Twanger. The anger that former twitter users bring to a platform, expecting the people to be like those they interacted with on the bird app.

"She was full of twanger when she discovered that Bob voted for Bernie."

@ichbindabomb all my sex tapes, my wife just used photo shop to replace me with all my friends.

If you can show that there is not a gender difference, I am all ears. But there IS. It is objective reality. That can't be bigotry, because it is REAL.

I also do not think it is all men, it is mostly young conservative men. This is also reality. Not bigotry, just acceptance of reality.

@CharlieKruse , the suits are to cover up their lack of class...

@santiago Time to drag this old video out again, to show to the young'uns.

@RDHale@mastodon.online , we have the same issue in America, and it boils down to a lack of competition between services. We have localized monopolies that exclude competition, all heavily regulated. Where industry is open and has to perform if they want customers, like the cell phone industry, privatization has done very well.

@ceoln It always seems to be a blind loyalty to how the voter imagines their chosen one to be, and not often based on objective reality. Or how evil the opponent is, also not often based on objective reality. They can't handle any dissent. Or any voices that don't agree to them without reservations.

The view limit on the bird app doesn't matter if you don't use it. About twice a week, I accidentally will hit a link for there, and spend a good 15 seconds scrolling. I will probably see 200 posts a month.

For a moment, when I typed a "t" into chrome, I didn't even get the bird app as a suggestion. That was lovely. It is very rare to get hate on mastodon, aside from those servers that are openly bad actors.

Saturday morning, I got hate. I assume they were new arrivals, and still have the bird mentality. I will never know, as we blocked each other.

Please, if you ran here because it got bad there, don't try to make here into there. None of us need that.

@EwaSR 1st belly laugh of the day!

@TheAlexNevil , when, there is the problem. Unless the clerk was a squirt...

@TheAlexNevil , what kind of gun did you have with you when you confronted the seller??

People don't seem to be mentioning this, but I find it to be as bad, if not worse, than accepting plane rides and fishing trips, or a house for your mother. The dollar amounts sure are higher:

"2 Supreme Court justices failed to recuse themselves from cases involving their publisher after receiving large amounts in book advances and royalties"

A 3rd, Jackson, has accepted a million or more bucks, but hasn't had a case come before her yet. But I think just getting a million like this with the incredible potential of a case coming to your court is problematic.

In a choice between trump and Hillary, both are pushing us on a slow slide to Hell in my opinion. Hillary was a slower push, but still the wrong direction. I don't want us to be bombing Libya. or selling weapons to the Saudis, or staying in Afghanistan. I don't want Goldman Sachs to benefit from my vote, I want us to benefit. I won't vote for the Senator from MBNA.

I'm curious... I ran into a pack of zealots yesterday... we ended up blocking each other. But I have a simple question: How bad can a candidate be before you accept not voting for them, when they are running against a trump? For me, if they are a bad candidate, at any level, they are not going to get my vote. For some people it seems they have to be worse than trump to not get that vote. To me that just guarantees that evil wins elections, that there is no reason for any party to present a good candidate. If I have a choice between Stalin or Hitler, I am writing in Batman. If I have a choice between tween trump and a candidate who was openly vocally against marriage equality, I WILL NOT VOTE FOR EITHER, and for cause. Why is this hard to understand?

@CDeorum@mastodon.world @JJPeterson You think my post was a lecture?? Or a GOP talking point? Show me how I supported the GOP. This is not a request, it is a requirement if you don't wish to be blocked by me.

@CDeorum@mastodon.world @JJPeterson You don't think Hillary was Cis Het?

@JJPeterson I highly doubt Hillary would have appointed even a single progressive judge. She would have appointed solid corporatist judges. Roe would have survived, but student debt relief would not. People seem to forget how Hillary was against things like marriage equality, was pro war, and was a Goldman Sachs board member.

Imagine instead if the Dems had backed a liberal, how the world would have been different.

@DrPsyBuffy Jesus flipped over the money changer tables for a reason.

@flexghost , anyone who even WAS a republican after June, 2016. That was the deadline to leave the party of tre45on.
