You’d probably be tossed out a window before the day was over, TBH.

The OG, for reference

Jihad, civilised disagreement. Potayto, potahto

Many people disagree with the bot existing. Blocking it is just a surrender, downvotes show that the disagreement continues and lets others know it exists.

I’m just happy he’s formatting his titles now

This was a long anti-tech rant that somehow neglected to mention what their actual issue was and forced me to dive into the links just to get the necessary context to understand what they were talking about. TLDR: Patreon’s moving over to subscription-only and dropping their per-creation billing system because Apple is forcing them to.

Could we actually stay at least somewhat on topic?

You mean things like babies with extensible arms?

Ok, I’d read that. Let me know if you ever remember the title!

Standard practice in some cultures. Why all this shaming over something that is ultimately voluntary for the participants?

The driver / conductor could presumably stop it if needed

We already do, it’s called dopamine

Why do we need to excrete the tears before reabsorbing them, instead of just producing and consuming them internally?

When Svetlana arrived the space station, she was reportedly handed an apron from her male crewmates and jokingly told to get to work in the kitchen. But she’s also described in fond terms the flowers she received upon arrival: “They gallantly presented me with flowers they had grown in orbit and those plain flowers in a transparent box were the dearest present to me. We hugged each other, kissed each other, in a word, our meeting was the usual meeting of friends who had not met for a long time.” After this initial meeting she was quickly able to establish a working, professional relationship with her crew.

Funny, she didn’t see anything wrong with it either

She was laughing, avoiding to herself

Lindell provided data that turned out to be totally irrelevant to his claims

Pretty misleading. The problem isn’t that he had diesel generators in the trailers, that’s standard practice. It’s that he built a very tiny fraction of the number he promised investors he had actually built, and spent the rest of the funds.

Edit: in case this comment is confusing, reason is OP drastically changed their title without noting the edit.

One problem steam doesn’t have is with fake accounts. They can be reasonably sure which accounts are legit and ignore votes from the more questionable ones

NATO randomly not wanting to end war

How does that not fall under misinformation?

This isn’t lemmy, this is a specific community. And your argument brings us back to the whole issue between mods and community members.

Being a dick to someone trying to make the place better

Members of a community do have a stake in the community, and in this case, are trying to keep the place from getting worse. It’s an open question who the dick is in the discussion, especially since it was an open call for feedback that then subsequently ignored every comment that disagreed with the idea. It very much came across as a call for ‘positive feedback only’.
