Society as it currently exists is not designed for your survival while following your ideals - you are not obligated to suffer by forcing a square block into a circle hole

Working towards a better world does not conflict with living in the world as it stands. Just keep working towards widening that hole.

Except all of the pushback is actually against casting/writing/changes, she simply answered questions honestly. I would argue that those who made the decisions are the source, not her relaying of them.

Environment affects hearing, it just doesn’t affect the finding that women have better hearing on average.

I’d argue that it’s not really Zegler’s fault… Not that there’s anything special about her performance, but there isn’t really anything wrong with it, either.

It’s an adaptation that never had to get made, doubled up with with weird changes for a nostalgia bomb, poor writing, forgettable songs, and mediocre acting. It’s less that it’s a bad movie and more that there’s just literally nothing good about it, either - it’s a solid 5/10 all the way down, in every category.

What? This isn’t even remotely true. Standard glass blocks half of UV at best (UVB), and it’s the less harmful half.

The power button is stuck on, and it does an occasional unsettling arc sound and the image slightly distorts for a millisecond. I believe the latter is fairly common among old CRTs but I don’t know much more than that.

Sounds like a degauss!

It’s relatively common for CRT screens degauss as they turn on, so it makes some sense that it’s still happening, even if the power button otherwise doesn’t work - the degauss must be triggered by a different internal mechanism than the one controlling the power

Oh god, thanks for that fucking PTSD bomb

If a man had sex with a woman, then proceeded to have copious amounts of sex with other men and never with a woman again, would you call him straight?

There have been TEN Saw movies? Damn.

Honestly didn’t even realize I still had it installed, but it’s gone now.

Halo pistol, easy choice. Two to the body, one to the head

I haven’t personally used it, but my coworker said using Cursor with the newest Claude model is a gamechanger and he can’t go back anymore 🤷‍♂️ he hasn’t really liked anything outside of cursor yet

Same admin that asked if he was in the wrong for banning someone that reported a comment that he thought was fine. Response was basically unanimous that he was in the wrong.

Naturally, he doubled down and decided that he was absolutely in the right. I blocked him and the instance and am definitely happy with that choice.

In the linked thread here, the admin even says “This is a super weird and authoritarian philosophy,” when someone called out the bans as power tripping 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 because e-stalking people and banning them for participating in other communities is absolutely not authoritarian at all

Too little, too late. As usual.

The only ones foaming at the mouth are overprivileged piss baby queers who get OfFeNdEd that they were “misgendered” by a stranger calling them “they” for the first time upon meeting. Aka USING ENGLISH THE WAY ENGLISH WORKS. Not misgendering, not deadnaming, not being intentionally offensive.

Bruh. Your foam is getting everywhere.

Your problem was trusting an instance to be pro-trans when they explicitly support anti-trans trolls like drag. They don’t care about the community or the effects of their rules, they just like being able to make them and have power.

I think you came here to get a pat on the ass and have people agree with you, not to hear dissenting opinion.

100000% this. There is literally NO consideration of any of the points brought up, simply OP pontificating around everyone else’s thoughts and coming to their own conclusion every time. It literally always comes back to “but it’s my instance,” which nobody has actually disagreed with.

Moderate your own instance however you want, but they asked for a judgement and the consensus is nearly-unanimously against them.

You seem set in your ways, so good luck. What communities do you moderate? I’m just going to block and move on if this is the policy there 🤷‍♂️

Like I said, it helps that my perception is that there is “repeated” harassment of FlyingSquid in various forms. It means that any single report, even if it comes from an account that hasn’t been doing any of it, forms part of a pattern of spam like you’re talking about.

So, in your view, FlyingSquid is a superior class of user that cannot be interacted with negatively without being banned for it? I was lightly on the PTB side before, but I guess you’re just straight up authoritarian and favoring specific users.

Someone reporting something, you disagreeing with it being a reportable offense, and the user getting banned for it… a single mistake isn’t abuse. If you had explained that doing it again would lead to a ban, and then they did, sure.

There’s literally no way to take this other than PTB. Unless he threatened you in the DM, you’re absolutely the one wrong here.
