They get so used to walking around in IRL getting to flex the accepted "moral" high ground. that they forget online people may be more disagreeable.

When I first got on lemmy I joined lemmy.ml because 90% of what I used reddit for was for technology subs. ml is clearly a not about tech if you spend three minutes there and your better going to lemmy.world

Yes I use graphine OS on a Google pixel and have nearly all FOSS apps. The few apps I can't get FOSS I cut off network access to. (Alwsome graphine OS feature)

On my home computer I use uBlock, sponserblock, and I have a piehole running.

My ethics on this mimic that of modern multiplayer games. Games make a much larger amount of money praying those willing to dump hundreds into cosmetic items so now the game is free for me. Eg. leage, overwatch, apex, halo etc. . .

I see other distributed content in this same way. If someone love a content creator so much that they will drop money on merch, or patron good for them. They make up the majority of the money the content creator makes anyway so I don't really lose sleep over it.

Literally this.

There was only one guy posting in The Donald.

Sh.itjust.works is overwhelmingly left leaning and is devoid of any conservative discord better yet any nazi content.

If it takes one person speaking out of line to get defederated then we've lost the point of why to have a federated system in the first place.

If we start losing our heads whenever someone says something then you negate the 10,000 other post and comments that are made about hobbies, interest, & questions that are helping people.

4chan will remain a back bone of the internet because they keep this at there core. When people hear 4chan they think /pol/ but they forget all the other boards that are on the site. If lemmy doesn't want to get drowned out in a sea of "what could of been" alternatives then we have to be what reddit wasn't.

Bump for sure.

I have kids and I really want to polish up jellyfin server to have more content and use an upscaler as well for some of the better cartoons.

Ive always loved ales and scotches as well. I recently just finished off a Speyside (Glenfiddich) the otherday with some friends. however we have been stuck on Islay region scotches for a while. I had a friend get me into gin recently as well. Especially traditional gin martinis. A recommend would be Aviation gin from Portland. Ryan Reynolds owns it so that is a plus or a minus depending on who you talk to but it actually is very smooth for a gin.

You are right though we really could use a good classy drinking channel.

Ok you dropped a lot there. Let's dissect this

  • about my kids seeing people in drag. I'm gonna refer you back to my furry comment.

  • trans people dont touch kids. It's easy to put those words in my mouth but I never claimed or implied that. My issue lies more with a new culture in western society that overtly promotes trans ideology when much of society doesn't believe this. There's issues not just with conservatives but with feminist who don't like men winning woman of the Year and being the face of woman hood. A biological male shouldn't be the face for real women that are going though a huge fight in this country currently over there rights with there bodys. As well in left leaning ideology there is a concept of intersectionality that tells us it's ok if other cultures & countys don't identify with western ideas of LGBTQ beliefs because the west shouldn't practice imperial practices of enforcing our ways on others. However, this concept that culture is maliuble and not set in stone would apply to those in this county as well.

  • churches and molestation. 2 wrongs don't make a right. People duality of blaming others for sexual misconduct without first cleaning up there own back yard is ironic at best. I'll deffiemtly agree with you on this point.

  • i threw out a satirical response of you being a right wing bigot because you told me to go fuck my self. You your are not going to be respectful nether will I. Seething over your presumed ideas of me is the definition of ignorance. You are angry about people preciving trans people in a wrongful light with villainous stereotypes but if you do that to others then you embodying the very ideas you hate.

  • furries So someone cannot identify as a dog? Why? Someone can take estergon and get surgery to fit there precived sex why can that be done for a species? Dressing in a dog costume and dressing in drag different why? Because societies definition of what "proper clothing" should look like. How many kids spend there days pretending to be a cat, dinosaur, dog, etc... And are told no there a human. If we did that with someone about there gender they would be reprimanded for this but when it comes to identity of species or even more controversially, race? How does that differ from a different identity in gender? Call furries identities a "fucking joke" then tell me why because it sound quite hypocritical.

It actually is heavily inspired off of the everbook system. However I don't do a lot of the bullet journallying parts. I keep calanders more than to do lists.

As for handling the pages I put them in folders besed on what they are under. One of these days I want to bind my journals into a books.

Drinking journal is fun. Everytime I have a new entry I put a drop of what I'm drinking on the page. The thick cotton pages hold water well and drive fast. Theres a lot of complexities to the flavors when homebrewing so it's helpful to document whatever I can.
