          Every script kiddie after a single class in uni knows how to make one. That’s why reddit had so many annoying bots that did fuckall but tried to be funny.

            Like that stupid reminder bot.

            Jokes one everyone; it doesn’t work anymore. What happy day that was.

              Reminder bot at least had a purpose and had to be manually triggered by someone to act. I’m talking about the annoying ones, like the spelling bot, it just scraped as much as it could, looked for common spelling errors and corrected people. Good thing bots were getting banned left and right. People aren’t original. When on /freefolk the Bobby bot got successful via a meme, there were like 10 other copycats the next week, made by people who didn’t know that nobody called the character “bobby” unless they wanted to invoke it. So then, a bot would pop up for writing Tyrion, Cersei, Tywin, etc, which were used always, since it was a fandom subreddit.

      I don’t see why it would be fake, there’s nothing unbelievable about it. I mean it is a greentext but there’s no reason to, y’know

    I don’t care whether this story is true or not but I can absolutely confirm that lesbian friends fucking rock

    My friends have reciprocated every ounce of support I’ve given, have helped be to better myself, boosted my confidence, have given me perspectives on life and interpersonal interaction that I otherwise may have been blind to, and are generally wonderful to be around.

    Sorry to rant just really love my friends and wanted to tell people they are missing out although of course your experience may vary

    This is why, as a straight dude, I wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. They’re people, just like everyone else, and I’m sure there’s some that are just terrible people, but on the whole, they’re just folks trying to find their happiness just like everyone else.

    I consider myself an ally, and I’ll use any power I have to promote equality for everyone; whether that entails voting against people who would take their rights away, or try to silence them or whatever, speaking out against tyranny or judgemental asshats… It doesn’t matter.

    IMO, we are people first. Your choice in name, pronouns, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc, are all secondary to the fact that you are a human person deserving of all the same rights and privileges afforded to everyone else.

    My favorite (tongue in cheek) comment, specifically about (gay) marriage is that LGBTQ+ people should have the right to be just as unhappy as the rest of us, in marriage.

      wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community.

      what about the lone gay? the pan-sexiled? the lesbianned from all nearby coffee-shops? Why do you only support the gays with social capital sufficient to be part of the communitiy?

    I had a girlfriend in my 20s that used to hook up with other girls. For some reason I never considered that cheating and never cared. No idea why it never bothered me.

        I’m in my early 40s with four kids now and that seems like way too much work lol. To be clear though, I definitely would have considered it cheating if she was with another dude. It was just with other women it wasn’t an issue at all for me.

          in that case you may have some unrealized homophobia, causing you to not view queer interactions as fully valid compared to straight interactions

            lol what? Not sure what you read but I said I had no problem with my girlfriend with other girls.

            Furthermore I’ve hung out with tons of gay people. My brother was gay (died of fentanyl). Zero issues with whatever people want to do in their bedroom. None of my business anyway.

    Fake but people will upvote anything that creates propaganda for their preferred narrative 🙄. No critical thinking.
