context also heavily welcome.
I saw a post about how some female model apparently knew a lot of programming languages (I think it was around 60?) and left a comment about how I’d wager they only knew how to make the computer say “hello world” in most of them.
What I was intending was more that if much anyone told me they knew a ton of different programming languages (regardless of their jobs or side hustles) then that’s what I would expect. Don’t blame the downvoters for reading that as misogynistic and demeaning to models, but that’s not what I was intending. Just that much anyone claiming they can program in that many languages reads to me like they’re really inflating their numbers to brag.
Though in retrospect I can see how a magazine (or another similar group) may want to pull that number out of her in an interview (so she wouldn’t necessarily be bragging about it) and may not care about exactly how accurate or misleading the number could be compared to what they actually said.
Mine was saying that 15 is old enough to be aware of what’s going on in the world regarding some UK teen that gave up UK citizenship to move to some place in the Middle East and wasn’t allowed to come back. Or something along those lines.
It got -20.
My response to “capitalism is terrorism” was “Go move to Cuba then”.
I don’t know if this exists in different cultures, but in Czechia we often respond to stupid things with something equally or more stupid to show we don’t take it seriously.
It has 88 down votes.
I think this is it. Although I’ve been downvoted many times on here

Probably when I debated with some kids that thought capitalism is the root cause of loneliness. My point was that loneliness was a condition of being alive- not a result of a system of government. Besides… There’s loneliness in communist countries too. Safe to say capitalism cased that? Shit… Even animals get lonely. I’m pretty sure animals don’t really have a concept of the inner workings of capitalism. And even if there is an anecdotal instance or two- it’s still a dumb thing to hang on capitalism.
There’s enough real shit you can pin on capitalism to argue its ineffectiveness. But loneliness?
Loneliness appeared the moment humans stopped living in tribes
Yep. And according to a lot of people on lemmy, that’s around when capitalism must have started.
When I said that weed isn’t harmless. I didn’t say it should be criminal. I just don’t like people pretending it has no downsides.

A question about if the voting age should be lowered.
I said that it should be higher instead because teens are stupid. I was back then, and I was considered one of the smart kids in school.
In general, I think making the right to vote conditional on some sort of intellectual test (which raising the voting age is, in some sense) suffers from at least three problems:
Firstly, my preference for democracy does not just stem from efficacy, but also from a moral angle. People should have a say in how their lives are run, even if they don’t satisfy someone’s criterion for intellectual eligibility.
Secondly, even from an efficacy angle there’s problems with it, and we have historical examples of this. Literacy tests have been used around the globe to effectively bar minorities from voting. E.g. black people in the United States, and indigenous peoples in Latin America. As a result, the needs of those populations were ignored, which I would consider a failure in efficacy.
And finally, literacy is highly subjective. Maybe today the government comes up with a test that you agree with (age 26 and up), but maybe a future government adjusts the test to a point where you disagree (only after retirement, after you’ve lived to see most aspects of life, and are therefore most fit to intelligently cast your vote).
Does this mean I believe in extending suffrage to five year olds? No. I believe there’s a balance to strike, and it’s not a black and white issue. But as the history of literacy tests shows, this is an area to tread incredibly carefully, and I get why people were so quick to downvote you.
I agree, here in Germany they made some kind of voting available for 16 yr old, everyone was like “yeah this is good” I disagreed and got bashed on. (PS: I’m also a teen, and can’t vote yet, I agree it should be higher.)
When I made a troll post about 09.11 and wine 9.11 release.
Something like: “wine 9.11 has landed” + some wtc attack picture with wine logo on it.
edit: And there was a reply to a comment about how the chinese communist army is the most peaceful and just army in the world. I just shared a picture of the Tiananmen Square ‘Tank Man.’ I got banned on lemmy.ml and downvoted to oblivion.
Yeah gaining massive downvotes on ml is like cheating in this “competition”, it’s so easy over there.
It was a post about how Google had been asked to take down links to websites selling black market hormonal transition drugs and I suggested that no one should be buy them from shady sources like that in the first place as those compounds are important enough to not just buy whatever you can find as a personal attempt to fix body dysphoria.
People just wanted to be upset.Though I have also been recently banned from upliftingnews for not being uplifted enough about basic stuff and had a mod tell me I don’t belong in their communities so I’m surprised anyone agrees with me ever apparently.
to be fair, the point of the community probably is to uplift people so if youre doing the opposite…
Haha I know I know. It just wasn’t very uplifting either.
Mine was: “I will make it my life’s purpose to pay for a business class fight on a smartwatch, no scratch that, a smart ring, i will report back with further progress.”
This was in relation to a post about how anything important or meaningful should be done on a large monitor and not a phone or otherwise.
It got 3 downvotes
Jokes on them lemmynsfw doesn’t federate downvotes… So probably this one.
I was third in a chain of "Nice"s. I think about my crimes every day.
Nice.
Had to go and look. (don’t really pay attention to these things normally)
Wooow, 180 seconds (which probably won’t even get to timeout) when shutting down my computer. My life is ruined forever because I had to wait sooooo much. /sarc
Me dissing yet another “SYSTEMD TAKES TOO LONG TO SHUT DOWN >:(((((((” whinememe on a Linuxmemes community.
I stand by what I said. If waiting 2 minutes for your computer to shut down is so life-ruining for you, you probably don’t even know what a real problem smells like & should probably see a therapist about your lack of basic patience and frustration tolerance
You forget that faster startup and shutdown was a supposed feature repeated so often.
We just didn’t know that looking sideways at dbus would require a restart so often.
Or that it was in hot-garbage dev flux for a production enterprise product. And it ignored all best practice. Silly things like that when we’re basing our SLAs on stuff.
I was on a Ford reddit forum. OP was pissed that their timing belt (chain?) broke, and was convinced that the repair shop she had previously went to had sabotaged her motor. I commented that these things do in fact break, and that the shop might not have been the culprit. Holy Downvotes Batman.
