I know, right?! Why!!!

Don't forget the whole issue of the "(non sexual) drag acts are pedophilia" "being gay/trans/etc is child grooming" "Kissing someone of the same gender in a public space should be illegal" arguments that would allow conservatives to sterilize/chemically castrate anybody lgbtq or gender non-conforming due to the whole "Think of the children!!!" moral panic.

Hell this almost happened in Florida when they passed the bill that allowed forced chemical castration of people convicted of sexual battery, as well as that anti drag show bill which punished drag show performers with sexual misdemeanor charges, but also had a proposed amendment to change that to a sexual battery charge.

youtube is plagued with these bots that either copy someone else's comment (normally positive of the video creator in order to avoid being auto deleted) or use some chatbot to come up with phrases, the picture is always some attractive woman or sometimes just straight up images from porn, when you click on the profile the banner image or profile links will contain a link to either a scam site or an onlyfans page. They generally also bot upvotes on their comments in order to get better visibility

I'm pretty sure it's a reference to this: youtube.com/watch?v=NlZzftmtGJY

If I had a quarter for each time someone has explained eldritch/other-worldly concepts to me via an analogy using ants I'd have a dollar, which isn't a lot but it's strange that it's happened 4 times

I saw that thread, there were some extremely weird and gross responses, one person wrote like 6 paragraphs on how they couldn't stop using it, with one of the reasons being they "liked the mouth feel"??? It's baffling the lengths people will go to to justify saying a slur.

Yeah, but I wasn't replying to the social democrat. I can only go through seeing anarchists and communists be called lib so many times before feeling like the word liberal has lost all meaning and it just becomes another abstract insult

to Those Leftists™, anyone thats left of them, right of them, or has identical political beliefs on everything except one issue are "libs", its been thrown around so much on lemmy that it takes up the same part of my brain as "woke", when I see someone use it unironically its generally safe to say I can ignore them.

Speak for yourself, I personally love to give blowjobs/suck dick

There's also the privilege of living in a location where vegan alternatives are readily and frequently available, vast swaths of the US are in what's known as "food deserts", locations where "residents’ access to affordable, healthy food options (especially fresh fruits and vegetables) is restricted or nonexistent due to the absence of grocery stores within convenient traveling distance" (https://foodispower.org/access-health/food-deserts/) these locations also tend to have high obesity or diabetes rates due to the fact that the only food easily and cheaply available is high in sugar. Add in things like the increased price for even simple vegan foods (like rice and beans) and you might be starting to see the picture, as much as some people would LIKE to be vegan it is literally not possible for them without either taking on substantial additional costs or completely upending their life.

A lot of the reason people who are otherwise pro-vegan (like myself) tend to dislike online vegans is that they will, consistently and smugly, while in a location and economic position where its easier to get vegan options, berate people for eating animal products without ever considering the possibility that its MUCH harder to get non-animal product based foods in certain areas
