I hear this comment in Moe Szyslak’s voice.

Why do not have in the first sentence?

Lemmy isn’t too much. It’s just that the people using it right are the types that will tell you how to build a clock when you ask what time it is. They give too much info instead of just linking to lemmy.world or something. That might be the problem with Linux too.

I was given some kind of gas once for surgery and I found it hard to breathe. I told the nurses around me that I thought I was having a panic attack and the anesthesiologist chuckled, “It’s okay. I’m giving you something for that.” Then I was out.

I wish. If that were true, we wouldn’t have nasty-ass fire-safe cigarettes and they wouldn’t cost 15 bucks a pack. I could buy Macanudo cigars for a dollar. I could see Pornhub in Texas without having to sign up for an account. If they think it will protect the children, they’ll wipe Amazon clean off the map.

For now. But the US is planning to pass it’s own version of OSA.

How does the Fediverse do it better and would that appease the jury in a civil or criminal trial? Those are questions to consider. Perhaps it’s all good. I certainly hope so.

I don’t think that will save it. I’m barely profitable and cops still give me tickets. Times are changing. Governments are coming down hard on the Internet. OSA in the UK forced Urban Dead to shut down. I would have to think admins running instances are feeling a little nervous.

I mean the instances. If a kid here in Technology dies, whoever is running this place is on the hook now. And also lemmy.world. I’m still fuzzy about how the Fediverse works, but a scapegoat will be found. This is running on somebody’s computer.

But also any type of social media in general. We’re heading towards any place where people can talk to each other online will be illegal in order to protect the children.

Everyone here is cheering this on but the Fediverse is next. If a kid here offs themselves or gets trafficked, that’s all she wrote.

You’re preaching to the choir here. My point was that the anti-corporate crowd that believes companies are trying to murder their customers for profit are not normally so charitable to such a thing. It was a bizarre moment of clarity. A benefit of doubt extended to only Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson and no other corporations.

Meanwhile, the MAGA crowd that would jump off a cliff if Trump told them to, drew the line at vaccines for some reason.

It was and still is weird.

No one “seriously lectured you” on that.

Not on that but something similar. It’s called an analogy.

I suppose if you simply label all the people who interpret your comment a certain way as “bots”

It’s not just a label. It’s a logical conclusion. If I’m talking to my neighbor and I make a joke about how eating cookies will make them explode and they begin to seriously lecture me about how there is no evidence that cookies make people explode and accuse me of lying, I’m going to assume there is something mentally wrong with them. Any rational person would assume that. It’s like a Twilight Zone episode. On the Internet, if two or more people are exhibiting the same symptoms, they’re probably bots.

Fuck right the hell off with your trolling and your attempts to spread doubt.

Dang. I feel like I’m in an I Think You Should leave skit.

That was absolutely not the impression anyone would get from reading your initial comment.

They do. Most people are not as irrational and simple as you are.

Lol that’s not how that works.

Yes. It is. If you pretend to be a Nazi and spread Nazi propaganda, you are a Nazi. That’s what Mother Night is all about. But I actually got the vaccine because like most people, I didn’t want to get covid. It sounds unpleasant. And if you don’t want covid, get the vaccine.

You’re actively sowing confusion and doubt and attacking people for being pro-vaccine

You keep insisting this but it’s not true. No one except you and the bots are getting confused about this. Rational humans will never believe that vaccines will make them explode.

I mind the other part, the part where you’re discouraging people from getting vaccinated.

I’m not doing that. That’s all in your head, pal.

Yes, I’m sure bashing everyone else who got the vaccine as a brainwashed hypocrite who’s just following trends

I’m not though because the vast majority of people are not political hobbyists and they, like me, did not get the vaccine because it was fashionable. They got it because it was reasonable.

Come on, you know as well as I do that none of your comments from the very beginning have been about encouraging anyone to get vaccinated.

This is not true. But if you insist on believing it, take comfort from the lessons of Kurt Vonnegut’s Mother Night. Even if I’m pretending to encourage people to get vaccinated, it is still encouraging people to get vaccinated. You are who you pretend to be.

My rational responses will encourage people to get the vaccine. Your psychotic rants will scare them away from it.

All I can say is that I got the vaccine and I encourage others to do so too because of the evidence and not because some lunatic on the internet might call you a dickhead if you don’t.

It’s criticizing political hobbyist. I got the vaccine because it was rational to get it. You got the vaccine because it was fashionable.

Nobody took it at face value, you lying troll.

Ahhhh. I see. Bot angry! Bot smash!

The way you troll is by saying more people should be antivax

WTF! I in no way said this.
