Integrity.

Probably LOTRO or Enshrouded.

Lately, I’ve really got into making sheet-pan dinners. Baked (and marinated) chicken breast surrounded by halved baby potatoes, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower with a little feta cheese sprinkled on after it comes out of the oven. Hearty and delicious! :)

This is definitely a rich person thing, at least in the USA. Most people I know and associate with don’t have the kind of money to keep a lawyer on retainer.

When I heard my father decrying racism as wrong - and then turning right around in the very next sentence to say that homosexuals and trans people deserve god’s wrath.

Yeah, I was talking about the people who are hostile and abusive. I’m wondering if the people who are so disagreeable on Lemmy came straight from Reddit.

I tried very hard to work and fit in at a job where the majority of the people did not share my own values, and were extremely vocal and abusive about it. Being singled out and literally screamed at in front of everyone for something that I had nothing to do with was the last straw. It was probably the worst job I have ever had. My mental health really suffered from that place.

Do you think that a lot of people come to Lemmy because they got banned from Reddit? I often wonder about this.

Honestly, the bar is so low to be President that there is only one requirement: Money. Lots of it. And to tell the truth, it’s been like that for generations. Whomever spends the most, wins. Welcome to Capitalism, kids!

A red panda. Sure, my cats would freak the hell out, but a red panda would quickly use their zen powers to calm them down.

Bots, man. Bots.

So, you’re looking for a more ‘consequence-free’ instance? Is that an accurate statement?

I view moderation as ‘the rules of the house’. When you go to another person’s house, you are expected to abide by their (hopefully sane and sensible) rules. If you don’t, you are asked to leave. Sometimes, you are forcibly removed if things escalate. If you don’t like the rules of the house, or you can’t find common ground with the people there, don’t go there.

I just don’t answer any call from a number that I don’t recognize. If it’s something important, they’ll leave a message. If they don’t, then I’ll forget about it and go on with my day.

There is always hope. It just depends on how much effort you personally are willing to put in to help change the things you’re seeing. There are several movements (50501 and Indivisible are two that immediately spring to mind) with millions of members that are currently fighting to change things. Get involved.

Or what kind of boss she has. When I see stuff like that, I always make sure to tip well.

Treating waitstaff or any other retail/restaurant worker poorly.

He also never said who he was going to make America great again for.

I believe that the more wealth a person has, the more likely it is that they abused and harmed others to achieve that wealth. Therefore, the more wealthy a person is, the less I trust and respect them.

That’s what I was going to say - a LOT more back issues. Chiropractors would be overjoyed.
