Steve walks warily down the street With his bus pass held down low Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet Transit ready to go

Are you ready? Hey, are you ready for this? Are you hanging on, or sat in a seat? Out of the doorway, passengers skip Back out into the street, yeah

Another one rides the bus!

Riding the bus down the boulevard, and the place was pretty packed!
Couldn't get a seat so I had to stand, with the perverts in the back!
It was smelling like a locker room, there was junk all over the floor!
We're already packed in like sardines, and we're stopping to pick up more!

Doug Henning was very nearly Prime Minister, except no one voted for the Natural Law Party.

Thank you as well MrShankles! I left reddit for lemmy. I think my next move will be a daily walk to the coffee shop and see if I can meet some like-minded folks in real-time. It's been too long and the human touch is sometimes needed to re-center yourself. My fear is that everyone out there are assholes or, worse yet, I'm the asshole.

I wish people would be at least a little more normal. It's a bit weird when you join Lemmy and the front page is full of furries, femcels and other niches you never heard of.

But I get it. There aren't many other places left for unusual people. So I guess you better get used to it.

Unlike Reddit, Lemmy makes no attempt to spoon feed and algorithmically tailor to what it believes will garner the largest audience.

You have to do a little curating here. Block users, communities, and even whole servers that you're not interested in and suddenly the whole experience changes.

I very very rarely block users or servers because I don't want to put myself into an echo chamber, but I have a long list of communities blocked because I have no interest in them whatsoever. There could be anime girls posted every 10 seconds with thousands of upvotes for all I know, but I've blocked them because I don't care. They can continue having fun in their community, I can be blissfully unaware of it. Win win.

Make the threadiverse your own and it's far more enjoyable than everything all at once.

I feel there's more unusual people than nahh, but nobody talks about (due to risk of presenting as abnormal). But if you can set aside the fear of being ostracized... everyone is pretty strange in their own ways. Show me a "normal" person, and I'll show you someone who's still learning. Appreciate you as you are though, we're all out here learning <3

I’ve never met a normal person in my life. Errbody be crazy in their own ways. I say this as a very average-looking dude.

You can do an easy test. Use a sentence like "windows is the obviously the best operating system, they integrate AI so well"

If you have no answer, not a single downvote you are doing lemmy wrong xD

Jokes asides welcome to you and others in a collection of places where freedom and community truly mean something. UwU

let me try:

Apple make the best hardware, nothing can compare to my M2 and it's under-sized ssd. The fact that I can have such good hardware and still have a full Unix system is unbeatable.

Will that work?

I use Debian (mostly) btw

Nice try buddy, but you're wrong about that. Sorry to have to be the one to tell you, just how wrong you are about that... but you are wrong. I dunno about what exactly, but I do know I'm right and you're wrong /s

Glad to have ya around friend <3

I believe you are right about others being wrong. Except (rightfully so) when you are right about other being right. Or wrong about other wrong. Am i right ?

I would, but even more, id prefer that you stay on topic instead of just resorting to ad hominem. if they say something untrue, show them to be lying.

it's not a logical argument, no. it is a rhetorical argument, though. and it's bad faith.

Not sure why you have that much of it. My frontpage (not subscriptions) is mostly meme, open source news, and political stuff. I don't see furries often.

Depends on the server you sign up for. We're on a furry server and the entire local feed is just furry stuff (mostly art posts).

I don't see much of either in my feed, though I already heard about them. Curious now, which other niche stuff you see lots around here?

I know you are, but what am I?

"I'm rubber, and you're glue. Whatever you say to me, bounces off and sticks to you!"

I never understood that retort as a kid, cause I was a little too literal lol. But I always loved the spirit of it
