There’s no actual reason to cast doubt on that makeup except for whatever prejudices you have against that community

Not trusting the administrators is not an actual reason to doubt what the administrators say?

It is like you’re a slave, in that you’re literally a slave

But We The People collectively believe that slavery is fine. Even put it in our constitution

I’m curious what that has to do with kowtowing to the US government. I think I provided a pretty good example of proof that Reddit doesn’t moderate based on what their government says is true

“People play Dragon Age to escape politics” lmao good one

That is not the same as telling someone they aren’t trans. He’s expressing doubt about the veracity of the results of the poll, not about any particular user(s)

“You people,” huh?

I hate how they’re incapable of actually thinking, so they latch onto specific phrases so they can pretend you’re a racist so they don’t have to engage with what you’re actually saying

Yeah I love how reddit banned /r/Sino

Oh wait, they didn’t. They actually allow their users to criticize their government

All dogs go to heaven

You know this guy is gonna say they are allowed to, and choose not to because they love their government sooo much. Kind of like how the people of Germany loved Hitler so much that 99.3% of them voted for him in his last election.

All genocides are bad

“Wow you must be some sort of racist”

???

It’s “correct views on history, nationality, state, or culture” as according to the CCP. Imagine an American company with that clause, but those “correct views” were as according to the US government. You would be against that, yeah? Imagine getting your comment removed because you question the US’s authority

Lmao Lemmy was founded by the .mls, this dude has no idea what he’s talking about

Famously the hardest logic puzzle in the world: Blue Eyes

https://xkcd.com/blue_eyes.html

A group of people with assorted eye colors live on an island. They are all perfect logicians – if a conclusion can be logically deduced, they will do it instantly. No one knows the color of their eyes. Every night at midnight, a ferry stops at the island. Any islanders who have figured out the color of their own eyes then leave the island, and the rest stay. Everyone can see everyone else at all times and keeps a count of the number of people they see with each eye color (excluding themselves), but they cannot otherwise communicate. Everyone on the island knows all the rules in this paragraph.

On this island there are 100 blue-eyed people, 100 brown-eyed people, and the Guru (she happens to have green eyes). So any given blue-eyed person can see 100 people with brown eyes and 99 people with blue eyes (and one with green), but that does not tell him his own eye color; as far as he knows the totals could be 101 brown and 99 blue. Or 100 brown, 99 blue, and he could have red eyes.

The Guru is allowed to speak once (let’s say at noon), on one day in all their endless years on the island. Standing before the islanders, she says the following:

“I can see someone who has blue eyes.”

Who leaves the island, and on what night?

There are no mirrors or reflecting surfaces, nothing dumb. It is not a trick question, and the answer is logical. It doesn’t depend on tricky wording or anyone lying or guessing, and it doesn’t involve people doing something silly like creating a sign language or doing genetics. The Guru is not making eye contact with anyone in particular; she’s simply saying “I count at least one blue-eyed person on this island who isn’t me.”

And lastly, the answer is not “no one leaves.”

Lmao imagining kid you opening the book to see the page pointed at “see,” only to have to reread the page anyway because you lost track of what a character was seeing

I have used squares of toilet paper in the past. But if I own the book, I’m as like to use the dog ear as I am to find a piece of scrap paper

Chaotic evil here. Books exist to be read, anything you do to aid that endeavor is justifiable

My worst one was expressing doubt about all information we get regarding the Israel/Palestine conflict because it is definitely being used as a wedge to divide Americans and make us easier to manipulate. Context: the IDF found Super Evil Battle Plans on dead Hamas soldiers, instructing them to kill civilians. Because they need to be reminded that that’s their mission I guess.

My second worst one was saying that we shouldn’t euthanize every pit bull. Context: a pit bull attacked someone, and everyone in the thread thought the right move was to euthanize the whole breed.

My third worst one was saying that the Fahrenheit temperature scale is more useful for average people than Celsius. Context: shitpost about fahrenheit being a bad temperature scale

It’s because we’re old. I was hit hard with the realization the other day, that I’m not the target audience of this product anymore. Does anyone else have trouble remembering that they’re not a kid? I’m like 30 years old, and I do not identify as an adult

This could basically be “before Lain” and “after Lain” for me

Fair warning, it’s a weird one. I had to read a few short essays after I finished it to really get it. Highly recommend, it’s only 12 episodes so not much of a time investment
