Kinda surprised it took everyone this long, TBH.

There aren’t any ads on Mastodon. :)

You just search hashtags or set up a column so you have a feed giving you everything under a given hashtag, though it may be those communities are so niche there isn’t much on the Mastodon instance you chose. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a specific instance for Buddhism itself, though, given that it’s such a massive world religion.

You’re comparing apples to oranges.

But that’s okay.

It’s objectively a healthier option. All for it.

Having a parent in charge of programming instead of an algorithm makes a world of difference.

That’s probably fair. There’s an abundance of smug assholery in the world right now. Apologies.

Good.

This is the digital equivalent of making sure the cigarettes and liquor are locked up, because there’s a wealth of evidence that social media is harmful to young people.

If you didn’t want to have to actually parent your own children instead of parking them in front of a screen that’s driving them toward self-hatred and fascism, you shouldn’t have procreated in the first place.

Must be nice to be so rich that you can just be this fucking weird in public.

The whole ‘rescue plane’ bullshit was a nice little cherry on top of this propagandistic shit pie that the Israeli and US Media cooked up.

I think this is the crowd that tried Mastodon and then abandoned it when they realized it required a modicum of effort.

“EDumper” is a great name for a dump truck.

I wouldn’t trust it. We now live in an era where, if you want control of any kind of information, you simply can’t share it digitally in any way.

What’s lazy is this McCarthyist nonsense you and yours are spewing here.

I’m anti-war.

Doesn’t make me a traitor, whereas you and yours have never seen a war you dislike, even though we keep learning that the past three decades have seen the US go to war over and over again based on false premises.

It isn’t directly

Good. Perhaps say something relevant then.

That’s a completely separate issue.

What does that have to do with my comment exactly?

EDIT: By all means, downvote a literal and factual statement, chickenhawks.

It should be noted that opposing the US becoming entangled in foreign wars isn’t treason.

This is the absolute weirdest thing about Trump’s governance to me: how sometimes he ends up doing good things for terrible reasons, like when the US redeployed from Syria.

Literally two of the same arguments used to get the US mired in Iraq and Afghanistan, but even if this instance includes no cash payouts, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a cost to US taxpayers made in neglect of our own people. Further, hundreds of billions in cash have been spent on the war in Ukraine and our US-sponsored genocide in Palestine.

Forgive me if I’m not willing to digest them this time around. This nonsense and the neglect of our people here are why my eighty-year old parents are driving for DoorDash.

Totally, man.

There’s absolutely zero meaning to making that salute and invoking that iconography in a public setting.
