      They get told what to feel every night on the Fox Lies channel, they hardly need the projection. Don’t worry, Daddy Tucker will command you, just do what you’re told, like a big strong man.

        Anyone still using twitter should be considered far right,

        Changing platforms can be a death sentence for an entrenched artist. Also, Threads is a miserable experience, Mastodon’s decentralized nature makes it confusing to navigate (especially for the olds), and BlueSky simply doesn’t have enough content to engage people at the same level.

        It’s ironic, but a big chunk of the trans community is effectively stranded on Twitter purely thanks to decision paralysis. They all want to leave but nobody has enough sway to send them in the same direction.

        Maybe if Elon can get himself banned in a few more countries. BlueSky got 3 million brazilian new users practically overnight last week.

            Same reason as everybody else: because everybody else is still there. I’m almost alone on my Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, and Tumblr.

            Almost no one has ethical ownership as a priority when picking a social media, the deciding factor is always who else is on there. Weirdos like you and me are way ahead of the adoption curve.

            I believe that fediverse platforms are superior, they’re more structurally resilient and they will outlive Twitter and Reddit and all corporate social media; but that’s a bet on the long run.

          Apparently lol. I think daniskarma is just looking for a public stoning. Obviously the vast majority of Xitter users are not there to engage in US politics and be placed on the political spectrum.

          This is what happens when people circlejerk too much, they make insincere claims like that and get updoots. They’ve trained themselves to lash out at anyone.and.anything they don’t like. Hell, I bet you’re getting shit for using Xitter.in other replies… Edit: Yuuuup!

        It’s going to be so cool to see reactionaries lose their shit, while they struggle to decide if she’s too black, too woman, or not enough of each.

        I fully expect next year is the year we see conservative politicians start using the N-word openly again.

    It’s actually wild how insecure people get over the subject of veganism. I still browse Facebook as a lifeline back to my friends and family back home, and for some reason my algorithm serves me up pro-meat posts jam packed full of rednecks losing their minds over vegans and making piles of meat and juice their personality. I eat meat myself (albeit in very small quantities compared to before) and I just don’t get the insecurity.

    Maybe it’s being married to a lifelong vegetarian that helps, but man, I’ve honestly come to enjoy a lot of meat alternatives. Beyond Burgers/Sausages are great. IKEA’s plant-based balls are too (their veggie balls still suck ass and just taste like bell peppers). Gardein’s supreme chick’n nuggets/fillets and 7-grain tenders are also delicious.

    Shit has really come a long way and it’s gotten to where larger portions of meat actually rip my intestines apart and give me disgusting bouts of gas and bloating. Basically just down to the occasional fast food burger, chicken quesadillas and seafood. Meat is still really tasty, but the vegans are right. At this point we’re just eating it because it tastes good. The longer I go without relying on it, the more fucked up the entire industry becomes to me.

        Veggie ball is full of pieces of corn, bell pepper, onion, etc. It’s colorful inside and out. Tastes heavily of those things too. The plant-based ball resembles a brown meatball in both appearance and consistency, but made entirely with plant-based ingredients. They’re awesome on a bun with marinara and mozzarella.

        Don’t know about Ikea, but when I see this distinction it is usually because the item is made of specific vegetables, where as the plant-based is usually textured vegetable protein.

      Johns problem is generally that he’s insecure and needs a scape goat because he can’t accept responsibility for his fuck ups.

      So he picks a few minorities to target so he doesn’t need to acknowledge that he fucked around too much in high school or did too many drugs.

      He doesn’t even need to be a majority, because there will always be someone else to blame

          hello, I’m a vegan, I try not to annoy people because I know we’re all going through a lot of shit, but since you asked, you should know: the level of suffering caused by the animal agriculture industry is so extreme and horrific. Like, think of the worst torture imaginable, and it’s worse. And they subject thinking, feeling beings to that. Think about how angry you would feel if you saw someone abusing a dog. Now imagine that on a global, mass-production scale.

