I wondered if they made the jump over here. Guess not, sadly. Reading that sub has made me a better man, because it offers some pretty harsh critiques of male behavior.

Why is this not a conflict of interest?

I use Boost for Lemmy. The transition from Reddit was easy for me, and I know little about the fediverse other than the most basic outlines.

Good.

Didn’t Vine do this once, then TikTok came along and did it, more or less? Won’t there just be another one sometime before we know it?

Look what they made Bluesky do.

To be fair, in South Carolina, Jesus could run as a Democrat and somehow lose to Lindsey Graham with likely voters.

I think they might need to be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

Being gay doesn’t mean someone is somehow less masculine, which is the heart of what the “homo water” idiot is implying.

Was the British Empire, upon which the sun never set, somehow not masculine enough? One could argue it ran on tea. Morally questionable, absolutely, but not manly enough?

Were the samurai somehow compromised in their masculinity because they drank tea, sometimes in elaborate ceremonies?

And, apart from tea, were the Sacred Band, the elite warriors who died to a man fighting Alexander the Great’s dad, somehow less manly because they were all gay?

I bet this colleague of yours also thinks straws are gay in this parlance, as if it’s somehow more manly to put one’s lips on the same glass rims touched by hundreds of others. I guess hygiene is not masculine or heterosexual.

And the thing is, even my rant here is problematic because it spawns from a lifetime of people equating gay with not being enough of a man, an attitude that infects my own thinking.

Shit, the most feminine of men is more of a man than these idiots if he stands up for his identity unapologetically.

I tried reading two different series from Stephen R. Donaldson, and it seemed to me he was somehow unable to write a book without a horrific rape. I just stopped reading the first book in each case because I felt like they were salacious and hateful.

I agree. I just have no idea how to motivate folks to do that. Hence the despair.

Texas, where woke goes to die.

Weeps in despair in South Carolina

Congratulations, you played yourself.

But claims that we the best music…I am now disillusioned.

Adam Something is a favorite of mine.

Making an important distinction, my friend.

I liked Google+, mostly because it wasn’t Facebook, I guess.

Wrapping that cable around an AT-AT’s legs at the Battle of Hoth is something I’ll always remember from those games.

I enjoy Sam’s Club’s “Scan and Go” feature in their app. I scan my items and pay in the app. I never have to interact with a soul, and that’s peachy keen in my book.
