Lot of fetanyl floating around. Easy to OD when you don't even do opiates due to cross contamination.

Oh, agreed. It's bad when I feel even a little sorry for a genocider with how fucking out of it he was up there. He's cooked

Anyway death to America

Sometimes people I just met (in a platonic context) will ask me things like "hey, what's your Instagram, let's keep in touch!"

My standard answer is that I don't do social media, but I have found that people take it as bragging perhaps? I get answers like "oh, good for you! I wish I didn't" or whatever.

If I say oh here's my number that seems too odd these days, people not that much younger than me (I'm 31) don't seem to text anymore. They use fb messenger or Instagram or others.

Also saying something like "I'm a privacy advocate and I use the fediverse" is also an odd thing to say unless I'm around techy people and even then it's weird tbh.

How do I approach this? I don't think I am better than people that use social media, its just not for me. I would prefer to text but I am not sure that works for a lot of people.

Or should I just bite the bullet and get an Instagram so that I don't seem weird, and then perhaps ask for further contact details via that platform?

Abstaining from social media can be extremely alienating.

autistic btw if you couldn't tell lmao, I have spent a lot of time thinking about this problem

We need to start distributing resources more effectively, not culling people. The majority of the human population consumes very little.

When people talk about overpopulation they always want to get rid of people other than the ones in their own home country, strangely. When the advocates for such policies are in first world nations that consume considerably more than the people they want to get rid of.

Let me ask you this: if you believe the earth has exceeded its carrying capacity, wouldn't your conclusion be to start getting rid of people or halting their reproduction? That's textbook eugenics...

Meanwhile Israel has a holiday where they celebrate running over an anti-genocide protestor with a bulldozer, flattening and killing her. They make pancakes on that day to celebrate.

It feels like literally everyone is against us and it is depressing af.

No, they are pulling out these tactics to silence people because the majority agree with us (on Palestine at least). That's why they're amping up the fascism to give the impression of everyone being against us.

Weirdly Kendrick doesn't talk a lot about (very) current events given his characterization as a conscious rapper. It always seems to come like 2+ years later

Large scale factory farming with little regulatory oversight and wretched conditions for both animal and human alike.

I created my own lemmy instance a while back so I could browse lemmygrad + other instances because libs automatically defederate from lemmygrad.

I remember when Hexbear started as a wee fork of lemmy and there were plans to federate in the future, and look at us now! Makes me happy to see people on lemmy dunking on libs and even changing a few bystander's minds. trans-specter specter Shoutout to the devs here, y'all rock. I love the qol updates like pronouns and emojis that we've had for years that beat out stock standard lemmy.

Anyway, love y'all.

p.s. But now I'm thinking maybe I should just nuke my instance and use hexbear exclusively? soviet-hmm it's kinda useless now lol
