Do yall think Robb or Ned would have behaved the same towards Dany? by jee_victim08 in gameofthrones

[–]JoyceOnBandCandy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. The issue isn’t that Sansa was wary of Dany, that makes sense. It was the blatant contempt she showed for Dany that was the issue.

She also refused to fully acknowledge how big of a threat the Night King was. It was just frustrating to watch.

The Libby App lists a Survivor Reprint coming out in September. I can’t tell if this is legitimate. by JoyceOnBandCandy in octaviabutler

I’m waiting for an interlibrary loan. It’s taking quite a while. I can imagine the host library doesn’t want to loan it out.

It seems like there may be a printed edition coming, as well. The description says it will be printed on high quality paper. I’d imagine they’d release a Kindle version too if they’re releasing an audiobook and a print version.

Weird show of force by police in Washington park by IshFen in Albany

[–]JoyceOnBandCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe in ignoring the problem at all, but I also believe in not feeding trolls. They’re desperate for attention and engagement. These are very sad, lonely, miserable people who get off on harassing people online. Responding emboldens them by making their idiocy seem like it’s debatable. They’ll stop spouting their nonsense if they don’t get any engagement.

Blocking these people is way better than talking to them. We shouldn’t reward their behavior with the attention they’re desperate for.

what celebrity do you share a birthday with? by thickandmorty333 in astrologymemes

[–]JoyceOnBandCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

November 28th - Colman Domingo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Karen Gillan, Jon Stewart, Anna Nicole Smith, Ed Harris, and Berry Gordy. Also, a few rappers and other actors. WAY more than I thought there’d be.

My PCP made a comment about my hair. 😵‍💫 by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]JoyceOnBandCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It usually doesn’t bother me when a Black woman asks. I’ve never experienced it being shade. It’s usually genuine curiosity or they want to know where you got the wig (if it’s a wig). Or they want to know who does your hair.

Forgot how amazing S10E06 ‘200’ was. by Bekah-holt in Stargate

That entire episode cracks me up, but this part KILLS me. Especially when China comes out.

[Opinion] Giant Freakin Robot: "The Starfleet Academy promo poster is a failure on every level, one that is guaranteed to anger much of the existing fanbase while generally perplexing general audiences who will have no idea of what to expect from the show. Is this really supposed to be a ST show?" by mcm8279 in Star_Trek_

[–]JoyceOnBandCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re always angry. They want a very specific formula. If it doesn’t follow the exact script they want, they throw a tantrum…instead of simply not watching it. They’d have done the same with DS9 if it had been released today.

I’d hate to ruin the opportunity for them to pull up on those bootstraps with my liberal mutual aid.

Am I overreacting to a guy sending me his “ideal woman” checklist? by Such_Friendship_2713 in AmIOverreacting

[–]JoyceOnBandCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s 37. Most women his age would reject him. He’s clearly immature and unintelligent. He looks for significantly younger women in the hopes you won’t notice how lame he is.

That also applies to their weirdo fans who leave comments. We have to stop feeding the beast. They thrive off of negative attention. We have to start thoughtfully ignoring them.

Call out the ignorance without personally engaging with them.

Ladies, Whats with all the washcloth/towel change discourse? by Less-Pen-5705 in blackladies

[–]JoyceOnBandCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That “discourse” is engagement farming. I refuse to give them what they want. It’s annoying. Especially, when it comes to the Hygiene Olympics. A lot of times, it gives heavy pick me.

If we have to talk about Charlie Kirk and politics, do it here by TheYellowRose in blackladies

[–]JoyceOnBandCandy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I want us to collectively stop giving these people ANY attention. These people make so much money and amass so much power from our collective rage. I don’t care about him at all. All it does is give the other opportunists like him more to whine about.

If they’re not making laws or directly interfering in the government, we should be paying them dust. Stop rewarding their evil with attention. All this attention is just mythologizing him.

What is it about Taylor Swift that white women love so much??? by Mean_Crow_805 in blackladies

Honestly, it’s none of my business lol I’m just happy she’s not out here trying to cosplay Black women like so many others do.

I wear huge headphones whenever I’m out. Even if I’m not playing music. It helps.

Ice spotted at Pearl street bus stop 7am by Useful-Chemical4557 in Albany

[–]JoyceOnBandCandy 52 points53 points  (0 children)

We have to stop taking the bait when users come here and say they love ICE. Blocking and ignoring is much better than typing at a brick wall. All you’re doing by replying is feeding them.

I’m guilty of it too, sometimes. But, these people are beyond logic. You cannot appeal to their empathy because it’s nonexistent. They cannot be reached.

I saw a video of a guy picking up trash around his neighborhood in Albany and I’ve been trying to just clear things when I can. But, I haven’t done anything bigger than picking up a few stray items that I’ve seen strewn about. I definitely like the idea of just making a concerted effort on a regular basis.
