There were a few for my high school, but one I was there for was when I was sitting in the bus when suddenly everything went quiet (highly unusual). I looked behind myself and everyone was covering their ears, then the smell of gunpowder hit my nose. Some dumb fuck lit a firecracker and tossed it into the middle lane (wtvr it was called) when the bus was driving between the lake and the train tracks. Thank GOD it was a dud. Anyways, I brought this up to the principle and teachers the next day and seemingly no one gave a shit ?? Goes to show how garbage my school was lol

For my college, I can't give specifics but it'd have to be the murders. Very tragic and sad incident

For example one that's baffled me was someone saying they don't believe in bad smells ??

I don't remember it well other than it was on a tumblr blog and as they were answering an anonymous ask they just casually mentioned that with no explanation

My only ideas are either they're filthy rich, have no sense of smell, or somehow think "bad" implies morality so they don't believe smells can be evil which like ?? No ones claiming otherwise lmao

Question is Lemmy.world affiliated with the tankies that made lemmygrad or is it separate? I didn't know about any of this prior so now I'm worried a bit

The only time she'd be right

Man seeing that first point listed here is kinda surreal to see. Because my highschool was in a bumbfuck nowhere yeeyee ass town there were confederate flags everywhere and fake wannabe southerners in cowboy hats (this is a very north state lol) literally the first thing you'd see upon entering the town was one of those flags flying on the right side (tho it slowly got destroyed by the weather until it was taken down thankfully)

Ngl I found out when I first heard the term bi from Mae Borowski in Night In The Woods, I looked it up after and that's how I not only figured out I was bi but a part of the lgbt community in general!

Omg bnnuys !!

Perpetually in low "it is what it is" energy is a myth

I'm so fucking stupid ignore me lakddff ⚰️🚶

Baaaased

Nice freedom of speech there /s

I thought it was also in reference to a previous subreddit that I think was named 195, that had no rules but ended up being bigoted and such. So when 196 was made, a much more progressive/leftwing version, all they technically post are rules (hence the post titles) to further clown on that previous sub

Lately it includes growing gourmet mushrooms, re/learning languages such as Russian and Ukrainian, data organizing stuff (such as assigning each horror movie I've seen with fears from The Magnus Archives, been fixated on horror movies in general so I've also made a tierlist for all the ones I've seen), and sewing/making clothes. I'm looking to maybe have an isopod colony again (properly this time), make fursuits, continue studying wicca/witchcraft stuff, as well as finally get back to art once I'm over this burnout ^^;

Probably about the horror genre, such as movies/games/books/etc, the art of utilizing fear in media, how the genre is unfairly treated, stuff like that

That is very true, the app is definitely not perfect and I still do use desktop for moments like those, I just find that more manageable than it signing me out everytime I'm on certain instances

Also add staying in the corner petting a dog/cat the whole time

I mean considering that the term LGB isn't commonplace, is purely associated with transphobic activist groups, the article subject can very easily include trans perspectives (or even just imply it with using the full term LGBT), we're already in an incredibly hostile political environment in terms of trans rights, and is more than likely a conscious choice to specifically remove the T (unless it's a spelling error, which in that case they should proofread better) I'd say it's fair to criticize their choice

Oh no I specifically clarified it's not about the person (and I can be sympathetic towards them) it's just that stances that fundamentally hinge on hating the very thing it's being applied to (in this case society) will only damage that subject (generally, there may be caveats I'm not thinking about idk). And I'm not referring to people selectively caring about certain things either, I'm talking like genuinely not understanding why we should support each other or help each other. For example, I had an irl discussion with someone that just devolved into "why should everyone have a home? Why should we care for others? Why can't we just decide who gets a home or not?"

Essentially, imagine if there was a food bank run by a group of people. Now imagine if at least one of those people just doesn't care about the safety of their food, doesn't understand why people should have access to food, looks down on everyone, or believes there's no point in having a food bank, and these beliefs have major effects on the way the food bank is run. Is this productive or will this just harm the cause?

Idk I'm just sick of trying to find solutions to problems in society, only to run in circles with someone just for them to drop "oh I just don't care about people lol"
