I love chao from sonic, so these guys:

So you believe an ethical AI cannot exist no matter what, you accuse me of being a police bootlicker, gullible, and neutral to worker exploitation, and I am supposed to respond to this in good faith? Sorry, not going to take your bait and engage in a flame war with you, after all it is rule 1 here.

"this implies correcting misinformation should be discouraged"

"I report that community rule violation, that is not trolling as I see it"

"I am respectful of the rules of communities"

This is a small snippet of your history. It's a 2 hour ban, you can either chill or not, up to you.

Your conduct is off-putting and should be discouraged, to say the least. Hence a 2 hour ban. Db0's agreement with you was not made with me. It seems like you want it to be a rule that the db0 instance is a safe haven for trolls, effectively putting it at risk of being defederated by other instances.

Hi, I am the PTB that banned this user for 2 hours. As what was explained to you in the appeals channel, you've been trolling for months and when the person you troll gets mad, you report them for things like 'incivility.' You've done this many times to multiple users for months. That is why you were banned, not because of a specific thread and report. This was a warning to you to knock it off, as was explained to you.

It was not made known to other admins that you had contacted db0 in advance of making your account that you were using your account just to do things like this. It makes a lot more sense now why there was this leeway. I thought trolling other users was against the rules, but it seems the rules are muddy about it. We have often been warning people through 1 day bans to knock things off. So your timeout seemed appropriate.

Considering that Bethesda refused to roll in the community bug fixes with their rereleases of Skyrim

IIRC Bethesda lets mod creators own the rights to their mods so Bethesda can't just roll in the bug fixes into the actual game without the mod creator's permission. I know the Skyrim unofficial patch is ran by a team (Arthmoor) obsessed with DMCA'ing other people as well as just being dicks in general. Some of the "fixes" aren't really fixes and just what the team personally thought how the game should be.

Margaret Atwood used real life events and history in The Handmaid's Tale. She didn't invent it or make it up, she used inspiration from events that already happened or were happening while she wrote the book. You are just seeing what happened in history, in the past, happen again in the present.

The source is a copypasta from Trump's first term in 2017, it was posted by Bernice King on FB and has been modified over the years.

Some Wise Advice Circulating:

  1. Don’t use his name; EVER (45 will do)
  2. Remember this is a regime and he’s not acting alone;
  3. Do not argue with those who support him–it doesn’t work;
  4. Focus on his policies, not his orange-ness and mental state;
  5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow;
  6. No more helpless/hopeless talk;
  7. Support artists and the arts;
  8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it;
  9. Take care of yourselves; and
  10. Resist!

Completely agree. They ruined GoT during that last season.

I liked Daenerys Targaryen from GoT, she went through a lot of abuse/trauma but learned to assert herself and rose up to free slaves, kill slave masters, and raise dragons. She seemed to be a feminist icon, wanting to end oppression. But the TV show decided to ruin her character, ugh.

I used to have long nails because they actually grew. I used to like decorating my nails and such. But then my nails suddenly kept breaking even at short lengths, bleeding. I try to keep them trimmed so they don't painfully break but they're so fragile, easily bend, and are just brittle. I've been on supplements for a decade and nothing seems to help :/

Hates feminists. Shits on female celebs and drama around them but not male. Brings up how dumb all the women their age are a lot. Watches certain youtubers that are right-wing manosphere types. Common bs like men are logical, women are emotional, praises men for sleeping around but scolds women for the same, etc. Mention the gender pay gap and they say men do dangerous jobs while women only do cushy jobs as an explanation. Is a conservative religious type or says they are in the center / don't like politics but when you mention an issue about women it is brainworms galore. If two women appear to take the same sides in an argument, it is only because they are both women. Talks shit/complains about women in a generalizing way.

TW:SAThey say women lie about rape a lot and just by being accused, the man's life is all over. Even when a man is found guilty, it is because everyone is biased and thus we should not believe women. Says rape statistics are overblown, etc.

 

How do you gals feel about something like this? This hasn't gone through clinical trials so still early stages.

I had such bad reactions to the Mirena IUD and minipill, I've been on the oral combo BC since then. I wish I didn't need hormones but they help with heavy/painful periods (even skipping them), birth control, and the estrogen helps with acne. I'm not sure if I can give myself a shot 😬 I'm pretty squeamish around needles and bad with pain.

-EDIT- Fixed URL - sorry all

 

I love the app so far but I am having trouble with opening Lemmy links from other instances. When someone links to say a Lemmy.world post, I am hit with a window saying I have to have a Lemmy.world account in order to vote and such. This is incredibly inconvenient, I don't know how voyager does it but voyager just lets me view the post and vote/etc. in my instance without forcing me to change accounts. Anyway to get rid of this behavior so it is more like voyager? I want other Lemmy links to be opened in my instance so I can vote and such.

Also unrelated but just now I was unable to upload a picture from summit and had to switch apps to upload the photo.
