I made more comments about blood type compatibility in breeding, and it received a lot of hateful comments in response. Many people chose to personally attack me. A mod chose to remove some of my comments as nonsense because people complained. One commenter threatened to frame me for a crime if kept commenting.

I wish everyone the best of luck in their family planning. I hope everyone who reads this thinks about having kids with someone of their own blood type. I say this because I care. I’m not trying to upset people. Anyway, I can find better uses of my time than reading hate mail from Lemmy users. I have enjoyed messages and comments from people who weren’t hateful. People in Lemmy’s Cat community are truly caring and compassionate people. So are many people on Offmychest and Goodoffmychest. Take care. Stay safe. If you ever find that you agree with my posts, I hope you can find friends that can handle the discussion about it. I’d recommend a place that is not on the Lemmy site.

Have a great life, everyone.

All I did was mention that I was mostly Scottish and Irish by dna. I didn’t even mention being part English and Welsh, too. Another reader saw my comment and decided to call me a “mutt” for being born in America. He also tried to insinuate I was worth less than him because he says he is English by dna. It really bothers me when someone reaches out to bully a stranger online, assuming he is superior to that other user. I added a screenshot so people can see one of the supremacy comments this guy made.

I’d honestly like to meet this person and see what he looks like. I’m curious to know the face behind the supremacy act on this guy.

So annoying. Prescribed adderall and then they ran out. Spent a month taking life raw and chugging coffee. Prescribed vyvanse then the generic came out. Prescribed lisdexamfetamine and the pharmacy ran out.

There’s something ironic about having adhd people take action to refill their meds every month and I’m so sick of it but I can’t function without it.

Going on 3 months no meds now

Every once in a while I'm hit in the face with a boomer moment, and my wife and her phone are just the pinnacle of this. My wife is GenX, and not even a particularly old one, but damn she will dig in her heels against technology and progress. She has an iPhone and staunchly refuses to use a passcode. She doesn't need one and doesn't want one. Basic security? Oh, no, not convenient. Tap to Pay? Oh, no, she'd rather dig through her purse for a credit card and get flustered while 30 people que up behind her to get on a bus while she tries to find one that has rfid (which she doesn't like because "I want to insert the card myself").

So we get new phones. eSim phones to replace the physical sim ones. And we spend the better part of an hour trying to figure out why her sim won't transfer. Mine was a simple dialog, as was DDs. What's different about hers? iOS is up to date. Phone is compatible. madly searches internet a dozen links in and buried in a t-mobile help page - "make sure bluetooth is on and the phone has a PIN code". MFer.

I suppose it could be worse. Her mother answers facetime video calls by putting the phone to her ear like it's a normal call and then talking the entire time while broadcasting the top of her ear to whoever is on the other end. 🙄

I do not care for anime, or hentai. Or even generally porn/nsfw when I’m browsing lemmy.

I do like to browse all/new to see what else exists. But my god, I’ve blocked so many god damn anime and nsfw communities its getting ridiculous.

Ive turned nsfw off (so tagged posts don’t show) but generally I don’t even want “mildly” nsfw pictures (posing celebrities, scantly clad anime).

I like the concept of the fedeverse and decentralised communities. But there are so many god damn versions of anime and celeb communities.

Well thanks for reading my rant.

I just walked into a store and bought a pair of socks. And before I could pay I was asked for:

• Full name

• Address

• Email

• Phone

To buy a $15 pair of fucking socks.

Businesses, stop this shit. Just let me pay and go home. I will never give a solitary shit about your marketing to me, and this drawn out process at the register only makes me never want to come back.

In a world of daily data leaks and cyber attacks, I’m not giving you one piece of true information anyway.

I produce pottery and lost $450 in comissions and around 20 hours of careful work to make the pieces all special because i didnt teste a new glaze batch even having a bad feeling. It worked the last two times without testing because it was mixed at the clay facility. This time it was brought home instead then mixed later.. Dont be dumb like me and follow your gut feeling if its got a risk attached!! Urgh!
