Now stage a diorama depicting the last supper using marshmallow Peeps, and then set that Kenmore to “Betray Jesus”…

Nah, it would never happen.

We would end up with comprehensive gun control reform before we ran out of our precious billionaires.

On Hitler’s birthday, no less…

One can make useful items out of wood.

Guillotines, for example…

While the communities you view may differ from my own experience, I would say that political and news themed communities have had an uptick in aggression.

My sense is that it is less about the overall population on Lemmy, but more about the polarization of news and political topics in our society. If there were truly a force actively trying to promote a culture war to prevent a class war, I’d say they are doing an effective job.

Outside of news/politics communities, postings, and (directly or indirectly) related comments (or commenters), I have not experienced an increase in outright negativity and rudeness.

Just like in any written dialogue, I think some expressions of humor can be written or received poorly, lending to a received sense of rudeness—and those moments sometimes serve as reinforcement of actual offensive aggression observed elsewhere, you dick /s.

Jokes aside, I do appreciate you drawing attention to it, as a reminder for each of us to do our part to express ourselves more clearly—allowing for discussion, disagreement, sarcasm, and humor while maintaining respect and civility.

And, of course, continue to block users and communities you find objectionable; though, I would challenge anyone to ask themselves if they are blocking to avoid offensive content, or are they blocking to avoid content which does not align with their views. Silencing different points of view, ultimately, only expedites the original problem.

In only the most playful and harmless spirit of sarcasm, it kinda reads like, “you are immortal if you make choices which do not kill you”.

And as an extension, “if you choose to survive long enough, that will eventually kill you, as well”.

It sounds like a complicated way of describing an instinctively non-suicidal existence.

That was on the corner of Electric Ave and Mason Street in Somerville, MA. I used to live very near there.

I also expect the community to form some sort of vigilance committee to get volunteers on the streets to do what the person who was recording doing, only hopefully with more presence.

Maybe it’s points of contact?

Two feet for the urinal.

Two feet and a seat for the toilet?

I remember thinking the giant on/off toggle in the Time Machine preferences back in those days was the first step toward migrating iOS interface elements into Mac OS.

It hasn’t progressed quite as I was expecting, but the System Preferences UI in recent Mac OS releases is somehow worse than anything I could have anticipated.

Don’t you dare give consumers what they want.

I generally like Marvel film and TV content, but would prefer to have the studio pause for a while.

Not because of this Jonathan Majors thing, but because I still like Marvel, but have no interest in any of its new content.

I’d rather have nothing and build up a desire for it, than be flooded with content and have no interest.

It’s possible he may be in the same situation you are—trying to figure you out.

I just watched The Boys season 4, and it was real-life headlines like this that stood out as “too extreme” to fit in the ultra-violent fantasy world of real life fascist superheroes.

Yet, in the REAL real-world, this doesn’t seem out of place at all.

Tomorrow is Evacuation Day in Boston—we could totally make them all “leave by sea” in observance…

Pretty sure heaven is a halfpipe.