          The problem is that human brain is really good at protecting itself from having to deal with the mental anguish of knowing that you’re responsible for suffering, so you’ll come up with any number of reasons to excuse your behaviour - it’s natural, it’s the circle of life, etc. etc. but that’s all just excuses. You let other living being suffer so badly because you like how they taste, and you can either accept that fact or you can change.

              Yeah that’s one of those excuses I was talking about. Everyone always consumes animal products from their uncle’s farm. They never, ever buy animal products from the store, or from a restaurant, or fast food, or whatever. Nope. All the animal products you consume are 100% from your uncle’s farm and they’re all mega happy, and you know them all by name!

              lol

          Trans: e.g. because a lot of people, including people like Elon musk, lose their shit when presented to the idea that if trans-people are trans, that he, as an non-trans-person, is the opposite of trans which is cis.

              Okay, you might actually don’t understand, musk owns one of the biggest social media and musk stated that on the platform the word “cis” is considered a slur. Now you might think what does that have to do with trans people if he is against the word “cis”. Well his daughter is trans-gender and musk insist that the woke mob killed his son as he refuses to acknowledge his daughter. His daughter doesn’t want any relation at all with her father. He keeps deadnaming her. So it is fair to assume the he isn’t very supportive of his daughter. So to sum it up, he is so against trans that the idea of being cis (so the opposite of trans) is too much of an acknowledgement of transgender people.

              So why does he matter? Like I said, owner of X, Restricting the speech of many people because of he is too sensitive to handle cis due to his fear(?)/disgust(?) for trans.

              So trans people are faced with the reality that some of the most powerful people on the planet are so much of a fucking snowflake and so much against their existence that even “cis” is a problem for them.

              That is a good reason to be “annoying” by protest and ridicule these people.

              Now musk is only one person but it isn’t particularly difficult to find many many more.

          I probably should have written padel/pickleball. It’s similar to padel tennis but with a hollow ball, it’s been gaining traction at a crazy pace in the US and slowly making it into Europe. It’s been slowly taking over padel, which used to be The Sport for office workers who want to make sure they’re practising a sport, want to make sure they can tell you they’re practising a sport, but they don’t want something that will get their heart past 130 BPM.

          No hate though - if it gets people doing a sport it’s a good thing. Just don’t tell me every day that pickleball is the best, we need to play pickleball, when are we going to join you for the pickleball match, you need to play pickleball because the CTO of this other company is coming so therefore it’s work - this has actually happened to me, etc.

          Padel crew are a bit less vocal, but not by much. I feel this is a bit country-specific. When I lived in Spain, padel was the rage, and in the US it was pickleball. In the UK I don’t see much of either.

      I’ve spoken with plenty of feminists, vegans, some trans people, and several right wing constitutionalists or other right wing identity. Almost every vegan I’ve talked to in RL was very pleasant and I had to know them a while or go to lunch with them to even find out they’re vegan. Trans I’ve never had a problem with, and occasionally reminded me their preferred pronouns in a very polite way (actually our mutual friends usually did instead). Feminists I’ve only found TERFs annoying.

      However the constitutionalist? I got in arguments with him about stuff like whether people should be liable for animal abuse (he claimed animals don’t have a soul so no punishment should come from harming them). He also acted like women were too emotional, but every time we got into a discussion with something he didn’t like he would be nearly yelling. If asked to be calm he’d angry claim not to be logical, not angry/emotional. He was the one we had to walk on eggshells around, while also being the main person doing “wife bad” or other misogynistic jokes.

      While that’s one example, I’ve met many others who like to be mean then retreat to “just joking” or “That’s how I grew up”, while the people you claim are more annoying are more likely to adjust to the feelings or likes or dislikes of the person they’re talking with.

        So, you’ve talked to a few people, and now group a is better than group b?

        Not only is it a ridiculous implication, but you’re somehow grouping up the beforementioned as if they’re not all individuals, who no doubt each have the capability to be extremely annoying.

        You then juxtapose this against the right wing/constitutionalists, but why? Why does everything devolve into left vs right? You think all the gay and trans people are automatically left leaning? You’re invalidating the existence of quite a few people just to make a bad argument.
