I give it 90 seconds after that moment until their searching for the old reference lands them on some new and better reference they’d rather use instead

Depends on who needs this meme I suppose

Born to be an constantly evolving set of self evident ideas, forced to have an identity

“I just hyperfocused my way through another Star Wars EU novel over the weekend and I have a list of 37 reasons Like Skywalker is awesome I have to share with you guys!”

“Why don’t you go share your tongue with the pencil sharpener, nerd!”

[Whole class laughs at me].

[Sensitivity to justice engages and I spend the rest of the day fantasizing about murdering the kid who said that and trying to not be seen crying]

-basically how all of elementary school went for me

Idk, the fact that I grew up in a rural area and vocally didn’t give a shit about hunting or football probably didn’t do me any favors.

… and then I said “Actually my life is pretty full already and that stuff doesn’t actually need doing.”

I try to think of it like having a rambunctious friend who takes me on inconveniencing but entertaining adventures

I asked that question recently and got some helpful responses,

tl;dr PieFed has different people behind it, a few more features, and is written in Python instead of Rust (I’m not a coder or an instance host, so don’t ask me what that distinction means, but I’ve anecdotally seen more people saying python is easier to work with than rust than the other way around),

PieFed communities federate with Lemmy communities, tho, so no matter which kind of instance you’re going through as a user you should be able to interact with all the communities (assuming your instance admins haven’t decided to defederate with the other instance for some reason)

the Fediverse really seems like it could be our response to these fuckers controlling the narrative on social media. It could be more than just an interesting decentralized social media platform. I really think this could be a key step in reclaiming our democracy.

Agreed, and I would add that finding ways to get nonprofit news organizations (e.g. ProPublica) and public media (e.g. NPR, PBS, etc.) to host and administer their own instances and to start directing their readers/listeners to those services would be a great way to advance this goal

“Sensitivity to justice? That is a problem that must be cured.” - what capitalism does to a mf-er

Nah, it’s actually very easy to see, thanks for your concern tho

This is the woke DEI agenda fascists want you to be afraid of (though I think they called it “political correctness” in those days)

There are some social media communities where that’d get you removed, which is dumb as fuck but I can’t be mad at OP because their meme got laundered through a place with shitty mods
