I can see why you call it disingenuous but the point of the matter is that children are getting shot. You can break it down into as many catagories as you like, the bottom line is that far too many school aged children are dying violent deaths in a world that has enough knowledge and resources to know what the solutions are to prevent it. The only thing keeping that going at this point is political fuckery.

They quite literally only stated facts

Except for the preface stating the opinion that people that let their cats roam are shit.

See, this is the fucking problem right here. You are a commoner. The person you replied to is a commoner. Compared to the ultra rich anybody but that tiny tiny subset of people are commoners. As long as we keep name calling and pointing fingers at each other this shit will never change and we'll be rolling around in the mud until we all fry under the sun.

I understand your frustration, we all feel the same way. Let's direct that frustration at the people and the system that is telling us to turn on each other simply so we are blind to how we're all being played for fools.

I was going to comment something to make some more fun of you, but nothing I can say can do a better job at that than your own words here.

I was trying to point out how an act can be innocent in one context like your example of kissing your brother's newborn on the forehead can be sexual in another context. Like kissing your female subordinate on the lips while holding her head with both hands. I'm baffled that you're consistently missing the point here.

Sure because I changed my baby sister's diaper this one time when she was 3 months old so it's totally okay to pull down my coworkers pants and run a wet wipe down their asscrack in front of everybody. I normally don't like butts, let alone wiping them down but you see she just landed a major contract for our company and I was overcome with joy.

One time I went to a bar in Mallorca, asked "dos cervezas, por favor" and the guy went: "Was? Zwei bier??"

It was surreal to realise that nobody there actually spoke any Spanish. Outside of the tourist traps Mallorca still has some authenticity here and there but it's like the locals just hide in the shadows for the most part.

Exactly, Covid is a variant of a pretty well known class of virusses. The research on mRNA vaccines was pretty advanced as far as I gathered but testing them in trials isn't something you can easily do. There's a lot of hoops to jump through to justify trials with human subjects. When the burden of disease isn't very impactful it's hard to justify trials. Once covid came screeching around the corner suddenly the justification was easy to argue.

The starting point is a reference to school shootings where the police were too afraid to go into the school to stop the shooter.

And compete with amazon? By virtue of the sheer amount of wealth Bezos has accumulated it's far too late for that. You can't compete. Amazon can just sell at a loss until my new business tanks. I absolutely agree that amazon is a fantastic product from a consumer standpoint* but it's now a behemoth that is basically immune to any fair competition. It's said that America is the land of opportunity but at this point these massive corporations have long since used up that opportunity and are working hard to make sure nobody can follow them. That's simply not fair, and not a proportional reward for bezos' innovation. I'm not saying take it all away from him like some here are saying, I'm saying it's time to realise that while innovation needs to be rewarded it should be reasonable and not be an uncontrollable and never ending leech on society.

It seems that my settings were all correct and it was working all along. At least if I visit gonewild I do see the posts. I was just confused that I'm not seeing NSFW posts in the lemmynsfw feed but I'm starting to think I'm just misunderstanding the fundamentals of lemmy. I'm still a little lost about how to navigate this universe, as it were. If I look at lemmynsfw all I see is informational posts like this one, no actual NSFW content at all. Am I supposed to go to communities within lemmynsfw? Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask these kind of questions by the way.

I'm a massive newbie to everything fediverse so I'm a little confused what this means exactly. I'm not seeing any NSFW stuff, but I am logged in. However, my account is registered to a different instance. Does this post mean I should be logged into an account registered on the lemmynsfw instance? Or is the reason I'm not seeing the NSFW content separate from this?
