Stocks, Investing, Gambling, Bitcoin .etc

Look, I'm not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don't care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn't want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They'd rather buy lottery tickets.

Trans people. Why do I gotta hear about them every ten minutes?

Found the bigot Edit: save your long winded novelesque replies, I’m not reading them

Found the idiot.

You don't have to care about every single thing in the world. It's perfectly valid to not want to deal with or think about trans people as long as you're not actively trying to sabotage them. I'm sure there are dozens of "movements" you are unaware of, and can't bother to give a damn about even if they were explained to you.

If you mean on the Threadiverse in particular, one of the larger home instances, lemmy.blahaj.zone, is aimed at the trans crowd, was one of the older active instances that I recall.

EDIT: One of the first discussions I recall being in on the Threadiverse was when kbin.social -- which puts random comments in the sidebar to help people discover new communities -- sent both me and apparently some other guy, both using kbin.social, to a discussion in [email protected]. He had an upset comment about how everyone in the thread was furry.

EDIT2: And I don't see that community any more, so I wonder if they closed it down.

EDIT3: I remember when I was trying to find new communities a while back, was looking for interesting tech stuff. I see [email protected], figure ah hah, Unix socket development forum. I like a good chat about network development! No, it's...unexpectedly trans Unix sysadmins posing with their Unix system in feminine stockings. Ah, well.

I mostly just mean the Internet in general. I don't really care about the whole debate going on. Leave them be, right?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's the next step of the civil rights movements, which certain demographics of people are fighting tooth and nail to prevent (and undo past progress). If it were possible to simply say "All people get equal rights", and leave it at that, we'd all be better off. We've had some big hullabaloos in the past about "do the blacks count as people?" and "do women count as people?" then "do the gays count as people?" and now "do the trans count as people?". Once everyone gets over hating trans people, the haters will move on to another minority to persecute and we'll have posts online about "Why do I have to hear about (label) all the time? Can't we just leave them be?"

Whatever flash in the pan has "games" pissed off today.

They're easily outraged by any perceived slight, easily demonized/lionized by the media, often incredibly misguided, entirely without consideration for the bigger picture, and usually have 0 long-term impact follow-through or apology when whatever they were upset about gets rectified.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Sums them up quite nicely. To include, a lot of them have a poor grasp in how the business is handled in the industry. They just think that whatever game that only like, 15 people remember will make "loads of money" if it only got a remaster. Like come on, we've seen mini-consoles released, we've seen what gets decided to be remade. It is all based on what the IP originally brought to the company in the first place.

Gamers have been awfully spoiled in the past 14 years that only gamers 20 or more years ago would have loved to dine into. So many sales. So many opportunities. So much choice.

But no, let's throw all of that away because of a minor inconvenience or pretending to care about some game that they wouldn't have liked anyways but pretend to now like because of some political issue.

The beach, I couldn't give less of a bother about going to lay on some burning sand, occasionally dipping my toes in some freezing fish piss water, and getting pelted in the face with sand as a bunch of kids run by kicking up every speck of sand they touch while their parents are getting shitfaced and blasting music no one else wants to hear.

Put me in a secluded lake in the woods with some shade near by and I'm all in though. I guess more specifically my issue is with the people at the beach, but still.

Are you Bill Hicks?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like you need to find a less popular beach

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Or go earlier in the day. At least in my neck of the woods.
