How is that breaking civility rules but your post right here is fine? lemmy.world/comment/10541760

fathog ,

I’m just saying this feels like a “who watches the watchmen” type of deal. You’re like the biggest power user on this website and I see you bickering with people in the comments of every post with more than 30 replies.

fathog ,

That’s kind of a poor response, no? You’re happy to contribute more written material than Stephen King on a good day but you don’t want to talk about your tendency to pick fights?

fathog ,

Damn, Jim, have you ever seen such bad taste out there in the wild?

fathog ,

“I like the radio hits” is very arguably bad taste

But yes Nazis are bad

fathog ,

Yep. Bombing down the PCH sure ruins my nights. The canyons suuuure aren’t fun to blow through either. I’d much rather live somewhere ugly and flat with no culture

fathog , (edited )

If a wind turbine is bombed, it’s not a hazard for thousands of years. Given humanity’s need to kill each other, nuclear plants are a time bomb

They hated him because he told them the truth

fathog ,

Lots of beliefs are offensive. For example, Sandy Hook deniers.

As opposed to the article, which is clearly unbiased?

forbes.com/…/tiktok-bytedance-surveillance-americ…

If you just read the wiki article you linked as well, there is circumstantial evidence you’re just ignoring.

There’s another version of Spiders? I was a fanatic for the first book in high school, I had no idea

fathog ,

Well, if you ever do, let me know 😉

fathog ,

That’s a super interesting perspective on this stuff. Sorry you’re going through that internet brother - I hope you can communicate to your dad that he’s loved the way he is. Definitely seems to be true

fathog ,

That article is a ride. All sweet stuff until

The twins prospered and moved to Surry County, where they came to own more than one thousand acres of land and twenty-eight enslaved people.

Wild

fathog ,

wild take, feels very brain worm inspired

They don’t want to protect us bro. That’s why everyone hates the LAPD. Imagine being the victim of a crime and being laughed out of the station. Or getting robbed, and waiting 45 minutes for someone who literally doesn’t give a shit to show up.

Also, as someone pointed out, the only thing they do about gangs is form their own.

fathog ,

Fuck, man. DBZ was a huge part of my childhood. Toriyama is a legend.

fathog ,

You’re not even wrong on 3/4 but explain to me how going vegan is a stand against discrimination? I stop eating eggs and systemic racism is defeated??

fathog ,

Yeah, that’s a bit of a reach - not like immigrants aren’t brutally exploited on vegetable farms either or anything

fathog ,

Am I an idiot, or does the article literally not once mention LA? I see SF, San Jose, Oakland, but no southern California….

fathog ,

Randy is such a piece of shit it’s wild

Just don’t eat out if you don’t want to tip. Tipping culture is fucked but servers are just as victimized as customers.

fathog ,

Bro is an idiot without an ounce of empathy who has clearly never had to work a service job a day in their lives. I’m with you ms docrime

fathog ,

If you’re going out to eat and not tipping, I truly don’t believe you have worked at a food service job. Full stop.

Tipping is a construct of capitalism that allows owners to shunt the burden of paying their workers to the customer. Yes, it’s fucked. This does not change the fact that if a server waits on your bum ass for an hour, and you don’t tip, they probably made about $3 while serving you. It’s basic human respect to compensate someone for that - and while it’s fucked that the burden falls on you, that’s the name of the game in America.

Don’t go out to eat if you don’t want to tip.

fathog ,

Bro you’re straight up just lying. It’s so clear that you have no idea what being a server is like, because believe it or not, you do actually make pretty decent money (a hell of a lot more than working the check stand at a grocery store). This is part of the discussion that is actually worth having, because similar to nurses who don’t want universal health care, there are a lot of people in the service industry who like the tipping system.

Sure, here’s how “the rest of the civilized world works”: people pay their fucking employees. America is broken.

Your limp dick protest does nothing except hurt employees. The owners still make the exact same amount from you, and the lower class gets fucked.

Since you seem to have reading comprehension issues, let me make this clear:

  • I do not support tipping
  • Not tipping is taking it out on the person who’s vulnerable
  • Therefore, if I don’t feel like tipping, I do not go out

It’s not working, the wage divide is getting larger, and you’re a heartless idiot who very likely is eating a lot of spit. Because, as you should know since you “worked service”, people talk and know if a customer is going to stiff them.

fathog ,

Why does everybody forget the rape allegations that he didn’t stand trial for?

fathog ,

Wow, this is super cool - saving this for when I finally spruce up my old desktop for a home server. You’re a talented person mate

fathog ,

Anybody who doesn’t like the rape apologist supports Trump 😭😭😭

Everyone seems to hate Clarence Thomas but doesn’t seem to remember Biden grilling Anita Hill.

