What did Carter do?

I thought it was an incel. lol

I'm still trying to understand what tankies are. Are they simply people pretending to be communists?

I love supporting protests and am quick to point out how they can shift attitudes (e.g. occupy) but I would struggle to say one positive result from the pussy hat protest. Can you help me there?

If I had to guess, I would say it helped him with his base more than hurt him or helped the opposition/our side rally support.

The protests against his abusive anti-protest tactics were a lot more successful in rallying support on our side, for example. Didn't last more than a couple months, but still

Those weren't meant as insults bro.

It's something many/most of struggle with. It's not a death sentence or a stain on your character or some kind of moral flaw.

It's just how you communicate. It's not conducive for true connection with others. That's all I'm saying

I only started realizing it about me like the last 2 years. I never used to actually try and connect with people.. like I'm doing now. Sucks it under these circumstances, but that's life

I'm free all day man

You're hurting bad buddy. Please go call someone that can help.

Lot of people still care about you on this dumb little site.

Never said this, but message me if you wanna talk. You definitely got a friend in me, if you can forgive that I upset you

I never insulted you, bud. Sorry if what I said hurt you. Hopefully we can work through this.

You certainly don't deserve to be treated like shit, and I still think you're pretty cool.

Hoping you get this and haven't blocked me! lol

Bro, I don't know you and I got nothing against ya. I absolutely appreciate you commenting on shit that might be dead otherwise.

That said, you're kinda doing it right now. I'm saying you're a bit too sure or yourself which could be an opportunity to reflect and understand why I would think that, but you're more inclined to defend and lash out without trying to fully understand what I'm trying to communicate to you.

Please don't take it the wrong way. This isn't an attack on you as a person, but moreso maybe on how you communicate with others - not sure. I know for sure you got tons of cool personal traits. Your comic sub is awesome! This is just something most of us could/need to improve on. It probably wasn't the best way to communicate it to you though. lol. Hope we cool! :)

You made a factual statement about the app pushing Chinese propaganda. I was wondering what the source was for that claim? Sorry I wasn't clearer.

Also, lol. I wasn't making fun of your age, I meant it as more of a statement of on your way of thinking. It's very boomer-like - that is to say, you seem quite close-minded and stubborn and unwilling to consider that you might be wrong.

"lately"

Dude makes great contributions - got no hate against him for that - but he's a bit too sure of himself sometimes.

He also always seems to have some beef with the OP for some reason or another. They're both like the only two names I easily recognize on Lemmy because of how active they are - ngl, I think that's actually kinda neat, how small these communities are or whatever.

Is there one with an algorithm that comes even half as close?

I don't use it much but I've never used an app with as good an algorithm. Maybe Instagram comes close
