Thanks.

sex-pest

I keep seeing this term, can you translate it to American? Is it referring to anyone obsessed with sex, or specifically people who commit sexual assault?

“Centrists” in this case meaning who, specifically?

I’m not wrong though, I was just silenced. Which, contrary to popular opinion, is not the same thing.

My mom bought a tear-down for less than $100k in a small Southern city last year. It really needs a shit ton of work and we’ll probably sink another $200k into it over the next 10 years. We are basically going to replace the entire house, in stages as we can afford it. But the point is that 1) she can live in it during this time, and 2) she’s building equity in it.

Still, I’d rather rent in California than own in the South. Good for her though.

Unpopular opinion: rules don’t matter because mods have almost infinite leeway to interpret anything they want as anything they want.

Happened to a relative of mine, kind of. Went on a drug and debauchery spree. Not the fun way. Hard drugs, seriously addictive. Stole from the family, we all disowned them. Ended up hitting someone while driving under the influence and killing them. Went to jail, supposedly got sober, but I’m still no-contact.

Got it. I still reject your central premise of hard labels regardless of real-world context, but everything you’re saying makes sense and is internally consistent within that premise.

I just saw this one on the modlog, it’s not about me.

Progressives aren’t the one stepping back. We’re being dragged back by Republicans. Don’t blame us for that shit, we’re trying to move forward.

That’s the whole point I brought up though. I don’t feel like rehashing the debate about the man vs bear right now, I’m just saying it’s pretty silly that I was banned from the “unpopular opinions” community for having an unpopular opinion. I expect a community named “unpopular opinions” to not ban someone for having an unpopular opinion.

The things that actually make it trend to be the things that can get enough centrist support to overcome Republicans. Or on the rare occasion when Democrats can cut Republicans out of the process entirely (ie budget reconciliation)

Slow progress is still progress. It’s in the name.

I miss when MAGAs hated China and Russia. It was the one good thing about them.

So my view is unpopular here.

Yes but we’re on lemmy. Not in a church.

So you’re saying my opinion is…unpopular?

That’s just grindr

Is there anyone who is neither a leftist nor a reactionary? Or do you think everyone has to be either for worker ownership (leftist) or against it (reactionary)?

That wasn’t my comment, I was just reading the log
