I'm gone.

For *some* of us... There is no safe harbor. There is no "belonging." There is no squad, community, tent, or 'in-group'. There is no inclusion, welcome, kinship, or "fam." Being iconoclastic is a desert. Where an oasis once might've been stumbled upon haphazardly, now... only mirages.

Yup, not the place. Oh well. Enjoy and be well, all.

"....one (1) non-shitty corner of the internet where we can be ourselves." Yeeeeahhh, but I think that's *the* ("social" networking/platform) canard -- cause no such corner can/will exist. This sure as shit ain't it or close... and *not* due to the reasons, in my case, that one might assume.

Jeezus.... Fuck thiz place and the pervasive shitty-attitude responses to someone who makes a simple comment (not even in disagreement!!) I fucking HATE PEOPLE... and it worsens **daily** due to the unending vile rancor.

Reminder that "punishable by fine" means "legal for rich folks."

NEW YORK (AP) — Judge fines Donald Trump $5K but won’t hold him in contempt after post disparaging court clerk lingered on campaign site.

This is sagacious. Also, following this guideline means that "my people" haven't apparently existed -- At. All. -- since, oohhh... probably 2011-2013ish. No, that isn't in the least an exaggeration. One tends to notice such a thing. If you believe *you* have things bad -- YOU >>DON'T<<.

Remember who checks on you when you get a little quiet. Those are your people.

It seems like a lot of the problems people are facing right now are being caused by the fact that a few people are insisting they personally should become not just filthy rich but offensively rich. Billionaires are a choice, and one we should all unmake.

Apparently there’s an influx of far right nazi arseholes. Remember the rules. Do not engage. Do not quote post to dunk. Block early, block often. Starve them of oxygen.

Interesting read, in a first scientists were able to give "cognitive memory impairment" symptoms to mice through gut microbes found in Alzheimer's patients. Could be a huge step forward in diagnosing and treating early stage Alzheimer's. www.sciencealert.com/in-a-huge-fi...

While it may be enjoyable, worthwhile, and an S-tier LifeProTip, punching Nazis will *never* be adequate. Permanently reducing their number to zero is The Way™ - they all but *demand* it with zeal.

I've been the recipient of multiple bully/abusers over the course of my years. People aren't likely to exactly like it - I know I sure don't/didn't - but the *only* thing that ever made them stop was: Vicious, unrelenting, and BRUTAL violent retribution & disproportionate self-defense. No joke.

It's no fun to be a bully without the people to bully, otherwise you might be the one the other bullies turn on

Weird how right after folks started posting invite codes in the open to spite people saying “Hey, don’t post invite codes in the open, bad actors grab them to start their bullshit here en masse” we got a wave of Pepe Frog Avatars speaking German that love Nordic runes. Sure that’s not related.

Going on a timeout - back when I'm back.

Yeah, people definitely shouldn't be haphazardly leaving "house keys" (<-- HYPERBOLE) where just **anyone** can pick 'em up and show up to cause toxic grief. Or was that *not* blatantly clear via the grade-school level context clues?! Dogpiling derpwads can SUCK MY WHOLE ASS. 😡
