The best advice I have is to practice writing proper prose in a stream of consciousness style. Try to not edit other than with the delete button on what you just wrote. At least, that’s how I got to my kind of eloquence.

You know how people advise you to read you writing aloud to hear how it sounds? Phrasing, readability, etc. I think the skill I have that helps the most is being able to write cogent and speakable language from a stream of consciousness. Try typing exactly how you speak, errors, accents and local expressions all included. It’s a skill, yeah. Turning your vocalized speech into internal speech into written language; you get to the point where you can produce written language that sounds like someone speaking naturally.

As for flow and getting a point across? Studying prose helps. Simple things like “shorter sentences make a punchier phrase” or whatever help. Having a written style helps also. I’m not exactly sure if any of this helps, but thank you for complimenting my eloquence. I’ve never felt particularly eloquent - but I do speak my mind and only my mind. Popular opinion and groupthink are for unoriginal people. Sure, you can hold a popular opinion, but you’ve also got to have a reason for it that you can express.

Are you being sarcastic or genuine?

I’m an anti-electorialist but I still vote.

National races and US congress votes are like pissing into the ocean, it doesn’t do shit. I vote in local elections to keep assholes from running my city. Do I think it changes anything? Probably not, but I just sort of vote in local elections for my disenfranchised comrades who can’t

I think saying “yo this is actually good but the author is a pedo” is basically the same as admiring Mein Kampf while arguing the death of the author is important

Basically what I mean is Made in Abyss IS BAD and I don’t like people heaping praise on it. The author is a pedophile. The story, characters, and plenty of scenes in it are softcore (or maybe not even softcore, I haven’t read it for obvious reasons) child porn. Sadistic child porn too. I can poke a million holes in Made in Abyss, but what’s the point?

“/uj” means unjerk, or “I am saying the following in a non-satirical, genuine fashion”

“/rj” means rejerk, or “I am saying the following as a satirical parody of the person the circlejerk is based on” which in this case is liberals

/uj Stop building coalitions with Nazis just because they don’t like the particular Nazi who is in charge right now

/rj They may have advocated for trans sports bans, gentrification of majority black neighborhoods, weakening unions and empowering landlords, but look at how well they’re doing holding signs with us at our permitted protest on a weekend! They’re true progressives now!

Personally I think it’s better if WWW moves beyond HTTP as a protocol

#1 popup and tracker enjoyer over here

Oh yeah I didnt even read his name my bad

I think it’s worth it to put in a P.S.S. there now that Des nut basically said “sorry I got caught”

Like seriously this dude is a massive piece of shit, not because he’s a Marxist-Leninist or a tankie or whatever; he’s a transphobe. I hold him in the same regard as I hold Elon Musk at this point because the only real difference is I’m pretty sure Des nut doesn’t have a trans daughter.

I’m nota stranger to holding wildly unpopular opinions. I’m an egoist, it’s in my nature. Personally, I think genAI is dumb. Harassing and abusing people for liking something is unacceptable behavior, though. I’ve been noticing most of my comments have been vote brigaded recently, especially my comment shitting on Dessalines.

I vote yea.

Fuck Dessalines, fuck Lemmy as a software

I don’t have any money though

I have a CDL, Class A with X endorsement.

This changes nothing. CDL manuals, exams, and paperwork are all in English. What I think Trump thinks he’s doing is banning Mexicans from driving trucks in the US, but this is controlled by a reciprocity agreement between the US and Mexico. Surprise, Mexicans don’t have to take American exams for a CDL when they can have a license issued by the Mexican government.

Basically all this is is white supremacist virtue signaling.

I completely disagree. It’s not tribalism, it’s respecting coequal instance cultural differences. Each instance is self-governing, has an in group and an out group, and has culture associated with it as well as having voluntary association. If you want to erase individual instance identity and culture, good for you. Encourage that in your own instance or communities. We, as anarchists, pirates, neurodivergents and other things can decide these things for ourselves

Corporations would prefer to take away your right to public utilities than face a loss to their profit margin.

Nah I’d clock into work with my dragon wings and shit and just be like “fuckin’ mondays” and everyone would nod

Malignant power-tripping asshole this guy. And also a Nazi. Who would’ve guessed?

Paranoia is not going to get me to bin my phone. Cell service and sms despite all it’s vulnerabilities are basically a requirement for life nowadays, unless you’re a squatting complete Diogenes type of anarchist. Which I say, bully to you comrade, but I need to go to work to pay rent

This doin numbers

Clearnet shall become brainfucked by states and corporations if’n it already hasn’t been, and OpenNIC and Dark Web pirates will reign supreme. Remember, this stuff only really affects public trackers and “cable pirates,” not sophisticated private tracker communities or anything else
