So are non tankies. Tankies don’t have a monopoly on being closed minded, being jerks, etc. lemmy.world is really bringing out the misanthropy in me today, for example.

Edit: Ugh, was just reminded about some of the things the tankies are saying. There’s no comparison.

I mean, most of .world is toxic, so…

I’m less inclined to “both sides” this one. The ganging up included admins. I get they’re humans, but this seemed to me to be a pretty petty thing from people outside the community that got the admins involved in the first place and then the admin applied a double standard as a wave of other .world users continued to dogpile on. Emotions aren’t really an excuse for being a jerk. Most of the other reasons for being a jerk aren’t really great either.

With how .world mods treated them recently and how .world users interacted with that community generally, even .ml and hexbear look better. Not a great look for .world

I’ve seen one of their users say it’s ok for middle eastern countries to oppress LGBTQ people in an LGBTQ community. Haven’t seen much else from there because that’s when I decided the ml instances were more trouble than their worth and blocked them.

It’s different when our side does it

Long form gaming videos like 8 hour review of Morrowind, 12 hour review of Oblivion, or 20 hour review of Skyrim.

I like smaller art museums. They’re full of things to chat about, usually have some ways to bring out some red flags if they’re there, and it’s usually quiet enough to have a conversation.

Nooo, my brain turned enimal into a pokemon

FBI seized the website and shut the company down.

Even conversations.

Vnewsers?

Surrender, get weirdly upset about a bot you can block. Toemato, tohmahto.

So jihad instead of blocking it? Cool, sounds totally worth it.

Because they don’t want to take 3 seconds and block the user.

U the Klingon opera is good for sleeping if cacophony is relaxing to you.

In the US. My partner has health insurance through her job, but she works remotely and the company is based in a different state so the insurance is, too. Partner severed her Achilles tendon about two months ago. Because of confusion about her insurance, every appointment related to the initial injury took an extra hour or more while the office staff tried to get in touch with the insurance company. Her MRI was cancelled because the provider of the MRI thought she was uninsured. She had to reschedule and ended up paying out of pocket for it to ensure it got done. Getting reimbursed out of her HSA took several hours of compiling receipts and filing out forms. After all that, and being insured, she still paid $4000 out of pocket. There’s also a very low limit to the amount of physical therapy sessions insurance will cover plus there’s a copay for every session, so that’s an ongoing cost as well.

Autocorrect is rooting for you.
