What kind of diversity of thought are you looking for?

Could you give an example?

Is there an intellectually honest point of view that Donald Trump isn’t a fascist?

You sound (mostly) libertarian.

Thanks for the explanation though.

This sounds like some kind of an enlightened centrist take.

Educate me though, can you briefly describe your political philosophy?

Conservatives can quite frankly go somewhere else.

Their policies are terrible and the only redeeming qualities of most countries we live in are socialist.

Lemmy should reflect the actual political spectrum which is (IMO) Social Democrats on the far right and Tankies on the far left.

You don’t use a Google account to watch YouTube videos and never allow cookies or browser history.

Every single time I open YouTube it’s as if I am a new user who has never accessed the site before.

Fair warning, I’m not here to judge but take it from someone who spent a lot of time trying to consume the most outrageous internet content to desensitise themselves - it all catches up eventually.

Anyway, this is some of the stuff that comes to mind:

Botfly extractions

Teenage girl suicide (hanging in a tree - too young to die IMO)

Microwaving kittens

Toybox killer transcript and tapes (I don’t like torturing people who don’t deserve it)

People having sex with aborted foetuses

It’s fucking discriminatory in my opinion and it has always made me uncomfortable filling out the blood donation paperwork.

We can reliably screen for HIV (all blood donations are) why the fuck are homosexuals discriminated against over this.

• Gretchen = IT
• Vince = High School Coach
• Gus = Accountant
• Spinelli = graphic Designer
• Mikey = Shop assistant/aspiring playwright

Twitter was always shit.

Like all social media.

I have a list of things that transcend invention and are actually some of humans greatest achievements:

• The bicycle
• The piano
• The internet
• Saturn V

Fair enough, younger people do things that may not have been the best idea in hindsight.

Glad it’s going well for you both in any case.

A little creepy but glad it worked out for you.

Hot. No sugar. Black as my heart.

Yes I was an emo during my teenage years, how did you guess?

Hah I also watched Bojack for the memes too.

I thought it was good, not the most amazing thing ever.

HSACWDTK?DTKT?LFO!

Nah it doesn’t require violence but when the camera pans away as the villain dies it’s a bit unsatisfactory.

Or a large rock just falls on them it’s a bit cliche.

Avatar is set in a world where people use fire and no one is burnt to death? If that was shown people would really fear/loathe the fire lord etc etc. it’s not required but there were definitely parts in the show where it felt like the show creators were limited by it being a kids show.

Yes.

I always watch these shows in their entirety because I’m worried I will miss the part that makes them so popular.

Avatar is a kids show and that’s obvious when no deaths are ever really shown on screen.

Azula is ripe for some really graphic content but it’s always just alluded and hinted at offscreen.

Yeah it definitely had its moments.

I really did like Iroh’s story.

I think Avatar would have been a much better show if it was targeting adults and didn’t shy away from the more violent/adult themes moments.

Community is one of my all time favourite shows but lots of people just don’t get it. It was never a popular show when it originally aired.

I remember googling ‘community’ and the top result was the Wikipedia article for community it was that way going on season 3.

I agree somewhat, I never actually finished watching it, I was shocked when it just seemed to continue season after season. The show turned into a zombie.

Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I also watched The Legend of Korra, which was also ok but not as good as the first show.
