Need a politics-free safe space? It's called "going for a walk"
"Why do people want to talk about stuff that affects their daily lives so damn much???"
I just want a picture of a got dang hot dog
Need a politics-free safe space? It's called stop supporting people who want me dead.
Like I genuinely get mad when people say stuff like "I don't want politics in my x" or whatever, because YEAH. ME FUCKING TOO. Do you know how much I would love not feeling on the defensive at all times due to the pending casual extermination of people like me that you are either supporting or ignoring?????? If all the libs wanted me to be a lib like them they could have simply not made me life hell.
This is the point everyone misses. They forget that other people have problems even if it's not happening to them
Lemmy has some very aggressive communists.
I’ve been lucky enough to dodge the crazy right wingers though.
Almost like the very aggressive communists have a nose for right wing nut jobs and relentlessly hound them until they log out
i wonder if maybe not having right wingers has something to do with having aggressive communists to run hem off.
No. It must be lib magic
It's like studying an ecosystem; once you see the fascists, the aggression of the communists suddenly makes sense
I'm getting the impression from Lemmy that there's an overrepresentation of the particular demographic of comfortable middle-aged bookish software engineers who live in the US or Canada.
It's reddit rejects so what do you think
I'm fine with politics on the internet, but why spam it on a memes community...
Point me to a time/place when politics were not completely intertwined with meme communities.
Oh, right. That doesn't actually exist.
Now this is a post I can get behind.
Take a hike, hug a tree, run your fingers through blades of grass, stare at nature and take it in.
Maybe even get a cheeky grill in while you're at it 
Grillpill me, baby
Alright so what you need is 3 large portobello mushrooms, ¼ cup canola oil (or oil of your choice), ¼ cup balsamic vinegar, 3 tablespoons chopped onion, and 4 minced cloves garlic.
First Clean the mushrooms; remove stems, reserving them for another use. Place mushroom caps gill-side up in a shallow dish.
Then Combine oil, balsamic vinegar, onion, and garlic in a small bowl. Pour mixture evenly over mushroom caps; let marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
Go and Preheat the grill to medium-high heat; grease the grate.
Lastly, Grill those suckers over the hot grill until caramelized and tender, about 5 minutes per side; serve warm.
If I wasn't a slave constantly in fear of malnourishment, illness, homelessness, police violence, jail and/or pain, I might not care so much.
Just work harder, plebe. Everything is working just fine (for me)
Lies! I went outside and I saw a poster about CLIMATE CHANGE, and then I turned the corner and heard a family complaining about minimum wage being too low! So unfair, I just want to be ignorant of other people's suffering.
Also every person who bitches about safe spaces: "ban dresses on men because it makes me feel funny"
You know how if a pipeline is blocked, the pressure will continue to build up, backing up with oil, seeping it into everything nearby because it can't go forward, until eventually a rupture occurs? That's why "everything is political these days."
My main problem is that most of the memes aren't even funny.
Make memes that are funny and then we can talk
I'm genuinely curious what's the difference between talking about our lives and politics?
Talking about inconveniences and commiserating with others is just life. Acknowledging systemic issues may be the source of your misfortune is politics.
