@Jaden3 It's something I've had to say to racist people who come at me with the -look at where they are- bullshit. Like, da fuck. How long do you think it's been? Your family playing on easy mode does not compare. With generational wealth and opportunity stacked in their favor and shit. They'd lose it going through the everyday experience.

I've noticed an increase in mean/rude behavior towards the people in my comments sections lately, and I'm going to start putting my foot down about it. So, here's a guide:

It is totally okay to correct misinformation, but there is a way to do it.

  1. Make sure your information is actually correct, and you have valid links supporting your argument.

  2. Calling people or their thoughts stupid or any other similar thing is not okay, no one knows everything, and acceptable terms change frequently, so please keep this in mind.

  3. Treat people how you would like to be treated if you were incorrect or misinformed about something. Assume the best about people, and let them prove themselves one way or another.

  4. A private message to the person directly is usually a much better tactic than calling them out publicly, and embarrassing them.

Opinions are not facts, telling someone they are wrong about things like, food they eat, music they listen to, or movies they watch is ridiculous. This is about individual preference, and has nothing to do with facts. Your own take a certain topic might be better to do on your personal account, than just tacking it on to someone else's. Some fun joking around is fine, as long as everyone understands that is what it is.

Violating anyone's civil rights is wrong, whether we like them or not.

Talking negatively about the way someone looks or anything else they can't help, even if we don't like what they do, is also wrong. Let's not become they thing we are fighting against.

Make sure what you're reading isn't satire/sarcasm/humor, and check the context, sometimes you might be reading a comment in a long line of comments.

Nuance in text is infamously hard to understand sometimes, misunderstandings are incredibly common, people have different ways of speaking and reacting, and I definitely understand that, but if someone tells you that what you're saying is not welcome or applicable to what they are posting on their personal account, it's probably for the best to just back off. Yes, you have the right to free speech, but they also have the right to set Boundaries in their personal space. If you don't enjoy their content, and they aren't violating any rules, it would be best just to block them.

Obviously, none of this applies to sexism, racism, LGBTQ+phobia, body shamers, and ableists, but even in that situation, sometimes it's better just to block and report than engage. The quickest way to stop poison is to get rid of the poison. People change their own minds, you can't do it for them.

Just don't be a dick, I love posting here, and want it to be a positive experience for everyone who interacts with my posts. I'd also like maintain a certain amount of my own mental health. So, if you insist on continuing rude and harassing behavior, I will be forced to block you.

@RickiTarr It's gonna get a little crazier probs because some of it is because of the election cycle and wars.

You used to have to send people to hang out physically in places and mess with things, now you can show up in multiples into people's living room, sorta speak, and there's even parrots to write most of your squawks. It's weird to write this, but it's what we're living through.

Friendly advice: Many Mastodon apps don’t support html/markup at this time so posts may look good on your end, but like a messy block of text/code for others.

It's my recommendation to not use these features until they're more universally supported.

@Alice Thank you very much for saying. This is the kindness stuff that people talk about on here. And this was me all day yesterday. It's very much appreciated to know.

I adore a good conversation as you all might have guessed, but there is something to be said for people you can sit in companionable quiet with, reading, drawing, or whatever you like to do, just an energizing presence who feels comfortable in silence.

gettingcomputey,
@gettingcomputey@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr Fuck yeah. I specially love road trips with people you can just vibe with. Someone who needs to break the silence because silence makes them uncomfortable becomes locked in a box with commercials.

I am so glad Air Canada had to honor what an AI chatbot said.

Part of what they want to do with AI is remove accountability. They really wanted to get that "it was a chatbot, doesn't count" and then make the chatbots the only option.

Okay, you can choose a real person you'd love to see a movie made about, who is the person, and who would you cast in the starring role?

I'm picking Tiny Tim, played by Finn Wolfhard.

@RickiTarr I have a friend who has always been spitfire. Just good at excelling at stuff, smart. Really helped me gain perspective when I was a ghetto af youth hanging out with friends who didn't apply themselves at anything.

Apparently this is part of his family lineage and it explains a lot.

I don't know who for the actor though. There's a dude named Kirill Käro who could probably pull it off, but not for English speakers.

edit: usual disclaimer since, ya know: Putin sucks

Hey, Jesus!

I hear you have the best psychedelics. Can I get some of that blood wine, bro. And also, how long before I trip hard enough for it to look like you can walk on water? Also, also, I brought you these gummies so you can switch things up a bit sometimes.

Whoa. So it's just really thick glass in that one spot?! Fucking genius, bro!

I respect the amount of effort you have gone through to make them understand that we should be nice to each other, but I have some bad news about the immediate future for you, and the future I come from, for your teachings.

I wish I could truly make people understand how much of a cult Conservative Fundamentalism is, and how much it truly brainwashes you. It is easy to say, "How can those people be so stupid, how can they not see?", but unless you've been inside it, you cannot understand how much effort is put into making sure that people cannot understand or see.

@RickiTarr Was having a conversation about this very thing with my Son yesterday.

Religions give you
-an immediate social connection, and hey we are social creatures.
-a feeling of safety in a world where you are constantly being chipped away at by everything, and that you know has an end here.
-Prayer. A way to feel hope, and to have a conversation without other people involved. It's a common thing found in all different kinds of cultures. Even I, who don't believe in God, understand the need to feel that and to want to speak things into existence.

One of the biggest dangers in religions is that it is a bunch of people searching for something, and predatory people know that makes them an easy mark. If they're the only ones being nice to you, it can help build those extreme views.

The natives are in reservations while the majority of the settlers get punked by a few super rich families, but it is the land of the free because they'll let you sing ACAB as long as you keep work slaving.

Don't worry, some of the natives are buying back the stolen land so they can, checks notes, create the projects we are supposed to be creating to make sure humanity sticks around.
