I am actually speechless

Honestly, I don't want guns. They seem like a hassle, just like on a personal level. You gotta be mentally stable, secure them, learn to use them. That's more work than I'm willing to put into most things. Maybe I can just make friends with someone who can shoot at the fascists on my behalf?
Also, the voting system is rigged. Vote if you want but don't expect too much from it.
The main problem with a war is logistical. And I fucking love forklifts.
That's it, im tagging you as 'fucking loves forklifts'.
I’ve got you tagged as “I like this person” for some reason.
... and you are now tagged as 'likes me for some reason', lol
I had you tagged for 'quip of Theseus' that shit was 🌋
Do you have a link to that? That’s a fun tag name too hahaha

Really good joke
Hahaha. I’ve got you at +26, but you must’ve written something specific at some point for me to go out of my way to tag you… most of my tags are horrid poo brown for unreasonable people/bad faith people/racist/sexist/etc.
I don't even know how to do the... thing where i run my own up vs downvotes on other people's accounts.
I mostly just shit post from mobile, lol.
It’s a setting someone told me about like a year ago! It lives in voyager, somewhere. I can find it if you’re interested! Alas, it only counts votes from when you turn it on. I like stats sometimes, so it’s fun to see random numbers on people.
A lot of times, when I see a big negative number like 20+, it makes total sense. Occasionally I see a negative number and it makes no sense.
I downvote image posts a lot if they’re really dumb-ly censored and it’s not purposeful to be cheeky, or if they taste really.. “Facebook-ey”? I think then I see whoever posts a lot of posts, and they’re making funny or insightful comments and I feel bad. I’m sorry, those people. I appreciate that you post, it keeps things alive. I should stop downvoting those posts… but I don’t like them.
Ah, well.
Well that would make sense as to why I have no idea how to enable it:
I don't use Voyager, that kind of feature literally doesn't exist in my client.
... Maybe I can figure out a way to enable some web version of it, at the instance level? Just occasionally run/update it from my PC, kinda like running a webscrape algo?
Not sure.
Presumably there is a repo somewhere I could clone and fork/fuck up to my own ends, lol.
But anyway... perhaps oddly, the way I use lemmy is more like ... I sometimes updoot, more often forget to.
Rarely just downvote something.
If I see a comment that is what I deem to be very incorrect or misguided, first, engage with that person in good faith.
If they either don't respond or respond, still maybe disagreeing, but also in good faith?
Fuck, I'll upvote that. That's the point of a discussion forum, imo.
But, if they reply in bad faith, or with just basically gibberish or insults, or are determined to be selectively illiterate, and they persist in this, I block em.
... I have a lot of people of my block list.
If there was some actual crowd based feedback mechanism that punished being an obstinate, inconsiderate ass... as opposed to punishing being broadly factually wrong or having an unpopular take... I think that would make for a much better discussion board type of environment.
So, untill that gets invented, I basically just try to do it for myself.
You want people to feel safe in potentially being simply wrong. How, otherwise, can anyone learn or grow or be conceptually challenged?
Huh. Jerboa doesn't seem to expose that control.
shrug-emoji.mpeg
Yeah maybe its only a Voyager thing?
???
Forklifts are amazing
Hell yeah they are
This was my office for a couple years until it was retired (and scrapped). My boi 12. It's a crown narrow aisle reach. We max out going up a little over 9 meters or 30 feet
The crazy thing about these guys is how precisely they handle whilst being 5 tons or 4.5 tonnes
One of the best aspects of getting to train people on how to drive our machines is I get to watch them in action and it's mesmerizing. The forklifts I mean; there's so many parts moving together and it has to be with precision and grace or things can go south pretty quickly
I could go on for days. Why do you think forklifts are amazing?
If you don't like guns, that's understandable. Everyone has something to offer, even if it's just a little food and a place to crash.
I takes all kinds to fight, some on the front lines with signs or weapons or lawyers, but many more are needed to support their efforts.
Sucks lethality is the only thing that matters in a force for violence.
Sabotaging infrastructure accomplishes a lot more than killing people does. Unless you kill a lot people.
This is the real reason why Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organization. They caused millions in damages to Elbit systems and other infrastructure that supports the genocide, effectively shutting down several weapons facilities and forcing Barclays Bank to divest from Elbit. They were extremely effective, and the UK government couldn’t handle that heat.
Fr, those guys caused billions in damage. Simple sabotage is underrated
Yep. Unfortunately, it’s often a lot easier for people to explode than entire warehouses/datacenters. I mean, some guy burned down an entire Amazon (?) warehouse and they aren’t in that much distress
Wow, way to devalue human life. Jerk.
Weird, bloodthirsty take there, pal.
Military sure doesn't think so, kill, and your enemy loses one soldier, wound, and they lose at least two, if not more, as they have to provide medical care, transport, rehabilitate etc., much more expensive and often more demoralizing.
I'm sorry, clearly you haven't listened to the US secretary of defense. Do you think you know more about war than the current us secretary of defense?
Wait, isnt the current secretary of defense that kegsbreath guy?
The drunk one with the multiple Nazi tattoos who skips leg day and has worse opsec on top secret invasion stuff than you do about serving curry burritos to the homeless camp down the street, yes.
Since I served longer than he did, and achieved an officers commission, yes.
I can say with absolute certainty, you are currently a better gun owner than most (given you already have a good mental understanding of good gun ownership). I have come across almost equal parts stable and unstable people who own guns. And I have found that only the stable people tend to secure them.
Pis-sy: Black canvas that sign, and in red:
Wife: “Too wordy!
‘Ballots elect
Nazis Again!
Arm up 🔫🔫 🏴️🅰️’”
I think your message got cut off Nevermind
It's an image. Might not have loaded on your instance yet?
Oh, now its loaded
The gun or the image? /J
The image
So close to getting it
Ah yes, because you have to choose one or the other.
The founding fathers wanted you to have bullets, too.
Death by a thousand paper cuts it is.
Guns, germs, steel and... paper?
thanks to the sign maker, we also have bricks.
Did I write this? I feel like I wrote this.
What's my name?
Paper beats rock idiot
Dang America is real forgetful.
Cooked to absolute cinders
The ahistorical takes🧵 are more alarming 👀
s are sooooo cooked
I’ll take the bullets, please and thank you
