Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What will it take for you to really be done with the internet?
8·3 days agoTo be honest I think I’m nearly already there in terms of using any service that requires interaction with other meat bags. I find having personal opinions that differ (even slightly) from the echo chambers (even when stated as being just an opinion) makes it a constant battle to stay civil, and I’m not sure it will ever get better. Add in all the spam, constant battle against advertising, bot accounts etc and I really can’t be bothered as I don’t really feel like I’m missing out on much.
And the same goes for the offline world too. People need to unplug more.
And de-claw them presumably, in the states that still allow it.

But I also think trapping them indoors and feeding them vegan food is wrong.

You guys are crazy. Why would they take legal action for a marketing stunt ? Don’t you think the legal system would clap back if they file just for marketing ? The leeks are real

This is how you get crusty baps.
