  I literally just explained.

  Underlining everything sorta kills the poetry.

  I am describing a minimal-effort dystopian nightmare. You trick the serfs into oppressing themselves. Much cheaper than a panopticon.

  I feel your pain, princess. Best add me to your block list.

  Yeah but it’s an efficient, smooth-running dystopian nightmare

  Ahh, so it’s ok to fuck with my conversation as long as you, smiletolerantly, think its legitimate. Whew. That’s a relief.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is deeply bad that a moderator can remove any post or reply.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What would be better is a system where the sancttiry of the conversation was respected. Where there was 100% assurance that everything you said got to me and everything I said got to you. No question at all. No man in the middle censoring and altering according to his whim.

  It’s a discussion of principle.

  This is a foreign concept?

  If you are saying nothing wrong then you have nothing to fear from moderation, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is deeply bad that a moderator can remove any post or reply.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s weird. The simple fact of being watched and told what you can say. And the possibility that what you’re saying is being edited and what you’re hearing is edited too.

  This strikes me as abhorrent. But most of the people here call it necessary, preferable and even desirable.

  This is a discussion of principle. Save the details till later.

  That doesn’t make having a moderator any less bad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is deeply bad that a moderator can remove any post or reply.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see the connection with my reply

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is deeply bad that a moderator can remove any post or reply.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I am aware of that. But still, giving somebody the power to arbitrarily censor and modify our conversation is a fundamentally bad thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is deeply bad that a moderator can remove any post or reply.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why should we trust you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is deeply bad that a moderator can remove any post or reply.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Surely the constituancy of users have some hand in making the community too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is deeply bad that a moderator can remove any post or reply.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The better way is one where control resides solely with the user.

  You are concentrating your attention. Removing it from everything except the important thing.

  And then all that’s left is the important thing and everything else disappears.

  It’s an extreme alteration of perspective…

  That’s rather accusative.

  Posting anonymous insinuative accusations is shriveled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure. Send them to personalized matrix heaven.

  You don’t even have to trick them into it. Just tell them it’s really cool and then they put on the vr helmet and they’re gone.

  You could even do a simulated vr-exit to alleviate any doubt and shame.

  We get that here too. Damn flipflopping temperature. Warm weather tricks everything into blooming then frost kills it .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The weather is definitely changing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m with your dad on this. There’s just too much profit in lying. And people are too willing to swallow whatever is waved in their face and repeat it as gospel.

  These days, you can only trust your own eyes. That’s science.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The weather is definitely changing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, yes. If you do a window that’s gonna get sprayed then it’s gotta be aluminum and plastic or whatever. That’s a fact. And uv resistant too of course. And that’s pretty common in the world of specify your dims and order a nice window.

  And there are options for how it opens too. It doesn’t have to slide.

  I forgot to mention the temperature swings. 60 one day, 30 the next. You getting those?
