    That doesn’t fit on a t-shirt. /s

    If burning a flag is political protest, why not burning crack into your lungs? It’s political speech to protest the government and its world wide drug war!

    P.S. Stay away from crack and coke, dopamine exhaustion is real and fucked

    They were my boss. We’d get out the kitchen and go to the bar next door. They weren’t as terrible as they could’ve been, but definitely one of those “I don’t care till it affects me” conservatives.

    They let up on the alphabet people jokes after their kid came out, still not an ally.

    Believe it or not I’ve had worse more conservative business owners in my career.

    I just hope to one day be able to be in business for myself and to stop slaving away for someone else to gain more means to produce.

    Money isn’t speech because me buying crack isn’t protected by the constitution. If I can’t do illegal things with my money why can they?

    Yeah, I didn’t realize at the time.

    Same guy was memeing hard about election 2016 and how you’d never see a self respecting conservative throw a temper tantrum about losing, we fell out of contact by the time January 6th happened because he kept calling me nicknames alluding to various communist leaders.

    That and the same tired “LGBTQMNOP Alphabet people” statement I’ve heard several times a week since ‘05.

    Heard a Catholic guy go all nuts about the fact that he had hard limits on the fish he could catch, but the Ojibwa could fish unlimited in their own sovereign lands. I tried for a few minutes to explain it’s their right they were given in recompense, and is hardly any compensation.

    He just had to go on about liberals and eco terrorists and how they should be mad at Ojibwa fishing instead of the keystone pipeline.

    There were too many things to unpack in that 2 minute conversation.

    Btw, nice to see you in the wild outside of the folkpunk community!

    I wndwyt!

    I started my journey to sobriety 3 years ago and never really made any leeway, but the seed was planted.

    I’ve been more mindful of my alcohol consumption for about 2 months in which time I’ve only been drunk twice, yet have allowed myself to drink all that I want.

    It’s been a crazy road of self discovery, and after a lot of soul seeking that goes back decades I finally realized what I was trying to escape from, and now I’m on the road to be the person I’ve always wanted to be, and I don’t even really want to drink because of how opposed to my goals it is in every way.

    It’s been crazy.

    Currently I’m working on a full lemmy migration, looking around and figuring out how to access everything.

    For some reason the usual search method isn’t working to let me view most communities here with my blahaj account, but I can see them publicly, and I can access everything from an alt infosec account I made.

    Currently I’m in the gathering and planning phase of my cybersecurity venture in my career.I’ve spent most of my working life in kitchens, but I’ve always been a triple boot style power user. I recently got a Google IT Support Cert to try to help me get my foot into the door and open up my horizons to a better more engaging career.

    Same here. I go to Reddit for a specific thing and forget I’m not on lemmy, see some promoted post or whatever, and wonder who would even dare post that shit here, then remember and switch back.

    It’s been nice to be able to reclaim yet another part of my life from advertisements and incessant tracking.

    I’ll be here. I like that it takes a little more effort, it’s a little cumbersome or gatekeepy, but it also seems to keep the vibe more like the early internet and less like whatever it has currently turned into.

    It reminds me of crypto spaces but without the incentive and monetization of action that seems to lead to a scammy and disingenuous feel to the content.

    Fidonet was dope. Something magical about dialing (mostly) local and being able to see stuff so far flung it would cost you hundreds in long distance premiums normally.

    Even if you weren’t a hacker in the modern sense, it was such a good hack in the old school sense that you couldn’t help but feel 1337.

    I definitely see it as a double edge sword. On one hand I don’t mindlessly scroll as much, on the other, the lack of content is just because I’m figuring out the quirks, and I have a feeling finding new and weird communities could be a McGuffin quest.
