I'm sure I'm famous because I'm allegedly a Russian troll and a Nazi sympathizer that promotes slavery in China because I eat chocolate sometimes.

Quite the character, huh?

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

academy award nominee "Margot Robbie" of course!

You're gonna feel pretty silly when it's really her and she dates us all.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 0 points 3 months ago

I hear academy award nominated actress margot robbie is here sometimes.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world obviously

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is that the actual actress? If so, how the fuck did she wind up here?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

It's obviously the real actress. Who else would it be? Do you think someone on the internet would just pick that name to use if it isn't theirs?

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I see a lot of posts from @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world.

They post good memes, insightful comments, moderates a few communities I think.

probably not a real squid though, I don't think they got internet in the ocean

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

probably not a real squid though

I am currently visiting some friends I've been talking to on a forum for years but have never met. We've all been really close despite that. It's sort of a three-day forum party and it's been amazing.

Why do I bring this up?

I needed a shirt to wear for the first day so I didn't have to keep telling people who I was and I found the perfect shirt. (Excuse the crease, I took the picture the day after.)

Edit: are the downvoters disillusioned by the revelation of my false endoskeleton?

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

FlyingSquid(I don't know on which instance he is, but you see him quite often).

[–] Asudox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

FlyingSquid seems to have alot of accounts on different instances

[–] Brutticus@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe its just me, but I see @BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world moon a lot. They post sovereign citizen stuff, which is what i see regularly, but they are also a pretty good poet.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am actually not a poet, I just find good poetry. Thanks!

No, because of how they interacted on this post

https://lemmy.world/comment/10906808

Their the second person I hate on lemmy, the other one being stamets because they repsonded to me in an abrasive, rude, toxic and above others attitude

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Be careful pointing that out on forums they moderate or they'll ban you for "mod harassmenr."

Power users and power mods are cancer.

Until this thread, I didnt realize so many Lemmy users had an issue with Flying Squid. Perhaps its because I tend to agree with a lot of his takes, but I just find him abrasive at worst. Like...unafraid to not sugarcoat an uncomfortable truth.

Dudes definitely everywhere though.

[–] Boy_of_Soy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

FlyingSquid believes that your internet browsing history should be made public if you are running for any political position. Worst take of all time.

https://lemmy.world/comment/10928568

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

They also beleive you shouldn't have a right to privacy and that your trauma does not exist

Rumors of my only having good opinions about everything that everyone should agree with have been greatly exaggerated.

But if I have offended you by being wrong about something, I apologize.

[–] Boy_of_Soy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not offended, more just dumbfounded that someone could honestly not see how that is obviously a terrible idea.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

See above, re me not always having good opinions about everything.

I cannot help being severely flawed. It comes with the whole homo sapiens thing.

But good for you not having any opinions most people in a certain community you're in disagree with. That must be very nice for you.

[–] Boy_of_Soy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

So what you are saying (through an incredibly thick layer of condescension) is that you know your belief is wrong. And instead of changing your belief, you would rather maintain it, knowing it is wrong. That's just bizarre.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You never asked me if I changed my belief. You decided I still hold it when you said, and I quote:

FlyingSquid believes that your internet browsing history should be made public if you are running for any political position. Worst take of all time.

https://lemmy.world/comment/10928568

Then again, I'm not the Flying Squid expert here.

[–] Boy_of_Soy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I would have reasonably expected you to lead with that. You no longer belive that all politicians should be required to have their internet browsing history published?

If so, then I congratulate you on the personal growth.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So you no longer belive that all politicians should be required to have their internet browsing history published?

You tell me. I've never even met Flying Squid apparently.

[–] Boy_of_Soy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

WTF are you on about now?

All I'm doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don't like you. If you no longer hold that opinion, then great, that's growth. If you do, then I'm going to continue to refer to it as an example of your shitty takes.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You mean you are spotlighting a terrible opinion I held at the time but didn't ask whether or not I held it until I pointed out you didn't ask.

An opinion I have repeatedly suggested was not a good opinion.

Which, I would say, suggests that whether I say I do or I don't, you don't actually care and are just throwing out a platitude because you would essentially be forced to if I say I don't.

It's fine that you hate me, but just be honest about why.

[–] Boy_of_Soy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You mean you are spotlighting a terrible opinion I held at the time but didn't ask whether or not I held it until I pointed out you didn't ask.

Do you think it is reasonable to expect anybody referencing your words to reach out to you to ensure your publicly stated option is still up to date?

An opinion I have repeatedly suggested was not a good opinion.

If you know (or knew) it is not a good opinion, then why do you hold (or held) that opinion?

Which, I would say, suggests that whether I say I do or I don't, you don't actually care and are just throwing out a platitude because you would essentially be forced to if I say I don't.

Your presumption of my intention is both incorrect and insulting.

It's fine that you hate me, but just be honest about why.

This is another incorrect presumption of my intention. I have been true and honest in all my statements.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do you think it is reasonable to expect anybody referencing your words to reach out to you to ensure your publicly stated option is still up to date?

I do think it is reasonable. Too bad you didn't do that. As you said yourself, "All I’m doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don’t like you."

If you know (or knew) it is not a good opinion, then why do you hold (or held) that opinion?

Because, again, I am a flawed human being. Why can't you accept that? Do you want me to say I'm perfect and wonderful and lovable and brilliant? Because I don't think I'm any of those things, sorry.

Your presumption of my intention is both incorrect and insulting.

Oh the irony.

[–] Boy_of_Soy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I do think it is reasonable. Too bad you didn't do that.

That is not a reasonable expectation. You are not so special that it is an offense to reference your words without clearing it with you first. Your comments will always be taken at face value.

As you said yourself, "All I’m doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don’t like you."

I do not understand the relevance of this statement. Please elaborate.

Because, again, I am a flawed human being. Why can't you accept that? Do you want me to say I'm perfect and wonderful and lovable and brilliant? Because I don't think I'm any of those things, sorry.

I do not understand. You have the ability to change your opinions. Why would you post bad ones, knowing they are bad? I cannot comprehend knowing that you are doing something wrong and choosing to do it anyway.

Oh the irony.

Please elaborate. I have not made any presumptions about you. My opinion of you is solely based on the information that you have posted.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You claimed you didn't give your opinion of me, just your opinion of why others hate me.

When I suggested you hated me, you said that wasn't true.

Your whole "I have been honest and open and truthful" thing is a bit undermined by two-faced comments like that.

But sure, asking questions isn't reasonable. We'll go with that.

[–] Boy_of_Soy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You claimed you didn't give your opinion of me, just your opinion of why others hate me.

I did not claim this. I thought it was quite clear that I thought your take was deplorable.

When I suggested you hated me, you said that wasn't true.

I did not state this. My rebuke of the "you hate me" thing was that you accused me of being dishonest.

You are either misinterpreting or willfully misrepresenting my words.

Frankly, you seem more interested in arguing with this strawman of me that you have created than actually engaging with my points and your intellectual dishonesty has become tiring and boring.

I hope you can one day realize that acknowledging that your opinions are bad does not absolve you of spreading them.

No love for @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world ? They're not always the best troll, but man are they prodigious.

[–] mke@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Putting their comments aside, I think it's really impressive how they came up with the perfect four word combination to blue-screen my brain every time.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There are some infamous ones for the amount of misinformation they post.

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Some even under this very post…

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Does SMCF post misinformation? I honestly don't know.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Everything I post is false.
