Less upset. More perplexed. You took the time to type out a well thought out and intelligent comment. I agreed with your comment, but you then aggressively shit on mine. Like, to say something on the internet and have people agree without a caveat is rare. To then shit on them is even rarer.

My guess is that English is not your first language. You have used certain words in our back and forth in a way that no native speaker would use. Which I’m not saying as a negative. Simply pointing out that, as a reason you misinterpreted what I said.

Either way. I hope you have a good day, and just for what it’s worth. It’s rare that you’ll hear the words “you’re right”. It’s best to graciously accept those wins. Because they won’t come often.

I’m just curious. Why shit on someone that was agreeing with you?

You are literally not making any sense. I agreed with your statement. Then I gave a personal account of why I agreed with your statement.

There is no combat. Because for there to be combat. There would have to be a disagreement. There was no disagreement.

Are you ESL?

It’s like if someone said that a lake “didn’t have big fish in it.”

Then you say “the lake does have big fish”

Then I come along and say “the lake does have big fish. I know because I’ve caught one.”

It’s the exact same thing.

What? I was agreeing with you. Then I gave personal experience examples to show why I agree with you.

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick this is spot on,and here’s why. My youngest is autistic. Like, he’s on SSI he’s so autistic. The government pays us a lot of money and covers his healthcare because otherwise they’d have to pay someone else more.

But every time I post something about him being autistic. Inevitably, someone comments about how “it’ll get better. Because they are autistic and it’s barely a hindrance to them. They are now just shy around people”.

These people act like autism isn’t a spectrum, and some people aren’t way worse than others. Once I explained that my child’s doctor even said that “He would probably never be able to live on his own”. These people told me to get him another doctor.

He already goes to the most sought after behavioral specialist in my city. A city that is built around a world class hospital, and connected college. Anyone that does that can go fuck themselves with a burning log of dog shit.

People that say “I’m autistic”. I automatically assume you are self diagnosed. Maybe start with. “I was diagnosed with autism”.

I have been spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit. The only reason I haven’t fully broken away from Reddit yet is that old habits die hard. I’ve 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 didn’t read the post, or he had a reading comprehension deficiency. That’s 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 someone’s obvious deficiency. He banned me from the sub.

In my almost 10 years. That’s the first time I’ve been banned from a sub.

I don’t 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 it’s just being “uncivil” whatever that means.

I think that what they were going for here. Is how people say I’m a Christian, but in the same breath talk about how they hate the homeless, or minorities, or homosexuals, or all of the above.

However, the Jesus of the Bible tells them not to do that. He said to love everyone, and help those in need. Ya know? Stuff like that.

It’s like if I started a charity called “feed the whales”. So, people decided that sounded like a worthwhile cause, and donated a bunch of money. But after a couple of years in operation someone checked my books and discovered I’d only spent 10% of the money feeding the whales, and the other 90% killing the whales.

People would be outraged, and rightfully so. They come to me and say hey look at all this whale killing you did, and I responded with yeah but look at all those whales I fed.

It’s the same thing. Christianity at its heart is a book of stories. At the core though the teachings of Jesus are that we should love each other and care for each other. Yet, when you bring up all the child molesting, and the racism, and other shenanigans. The churches are quick to be like those are all one offs. Besides look at the money we donated to help the homeless and fight abortions. We can’t be racist. We donated money to help inner city kids.

In the end whether it’s people or a business or a church. You are what you do. Not what you say you do, or what your name would suggest. You are what you do.

You know. Some of my fondest memories as a child were on days when my dad would let me stay home from school and we’d go fishing. I loved the outdoors, but I was too young to truly understand why if you carry it in you carry it out. I was too young to appreciate the time he and my grandparents took to teach me edible native plants.

Then I became a teenager and even an adult, and I was too busy. I didn’t go outside like I should have. I didn’t care.

Now I’m old, and I’m starting to do those things I loved as a kid. I’m starting to hunt and fish again. But even in my short time on earth the changes I’ve noticed are crazy. Especially in regards to insects that I don’t see anymore.

Look guys. I don’t know where you heard this blasphemy. But, my boyfriend and I would never.

I came here because Reddit is changing, and I don’t like it. I’m 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 “old person knowledge”, but if someone’s being an a not great human being. I don’t 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. I’m not sure I could. Like I googled “how to create Lemmy account”. I found a Reddit post that offered a list of Lemmy instances. The first like 3 I tried didn’t 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 don’t quite have my news dialed in like I want yet, but I’ll get there.

Anyway, that’s my two cents as a new user.

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 wasn’t afraid of them. The people I was with said that nothing bad would happen to me because I didn’t 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 it’s 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 you’ve been up to. Because you reek of cat piss.

Sure you showered, but you can’t 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.

It’s like if someone started a nonprofit called “save the whales”. 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 it’s a religion of peace, and love. It’s about compassion. But then you watch what they do, and realize they aren’t 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.

I can’t wait for society to collapse. Because, I want to see what a human steak tastes like. Assuming I survive the initial downfall.

You’d normally be right, but unfortunately I had to give it up. It makes me all paranoid and stuff. It’s no fun. I still think it should be legal everywhere though.

They forgot video games.

How many loved ones do these people think I have. Like, I got maybe 4 people I consider loved ones, and one of those is my fishing buddy.

I have lived in Florida twice. The first time was from the age of 5 to 7. My mom kidnapped me and ran away to Florida. She died when I was 7 and I had to move back in with my dad.

The second time. My first wife and I moved there for a couple of years. A lot of crazy things happened while we lived there. Here’s a taste.

A friend got too drunk at a bar. So I carried her from the bathroom to the car. Then I drove her home. Carried her to her room and put her in her bed and tucked her in. When I got back to the car I realized she had shit on me and in my car.

I went to a bar with a guy from work. We got drunk, and this hot older chick started talking to us. She introduces “her boys” which I thought were her homies, her friends, ya know her boys, and invited us to hang out with them. My friend accepted and he was my ride. Sooooooo, we wind up at their house. “Her boys” were her sons, and one of their wives comes out the bedroom pissed that we woke her up. Then outside mom gets naked in the pool and “her boys” were just like “yup that’s my mom… naked”

Fuck that cess pit. The whole god damn state is cursed.
