Emotional (he/him)

Please enlighten me, what’s the illusion?

my bad, I guess I should’ve worded this better.

we have two choices:

1. democrats win
2. republicans win

which of those two outcomes would you rather have?

they didn’t say to shut up about it though, they specifically addressed non-voting.

Good point, tankies isn’t a very well know term.

Telling new users they shouldn’t listen to the FooBars when they say “don’t vote for Genocide Joe, I’m your friendly neighborhood communist btw” doesn’t directly convey why the FooBars can’t be trusted. I think most people on Lemmy agree that communism isn’t the enemy.

Maybe instead of tankie, we should use a more known and direct descriptor: don’t trust the dictators.

I love Grist!

My wife and I were frequent Google Sheet users and since a few years ago we started using Grist a lot. We tried some other alternatives before, but none of them felt even close to right for us.

Do you know what empathy is?

As an immigrant, I’ll say this as politely as I can: fuck you. I really wish skidmarks like you would stop trying to risk my life to gain brownie points with their tankie friends.

Shit, I remember looking at 18F when trying to learn more about accessibility and I recall they had good info, it’s a shame…

I, for one, haven’t seen people over-using the word “tankie”, I haven’t seen people getting called tankies for the reason alone that they are leftists or even communists.

However, I’ve seen many tankies insisting that the word is meaningless or that it just means anybody on the left.

People I’ve seen using the word tankie have been surprisingly consistent about who they call a tankie: supporters of authoritarianism, especially Putin and the CCP.
