Some people just have hate in their hearts and they will use any physical differences to lump people together.

Being skeptical of people looking different from you used to serve a purpose in our history. It no longer does but the bias can still be found in our biology. It’s not that some “just are hateful people” - it’s that they’re human.

I basically see it as racism every time someone is treated differently because of the color of their skin. There’s racism with bad intentions and racism with good intentions but it’s all still racism. In my ideal world we’d care about skin color as much as we care about hair color now. Most of the attempts to “fix” racism by paying more attention to the ethnicity of people that’s been coming from the left over the past years has just maken things worse and is one of the big reasons for Trump as well.

Why is your boyfriend’s dad’s PC in your room (or your’s in his?)

The water in a floor heating system is around 30 degrees celcius so it’s not warm enough for you to necessarily be able to tell by feel. However bathroom would be the first room I’d imagine them including it on and the fact that there’s a normal radiator there leads me to believe it’s probably not floor heating. Ceiling heating is a thing too but quite uncommon.

I’m never on my phone at home except for when sitting on the toilet. 99% of my internet use is either YouTube, Porn or Lemmy and all three are done better on a desktop/laptop. My phone is for podcasts, texting/calls and photography.

Content filters are your friend here. It’s the only way of making social media barely tolerable. You just need to keep updating it constantly as next week there’s going to be a new “existential crisis” that nobody can shut up about. Here’s a list of keywords to clean up your Lemmy feed by quite a bit if you’re interested:

united, ceo, c.e.o., brian thompson, health exec, luigi, uhc, rednote, trump, elon, musk, nazi, fascis, israel, idf, ice, dei, palestin, gaza, project 2025, deport, kirsti, deepseek, rfk, billionair, republican, far right, far-right, maga, DEI, ‘DEI’, doge, LGBT, pronoun, trans, gulf, christian right, nancy mace, abortion, immigrat, gop, migrant, x, measles, pedo, transgender, queer

Intentions, of course, since they indicate how someone is likely to behave in the future. Even if you end up causing harm while intending to do good, that doesn’t lead me to expect you’ll continue causing harm. But the opposite is true if your intention was to cause harm. This holds true even if no actual harm was done - the fact that someone intended harm says a lot about them.

Why? If it’s a human, imagine how much time and effort they wasted to achieve absolutely nothing. Although, in this case they did achieve something because by making this thread you let them know that they indeed succeed in getting under your skin. Do you know what this kind of users hate the most? Being ignored.

Uncheck this box in your settings and move on to focus on things that actually matter.

As long as you aren’t hurting anyone, you shouldn’t really waste your time trying to live your life according to how you think other people are wanting you to. Nobody probably is paying any attention to you anyway and even if they do, they’ll forget about you one minute later.

Yes, I feel pretty confident in saying that in this case you are the problem. I have sympathy for antisocial behaviour as I’m that way myself too but you seem just straight up rude if not even mean.

because I know they will be there for me when I need it

I wouldn’t count on it.

Besides listening to podcasts, browsin Lemmy/Reddit is the only entertainment I ever use my phone for.

You can do it on browser too by using an adblocker and adding custom filters.

Naturally you also need to change the instance name to that of your’s.

Let’s make this about politics too because we simply can’t have a thread without someone bringing up politics. Thanks for your contribution on making this place worse for everyone.

I am being argumentative for the sake of it. What’s there to discuss if everyone is in complete agreement? I enjoy a challenge more than a circlejerk. I’m challenging your ideas with the expectation of the same being done to mine. I want people to try and poke holes into my ideas.

It’s not that I argue for points I don’t believe in - that wouldn’t make much sense to me. If I don’t think an argument holds up, I see no reason to bring it up. Rather, even when I clearly lean one way on an issue, there are often strong counterarguments to consider. Even if they don’t change my mind, they might still be points I don’t have a solid response to, and I find it valuable to engage with them. I think the ability to argue honestly against one’s own beliefs is a strong indicator that a person truly understands what they’re talking about, rather than simply echoing talking points to signal allegiance.

When I spend time with left-leaning people (like on Lemmy), they assume I’m much more right-wing than I actually am. Conversely, when I’m with my right-leaning friends, they think I’m much more left-wing than I really am. Even my closest friends and my SO frequently make assumptions about my views on certain topics, and more often than not, they’re completely wrong. My political views are such a mixed bag that they don’t fit neatly anywhere on the spectrum. However, the further you move in either direction from the center, the more I find myself disagreeing with the people there. Yet, many - often trapped in binary thinking - assume that if I’m not on their side, I must belong to the other.

I also enjoy playing Devil’s advocate, so even when I agree with someone 90% of the time, I might still bring up points that - at least to some - make it sound like I disagree. It’s just that there are very few positions I’m absolutely certain about, so even when there’s little actual disagreement, I like exploring the perspectives that highlight my own uncertainties.

It’s not a hypercar like most other Lamborghinis, you can absolutely daily drive an Urus but it’ll still be quite expensive to maintain even if the car itself was free. I’d imagine something like even an oil change costing 500 to 1000 bucks for this thing.

Gives me football vibes. Maybe they’re from Brazil.

A little bit of context would be in place. Does he run a drug cartel?
