  • No. I would say that “this is all because” I made an innocuous (and purposely bad) joke about sentient cookies in response to that.

    That really seemed to set you off for some reason. So then it was off to the races, one bad (but completely neutral) joke after another and each time you got seemingly more and more upset… Which I found hilarious in a meta sort of way.

    Anyway, it doesn’t matter, it’s all here in the open to see. Not that literally anyone else on the planet should waste the brain cells reading it.

    And here I am doing what I said I wouldn’t. It would be nice if Lemmy had that option like reddit where you can disable inbox replies so I don’t have to see your befuddled questions…






  • It’s fine if you don’t get it… as we all know jokes become funnier the more you explain them…

    But maybe I was intending to show my complete ambivalence toward you and the original topic of this comment thread by continuing with obviously awful, anti-jokes that were related to your comment, but not to the actual content of the comment? To refuse to engage with anything you said, and instead choosing to make the dumbest, most annoying jokes ever in the hopes that you’d just go the fuck away. You’d think most people would get the hint and just ignore it.

    And then when it clearly triggered you very quickly, and the ad hominems started flying… I knew that I had to continue.

    You made yourself a mark when you thought my “jokes” were being told in earnest, but you showed everyone who you really were when you almost immediately resorted to personal attacks.










  • The religious lawsuit is kind of bullshit,

    Would it be bullshit if this were about Christian inmates being denied the ability to receive communion? Or if they were forcing Muslim or Jewish inmates to break halal and kosher respectively by making them eat certain things?

    Remind me what the First Amendment is about again?

    Also, quick google search found this SCOTUS case from 2005 that seems pretty cut and dry regarding this type of thing: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna8047388

    Indulge me for a moment, and read the first paragraph of this article:

    The Supreme Court sided Tuesday with an unusual alliance of the Bush administration, liberal activists and conservative religious groups, agreeing that state prisons must accommodate the beliefs of witches, Satanists and other followers of non-mainstream religions.

    Can you imagine reading that amidst the Satanic Panic 2.0 we’ve been experiencing these past few years? LOL. They would completely ignore the implications that the case would have on their beliefs, knowing full well that the rules would continue to be applied selectively. That way they’re “hurting the right people.”

    Any conservatives who were of voting age back then: would love to see you actually reckon with this. I mean, you won’t, but it would be nice.

    The religious lawsuit is kind of bullshit,






  • I am far from a Taylor Swift fan, but this comment seems pretty clueless. How do you know she doesn’t have plans to give away most of it? She seems like the type of person that would. She’s also like 34 years old, so maybe give it a few years?

    There are no billionaires who became such ethically… But I’m struggling to think of any that did it in a more ethical way than Swift. Especially after literally re-recording her entire catalogue to get around scummy capitalists that tried to unduly profit from her talent.
