That’s just because their parents didn’t teach them to value energy conservation.

Nah I still don’t get it. If wanting to make people laugh was enough, then SNL would be funny. Clearly there’s some other reason.

No way! Criticising the power tripping asshole will get me power tripped?

We got the shitty power mods down though

Looking at you Dessalines, JordanLund, FlyingSquid, DraconicNEO

Last time I saw this joke, comics weren’t on the list. We did it Reddit!

I’ve heard it feels more like sucking a dick than like getting your dick sucked

Lemmy also tends towards misogyny and truscum attitudes moreso than Reddit. There are great instances like blahaj or zip where that’s not the case, but on Lemmy it’s not feasible to only view posts on subscribed communities, while on Reddit it is. And that means it’s easier to build a progressive feed on Reddit.

Also one of the Lemmy lead devs is transphobic.

I smell AI

So you’re saying autism and narcissism (autism spectrum disorder and narcissistic personality disorder) are similar enough that you are certain you can relate to the struggles of people with NPD and you know they shouldn’t be concerned about having a slur used?

Suppose someone who hated Elon Musk called him a nasty word like “emotionless autist” or “robot sperg”, as examples of anti-autism slurs based on shortening the name of the diagnosis. I think this would be the same as calling your parents the slur you used. If you can honestly say you’d be completely fine having an anti-autism slur used on a bad person, then I’ll accept your use of an anti-narcissism slur on bad people. But if you think one of those two very similar situations would be ableist and would hurt disabled people, then please accept that they’re both ableist and they both hurt disabled people.

In 1979, a historian named Christopher Lasch, who had no psychiatric credentials, wrote a book arguing that modern American culture was increasing the prevalence of a particular psychiatric disorder in the general population.

The book gained a lot of cultural traction, especially among people who call themselves pop psychologists, but whose actual job is writing scam self-help books. They started using this disorder in their books as a bogeyman. They said people with this disorder are living among us, stealing our energy and resources and making us weak. Basically just a reskinned version of the antisemitic conspiracy theory.

These narratives became so popular that people started using the slur for a person who has the disorder without even knowing they were talking about a disorder. They thought it was just a word for a certain kind of bad person. Like how kids in the 90s used the R word.

You heard that word and didn’t realise it was a slur, and you used it to describe your parents.

The word is “n*rcisisst”

Are you using that word as an ableist slur or as a reference to that Greek kid who was killed for being asexual?

Because he’s a fascist, and fascists are more likely to have homoerotic fetishes than be gay.

Being gay is a sexuality. What Trump has is a homoerotic fetish.

him or her

Just say them

You want to be intimate with her or not?

No, not really. I’m asexual. I don’t want to do anything with her, I just think she looks nice. Being friends with her would be nice, I guess, but not if I’m going to make her uncomfortable.

The lyric from dress is about a dress. But if the lyric from wood is about wood, then that’s one long fucking dick

Blaming other people doesn’t make your guilt go away. What I’m hearing is that you and Biden both helped Trump win. Why would you work alongside Biden to set up a fascist regime? That’s horrible!

Ladies please, you’re both right. The Rs get to pick who votes and the voters pick the president. Either one could have avoided this. This happened because you both fucked up.

We fucking tried telling everyone Biden wasn’t good enough

What did you do that for!? I would have liked him better than Trump! It’s your fault we didn’t get him!

What about economic systems that don’t use money? I bet those are immune to money flowing to the top
