Happy accidents! Have you had your coffee yet?

I forgot I left this coffee in the freezer to cool off.

      Speaking of uncomfortable coffee conversations, I notice our new mod friend deleted their post in off my chest. They didn’t like the narrative that was forming.

      Like watching a slow motion Trainwreck, I have to stay subscribed just to see what’s going to happen next.

      So far they did not violate any of the Lemmy.world terms of service. Though I feel like we’re doing a disservice to somebody with paranoid delusions, by enabling them in a platform where they can seek only reinforcement of their delusions and delete anything that pulls them back to reality. And that makes me sad

        Just like it’s a fine line between brilliant satire and moron there’s a massive overlap between genius troll and someone who’s very mentally ill.

        I hope it’s the former.

          I genuinely think it’s the latter. They’re very consistent, anything the challenges they’re delusion gets deleted. Anything that reinforces it stays.

          Looking at their posting history, they seem like a genuine person trying to reach out, but they’re delusions push them away from people. So they’re looking for some form of connection, and a reinforcement of their delusion.

          It makes me sad honestly, though they do make for interesting internet content. I just wish Lemmy showed you deleted posts, so the train wreck was visible for posterity

              All the more reason that the post should be maintained for posterity!

              Lemmy allowing a thread poster to delete the entire thread is probably something that has to change long-term.

                  Meh. I don’t really care about one crazy person, that would just reinforce their delusions. I do care about lemmie’s long-term health, and content being removed by a single person destroying hundreds of other people’s effort is a long-term problem

    I went to Buffalo today to go Memorial Day sale shopping (as they say on Letterkenny if you Yanks have one thing sorted it’s your shopping), and we went to the very best cafe in the world, and I had a brown sugar cardamom oat milk latte that was life. And holy cow did I clean up shopping; the sales plus 25 percent off coupon meant I saved 500 dollars and came away with 35 items of clothing and shoes. Now just to smuggle it back across the border haha.

    Enjoy your coffee OP!
