Children don’t know anything yet. They haven’t lived enough to know anything yet. Because they’re children.

Wait until you’re grown up, you’ll understand that we shouldn’t listen to teenagers about how the world should work.

Gender is just a grammar thing anyways.

I have no problem with ditching the grammar rule as a synonym for sex.

So from now on men and women should really only refer to sex, and that’s fine. People don’t have genders anyways, words do.

You spend too much time online.

I don’t subscribe to the idea that tweets or message boards or ideas or ‘silence’ is violence.

The upvote system was invented to put relevant discussion to the top, and hide irrelevant discussion. What people have done with it is use it as a like/dislike button.

If that’s what it was, that’s what it would be called. Like Facebook, which has an actual ‘like’ button

But I do think people who even interact with the system are losers. That’s my personal, anecdotal, opinion of them

Tech bros and communist teenagers aren’t ‘mainstream’.

Don’t believe everything you read on social media

Sure, but they’re children

Strange, it’s displaying as if I replied to a different comment than I intended to.

But really, I’m just mocking people who downvote others because they don’t agree with their comment. I think it’s really lame.

I’d like a place to talk to people, about contentious issues. I personally never use the downvote button and only occasionally even use the upvote button.

When I see a perfectly reasonable comment with -50 downvotes within minutes of posting … it makes me laugh at everyone who just can’t hit that downvote button fast enough.

So I’m really just mocking those people

I want to hear it.

And it’s a discussion community, there’s a topic and people respond. If you don’t like it just move on. No reason to tell anyone to shut up.

I get downvoted a lot too. But after reading this, I think the downvote buttons might actually mean you’re right, because there are a lot of retards on lemmy who drool their way through life and have no idea what they’re talking about.

Because you’re right. I can tell by the downvotes. The more you get, the fighter you are

There should be something to this. A lot of parents keep their children off of the internet, but having young children accessing ‘most’ of the internet is a bad fucking idea

Parents, monitor and limit your kids online. I know it’s hard as fuck, I know other kids will think it’s weird that your kid doesn’t know the new tiktok thing. Do it anyway

This summary doesn’t tell me what they are actually doing, though

DOWN WITH THE GOP!

Well that’s the difference, most people will pirate when it’s more convenient to do so. And as long as prices are so exorbitant.

I pirate hockey games, because watching hockey is ridiculously inconvenient and/or expensive.

I do not pirate music anymore, or video games because Apple Music is more convenient and not very expensive and steam has all the games I’d ever want to play, and has enough sales that it’s not that expensive either.

I don’t pirate movies and tv shows because Netflix and Disney really cover anything I want to watch and anything else I share a crave subscription, like for Game of Thrones

But I do pirate hockey games.

I’ve heard this, I should log into the website and look. I use an app though

You’re prolific! (And quick as a bullet lol)

Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that you were

I’d just like to be able to block bot posts

I saw this posted to 2 othe communities scrolling down and thought “oh I’d better repost this to ‘technology’!

You beat me again! Lol

They should just let users ban other users entirely from the app

There’s no ‘both sides’ it’s all ‘media’ and they all really really suck
