  • Teams is the fuckin worst.

    At this point I prefer to Skype before I’d teams, and I hate Skype with a passion already.

    Call quality is abysmal compared to meet, it’s a continuous crash, feature suddenly inexplicably doesn’t work, and what not more. There is always somebody who can’t get video turned on all of the sudden, always effin around with audio and this morning o cut off a teams call and decided to call the person by phone because that at least worked.

    Fuck. Teams.





  • He’s awesome because he fucked a porn star while his wife was pregnant?

    Or is he awesome because he stole from his own charity?

    Is he awesome because he’s so disrespectful?

    Is he so awesome because he goes on these weird nonsensical rants like the nuclear one?

    Is he awesome because he estranged all the US allies, making the US weaker than ever before?

    Is he awesome because he withdrew from a base in such a hurry that when Russian forces took over they still could.use all the food supplies left behind?

    Is he awesome because he wants to be a dictator? Not my words, his.

    Is he awesome because he completely ignored Corona, saying a miracle would cure it, and then edging people on to take ivermectin, then talking about injecting bleach? Causing millions extra to unnecessarily die, btw.

    Why exactly IS he awesome? What part, that I might have missed, is awesome?

    And just to be clear: all the above happened, don’t even start with “that never happened” because then you need to stop watching right wing news outlets and just… I dunno, go out and touch grass?


  • not safe debating

    Sorry, just to comment on this one: I really dislike that phrase, its use is part of the reason why we are where we are. You ARE safe, all the time. It’s not like you talking in a lemmy instance puts you at risk of being shot in the head.

    You may encounter assholes, and opinions that you don’t like but that doesn’t make you unsafe. Uncomfortable, mayby, for having to read information you oppose?

    A black man driving and stopped by US police can claim he feels not safe. We lemmies are perfectly fine. I think many people need to grow a little thicker skin in that regard.




  • Should you though?

    I get it, it’s annoying, but the entire “let’s block people with opinions I don’t like” is probably the single source of pillerization and increased extremism on the internet.

    If I’m not allowed to have a discussion or disagreement with you, and get kicked out instead, I’ll just go to places where they will talk with me and where it’s chock full of other idiots like me who are much more extreme and in our safety bubble we can all continue not beat the same dead horse and circle jerk and make eachother more extreme because there are no dissenting voices, there are no voices or reason and calm, there are no cooler heads around.

    This entire moderation where we simply started dumping people with who we disagree has made the world a.much, much worse place.

    Granted, it sucks to have to deal with crazies and extremists, but at least whilst they’re in the group we can all keep them grounded in reality.
