The Weak LeftistDiscussions: :wojak-nooo: I disagree with what you’re saying, but I respect your right to say it, now tell us your social security number and address, ignore the flower van outside your house and tell us about your plans to protest

I was at a farm recently and I kept returning to the pig… I didn’t want to miss it pooping on its own balls. I knew it wasn’t going to happen - if it had happened before then surely I would have received a picture - but I just kept on waiting for it, circling those giant balls like a vulture. That’s the part of communism that nobody warns you about.
One of the especially cursed aspects of American politics is how liberals get to pretend they’re “leftists”.
Conservatives think John McCain is half-communist.
Liberals think they’re DemSuccs, because they once voted for a guy who said he liked Medicare.
DemSuccs think they’re Revolutionary Socialists, because they once block-walked for a woman who said she wanted to Defund the Police.
Socialists think they’re doing Communism, because they once split the check at lunch.
Communists think everyone they know is a reactionary who is just trying to play it cool until the next counter-revolution, and that any kind of organizing is just an invitation to be arrested or killed.

show, don’t tell. Set the scene for the reader. Make them feel like they were in the maternity ward on that warm august day in 1997. They had just eaten a big mac while they wait outside the delivery room their girlfriend is in. Limp Bizkit is on the radio and they have to occupy their time with a Reader’s Digest from the week of January 13, 1992. One of the stories is about a guy who encountered a family of grizzly bears hiking in Idaho and lived to talk about it.
Maybe I’m just old as fuck, but Discord seems like a medium that’s literally impossible to have a discussion on. It might as well be an endless auto-generated scroll.
It depends on the size of the discord, ~20 people seems to be about the maximum the format can handle.
I’m at least one person using it that way, the Discord I hang out on for a league is like that. Going on like “youtube e-celeb official” is pretty much impossible to follow any sort of conversation.
As an Old, I agree. I tried and it honestly feels like a step backwards. I think Yahoo chat rooms had more meaningful discussions.
It freaks me out… too much sensory input at once. I miss the pre-Reddit era of niche messageboards.
I have that feeling looking at Twitch chat sometimes and I’m a zoomer lol
ukraine flag pfp, tells me all that i need to know
