Stocks, Investing, Gambling, Bitcoin .etc

Look, I’m not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don’t care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn’t want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They’d rather buy lottery tickets.

    Trans people. Why do I gotta hear about them every ten minutes?

      If you mean on the Threadiverse in particular, one of the larger home instances, lemmy.blahaj.zone, is aimed at the trans crowd, was one of the older active instances that I recall.

      EDIT: One of the first discussions I recall being in on the Threadiverse was when kbin.social – which puts random comments in the sidebar to help people discover new communities – sent both me and apparently some other guy, both using kbin.social, to a discussion in [email protected]. He had an upset comment about how everyone in the thread was furry.

      EDIT2: And I don’t see that community any more, so I wonder if they closed it down.

      EDIT3: I remember when I was trying to find new communities a while back, was looking for interesting tech stuff. I see [email protected], figure ah hah, Unix socket development forum. I like a good chat about network development! No, it’s…unexpectedly trans Unix sysadmins posing with their Unix system in feminine stockings. Ah, well.

        I mostly just mean the Internet in general. I don’t really care about the whole debate going on. Leave them be, right?

          It’s the next step of the civil rights movements, which certain demographics of people are fighting tooth and nail to prevent (and undo past progress). If it were possible to simply say “All people get equal rights”, and leave it at that, we’d all be better off. We’ve had some big hullabaloos in the past about “do the blacks count as people?” and “do women count as people?” then “do the gays count as people?” and now “do the trans count as people?”. Once everyone gets over hating trans people, the haters will move on to another minority to persecute and we’ll have posts online about “Why do I have to hear about (label) all the time? Can’t we just leave them be?”

            You can’t make anyone like someone.

              Are you missing the part about trans people fighting for equal rights? It’s not about being liked it’s about being allowed to exist.

                I’m not disallowing them. I’m just not interested in hearing about it so much. Why does it gotta come up when I’m gaming or doing my flow arts? Why do I hear about it dramatically more than worse problems affecting way more people? I’m not trying to invalidate their problems. I just think that their collective voice(which includes non trans people) is really loud and I’m not bothered about it.

        Found the idiot.

        You don’t have to care about every single thing in the world. It’s perfectly valid to not want to deal with or think about trans people as long as you’re not actively trying to sabotage them. I’m sure there are dozens of “movements” you are unaware of, and can’t bother to give a damn about even if they were explained to you.

        You’re like the very shining example of who I refer to when it comes to talking about issues people have a hard time discussing. You want to know why you may think not enough people are talking about things they should? It’s because of people who draw things down to generalization, like you. You think nothing but black and white.

        You think that anything anyone says that is somewhat in what you feel is against your own narrative, they must be X for arbitrary reasons.

        Nobody can say anything about other people of color or they’re racist.

        Nobody can say anything about other people from different parts of the world or they’re xenophobic.

        Nobody can say anything about the other gender or they’re sexist.

        That’s how you think and I can’t ever imagine what it’s like in your shoes because it sounds like some internal misery is going on in your thinking process and the way you process what’s infront of you. It’s infantile, to me.

        How about you call someone something when they’re actively working against the rights of or advocating the extermination of a certain group.

        Just because they’re tired of something doesn’t mean they’re who you think they are. In otherwords, get a damn clue.
