Yeah, the way the history books painted Hitler was like he was a supervillain with the power of convincing people to do what he wants against their will. Now I know that’s probably not true and that the Germans were probably just dumb as fuck pieces of shit that would’ve hammered their own faces if they were told to.

And guess what, in the ‘real’ world, you would get punched in the face for saying the wrong thing to the wrong person. And if you enter the club and spend your time insulting the owner and all the regulars, a bouncer will throw your ass out into the street and no one will be defending your freeze peach.

Your consequence free version of ‘free speech’ has never existed and never will. It’s just a fantasy that you basement dwelling 4chan wannabe losers cooked up because you’ve never actually gone out into the real world or interacted with real people. Spoilt, entitled brats.

You’re free to speak, everyone else is also free to tell you to go fuck yourself. ‘Free speech’ doesn’t mean that everyone should be forced to kiss your ass 100% of the time, regardless of what you say.

I will be watching this thread with great interest for people to block and make my Lemmy experience better.

I mean, it is a movie from the 1900s, so how did they do it?

Yeah all my MySpace friends were people I made friends with on forum sites. And we were actually friends that actually spoke and messaged other. Novel concept for ‘social’ media, I know.

If they can’t get the zombie of Karl Marx risen from the grave to run, they would rather be led by right wing christian nationalist pedophiles.

I’m 40 and I also do now, just to piss off my peers that turned into their parents, and to remind myself to keep exploring new music so that I don’t become one of these people that get stuck in time and unable to relate to newer generations.

I like '90s music (it’s my childhood decade) but I also dislike people who act like things “back in their day” are objectively the best, because I heard all that shit before from old people when I was a kid.

Personally, if I had that shit pulled on me, I would probably demand to know their process of grading papers. Because from what I’ve been reading, a lot of teachers and lecturers are starting to use AI tools to assist them.

And as far as I’m concerned, if I have paid an absolute fucking fortune to be there and be taught by human beings, I’m expecting them to actually do their fucking jobs and not hand it off to Elon Musk’s plagiarist CP machine. Especially if they’re going to be going around accusing students of using AI.

Probably my copy of the book of The Fox and the Hound, that my parents read to me when I was like toddler age. Honestly it doesn’t have particular sentimental value other than I think it’s cool to still have something from basically when I was born. And it’s a lovely story too.

The runners up are probably my two acoustic guitars that are both in disrepair. And a red and blue flannel shirt that has somehow lasted about two decades and never aged or even lost a button.

That seems like a promising app. I was using Librera for Android, which also handles just about every format and has a lot of settings to play with. But Readest seems like that, plus with a nicer, less clunky look and feel.
