Cheers! Night seagoon :)

Ah yep, that makes sense I suppose. Kinda weird though, it’s not like Lemmy has an algorithm it can use to learn what posts you don’t like. Probably easier to just block the community

I’m not going to post tomorrow’s DT, so if anybody else would like to, go for it

Oh, sorry if it came across like that, I’m not threatening myself at all. Or anybody else for that matter. And it isn’t a threat. Also not trying to play dumb, or do any “work-is-me bullshit”, though perhaps you should take some of your own advice one day. No need to be so aggressive all the time. Relax a little

And I’m not sure if you are actually out or not, but I am. I’m going to watch a movie. Adieu

Yeah, sorry CEO. Thanks for the advice (not sure if it’s really advice, but I’m not sure what else to call it. I do appreciate it, though). And it has indeed been a toasty one today

Well, if that’s how you feel, I can make sure there won’t be a repeat.

Though, I do wonder if you intentionally misunderstood my original comment, again, just for the sake of getting all uppity, as you’ve done so many times in the past 🤔

“so uhh, you gonna eat that bread?”

Or alternatively:

Seriously, I really like maggies

I can still express my opinion on matters. This place isn’t just your echo chamber, either. Diverse viewpoints aren’t something that needs to be removed, like you seem to think. I’ll have my opinions, as you, and everybody else does, too. You don’t need to like mine, as I don’t need to like yours

Everybody’s. Mine included.

Don’t know what you expect me to say 🤷‍♂️

No need to jump on the defensive again, seagoon. I was answering a question, not attacking your beliefs

I was referring to the contents. Too much America. Fair few down votes around.

Edit: but WTH, why are there two people down voting the DT now??

Meanwhile I grew up with a Collie, he used to always dream of little sheep. Good boy

Collies get my vote

Wow! I hadn’t seen that one coming. Still, I guess it makes sense. I’ve only ordered a couple of things from there, but it seems to be mostly random “marketplace” sellers on there, which makes it basically just low quality, Australian, Amazon

Most controversial DT in c/Melbourne history? Lol

I don’t care too much, but let’s get back to our usual more upbeat antics. I’ll start by sharing magpie:

It was staring at us while we were barbecuing on Sunday. Everybody was sure it was going to try and swoop some bread or a snag, but it just sat there, staring, for an uncomfortably long time. Felt a little bad ngl, but if I feel wildlife, I’d rather feed them something more nutritious than home brand white bread

Yeah, that’s a fair point, and probably the only group of people I do have some sympathy for. And the people being held in those illegal immigration detention centre things, I imagine they’ll have an even tougher time of it than they currently do

Gotta remember that people in the military are still people. They’re affected by his shit, too

All of their “training” does mean they would likely need to become considerably more pissed off in order to actually do anything, but it’s still a possibility at the end of the day

Also, with enough people, you can defeat anyone. 330m people in America, only 2 million of those are in the military. Maybe throw in another 2 million for police and secret service people. Seems easily doable

Honestly, I don’t really have much sympathy or pity for the vast majority of America at the moment. I do feel a bit bad for Mexico, Canada, and South America, I reckon they’ll have a pretty tough time of it, and Mexico is certainly going to be demonized at every turn for the next ~4 years at minimum. But as for the people within America, they did choose this. They had the option to vote for the other candidate without fear of persecution or reprisal. I’d certainly have pity if he just marched in, seized control of the country, and started executing his opponents

Also, after what seems like every American on the internet since the advent of the internet has taken every opportunity to bang their chest and yell about how great America is like some sort of political gorilla, I must admit I will be having a chuckle as their country degrades even further and all the idiots that either couldn’t be arsed going and voting, or actively voted for him begin to suffer more and more

(Plus, they’ve so staunchly defended their right to own firearms for so long now, it’s not like they’re defenseless lol. If half the bloody country owns a gun, I don’t see what some walls and a couple dozen people in suits are going to be able to do about a large scale rebellion 🤷‍♂️)

All good SC, I appreciate the advice anyway!

I’ve actually just noticed that they’ve marked my gas account as “(closed)”. I don’t really know what that means or why. They’ve issued my first gas bill, which I haven’t paid yet, but isn’t due for a few weeks, but it makes it sound like they’ve disconnected me, which I don’t see a reason for (and they also haven’t - I still have gas)

Anyway, hopefully I’ll find out what’s happening soon

I generally like laughing at it and saying “typical American”. That said, my Lemmy has been a lot nicer since I added these words to my third party apps blocklist:

And my third party app for reddit never actually stopped working. Something to do with being a mod apparently. So I just put the same words in over there and it’s a lot nicer!
