I especially enjoy the one that says "Mr. and his Beast Laser", implying that his first name is Mr. and his surname is Beast

[-] yoriaiko 5 points 4 hours ago

That, or, hear me out, the owners of these publishers are pushing an agenda to shape the public narrative around certain issues.

[-] lowleekun@ani.social 1 points 13 minutes ago

Deflect from real issues, divide the people to weaken them and keep them entertained.

Ohh how often i hear "Revolution is so bloody, you would not want to witness one". Ohh is it as bloody as corporations milking people dry around the world, having the blood of millions on their hand? Not even gonna talk about peaceful revolutions. Another classic "We will stand up when it gets too bad". Ohh like in north korea? When exactly is bad enough? When corporations have absolute control and surveilance (can't be too long with Palantir grabbing Data from more and more citizens)?

People HATE talking about global warming and the rise of fascism. Like i do not mean online. But have you tried talking about this irl? I get shut down so fast i could explode. Everytime. But what grinds my gears most? That i KNOW i am not doing enough. That i myself sit in that comfy seat at my comfy, nonsense-job. While injustice grows all around me and i can for the love of god not find the people i can fight together with.

Mr Beast is a YouTube guy right? The guy with the dead psychopath eyes in pictures?

What's he got to do with anything outside of YouTube, let alone some sort of driving force across all of global society?

[-] YourMomsTrashman@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

He's got a powerful laser

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

My eyes went wrong and read the second one as "it's impossible to maintain a class relationship" and you know what? Yeah fuck the bourgeoise.

[-] MrLLM@ani.social 20 points 14 hours ago

I think I’m out of the loop. Can someone point out what Mr Breast has to do with the question?

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago

I wouldn't be friends with any girl who was attracted to Mr Beast

[-] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Read the preview texts of the articles. They mention Mr Beast and his role in friendships

[-] TotallynotJessica 15 points 9 hours ago

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 15 points 14 hours ago

THAT DAMN FUCKING LASER!

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 21 points 16 hours ago

Damn I've got so many women to cut ties with, since apparently we can't be just friends and my wife would probably not be okay with me lusting after all of them.

Oh wait, I forgot this isn't a twisted manosphere world, it's real life!

[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 14 hours ago

If you can't befriend them, join them?

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 7 points 13 hours ago

Girl, some days...

[-] TherapyGary 36 points 18 hours ago

Lmao is there context, or is this just an absurd shitpost? I think it's funnier if it's just pure absurdity

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 17 hours ago

It is absurdism.

[-] DrPop@lemmy.world 16 points 15 hours ago

Newsflash, you can be attracted to someone and still be their friend. Just don't be wierd.

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 15 hours ago

Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
