Please don’t mistake Lemmy for a PR dumping ground.

If the situation was reversed, I’d think this was pretty funny. I’ll think of that instead.

Yup. Avoiding the question and topping it off with a personal attack is almost as good as an admission of guilt, IMHO. It’s a ridiculous, desperate tactic.

I can absolutely see this happening with the guy on roller skates.

You’re fine. It doesn’t count as “bad phrasing” when you admit that you’re talking about something that’s weird to you and you don’t understand.

Lots of Americans think the gun culture is messed up, too.

I love this headline and photo.

This bill is completely disgusting and exploitative. We’re talking about Florida, though, so I expected it to pass.

I want to shove bamboo under the fingernails of that asshole who was likening child labor to a “part time job”.

Props to the web developer who put that red “read in app” tab in the most annoying, distracting place possible

Well, somebody has to make those memes that are out of touch, but with juuuuust enough recent pop culture to make the reader feel hip. It’s a delicate balance.

Oh, and the memes can only be funny to hateful people. That makes it even more difficult.

They shouldn’t be allowed to do that. They should be required to process any legal payment. Even the icky ones.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 4 points 7 months ago

Oh, okay. Still sucks, but at least I understand now. Thanks!

Things of questionable moral value have been available for sale for as long as money has existed. It’s not like this is new. Payment processors got into this business knowing perfectly well that some purchases may not align with their moral values. In fact, they’ve been profiting off it for decades. They don’t get to suddenly clutch their pearls now.

To be clear, I won’t miss the incest games. I just don’t like the precedent this is setting.
