  • I had a glorious moment at a restaurant with my extended family where there was a large group with kids at the next table letting them run riot. The parents were all nursing huge glasses of white wine and chatting away while the kids bothered other diners, waiters, etc.

    At the end of the meal, after paying the bill, my uncle went over to the parents and told them their kids had ruined our meal. One of the parents tried to protest that he’d obviously never had kids. He responds, “I raised 3 kids and none of them ever behaved as badly as yours have done this afternoon.” Mic drop; my party left.




  • I think the nazi bar analogy is dumb. The story it is based on reminds me of those old facebook memes where the one christian student stands up to their atheist college professor and then everybody claps.

    The main reason I think it’s dumb though is that the term “nazi” seems to mean a multitude of different things to different people. Then you add to that the instinct people have to hyperbolise online and almost any instance could be a “nazi bar”.

    What do most people in this thread think lemmy.world is?

    Edit:

    It took me so long to understand the semantics of the emojis here. Like I thought land lubber might be a new insult that I’d not heard of instead of an instance outsider. I found this thread on all and clicked through without understanding it was an internal instance debate. Apologies for wading into your private debate… idk how private this is but I guess you can’t hide threads on activitypub.
