Yep, your story sounds pretty much of how I went through it to. Thanks!

I grew up in the 80’s. Was 17 in 1987. So I was at all the right times. But I’m, a mid-90-early 2000’s music fan. Tho there was a lot of good punk in the 80’s.

I was here in the 80’s. Not a fan. lmao

I taught my son to be a lover of pop-punk like Blink-182. No regrets!

Well like you said, I’m easy to block. And I’ve never sent memes.

If I was the only content you were seeing, it’s because no one is posting. I’m doing my part by posting content to the site. Feel free to post yours as well.

Thank you!

Awww, thank you. Good to know that I’m #1 at something! This is awesome!!!

I may have to put your quote in my profile banner pic.

Thanks, amiko!

Hmmm, interesting. Well this is a casual conversation community, so I’m interested in what you have to say. Care to explain why you think that this post isn’t actually about what it claims to be?

Thanks! I’ll look into it!

Must be ambivalence then, because I’m not miserable at all. I’m having a great time. Thank you!@

I can roll with that. Thanks!

I said I’m not trolling.

And I’m not trolling either, which I also said. I was agreeing you.

Trolling is doing something to purposely annoy. It’s intent. Just because someone calls one a troll, doesn’t mean they are a troll.

I post a lot. And it’s one of the factors that people use when calling me a troll. But I’m not a troll, nor do I have any intention of being one. That was my point.

And just because I agree with you doesn’t mean you re suddenly “associated” with me. I promise your reputation won’t be tarnished just because you and I agreed on something.

Thanks!

No worries, mate. I’m never gonna rag on someone for being honest. I appreciate your bluntness. All good!

Wow, that’s very thoughtful!

And the same invitation goes out to you as well. Please feel free to DM me anytime about anything.

I don’t have a discord, but I should make one. Until then, DM me here (or if I get banned from this instance) from any of my other instances. I use the same username for them.

I’m on the lemm.ee instance as well.

Fair points!

Dude, you just made me shook. This may be one of the most powerful responses I have seen on the interwebs.

First, I am sorry that happened to you. That’s fucking horrible and it’s made me realize that I truly have nothing with bitching about. You actually have real issue. I just bitch and moan.

And no, I can’t give you a car. I’m sorry. I can’t come to terms with getting rid of them for whatever reason.

But also, both are over 10 years old, so they aren’t anything awesome.

I’m truly sorry for your loss.

DM me. I would like to help another way though.

Oh, I’ve been around. I had to diversify and spread out my name. I’m transparent and use same username across instances because it’s not about ban evasion, it’s about not being centralized. I love the fediverse!

Interesting viewpoints. Thanks. Actually I’m not anti-social. I have a full social life. I lean toward duplicity because I still can’t get on board with the hypocrisy term since it’s such a loaded word.

And as for the cars, no I def do not need two cars. And my house is paid for, and I have lived here for a long time. I’m hoping global warming starts making warmer winters here!

But to your points, yes, I can sell those and my house. But that was the point fo my post. I choose not to do those things then get annoyed about it. I was wonder if anyone else was the same way. Um, looks like I may be in rare company tho! lol

Thank you for your input. Super interesting!

That is like pure hypocrisy.

How so? And when I say “show off” I mean, happy to show off to my gf and and all the time to annoy her in a funny way. I don’t walk around raising my shirt at random times in the store. I should have clarified.

I don’t think I’m trolling.

Thanks for saying that. I get a LOT of people who follow me on Lemmy and call me a troll. As in, there was a thread started last week to try to ban me from the entire fediverse (which of course didn’t work).

But I’m not a troll, I just have lots of different varying and seemingly opposing viewpoints. It’s not done “to spite others,” it’s done “in spite of others.”

That’s why I think you and I are different than trolls and/or hypocrites.

So maybe contrarian isn’t the right word, but I don’t know what else I would call it. But I don’t have seemingly opposing views to piss people off. It’s just how I am.

My hate-fanclub peeps worked on this just last week. Notice the 318 upvotes to get rid of me:

Right? I’d LOVE to have a transport system where we all just took trains or e-bikes and the infrastructure supported that. I see people in anti-car communities who make a concentrated effort to go carless. I want to be like that. Buuuut I know I wouldn’t be that dedicated! lol
