you see dicks everywhere?

Yeah but it isn’t the key central focus of the deal anymore then. It’s just a convenient accessory.

Good catch. Yes, messaging is an exception. I am not familiar with those others.

We can still observe and discuss methods for making observations.

Yes. Hypotheses. Ideas.

But the point of the scientific method is to get us high-quality ideas. How would that cure the derangement of an idea-centered perspective?.

Maybe if you removed the model-making part. Leave the primacy of observation and the utility of peer-review. Maybe.

I think that tap-hold to select text and raise context menu is a function of every text-using app I’ve got.

There is also the assumption of the central importance of ideas, which is a rather deranged perspective when you think about it.

Don’t get me wrong, ideas have high utility, for memory and language and such, but still.

An idea is just a little thing, and any association between it and the rest of reality is purely contrived.

Those are rather awkward options. Standard functionaliy is preferable, even with loss of markdown.

I think it’s a detail that the dev just hasn’t yet addressed.

On a similar note, by mobile lemmy client won’t let me copy test. Can’t even select it.

I relate. I edit, then edit again. How anybody can come up with the right words the first time is beyond me. And ya, brevity is power.

Like you’re in a slasher but pretend you’re in a hallmark.

That is an opinion that I used to share. No more.

I have offered a dozen strange ideas here. Not difficult or complex, just strange. They are not received well.

Constraining your topic

A kind of politics-flavored smalltalk. Yes, that is the local dialect.

Believe it or not, I have discussed subjects that matter deeply to me in online forums. But lately it’s just fruitless fishing.

I think we have a thousand mob-squawks posing as niche communities. Different flavors, same conversations.

Completely open and popular forums are not entirely a good thing.
