Big agree. I hate that I have to block news communities to get them out of my feed. I never subscribed to them.

Nice! Sounds like I’m gonna get me an enameled one.

no seasoning required

Why is that? That’s the one thing that’s always kinda freaked me out about cooking with a cast iron pan which is why I shied away from it for so long.

My instinct is to just scrub a pan until its clean. Not leave it to be seasoned. Unless what I saw in real life was wrong? my ex cooked with a cast iron pan.

I only just learned about these because of your post but now I’m extremely interested.

Yeah, I think the reason I stayed in shitty places like 4chan and other alt right places was because I thought I was getting through to people.

And I am someone they hate. I’m a bisexual woman who actually dated women and I’m filipino. So bam, two things they not only hate but like to exploit and use.

But I found they often will go along with stuff like this just so they can add fuel to their fire so to speak. They want to have stories where someone tried to explain something to them, or they want to have that argument about how “black men have a violent gene” like they would just enjoy discussing that instead of actually changing their mind. They love to be contrarian about anything.

And of course that’s the crowd that overlaps with white supremacy. So it seems like you can through to some of them who probably aren’t in that deep but others- you’re right, there’s too much working against you to fight it. Plus the people you’re fighting, are enjoying the fight.

Like how do you get through to someone who gets off on that?

This guy is the epitome of the phrase “forgive them for they know not what they do”

Yeah! And he seems to do it with such simplicity. Also its cool he has a podcast, I might listen to that.

Makes me wonder- could the same be done with alt right types?

hell fucking yeah!

What I would like to see instead It’s for everyone to be a little bit more like Daryl Davis. Now I understand that not everyone has the patience of Daryl Davis, but I think this man’s example is the ultimate model to follow.

damn that was an interesting read.

yeah but without the context in the OP, I saw a lot of people making assumptions

the worst part is that a lot of them like want to fight me on what to do in the app? Like little child… you asked ME for help.

yeah I think its that last one. They do it cause that’s what other people are using too. Also talking to random’s on the bus is like playing russian roulette here unfortunately.

tiktok without the rules pretty much

I feel the same way when someone asks if I use kik.

Like I just know that’s not someone I want to continue to associate with.

yeah, I work in tech and often talk to zoomers who can’t figure out how an app works.

Can I ask why you didn’t post this context in the OP post?

Couple summers ago we met some friendly folks drinking high proof vodka out of a Powerade bottle

holy shit I was a little worried this was about to be a story about how you met me and my ex.

I see LOADS of younger looking people using messaging on insta when I take the bus.

I have had people say right to my face in person that, they were never going to talk to me online and would only ever talk to me in person.

I lost a lot of friends when COVID happened. Because they all refused to talk to me online.

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt about reddit though? Weird. I thought we all just didn’t like the site?

it was always mind boggling to be on a sub reddit, like say for King of the Hill and someone posts an innocent quote from the show or something and they just randomly have two downvotes for some reason.
