I don’t particularly care about the downvoting, but I do prefer bidirectional blocking when possible. Obviously a public profile is still visible, but if someone blocked had to make a new account to interact with you, that’d be nice.

That’s just a preference. Whatever the consensus is, I’ll be fine with it. The most important thing is that it’s clear and known how it works. Someone with a stalker should quickly be able to get how things work to decide if they want to be on here.

I’m not attempting to guilt anyone. I apologize if it seemed that way.

This was mostly notice to myself to avoid these comment sections, so I’d see my comment in my profile and remember not to click certain articles. If someone describes the pain in detail they wish on him and it’s relevant to my uncle’s illness, i will imagine my uncle experiencing that pain. i just will, and i see no need to train myself out of it. there’s no value in that, for me. I like reading news comments, so I’ll often just click an article I see with them without thinking.

It’s none of my business what you post.

Thank you

I have a relative with the same cancer so it’s going to be rough hearing people celebrate the pain he’s in. probably should just avoid comments for a bit.

I’ve had luck communicating with the kbin.earth admin on matrix

“I ended the assembly, took it off him and slowly carried it outside and put it behind a far tree in the car park. I wasn’t 100% happy carrying it to be honest.”

I wouldn’t be 100% happy doing that, either, even being 99% sure it couldn’t go off.

Checking what boxes?

I thought they were more interesting than average, even when I disagreed with a take. The kind of site there should be a ton of, with varying takes for people to despise to a baffling degree. Sad to see it gone, or “gone” and turned intp a slop factory with known terrible working conditions for the people left.

Regardless of feelings about the people themselves, it’s awful that they fired the union members probably deliberately at this point in the sale so they wouldn’t have to go along with their contracts.

Chatgpt is awful for people who have delusions.

Can I cut my burger in half and give it to my Eats Partner, or do we have to share like we’re in lady and the tramp?

Is this all a weird ad for his game, to get eyes on it, or is he just like this?

degenerate’s a nazi term, man. that’s why people are getting the wrong idea about you.

lots of reasons - early indoctrination, for one. but there are also benefits for women like this.

women who buy in are given a lot of power - over other women, minorities, children. they’re also told that they’ll be protected from the harm they see happening to other women (that they and the men in their lives participate in creating). i recall a recovering white supremacist woman who believed the white men around her wanted to protect good white women and girls until she was at an event and witnessed a bunch of guys raping a girl. she understood the lie, then.

so, for the same reason as the men. fear and control. and for public figures like this, money and power. women are as painfully human as men are, so over the years i’ve come to accept that the only reason more women aren’t shitheads politically in the way conservative men are is because the harm from being a shithead hits them in more direct ways, like not being able to get appropriate healthcare.

anyway, that’s my rambling answer.

When I first read this I thought “lie and cheat” was trump giving advice or like his motto or something

Trump won the 2024 election on the promise of “the largest deportation operation in American history”, but few anticipated a crackdown on documented immigrants, including visa and green card holders and citizens who have the status by birth or naturalisation, or tourists.

Plenty of people anticipated this. Who’s easier to deport when you want to get rid of a big number quickly? Someone living under the radar? Or someone who’s right on file and complies with orders to come in? And if there’s no due process, you can say they committed any crime you want to justify it. It’s not like morality or honesty would stop anyone involved in the process.

The ideal is that it’s just in there and no big deal. I know that’s all I wanted when I was young.

iirc, there was one old harvest moon game where you played as a woman and you could marry a guy OR live forever with your female bestie. i don’t remember if that one made it to the english speaking world.

stardew valley really upped the game when the guy who made it decided it’d be no big deal if you wanted to pursue a same sex relationship in it. now it feels like a standard of the genre to let you do that, and it really wasn’t always like that. other games did it, too, but it still felt exceptional back then.

(but, yeah, the gay thing was a big deal for me personally, especially at the time sdv came out. i don’t know if it was generally a big deal for most players, but that’s definitely a reason for it to catch a certain sort of player’s eye back when it was first becoming popular.)

He doesn’t need to if no one holds him accountable. He should need to, legally, but, in the current environment, he doesn’t.

Forumverse, I guess.

(Though I’m always in favor of silly word combos, there aren’t many good ones. I like Piebin, but how do you get lemmy in there? Plebin? No thanks.)
