Unalive is the replacement for dead.

I remember learning about this and not giving a fuck. I vote stuff on occasion, but generally don’t vote or care about the votes on my comment.

Let them self censor. It’s their comment.

I’d personally prefer to see special characters than word replacement like “unalive”

Like a foreign language.

That’s a fair assessment.

I think insults can be justified if the other person is brain dead and you are still attacking the argument.

More specifically this is Lemmy. If we don’t have morons arguing with the dumbest logic possible, something is wrong.

I tried to watch Discovery. Forced myself through season one and only could manage a few episodes in season two.

The writing is just so bad, I can’t handle it. This coming from someone that regularly rewatches older Trek and DOESN’T SKIP the few awful episodes.

This guy is not the OP.

Not really a theory, when it’s been proven true. Many retirees are moving to low CoL areas because their social security and or retirement funds can’t keep up. Lower income people will move if they are able to.

There are jobs that pop up in these areas, but on average the income is significantly less. For example Tennessee will pay new grad nurses $22 an hour. That’s one of the lowest wages for a bedside nurse. Not enough to live in the city where a hospital is located. I think it was Alabama that passed a state law that prohibited cities from raising the minimum wage for jobs in the city. Jobs in most of these areas pay poverty wages.

I used to live in Florida and when looking at the average the CoL is lower than my new state Oregon. Yet after moving and living here for a year I pay less on car and home insurance, property taxes, and no sales tax. Sure I might pay a tiny bit more in income tax but my salary is 30% higher for the same job. My wife’s is 45% higher for the same job.

Not to mention “average” means nothing when rural hick areas are lowering the entire state. Many parts of Florida have a higher cost than most other cities.

Credit cards don’t have pin numbers. And a debit card can be charged as a credit card.

Like Bob Ross, just a happy accident.

But what if you kill them with kindness?

I understand. But you also can’t read one sentence about me and describe it as lucky. I had shitty abusive parents. I worked my way through college so it took a little longer. Struggled financially at times. Have lived with suicidal tendencies since my parents divorced when I was 12 and became even more shitty and abusive.

I’m only successful because of myself and the work I’ve put into my life to be where I am today. To me having a role model wouldn’t have done or changed anything. I get that others might need it, but I don’t think every straight white male in America needs a role model and is doomed to be a conservative just because they can’t find one.

There are plenty of straight white males that are progressive or liberal. The ones that are conservative aren’t that way just because of a shitty role model. Many are shitty in plenty of other ways.

Why do we need a role model anyway? I’m a straight white married male with no kids and very progressive. I don’t need a role model to not be a piece of shit.

Custom Truly chair.

If there is, I’ve definitely seen some “trans-dumbasses” as well as “cis-dumbasses”

The US population is about 340 million. So we would need 11.9 million to protest.

I created an account two years ago, but was using boost and it kept working up until a few months ago. The combination of Boost not working and Nazis taking over Reddit so even the desktop old reddit was pointless to use.

Now I use Boost for Lemmy for mobile.

I’ve definitely seen fat police officers in other countries.
