- Comment on Caves of Qud gets a huge new Beta released with the big UI redesign 5 months ago:
I don't like it. It's not holding my hand tight enough during the introductory phase.
Tried the demo, tinker template, wouldn't let me create a construct because I didn't have projectile ammo.
Engineer, but doesn't even have a flashlight.Bleh.

Huh. Guess my bank isn't my bank for telling me to move my money in a separate account to keep it safe (from myself).

- Comment on Google employees question execs over 'decline in morale' after blowout earnings 6 months ago:
They don't care. They have monopoly over everything!
They have your phones private data, they have your search history, they have your automatically uploaded pictures to Google drive of your butthole!
They own you and you'll do as they like, whenever they like!
Now where's that guy who knows how to operate all that stuff? Wait, he was fired to lower costs?

- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 6 months ago:
Nope. They'd probably move to YouTube shorts or some other lower quality copy of Vine.
- Comment on Are you also able to stutter in sign languages? 6 months ago:
If it's psychological, it might happen sort of. We are quite prone to subconscious suggestions, so someone in a susceptible state of mind could perhaps convince themselves to unintentionally create such a type of stutter.

I believe it to be a sort of indexer that has to scan the content of the PC each time it's opened in order to pull something in front fast. So the more there is, the longer it takes.

So, we prefer dictatorships now? Interesting.
- Comment on When did breasts become a thing that needed to be concealed in public and why? 6 months ago:
I blame the uptight protestants who needed a severe moral code or something.
Also, for a time period, in some tropical places bare breasts supposedly meant a prostitute was working.
I think that in Korea, up to the early 20th century, women of age were topless to show they weren't married. Covered up meant they were no longer free? Need a source on it for specifics if anyone cares to search.
And it was in an African tribe i think that the opposite happened. Bare breasts meant a mother that was actively breastfeeding.
It's all foggy memories though, so accuracy is low.
- Comment on What characterizes feminine strength? 7 months ago:
Oh yeah. Yin and Yang. Feminine and masculine types of energy. Gentle and brusque.
Described as a type of philosophical way of life, the theory suggests neither can do without the other. Full Yin extinguishes, full Yang destroys. Together, they temper the opposite, as equals. - Comment on "This generation is finished" --previous generation 7 months ago:
Sure they do. It's called a midlife crisis.

How much of a responsibility? Is a token effort enough or should you be charged with a crime for not trying hard enough?

WebMD says it's a brain tumor. Or an ear infection. Or lupus. But it's almost never lupus.

So if some random hacker takes over your network connection and publishes illegal content which then leads back to you, you should be held responsible. It's your platform after all.
- Comment on If the agreed upon age of the Universe is updated from 13 billion years old to 26 billion years old how does that affect Science and Astrophysics? 7 months ago:
This changes everything!!!
Think of the rate of decay!
Think of the motion!
Think of the odds of finding life!
Think of the light!
Think of time itself!
We were nothing before, but we are doubly nothing now, which is much worse!
Panic! Panic at the disco!

You can try, within your interpretation of their rules. And if you get banned for that, take pictures.

If you have evidence of abuse and selective enforcement of the rules, show it in order to allow the admins to act on it.
Don't just lash out, document the exchange. Keep a record of the favouritism. - Comment on Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear 7 months ago:
Understandable, however, generalities sometimes aren't enough in a court of law.
The difference between the spirit and letter of the law allows for interpretations that don't agree with each other. As we can see in this situation.And like it or not, this is a social court of law. Moderators and admins are judges who follow the rules and administer relative justice. You can either agree to give them the latitude to have their own interpretation of the rules as long as they stick to them, or you make concise rules that offer no room for discussion.
You might say each instance can have its own rules and that is true, but when those written rules are the same and defederation starts to happen because there is disagreement on the meaning of those words, the "in general" part is going to be the mainstay of how rules are enforced.
And, in general, that's part of what causes societies to fall.

bigotry
ˈbɪɡətri
noun
obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.If the person in question went after them simply because they are part of the group called 'tankies', the first rule was broken.
If the person in question was the first to throw out insults, the second rule was broken.If however the opposing group initiated the conflict, broke the same rules and was not punished, then the complaint here is fair and should be pursued in order to prevent an escalation of abuse.
...
The nasty thing about bigotry is that by definition, it doesn't matter which group is being discriminated against. It accepts all discrimination under its label.

- Comment on How can a person be very sad, irritated or angry and still not show it on their face ? 7 months ago:
After years of staring at a CRT monitor and increased sensitivity to light, I have developed a resting bitch face that acts out mostly on particularly sunny days.
I highly don't recommend it. I loved staring at the sky.

Having been here and there and back again, every instance has its zealous moderation depending on the topic.
.world being large, the staff don't have time to care about individual cases and are focused more on removing the conflict. It's less about correctness and more about keeping the peace.