It’s almost like the guy above you is complaining that we had many better options during the 2020 primary, but people like you voted for a dogshit candidate that is literally losing in the polls to an overt fascist.

So when democracy is gone, I personally will blame people who saw how much a threat Trump was and thought fucking Joe Biden was the best choice.

fathog ,

Never ask a Biden supporter why Buttigieg is Secretary of Transportation

fathog ,

That’s fucking awesome. Stoked for you!

fathog ,

As far as I can tell, the lawsuit is still ongoing? This is the most recent court document I could find, but it’s more than a year old: vermontjudiciary.org/…/bombard v riggen mello 21-…

Very interested to see how much the taxpayers have to pay for another cop abusing his power

Easy to throw stones in 2023. That seems horrid now, of course, but homosexuality was literally criminalized in the UK in the 60s - the same time period where they had a gay manager. Look into the sexual tension/love affair between Epstein (Brian, not Jeffrey) and Lennon. Dude was genuinely progressive for the times (over half a fucking century ago, y’all) and to shape that as bigotry is borderline misinformation.

Rag on him for beating his wife, not this silly shit

Edit: here’s some actual context about this notorious “bigot”. faroutmagazine.co.uk/john-lennon-the-beatles-song…

fathog ,

I’m not saying “oh, it was the 70s, fag meant something else” (even though that’s true - 60 years have gone by!). I’m saying that taking that comment out of context and labeling the guy as a bigot is some 2023 shit. Lennon was, by his own admission, bisexual - and it’s entirely possible that he actually hooked up with Epstein (and Elton John, later on).

I’m not defending the comment, to be clear. It’s quite nasty. But using that to label him as a homophobe/bigot is an absurd reach.

He was an asshole fwiw, and the domestic/child abuse is completely inexcusable. But for fucks sake, he was probably referring to hippies with that comment.

And honestly, it is important to view things in historical context. Being supportive of an quasi-openly gay person (and letting them manage your career!) when it was criminal takes balls, and that’s not something that should be erased because of one nasty quote.

fathog ,

Or maybe that slur really did carry less weight for an Englishman in 1971? Here’s the quote you referenced:

Let me ask you about something else that was in the Hunter Davies book. At one point it said you and Brian Epstein went off to Spain.

Yes. We didn’t have an affair though. Fuck knows what was said. I was pretty close to Brian. If somebody is going to manage me, I want to know them inside out. He told me he was a fag.

I hate the way Allen is attacked and Brian is made out to be an angel just because he’s dead. He wasn’t, you know, he was just a guy.

I read the entire interview. There’s nothing in there condemning being gay, or even really any commentary on sexuality. He says a slur a few times! In 1971! There’s also a huge chunk of the interview where he talks about supporting civil rights, which you’re not talking about for some reason.

Your comments makes it sound like he’s hand in hand with Reagan 10 years later, when it’s honestly less offensive than a lot of shit that’s been said this decade by politicians and Christians worldwide.

I doubt I can change your mind, since you seem pretty set on this point. But I’m curious: Elton John didn’t come out as gay until the 90s. If he was killed in 1980, would you be calling him a bigot too?

fathog ,

Having sympathy for Vietnam vets is the same thing, except culturally acceptable for Americans. You can root for Russia to lose and also mourn the lives lost in a war that civilians were forced to participate in.

Dumb mods!

fathog ,

I’m voting for the geezer in 2024, but let’s be real - Dems will never give us a better option. Biden is genuinely a pretty good president comparatively (imo), but real change will not come from either mainstream party. Don’t forget what they did to Bernie in 2020, or why Buttigieg is the Secretary of Transportation. (They’re the same)

fathog ,

That’s really funny and I’m pretty sure the guy who made Alien has the right to be a bit of a cunt to critics if he wants

TABOO

Every single Onewheel is being recalled after four deaths (www.theverge.com)

Future Motion, the maker of the Onewheel electric skateboard, is recalling every one of them, including 300,000 Onewheel self-balancing vehicles in the US. Alongside the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the company now seeks to remedy the products after four known death cases — three without a helmet — between...

fathog ,

You shouldn’t be so rude when you’re just dead wrong

fathog ,

nah leave it was a fun read

fathog ,

Ah yes, nobody talks about the daily news of someone killing dozens of people with knives, old tools, and/or cars! We should absolutely not worry about guns while these clearly significantly more dangerous weapons are allowed to proliferate so easily!

fathog ,

Yeah sure I’ll drive my fucking gun to work

fathog ,

Right now I’m checking out Bill Callahan’s YTILAER because of you @ren - but if anyone wants a recommendation, I’ve been completely obsessed with John Grant’s album Queen Of Denmark. Phenomenal stuff - check out the title track or Sigourney Weaver.
