Fuck. Don’t do this.
Twitter comments were never the basis for articles and mastodon comments aren’t either. (Exceptions would be official sources. I am bitching about random comments from 420biscuitFucker69 showing that social media is BLOWING UP about pointless issues, which make up about 80% of all embedded tweets.)
Kinda makes you wonder if the chiropractor made your situation worse.
But I did just discover the term vertebral subluxation: We don’t need to see it to know you have it, and we can fix it!
After all my days on Reddit and Lemmy, I am still amused by how conversations about female sex robots can somehow morph into a heated discussion about grammar or definitions.
Yes, and also maybe. I was growing some really good strains and they weren’t your average P.C.

All it took was one search to find plenty of contradictions to that post title.
But FREE browsing! How revolutionary.
I am an American, use Android and even wore a mask. Most of all, I would have no problems punching a Nazi.
Meh, freedom is just a buzzword that was brainwashed into us at a young age in school and stuff but hardly anyone actually knows what their rights actually are.
As far as phones are concerned, people use them because they look like they are built for children and they are supposedly easier to use. Even though I hate Apple, I can say that they did a decent job on their UI. It’s a local brand as well. The times I was in Germany, Mercedes and BMW were super common, from what I saw. (Why do all Germans drive those expensive things??? /s)
Also, please remember we have a ton of sub-cultutes, sub-sub-cultures, many dialects of American English and importantly, a massive amount of land. (Land is important, because more separation breeds major cultural differences.)
There are some places in this country where even I feel like an alien, and I am just an average white dude and I have lived in North Carolina, California, Florida and now Colorado. All of those states are vastly different, culturally.
Most of all, just because I am American, doesn’t make me like anyone else here, contrary to what .ml memes say. I am not my government, I dont eat McDonald’s 10x a day and I am not a fascist. (I do own a reasonable sized truck though. My wife does a ton of gardening work, so it’s logical.)
Don’t generalize people by their phones.
No, unfortunately. If I knew you and you were in Colorado, you would get some for free.
Oh, that was one of the prominent conservative posters and whatever it was, it was absolutely bigoted as fuck. If it wasn’t, it absolutely was something stupid.
Conservative politicians always need someone or something different to blame for made up reasons. While the right has historically berated LGBT, they will bring one specific issue or group into focus as another “issue” becomes boring.
They identify something as problem, tell people that the root of all of their problems is that something. If I blame my issues on something else and then tell people I am their savior and the only person that can fix that problem, I could end up looking like a hero when I do absolutely nothing about it.
Also, stupid people in large groups are easy to manipulate. If one or two people start getting mad about something, the whole group will latch on to that emotion. A couple of key words or chants are of use too! If you have ever seen a trump rally, he just says a few key words to piss people off (Mexicans, immigrants, tans, libruls, etc…) and whatever else he says after that is irrelevant.
Most importantly, the targets of hate need to be vulnerable but portrayed as extremely evil.
If you browse through conservative media, notice they rarely reference anything about policy or improving the lives of people. If they do, it’s directly tied to blaming others for a problem. (Left media can be just as bad, but are nowhere near the machine of bigotry that right media is.)
I could go on for a while, but you should get the idea.
Edit: Oh, if you dehumanize and generalize a group (‘the jews’, ‘the gays’, 'the whatever’s), anything you say or do is not perceived internally as racism or bigotry: It’s ‘acting in the best interests of your country’.
While I have blocked all the conservative communities here, just read through their posts one or twice. Almost all of their articles are hate politics. Honestly, I have blocked almost all political news on Lemmy since most of it is just re-hashed emotional trigger subjects.
whether the world as we perceive it exists independently or not, we cannot escape this perception.
I have several jars of mushrooms stashed away that absolutely can help escape that perception and several layers of perception after that. (Philosophical on that, Seth, Edinburgh Scotland!)
Are you real? Is… is anything real??

Chiropractic care can also cure COVID-19, it seems. (Fuck. The scams have no boundaries, do they.)
