Someone just asked the opposite of this question here and I was wondering if there are cases were you're just not interested in something but you know the community is great nonetheless.

Not particularly into guys, but I love women who are into them.

No, not really. Do you need a diagram and flowchart? ๐Ÿ˜

(Come to think of it: An awesome use case for gen AI would be a bot that generates memes and weird images on demand)

(not my meme, but I'll add) Some missing context - Professor Chang, pictured in the meme - is also shouting at something that clearly isn't gay.

Professor Chang is essentially a continuous uncomfortable non-sequiter of nonsense.

Makes a lot more sense with the added context, thank you ๐Ÿ˜‚

If you have never watched community, I am genuinely jealous of the adventure you have ahead of you. Phenomenal show all around! Except for Pierce, he's a GDB.

Furries are cool people ~~and the backbone of modern society~~

[-] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

This. To be clear I have absolutely no problem with furries existing and I believe anything less than letting y'all be would be tantamount to treason.

But God damn I just cannot understand it. I don't get it. And it weirds me out.

Like I said, I would actually fight to defend your right to wear your fur suit out in public. But I'm also going to make fun of you because man it's just weird.

Although I did have a coworker (I work in IT so this isn't actually that surprising) who was a furry and he tried to meow at me one time when I called his name. Don't do that. That was weird. Just tell me what you did to fix the computer man.

Pineapple on pizza. You're wrong and I wanna fight you but we can still be friends and have a good time over drinks.

[-] Trail@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

No I am not wrong. And I can raise you with pineapple on burger.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

Grilled pineapple on a burger.

For me it's Metal music. It's just absolutely not my genre but an overwhelming amount of metalheads I met were just the nicest, most wholesome and fun people all around.

[-] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

There is research and papers showing that heavy music in general can actually be therapeutic and make someone calmer, rather than the perceived opposite effect. It can be a great outlet. I listen to metal, heavy music, all the time but when I have used it as a coping mechanism, i.e. an outlet for stress, it has definitely allowed me to release such tension. Not only that, but singing/screaming to vocals along to the music surely does release all of energy, and while there are outsiders who might perceive the music as 'angry' the incorrect connection they're making is that anger is an energetic emotion, as in unreleased energy/tension. Metal isn't angry music, it is energetic. That is why it makes such good workout music. It stimulates and satisfies that part of our lives, letting us be some of the 'nicest, most wholesome and fun people all around'.

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Books. I'm dyslexic as fuck but heavy readers are mostly chill people.

[-] Plum@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Did you ever get into audio books? It's nice to have someone else read to you at bedtime or during a commute.

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Ooohh ooh audio books are my bag baby yeah.

Podcasts too.

It's all about timbre and accent. I could listen to the right voice read the phone book.

[-] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

See, I have ebooks I want in audio, so I have to settle for 'robot' android voice when there is no 'audiobook option'

Any good podcast recs? Any genre/subject is fine.

Ancient civilisations. Noiser network. Paul McGann is the Narrator.

I have always been a liberal leftist but I actually really enjoy being around old school, fiscally conservative Republicans, when they aren't talking about politics. They tend to be softies on the inside - they value strength and tradition and care deeply for their communities and families; often more directly demonstrating that care than liberals tend to. They also don't accept the victim mentality and tend to shoot straight with their words, and can be hilariously harsh. They are responsible and tend to follow through with their commitments.

The problem is, I can't really stand being around them because they can't help themselves bringing up the dumbest opinions of all time and they typically don't like digging into fact based thinking.

Same now as 20 years ago, when they would say shit like, "pretty cold out today - don't seem like global warming to me! Hahaha" etc etc

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago

they value strength and tradition

And this is good because...?

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Strength is good, tradition can be anything

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Strength is good

Is shit that fascists say. Just a heads up.

And "tradition," at least in this context, is almost always based in bigotry.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Fascists say some things that are normal, like anyone else; they just also say a lot of things that are evil. This one is normal. Strength is used as a tool by fascists but it in and of itself is not inherently bad.

Republican tradition is generally something that hurts our ability to make social progress, yes.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

"Strength" when used in political contexts, is almost always related to some form of oppression at the very least.

I am struggling to think of a time when hearing a politician speak about "strength" could be seen as a good thing. Perhaps briefly, directly after 9/11, but before we decided to invade the wrong countries? Even then, it was more about unity than any kind of strength.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Strength, as in the power to exert your will on others, is a dangerous concept. This is the sense in which fascists use it.

Strength, as in the power to stand up for yourself, is good. We should all have the strength to fight against tyranny.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

I guess I just wouldn't use that word in the second case. Determination maybe?

[-] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Dude, relax. "Strength in numbers" "Strength in a Union" "Extra-Strength Tylenol" we are NOT giving the Fascists a monopoly on strength.

If anything, anti fascist philosophy is based on the idea that you need strength to counter the fascists.

(On the other hand doesn't look like anti fascism is working at the moment, but if anything people need to be stronger in their opposition these days.)
