Prolly go up when everyone over the age of 50 finally dies.

The fact that you think 50 is old is hilarious to me. lol

Lots of people in their 60's and 70's are super laid back. You should look up hippies and tell me what generation that is! In my area the older ones are the ones smoking pot and telling everyone to chill. I don't notice that with the super old people, but 60's and 70's around me are super chill. I'm all for politicians having to be under 60 though! lol

My 67yr old mother is a chill stoner.

But still a homophobe whenever I'm not actively in her eyesight/earshot. 🥹

I mostly feel that GenX/Elder Millennials and younger are more accepting/didn't stew in as much socially accepted disdain. 🥹

Most x'rs that I know aren't even political. What are you even talking about? What is SUP and what is UM and what is FUD? What do those abbreviations even mean?

None of those names are banned in this community tho, so how would that count as trying to evade bans? And from what I am seeing, Universal Monk is still active and I see that he posted just today on lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/UniversalMonk and regularly posts. So what are you talking about him being banned?!

Your account is two days old. Two fucking days and you are reporting about people, talking about alt names. And every single post you have posted is about Universal Monk. That seems like a lot going on for someone who has had their account for two days.

Seems like you're the one with alt accounts, made to stir up trouble. I engaged with you in good faith, but now I'm thinking you're a troll. Nothing you are talking about has anything to do with this community or this instance.

When I decided to change instances I didn't change my name. I just decided to get off .world

cowfodder@lemmy.world is still an active account, isn't instance banned or heavily moderated anywhere, and hasn't been used since I decided to switch over to .zip. Unlike some people I don't need to use sock puppets to defend myself.

I don't need sock puppets to defend myself either. You are obsessed about one person, came into a community and talked about that person even tho he hasn't posted here, and isn't even banned from posting here and isn't banned from this instance. And the dude is still active and posting so he hasn't been banned from his instance either.

So it can't be counted as ban evading and why would you report it for that?

Plus it has nothing to do with the news story. So tell me how that's not you trolling and abusing the report button?

Well I did turn 40 recently.

And have chronic pain issues that make me feel 80. 😭

I'm 51 and I feel great. Just got back from a 10 mile hike in my local mountain range. Beautiful day for it!

But back to you: So I want you to think about how quick the last 10 years have been. Now in that same amount of time, you are gonna be 50. And 50 ain't old, but those are the guys you called out in your original comment.

Lot's of 20 year olds think 40 is old and that 40+ people are ruining the world. You are in that group. lol
