  • The thing you didn’t understand is that people who don’t understand what you meant are trying to find the referenced comic in order to understand it. They don’t know what they are looking for and lemmy is pretty weird when it comes to searching for users apparently.

    Now i actually knew your guide required you to sort by “new” and already had an idea which comic you meant.

    You are correct in what you initially said but next time i recommend placing a link rather then giving people a map and then get defensive when people are getting lost.

    For every else:

    THEY MEANT THIS COMIC:

  • This and just act mature about it with a critical judgement.

    Regardless what Rowling says the wizarding world, which is a mix of common mythology and has folklore huge queer potential. Its hard to find media that portrays something like it this well.

    The series will have its flaws, the writer will make sure of that, but she will also be too shortsighted to recognise the extension and personal touched by everyone else involved that may not agree with her viewpoints.









  • *humans

    That is why its so important to teach the values of socialism in context of self identified selfishness.

    If we can guarantee that everyone has the means to live healthy and comfortable…

    Then you are guaranteed to live healthy and comfortable.

    If everyone looks after their neighbours, then your neighbours will look after you.

    We are a long way away from a world where human psychology does not contain an ego, first step to mediate that is to accept it and find a way to be at peace where it can no longer cause harm.





  • This is gonna be controversial but to give this another perspective…

    A long time ago me and my buddy role-played racist police in gta (not against other real people though) we are generally into really dark humor, the more evil and horrible the joke the bigger the contrast with how we actually are on the inside and we laugh at the absurdity of that which makes the experience funny while the joke itself never is.

    But context is everything, we are about as anti racist as it gets irl, roleplaying the absurdity of racist police it is a way to process that this fucked up thing happens in our reality.

    It affirms what we already know, racist behaviour is not just wrong but also incredibly stupid and there is no reasonable explanation on why a person would be like that besides some irrational and dangerous mental illness.


  • There is a story that gets passed down in my family from the time a pocket watch was considered luxury.

    Allegedly to know whether it was time for a break, end of work. The boss would just look at his watch and say nope. Without anyone able to verify.

    So my ancestor saved up their money and bought a silver pocketwatch to call the boss out when he cheated, a fancy one presumably because a cheap one could cause an argument that it doesn’t keep time as well as the one the boss had (it might have been the exact same one as the boss idr)

    We still own the watch.
