Hang on. Am I misunderstanding, cuz this comes across to me like “oh you don’t like capitalism yet have an iphone?” I don’t even personally use Twitter but I get why people do, even when they hate the dude.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your least favourite thing about the fediverse or lemmy?English
3·3 days agoI was gonna say something similar, like the amount of times I’ve wanted to look into some political topics and seeing comments encouraging violence make it hard for me to feel motivated just to stay informed. I get being angry, but damn, cue Mr. Rogers “what do we do with the mad that we feel?”
Thats part of what made me keep watching. It’s almost masochistic. Walts character going further into the narcissistic abuse with each season is horrifying to me, but it’s also so well written through that psychological lens that it fascinates me.
The difference between that and BCS for me was mostly that there was a ton more back story to see how Jimmy’s psychology developed. I had a lot more sympathy for him.
Both are interesting to me in the sense of how TV shows were starting to pivot away from these more traditional perfect protagonists into complex mixtures of horrible people that I still wanted to root for. But again, masochistic for me, cuz I want to see the good in everyone — and that has come at the cost of understanding when I need to set boundaries and walk away irl. I like to tell myself its like exposure therapy when in reality I need professional therapy 💀

187·14 days agoWhat about him do you like more than Jasmine? She’s a fuckin firecracker. I love her. Never heard of this other dude.
I’m very much lost on the context of this and the meme. We talking Hillary? Shes been accused of this, or the survivor knew Hillary witnessed it???

3·1 month agoKeep in mind the Charlottesville protest was organized in part on discord. Not saying that’s a good reason to give up privacy, but its not just good faith actors using it. Also telling parents to do better doesn’t exactly stop grooming and abuse of minors overnight.
The only reason I know is a psychologist I follow on YouTube (channel name Psychology in Seattle) is a Seahawks fan

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Kamala Harris unveils “Headquarters 67” to mobilize Gen Z through a new digital media hubEnglish
41·1 month agoIf we had a fair primary process, one where funding/media coverage wasn’t deliberately skewed like in 2016, I wouldn’t mind her running. I need to fact check myself on the details here, though — can’t remember if it was media coverage and funding or just media coverage in particular biasing Clinton
Ninja edit: ok there was some fuckery for sure, but I didn’t realize the votes were so heavily favoring Clinton. Either way, that’s what primaries are for. I’d rather have Harris over Newsome, personally
Two muffins are in an oven. One says to the other “damn, it’s hot in here.” The other says “AHHH A TALKING MUFFIN!??”
Instagram videos can be embedded on discord by adding kk before Instagram in the link, too (same for tiktok when the embed isn’t working), but I’m curious why y’all don’t say anything or maybe set up a channel for him to share? The fact that this post has so many upvotes makes me feel a bit sad, like it’s obvious to me why he still does it — he’s making a bid for connection with content he’s interested in and thinks y’all would enjoy. We’re social creatures. Stonewalling can be incredibly hurtful.

Television@piefed.social•Matt Damon Says Netflix Wants Movies to Restate the ‘Plot Three or Four Times in the Dialogue’ Because Viewers are on ‘Their Phones While They’re Watching’English
6·2 months agoDepending on what shows you watched, plenty from the 90s/00s assumed viewers wouldnt make it for the airing once a week. So they did fluff a bunch and rely on “this week’s monster” rather than dense series plots. I remember despising dragon ball z (my brothers favorite) because multiple episodes would go by with fuckin NOTHING happening.

News@lemmy.world•Minnesota doubles-down on ICE shooting investigation despite Trump adminEnglish
1·2 months agoRip. I wish I could embed it. You can verify elsewhere. He was absolutely not touched outside of he himself putting his hand on the vehicle. He was a few feet out of the way. He put himself in that position to begin with anyway. So while I’d have sympathy if he were hurt, I still wouldn’t have blamed her in the slightest. ICE training (and border patrol if I’ve understood correctly does) should never encourage how he approached her.



Iiiit can be risky following those impulses, like retraumatizing rather than healing. So… kinda? I say while currently binging true crime lol
