its not like we karma farm on lemmy

that’s exactly what the comment i’m responding to is doing. it contributes nothing and serves only to inflate the poster’s ego and piggyback on upvotes on the comment it’s responding to. admittedly that works a lot less well when it’s not on a platform that artificially inflates votes on frontpage content.

no one knows if its just someone trying to try out online communication for the first time.

if they’re new to it, all the better they be pushed into good habits out of the gate and not be rewarded for shoveling slop onto everyone’s plates

“underrated comment” “came here to post this” “so much this” i swear to fuck if we let this community turn into reddit 2.0 with trite nonsense indistinguishable from bot posts spammed all over every comment section then i will never forgive you motherfuckers who let it happen by trying so hard to be nice.

So the articles of impeachment were drawn up after Clinton lied during a deposition during pretrial discovery for a sexual harassment case brought upon Clinton by Paula Jones.

The reason why Lewinsky was even brought up was because she was mentioned in the Starr report which was a report prepared for the house judiciary committee by independent counsel Ken Starr.

Ken Starr was appointed by Janet Reno, I think, originally to investigate the Clinton’s dealings with the Whitewater Land Company.

So if you connect all the red string the investigation was a real estate one that led to him lying about a blowjob.

Right, right. Why did reading that fill me with despair? Like, I just want some measure of justice served against the orange fascist.
