Water? You mean that stuff that goes in toilets?

After years of this sentiment being passed around online it’s clear that shit isn’t going to happen until we have a military draft/Vietnam War level incident. The pot is boiling too slowly for most of us to jump out. And even if we do try to organize a strike or civil disobedience, the government has gotten good at assasinating leaders that threaten the system.

Kinda feels like the site isn’t developing much at all tbh. I know mods have been asking for more tools for a while now

balderdash9 ,

I don’t understand. If a mod from memes.world bans me from a meme community, I can still comment on memes.world from another instance? Or are you saying just go to another community on another instance that has the same kind of content? Because if it’s the latter then Lemmy’s userbase number problem comes into play. Even popular subjects only have like one or two big communities.

People use what they know. Are there better (free) alternatives?

balderdash9 ,

Hmm, I’ll check it out, but my field passes around Word files quite often. Might be a tough sale if the user can’t find a workaround. Still, can’t be mad at free software.

Hey you, reading this right now. You just drank water didn’t you?

balderdash9 ,

There would be no religious wars, honor killings, more freedom, no religious leaders abusing their powers, no waste of labor and money on religious things, etc. It may seem that we would be more educated and have better understanding.

Removing the word religion from this excerpt wouldn’t remove any of these problems. We would still squabble over territory, resources, and ideological differences. To give a non-religious analogy: if a time traveler went back and killed Hitler, Germany would still retain all the problems from WW1 and the Weimar Republic that were ripe for a dictatorship.

balderdash9 OP ,

I mean when the downvotes get really bad, I just say fuck it lol

balderdash9 OP ,

Hey, these are the greentexts that Lemmy wants. People here downvote racist/xenophobic/sexist/homophobic/etc. posts. So, yes, this post is an innocuous dad joke. If you think you can do better, then post something yourself.

balderdash9 ,

What a joke that turned out to be

balderdash9 ,

Guess we’ll have to wait and see. If Biden stays in and young people don’t show up to vote, everyone will blame voters and not the DNC; even though the entire argument for Biden is his supposed electability.

We’re in such dangerous waters right now that we might as well throw caution to the wind and try to get a woman elected POTUS. At least that would energize the base.

Good domestic policy. Bad foreign policy. Or have we all collectively forgot about the wars?

Edit: You all were very loudly criticizing Biden on Israel a few weeks ago, but fine, I guess Lemmy has moved on.

balderdash9 ,

Shhh, don’t mention other countries. Nothing to see here, just keep listening to the establishment democrats telling us anything other than Biden is impossible. And then four years from now the fight for democracy will continue.

balderdash9 ,

Also good to note that the Constitution doesn’t mandate the Senate convict the president under any circumstance other than treason.

balderdash9 ,

Israel in particular, yes. Before the debate everyone was criticizing Biden for continuing to financially support a genocide.

But I guess nobody cares about Palestine now.

balderdash9 ,

Where dragons get slain and their hoards plundered.

This metaphor is apt because its a fantasy. The people have proven they aren’t going to do jack shit.

balderdash9 OP ,

To be fair, I hear US history education varies wildly by state. Thanks states rights!

balderdash9 OP ,

I get what you mean. But something about the fourth of July just brings it out of me

balderdash9 ,

Man, how do people even come up with this shit

balderdash9 , (edited )

The community seems split on this one lol. Makes me think that some of the people who subscribed to this community literally don’t know what a greentext is. Which is nothing new; I made this months ago:

Personally, it takes the fun out of creating OC because I like making edgier memes but there’s no community for it here. And even if something does make people laugh and get upvoted, the mods will take it down. (For example, I made a meme about a pregnant alcoholic mother and it got taken down. Like really? We can’t make abortion jokes?) So fuck it, I mainly just repost now. If you can’t beat em join em.

balderdash9 ,

Complaining about the rules is, ironically, against the rules. I found that out the hard way.

balderdash9 ,

I stopped posting to [email protected]. Try memes@lemmyworld

And republicans, the “Law and Order” party, will still vote for this man.

Seriously, why did OP post this two weeks ahead of time

balderdash9 ,

Yeah, my dad would disown me again if I sent him this
