You make an excellent point about the fediverse with which I wholeheartedly agree, but the point still stands that OP’s experience on lemmy.world in this particular situation was a result of their own unnecessary aggression towards someone asking a sincere question, not because it’s a “queerphobic shithole.”

Not at all. You were just being a gaping asshole over there.

Evidence that marginalized individuals are just as capable of asshol-ish behavior as the majority.

You’re enabling your boss’ bad behavior. At some point it stops being their fault.

I too enjoy going off my meds for the weekend.

And Dr Ruth. That lady was such a charming little horn dog.

Those song titles collectively sing “I’m still a stalker.”

Woooow…

One of my favorites - I’m crossing the street as a pedestrian, a car waiting to turn is waiting for me to get across, and everyone behind them (who still have a clear view of me) are honking at them for not going.

The more they honk, the slower I walk.

Is that what you appreciate about me, Squirrely Dan?

Other sources were already posted in the comments showing that “redneck” referring to farmers predates its usage to refer to coal miners/communists. Definitely agree there’s a lot of stuff conveniently left out of our history books, though.

Right? I don’t think anyone ever even told me that was the origin, it just sort of made sense intuitively.

The rules for how they’re supposed to work sound simple enough on paper. Unfortunately a lot of us in the US have poor reading comprehension skills.

How to properly go through a four-way stop.

I work from home using a work provided laptop. One day my partner at the time was working on setting up a Kali machine, and every time they connected to the network my work laptop would cease all network communication. Guess whatever security software/settings my work laptop had was made very nervous by a Kali machine on the same network.

Was about to ask what one does with dual Titan Xs, but the obvious answer is whatever the hell one wants.

I host a handful of Internet facing sites/applications from my NAS and have had no issues. Just make sure you know how to configure your firewall correctly and you’ll be fine.

One of these guys walked up and gave me a handful of birdseed, prompting a flock of pigeons to come perch on my arms. I most certainly did not hand over the money they wanted for the experience I didn’t ask for and was somewhat disgusted by.

Little bitty Mega-Bitch!

Are those roots fair game? I feel like a princess could have those taken care of.
