schizophrenia is normal people having bizarre experiences

although I will say that looking for hidden messages like this, engaging in wordplay and drawing startling conclusions from it, is definitely a hallmark feature of paranoid schizophrenia

not sure why anyone would engage in schizoposting for the memes though… “fools, i was only pretending to be sick”???

yeah antipsychotics are incredible. it really helps one let go of the demons inside. the new gen ones like Abilify balance your dopamine more too so you dont feel as bad

Janeway is great, but she’s also kind of a tyrannical psychopath. Which, while perfect for the mission she was given… doesn’t compare to The Sisko.

you seem to have me confused with the IT linux wizard type lemmy. I didn’t even understand half of that sentence

I need an alternative to gmail for creating new email accounts. Any ideas?

gives you pause that one person can have immense unchecked power over an arbitrary thing that’s overpopular right now? sounds like a perfect pitch for the pigs with investment bucks

I’m not calling them comms. find a better word if you don’t want to hear me say subs

well dude you’re not in a position to be using the services that require tipping. why not lead with that? I don’t flick the queen’s bean either but not because i turn down the opportunity.

if you’re in the system, it’s a different story. have a good day outsider. “i would just move” lmao

sounds useful! hope we fill that niche

oh man his holo-addiction is out of control!

never heard of lemmy one

yeah the whole “it’s my nature” thing always weired me out. like yall realize that human nature is still being determined right?? what we are, we have a say in. we aren’t scorpions, we’re creatures that depend on each other so much that we experience emotional pain when isolated, and make sounds to share concepts that we then turn and think using those sounds created in the heads of others. we’re literally closer to ants in nature than scorpions

you’re right, im wrong. next time i see someone busking im gonna take his tip cup and tell him what you just said. if he asks “why are you denying me my money that i worked for” ill just tell him “im not evil its just the system that makes you homeless”

And I’m guessing this is your non ml alt.

i knew you were gonna lump me in the “i can ignore this person” group. feel free to check my post history if you think im a tanky but warning youll get bored

im sorry you received criticism for pulling a bad example out of your ass. maybe dont do that next time

Look, this isn’t about gotchas, can we be cool for a second here? I’m not doing this. The point is that even though the global economic system has abuses everywhere, you chose to use an example that is both racially and politically charged. When called out about it, specifically that there are numerous examples that both hit closer to home and lack the baggage of your chosen example, how did you react? You immediately dismissed the criticism as coming from a group who you view as holding a number of untenable positions, thus allowing you to dismiss the criticism without engaging with it.

This is the group-think mentality that causes us all problems. It’s nothing personal man. Just please be sensitive that there’s a lot of rhetoric around China right now that ultimately comes back to hurt your own neighbors.

(I mention chocolate because it’s such a poignant example: something many of us enjoy regularly is primarily produced via child labor. I think that would have been the best way to make your point about there being multiple scumbags, including people who don’t tip and people who eat chocolate.)

Do you eat chocolate?

I mean I don’t like tankies either but is this user wrong? it’s a little weird to use these flippant (and frankly, derogatory) stereotypes about China when there are so many examples of it around the world

it’s 2025 and we’re in middle of a trade war with china, just recovering from “kung flu” narratives and the far right just ran on a platform of fearmongering about china to initiate a fascist takeover of the USA.

maybe we should be mindful of how we talk about China.

if you’re utilizing a service that pays subminimum wage conditional on tips making up the difference, then yes, it’s not rude. it’s straight up evil.

if you have a moral objection to tipping, then dont use services that pay workers subminimum wage

what’s today’s sdate?
