    If you’re talking about the greentext and 4chan-y sort of meme communities… I mean… it’s 4chan.

    Like, the latest post in !greentext@sh.itjust.works is about James Bond and mixology. And then at the end it’s ableist.

    I’m not sure whether that community is run/modded by people that think “it’s fine if it’s just jokes” (which I don’t agree with, for the record) or if their justification is a bit more convoluted. (Maybe something like “everyone knows to expect this community to be filled with bigotry of every single sort, but at least if they come here to this community, they’ll see such stuff in a community/climate where few would try to pass that off as a good/normal thing than if they went to 4chan for these memes, and people probably won’t stop viewing them even if they’re not available here.” Though, then again, the comments section of that community is pretty bad as well. At least far worse than most of the rest of Lemmy as far as I’ve seen.)

    But yeah. Any community that’s mostly dedicated to 4chan content is gonna be pretty well dripping with every sort of bigotry you can imagine.

    Are there other meme communities that have these issues, though? I can’t say I’ve noticed any, but would love to know at least some examples.









  • I’ve got this trick. Basically, I start relaxing the muscles on the way to the restroom. Not enough that there’s any chance I’ll piss myself before I get there. Just enough that by the time I’m in front of the urinal, it’s not difficult to start the stream quickly.

    There was this one time I felt kindof bad about. went to the restroom where I worked (back before I was working remotely) and used “the trick” as usual. I get there, and there’s a guy at one of the urinals already. I peed, flushed, washed my hands, and left the restroom before he produced a drop.

    Of course, in all likelihood, “the trick” won’t continue to work so well as my beard grows grayer, and some day I’ll be the other guy.
