I have cancer. I'm open about it. This medicaid funding shit could literally kill me.

I am so sick of people suggesting I should "pull a Luigi" or "go out like a hero" because they still have things to lose so they don't want to stand up and lose them. So because I'm gonna die, I should say fuck it and risk it all for a bunch of jerks who wouldn't and haven't done the same for me?

Do you have any idea how disrespectful that is to people who are already suffering? When nobody is standing up to sacrifice themselves to save the weak, broken, sick, and disabled? Why's it our job to save the able bodied? Why can't these people see that even though they think their heart is in the right place, they're still basically telling us "your life sucks anyway and will end soon, you should throw it away for the rest of us who never did anything for you" or more simply "kys."

I'm officially tired of this inconsiderate and frankly ableist bullshit.

Honestly, I wish some mods or admins would make some rules about it since it's ableist.

Without naming names, some folks right here on lemmy... I caught OP's first post that prompted this

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah I'd really rather not call people out directly. I don't think they're trying to be rude. Just thoughtless. But yes, mostly here on Lemmy. If people want to, they can dig through my history to see. It's happened a few times since Luigi allegedly did his thing. One of them was very recent, within the last two hours, which prompted this post.

There are a lot of people, especially on lemmy, who see everything through the lens of their personal ideology and utterly lack the ability to empathize or understand different views or life situations. You only matter to them insofar as to how it can advance or support their ideology. It's pathological, and their views should be ignored.

What is it that makes Lemmy users uniquely selfish or unempathetic?

[–] OccamsRazer 2 points 1 day ago

That's a fair question. It's mostly just my observation, but if I were obligated to guess, it is partially filtering based on the types of people who are active and readily express their opinions on various topics, but also because of the reasons people moved to lemmy in the first place, many of whom were evicted from reddit because they were too extreme.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

@RedditRefugee69 @OccamsRazer Wild guess: normal people. Or utter squares, the debate about the difference still rages on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Normal and unique are antonyms in this context. Your assertion makes no sense.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

But no one's opinion or thoughts here are with anything,...

[–] themeatbridge 23 points 2 days ago

I fully believe someone said this to OP. But it says something about the people OP hangs around with.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nearly every reddit and Twitter comment feed is full of lazy, limp-wrist morons, egging mentally ill people to commit violence for them.

Keep a lookout whenever you are reading comments anywhere for "someone should (...)" or something like that.

There it is again!

Someone insisted to me that “limp wrist” is a homophobic slur. It reads very much like you’re using it to refer to inactive keyboard warriors, but I am interested in your thoughts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I say it to refer to weak impotent losers who complain on the internet all day, and seeing that people use it as a homophobic slur concerns me and I'll stop saying it. Apologies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

It definitely had more of a homophobic connotation in the 90's. I'm pretty sure at least one Kids in the Hall sketch with Scott Thompson references the idea, just because I recall him making a hand gesture with him holding his arms up but hands hanging limp from the wrist.

[–] qarbone 3 points 1 day ago

I believe it started like that because it "looks weak" and/or "effete", e.g. wrist Who knows if another meaning has taken over it since like the early 2000s.
