Oh fuck, I recognise like… Four things here? I’m old.

What’s the buckle my shoe thing? That’s a really old song, no?

What’s brainrot girlfriend?

Personally, I block people who espouse things I believe are genuinely spiteful, hateful, or shitty. Generally, I use the block button to “curate” my experience with the intention that I can use Lemmy as brief escapism when I’m in the bathroom or on the train without having my mood affected by somebody posting something shitty.

I don’t block anyone for normal disagreements, because I’m a relatively normal adult and as such that sort of thing doesn’t bother me.

Man you are wound up so tight

Mate I’m not gonna comment on anything else you’ve said, but it’s very funny to see you immediately whine about an “ad hominem” given your other very personal insults and aggressive tone in other comments in this larger thread lol, it’s like… Grow a pair and insult people, or whinge about being insulted. Don’t do both 😂

Solves both problems really

Do you think it’s cos the police are scared of the people who can actually fight? Four bobbies to a granny but not one brave enough to face up to somebody their own size?

Weren’t the right already like… Kidnapping people off the streets? Murdering people in their homes? Wait, weren’t two democratic (ostensibly “left” to these commentators) politicians murdered earlier this year?

Didn’t a bunch of right wingers try to overthrow the US government in a globally watched coup attempt YEARS AGO???

It’s a “war” NOW? Why???

I get the vibe that you’re very young. And feminine, but probably amab (unsure of how you identify).

Ah, rough. Groceries can be wildly expensive.

Wait, what’s your weekly grocery bill just for you?

I was about to say Reform UK is not welcome in the UK but unfortunately I think I’m wrong about that

third ball

Good for me? What do you mean? I don’t watch him. I’m not a big Ramsay fan.

Oh right. I thought as much but hadn’t seen fash-fash before so wasn’t sure if it was a new thing haha

What’s a fash-fash?

Yes, it’s American, so it’s fake and loud and amped up to a billion. It’s not nice to watch. Ramsay has actually apologised and reflected on his part in shaping kitchen culture negatively through those shows.

And that is because they get their vast, innumerable sums of digital money from world governments! Human people are allowing an advertising and surveillance tool to Wormtongue its way into their heads and their lives because it breathlessly encourages and agrees with everything they think.

I just don’t believe that our perceptions and ability to handle enthusiastic sycophantic agreement is evolved enough yet to combat something like this. I could see it being intoxicating to anyone for everything they say to be agreed with, confirmed, and called genius. I don’t necessarily blame the people falling for it (though I do think adults who fall for it are a bit sad and need to grow up a bit), but it’s definitely going to be massively convenient for governments to have their citizens just voice everything they’re thinking.

Sort of like Minority Report but everybody says their own future crimes outright to a little robot butler instead.

Wow very clever way to get around calling someone a slur genius
