think I’ll give it a try, thanks for helping me fart less :P

This once again shows how stupid the idea of copyright is.

The mentioned library genesis project is such a great idea and i use it extensively. It makes scientific articles, papers and cultural works available for everyone, regardless of income.

I understand where these writers are coming from but in my opinion they are working against their own interests here.

I mean currently most of the profits go to the big media coorperations anyway, are we sure ther isn’t a way to fairly pay the artists AND make their works publicly available at the same time?

Oh, this is super usefull info, thanks. I am no native speaker, is brine just salty water, or is there something else like vinegar required?

With air lock you mean like a mason jars?

Yes, but they chose that route rather than for example expand their admin-team.

They would rather remain a small tight knit community than expand for fear of loosing their core values.

I’m disagree with their aproach but understand their reasoning. In the context of a instance war however I think they’d avoid conflict and thus remain impartial.

A group of people who call themselves anarchists and can be reasoned with does exist

I think we both agree on that. I just wanted to point out that that does not mean every anarchist can be reasoned with.

instead yelling what you perceive to be The Truth at them until they agree with you

Again I am with you on that, but no one here advocated that. If I say “they don’t want to hear the truth” I am not saying that I tell them they are straight up wrong. If I debate politics with someone I try to point out logical flaws or present my reasoning. If they don’t find my reasoning relatable that’s fine, most of the time we still agree on a lot of other points.

Oh I misspelled it. Petarades is a fancy word for farts. Read that somewhere and sounded kinda funny, as comes from pétarade (backfire) in french. English is not my first language so I though it would be more common than it actually is.

I had to learn that the hard way. Some people just like to argue for arguments sake.

No, I’d say you have to look at it more like eating habbits. You won’t convince someone who’s in his 50ies and all his life only ever ate fastfood to eat healthy. It’s objectively better for them, deep down they might even know it, but the force of habbit is just to strong.

There is a best choice, but not everyone want’s to hear it. You can’t convince everyone and have to pick your battles.

True, together with lentils they are my goto protein source. If only they wouldn’t cause petarades… Or maybe I’m just cooking them wrong :D

Someone posted a can of beans in lemmy.world’s shitpost community and said lemmy users will upvote anything. It got a couple thousand likes and rose to the top of the feed. I found it mildly funny at the time, but the way it is still beeing regurgitated reminds me to much of reddit.

Well, there are the fascists(exploding-heads.com) and the communists(lemmygrad.ml) for a start.

You have some national instances such as lemmy.ca, aussie.zone, feddit.de, feddit.nl, feddit.uk and feddit.it.

Beehaw is busy building their ivory tower by defederating anyone with a slightly different oppinion so i’d say they are the centrists or maybe the swiss.

Other than that the rest is pretty much the same, if you ask me.

businesses as worker owned coops

I mean isn’t that a soviet, or am I missing something?

Laughing about dead bourgeoise can never come soon enough.
