Something I’ve noticed recently on Lemmy is that if you mention your own mental health, people immediately take it seriously, and I think that’s so fucking cool. What a great place; thanks for being who you are

I think it’s bad for my mental health to be regularly exposed to extremely bad takes and hateful content, and blocking them prevents me from seeing them again in the future.

And my client doesn’t support tagging, so blocking them is a safe way to ensure I don’t accidentally waste my time reading the opinion of someone with historically shit opinions

Lol I blocked flying squid too

Even when the belief being challenged is your right to exist? I personally don’t entertain such perspectives

What the fuck did you just fucking say about Kamala Harris you little bitch? I’ll have you know she supports genocide, and has been involved in upholding a corrupt and punitive “justice” system, and she has over 1500 confirmed fuckups. I am trained in internet argumentation and I’m the top shitposter on the entire FBI watch list. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe your shit takes the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit on the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of leftists across the USA and your ignorance is being noted right now so you better prepare for the storm, liberal. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your opinion. You’re fucking dead wrong, kid. I can dismantle your argument anywhere, anytime, and I can do it in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with appeals to emotion. Not only am I extensively informed on this issue, but I have access to a cherry-picked list of facts that support my opinion and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable stance off the face of this forum, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead wrong, kiddo.

Edit: this is not directed at drag, hence the use of you/your

I manually counted them by counting how many in the list fit on my screen at one time (15 for me on Eternity), then seeing how many screens worth of scrolling I had to do to get to the bottom, and multiplying

My instance doesn’t participate in downvoting, and arguing is a waste of time and bad for my mental health. So, I do choose to ignore them- forever, by blocking them lol.

I’ve blocked a couple of the top 10ish most prolific posters, so I know I’m missing out on some quality content. That’s one benefit I see to tagging instead of blocking, if my client had that feature

Well yeah they’re random internet people, but sometimes they’re random internet people that show up in my feed/comments frequently

Impressive!

Or annoyed with what they have to say?

several mods

Lol blocking mods is so funny to me for some reason

That’s a good idea! I like Eternity’s UI too much to switch to an app with more features, unfortunately

Lmao I love this. Is this OC?

As Alice explained, grocery stores call those standalone freezer bins ‘bunkers’.

I didn’t know this, so when I asked a Walmart employee where they moved the frozen potatoes to, and she said “the bunker,” my first thought was “oh no.”

The original artist of these comic panels, webcomicname, always makes the punchline “oh no.” (and actively encourages fan-made content using their concept/panels).

Edit: I made this comic specifically to text to a friend who works at Walmart and is familiar with the original artist. I didn’t plan to share it on Lemmy bc it’s a pretty niche/specific joke, but someone else posted an original comic from webcomicname, so I figured I’d take the opportunity

The original, for those unfamiliar with this brand of hot sauce

Found it!

I’ve been trying to find it but struggling. It was a tweet, originally in another language, that someone translated to English and posted a screenshot of (to R*ddit I think) which said (paraphrasing) “Biden looks like he crapped his pants on accident, and Bibi looks like he crapped his pants on purpose” and it was in response to an article featuring this photo
