Instances are like subreddits where the mods are top level admins, and there is no central admin above them. Anyone who wants to create an instance can host their own server. Communities can be duplicated between instances so you could have dozens of c/gaming communities rather than a single community for a topic which stifles engagement a bit. The cost of hosting is paid by the admins of an instance or by donations. Sponsors and ads are not currently feasible.
Unmoderated instances allow any new instance’s content to be displayed for their users.
He just like me fr.
He gets a pass on this one though. His sister’s large breasts are quite admirable.
Grownups and grownups 2. Definitely two of the movies of all time.
There is no objective purpose to life. Having a hobby is a popular way to enjoy the limited time available.
The name comes from the USSR’s practice of deploying tanks to crush dissent.
Not sure if that was a joke or a sincere lack of familiarity. What tankies want is a restoration and supremacy of the USSR to spread what they called communism.
Yeah pronouns can get really messy. I try to avoid them as much as I can in technical writing so I can follow my own sentences lol.
I find it most inconvenient when “they” is used to refer to one person and a group in the same paragraph.
“Asians are smart because they’re obedient”
“Black guys have big dicks because they’re farm animals”
“Jews control the banks because they’re evil and want to control our way of life”
Not sure how that’s considered good racism.
Big yikes. I mean, sheesh. OP’s “Jews control the media” post.
If you think that right wing authoritarianism is communism, I’ve got a democratic republic to sell. The only way tankie logic is consistent is if you believe that Nazis were socialists and North Korea is democratic. But somehow those are not true yet the USSR was communist? You gotta stop gulping down the imperialist propaganda. I could forgive someone for believing it during the Red Scare, but these days there’s no excuse.
Tankie apologetics are a farce.
For example, Karl Marx. Clearly an intellectual as evidenced by his writings. But his colorblind/radical centrist take on minority rights fits right in with modern conservative extremists. And then the way he framed his opinions led to far right authoritarian regimes co-opting the label of communism.
FTB Chunks user: you have no power here.
My bad. I didn’t know philosophy was unwelcome here.
Yes. Man-made and artificial things are natural.
Imaging thinking you’re an alpha male while not having a team of goons to break you out of jail so you can flee to South America.
Facebook. Simple as.
