You’re allowed to say dick on the internet

Just be punk.

Thank you, my thoughts exactly. Tragic is not exactly the same thing as sad.

Then a day later a new stain appears and the cycle continues.

Our own Sisyphecal burden

The only big problem with drivers in VA, imo, is that while they’re good they’re competitive within the bounds of good. And moreso within/near city or big town limits. Really this just means that if you turn on your indicator to show that you’re trying to change lanes, many VA drivers will speed up to pass you to allow you to merge behind them rather than in front of them. Comparatively not a big deal, but I didn’t even realize this was a thing until I lived in NC and regularly experienced people happily making way for me to merge when I indicated.

We don’t have to do pop culture opinions, especially corporately promoted ones.

Nobody actually cares when somebody says moist.

Nobody actually cares if you bite or pull apart either string cheese or kit-kats.

And for the love of God nobody gives two shits about what you put on your pizza.

We don’t have to play this game.

Even in a shitpost

Ain’t the first icy cold cunt I’ve met

If it makes you feel better, I think you guys are a better state in almost every other way but driving 😂

edit: Genuinely y’all might have the best state flag in the nation, and that’s coming from a Virginian and our flag is pretty fucking great

VA 😉

That’s a crazy way to spell Maryland, famous for its awful driving.

Hey, the drivers in my state are fine. It’s the drivers in the neighboring state that are all reckless idiots who don’t know to drive.

A very very happy uncle to many, love spending time with them, but also love going home to a quiet house a lot too

Every single day I see something from a pet owner that reaffirms how happy I am to not have pets.

Literature seems a safe space to explore taboo and challenging ideas to me. Do you carry this same standard for violence* in media? Plenty of books feature grotesque depictions of violence and gore which similarly seeks to titillate, just perhaps not sexually; do you think we should be sounding the alarm on violence in media as well?

edit: non-sexual violence, to be clear, as you seem to be focusing on rape fantasy in fiction which is, of course, itself violence.

What you find disgusting some will find normal, and what you find normal some will find disgusting. You do not get to be the arbiter of morality for me any more than I get to be the arbiter of morality for you.

This company has existed since the 1940s; reading erotica is not even remotely a new phenomenon and you’re fighting a losing battle if you think you’re going to change that. Maybe you should instead get comfortable with the fact that a healthy sexual appetite is normal and people have been engaging in various forms of mental masturbation since literally the dawn of humanity.

Ew don’t besmirch one of my favorite meme templates with the names of these losers

I did not argue for karma, I argued that if karma exists, it should be public. I am at least equally happy with such score not existing for Piefed admins either.

Because this is Lemmy, the whole point for me at least being decentralized, democratized; making non-privacy based knowledge exclusive to the effective elites goes against that principle to me. Perhaps that’s not why you’re here, but it does matter to me. It’s the same reason I think the Modlog is a vital part of the Lemmy appeal; more transparency with users as community members, not just customers.
