While I am in general a huge advocate for men to feel safe to cry without ridicule and have cried a lot during heavy depression, I see no reason to do so now.

What the broken cracker means, I have zero idea, so I googled “anti cracker aktion” and only got result about campaigns to ban firecrackers, which seems perfectly resonable, but I suspect it means something different here.

What’s wrong about just mentioning it was a post doc asking the question?

Anyone that easily offended that they won’t even consider asking why is probably not someone I would stand anyway.

Nothing super recent, but I am looking at getting one or two handheld retro consoles, currently thinking about getting the Anbernic RG35XX H and the Miyoo Mini v4.

I am having a spot of bother finding a good store in the EU with them in stock in the colors I want.

Probably due to you not remembering them

Try to keep that in mind, and I will try to keep in mind that some comments are just too much work to post.

Well the time is almost 23:15, gotta get to sleep so I can get up and wash my very dirty car tomorrow, have a great weekend!

I can see that, to be honest I am also having quite a lot of trouble keeping the story straight myself.

Wow, this is hillarious!

You honestly seem to think you know me and my political views from a throwaway comment that I made just after getting up in the morning.

Thank you, am glad we at least can see eachother as people and not just trolls trying to mess with eachother

lol. There is no point in bickering further now that you have started with the insults and ascribed me views that I do not hold, I am not the terrible person you think of, and I will not stoop down to your level and fling insults at you.

So instead I am just going to wish you a pleasant weekend and hope you realize that not everything is as you believe it to be, much less so on the internet.

With hindsight, I can see that, though I disagree with the response.

1. Yes I do believe that most of what I posted here is fine apart from two comments.

2. Ignorant is often used as an insult, but I se and concede your point.

3. I am annoyed at the post talking about skin color when it wasn’t needed to make the point. I suppose I get pissed off since I am a white man who tries his best and get lumped in with this shit, I remember back ten years ago when femenists talked about ceyibg men and how they were drinking male tears, I webt through a very tough period of time then and cried a lot, and I guess I took and still take it a bit too personal.

4. I am fine with a bit of hostillity, but do get extra annoyed when people just assume the worst and come in all guns blazing taking everything I say as being completely terrible and decide I am a horrible person.

After reading about why .zip can be seen as bad, I do understand it better, I genuinely didn’t know about the reputation of the instance.

Learned my lesson?

I have gained more understanding, but there was no lesson to be learned here.

why can’t you understand we wouldn’t like like people like you especially when it’s always the same tired bullshit from people like you.

Where did this come from?

I made one post annoyed about the skin color being complained about, I also noted that I hate the word “mansplaining”, the rest of my comments in this thread have been mostly fine.

So no, I don’t understand the intense dislike for me here, re read my comments and please see if I am so terrible.

I get that, but I hoped that my way of posting gave me some benefit of the doubt. (:

That’s fair, like I said, I got mildy annoyed, and never expected this entire conversation

I am a realist, which is why I am trying show that I am no troll the only way I can, by trying to have a polite conversation.

Though I am starting to get the picture that some people who still are downvoting me would rather see me insulting and crapping sll over the thread, which just reenforce the importance of not doing that.

Ok, I can sort of see your explanation, but I disagree with you on the fact that other people should not be expected to explain their viewpoints to a person they disagree with.

Not explaining just leads to bickering, with no one getting any point across.

But if you explain the other party may gain a better understanding.

I get and accept that you may dislike me based on my comments in this thread, I am more confused as to what the lemmy.zip instance has done to dismiss it outright.

Yet you offer no reason for doing so…
