Early February 2020. Someone in my main friend-group groupchat posted some news regarding Coronavirus. Me, happy citizen of UnderARockVille said “What the fuck is a Coronavirus?” and got gently made fun of.

A few weeks later aaaaand we were quarantining.

I would like to congratulate you on choosing the most assholish way you could have possibly phrased that :>

I must wonder why not. Like, clearly those things are enriching to you, aren’t they? Why wouldn’t you have learned them on your own terms? Assuming nothing was stopping you? You seem not to be an incurious person? Again, information has never been cheaper, you just have to look for it.

Like I’m not trying to make fun of your explanation or even say you’re wrong. Just… Genuinely wondering how come

The Petty One: Optical Media is Bad. It has always been and always will be. We used it for as long as we did because there was no better choice. But when it came to music I went straight from tape to mp3 because I never trusted CD’s, and I will continue not to trust CD’s.

The Serious One That Might Ruffle Feathers: The entire school curriculum of every country should be wiped out – And replaced with fifteen years of nothing but reading comprehension. We live in an era where information is extremely cheap but knowledge is priceless. And to go from information to knowledge, one needs to have a well developed reading ability and bullshit filter. There’s no point memorising a bunch of nonsense when it is easier and faster to use technology – We stopped doing recitations when we invented writing, you know? – What IS important is understanding what you are seeing and recognising lies for what they are.

Stinky dogs.

They smell like friendship

“EXPENSIVE Candy”

It’s like Free candy, but better because it’s expensive, don’cha know

That’s great for you but I fucked up my hearing by listening to Linking Park on maximum volume in the cheapest Chinese earbuds a third world teenager’s allowance could buy circa 2006.

… And getting stuff from YouTube takes 3% less effort.

Insert SpongeBob clip of Mr. Krabs saying “MONIE!”

Ah I wouldn’t know about THAT. I just download and convert epubs from the likes of z-library/libgen, and have done so since getting my first Kindle circa 2012

What for? Cuz loading pirated books is trivial?

Only if you want to synch reading progress between multiple devices.

I am very sorry and promise to do better in the future.

I agree.

Whow (basedbasedbasedbased)

Run by an open fascist who actively and proudly boosted the Trump campaign = Pro christianity, d’uh.

This guy’s a specialist in saying the quiet part out loud, tbqh.

I’d honestly accept them moving to blue-fucking-sky.

Anything is better than the current state of Xitter.

The excuse to shit on people not like themselves and pretend it is “righteous” and “Not toxic”, I imagine

It’s what most religious concern trolls love about it anyway. Plus in another post they said “religion is an example of non-toxic anti-lgbt” which is like. VERY telling of how they think.

Religious folks who aren’t in it for the excuse to be hateful? You will find them at like. The temple. Or some church-bound charity op. As opposed to hanging out in social media starting shit with people.

I’m anti-religion because religion is an oppressive force by its fundamental nature. Using fear of the supernatural to keep the plebeians obedient.

But of course a fascist would think differently, because your ilk believes repression is good actually.

Now go eat a whole barrel of shit <3

Methinks their cowardice in admitting to what they are is so they can skirt the instance’s rules. Also lots of whining from them about “biased modding” because fediverse administration won’t accept out-and-proud fascism (not in decent instances that people actually want to use, anyway). I imagine this is like their third or fourth alt account after getting their shit kicked in, for being correctly identified as a fascist.

Backseat modding is fine too

Nobody wants you here, fascist. Go back to gargling Elon Musk’s balls on Xitter.
