Enough fishing equipment for a solid year. Honestly can I just live there forever with fishing stuff and food and water forever. By myself.
I have been spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit. The only reason I havenāt fully broken away from Reddit yet is that old habits die hard. Iāve spent hours every day on Reddit for the past like 10 years.
But the atmosphere there has changed. The other day I made a post. A guy commented on the post, and said something completely wrong. When I pointed out that either he didnāt read the post, or he had a reading comprehension deficiency. Thatās exactly how I put it. The mod said I had to keep discussions civil. When I told the mod there was nothing uncivil about pointing out someoneās obvious deficiency. He banned me from the sub.
In my almost 10 years. Thatās the first time Iāve been banned from a sub.
I donāt usually talk shit to people. Really what I like to do is find people with problems, or questions. Then use my old people experience to tell them how I fucked it up. In the hopes that the person can not repeat my mistakes.
First it was r/spacedicks
Then it was r/watchpeopledie
Now itās just being āuncivilā whatever that means.
I came here because Reddit is changing, and I donāt like it. Iām generally helpful. But if someone is being an idiot, or a bigot. I want to point and laugh at them if I so choose.
For a while the content on Reddit has been lacking, and people (myself included) are having to watch what they say. I wanted to find a place where I can generally be helpful and share my āold person knowledgeā, but if someoneās being an a not great human being. I donāt have to be afraid to tell them so.
The biggest problem that I see with Lemmy is the sign up process. If someone were to ask me to explain to them how to sign up. Iām not sure I could. Like I googled āhow to create Lemmy accountā. I found a Reddit post that offered a list of Lemmy instances. The first like 3 I tried didnāt work.
When I finally found one that let me create a login. The rest was pretty easy. Honestly, since getting here I enjoy Lemmy more than Reddit these days. I donāt quite have my news dialed in like I want yet, but Iāll get there.
Anyway, thatās my two cents as a new user.
I mean, you are definitely right, but I think people that know that get the joke.
I have a plan that I want to do, but I need help. I want someone to draw me a furry version of the scene I just described. Then I start posting biblical / Quran fan fiction on Reddit right? Then I post some Abrahamic romance, and the pic or pictures right?
Like it could be nothing, but it could really blow up and upset some people. Just imagine it. Muhammad as a furry. Never mind a picture of the prophet. Heās a god damned furry. Making love to a white Jesus furry.
For what itās worth. I have a similar username on a quickly dying website. I have had people threaten my life. Tell me that Iāll be punished for eternity. Ya know? That sort of thing.
But really I prefer to let my winning personality speak for itself. For the most part I like to share my old person knowledge. I figure if I tell someone how I did it wrong. Then maybe itāll help them do it right.
I think it paints a funny mental picture.
I mean think about it. A big veiny strong Muhammad. With a thick beard, and curly dark chest hair. Balls deep in a white twink Jesus.
I mean it turns me on.
That was a roller coaster of amazing. Bravo good sir/madam.
I had a dream the other day that myself and others were being pursued by government assassins. I proclaimed that I wasnāt afraid of them. The people I was with said that nothing bad would happen to me because I didnāt live there.
Right then a bunch of guys in suits burst in and grab the people that I was with. They held me down and made me watch as they force fed poison to the people I was with.
I watched in horror as pink foam came from their moths and they flopped around on the floor. Obviously in pain. They made gurgling sounds through the foam.
Right then my partner woke me up to say she was going to work. I had only been asleep for an hour and a half. My heart was pounding from what I had just witnessed. There was no way I could go back to sleep after that.
I have a question about cat people. Does their pee smell like cat pee? Because itās inescapable. When you pee a little residue is left behind.
So, you pick up a cat person at a bar. Take them home and have wild sex all weekend. Then you show up to work on Monday, and everyone knows what youāve been up to. Because you reek of cat piss.
Sure you showered, but you canāt wash off cat piss smell. No, you have to wear it off. It stays with you.
You know. That is really my beef with religion.
Itās like if someone started a nonprofit called āsave the whalesā. A lot of people see that, join and/or give money to them. Then we look at their finances and see 10% of their money goes to feeding whales, but 90% is used to kill whales. The people, rightfully angry call them out, but the members just argue back about all the whales they are feeding.
When you ask a religious person what their religion is about. They will tell you itās a religion of peace, and love. Itās about compassion. But then you watch what they do, and realize they arenāt about that at all. They are a bunch of hate filled sex pests that do all manners of fucked up shit. Then use their god as an excuse. Because faith supersedes common sense every time.
Youād normally be right, but unfortunately I had to give it up. It makes me all paranoid and stuff. Itās no fun. I still think it should be legal everywhere though.
