Yeah I was pretty disappointed when my server started limiting what political servers I see by default. I want it to show up and then choose for myself, not have to sell out every community. Their supposed to just showvup. It's not like they were nazis or porn even.

My 6 year old big sister convinced my mother that my father lighting up in the house on the way outside to smoke was not okay and then convinced my father that smoking was bad enough to quit, even if it really was only every one or two pipes a week

That's clearly the intention, but I'm not so defeatist. I think we'll absolutely go to war as an attempt at distraction. But I think they're really scared, and if they are I trust that we still have a chance at some real consequences. I don't trust that Donald Sr. will live to see any, but I think many other people will.

Online anonymity also let's people forget that the people they're being assholes too have real feelings. It's not just retaliation that stops them. Most of us really don't want to hurt someone, but some need a reminder that online folks are just as real.

This is kind of true, but a little misleading. They sell it at a loss because it was about to expire. If it's reaching the sell-by date. They cook it and sell it as a rotisserie chicken to recoup the losses. They're usually only selling it at a loss because that's the alternative to throwing it out.

Expanding it to keep all political discussions out would be nice

Not even possible. Every post would devolve into a discussion of what's political.

Just don't. Why would you? We're talking about adults

When I met am otherwise neurological adult who gets hung up on what others choose to do with their free will, all I can think is "grow the fuck up"

I've got a cousin who gets upset about what I choose to eat. I don't even understand where someone like that is coming from.

It seems like that may have been a primary qualification.

The people I know personally who act like it's so terrible to be helping someone else have all received significant assistance from the government and their communities.

Please accept the assistance. That's what you need.

I don't care if it's forever. Everyone deserves to eat and a place to sleep and everyone deserves to know that they will still have food and a safe place to sleep later. Just don't try to keep it from others once you're back on your feet.

This isn't four heat of the moment deaths. This is farming people in a way we haven't seen at this scale for a long time.

We really don't know what happened. We've got snippets and they're horrible. But it's only snippets.

 

If we had evolved around a red dwarf, would red be our white? And we'd have primary colors that make up red?

 

Given the different way they apps are structured I don't even know if it's a sensible question, but is there a way to subscribe to something on a Madison server?

The server as a community, or a tag as a community? Does mastodon have some other concept that I could subscribe to?

 

I'd like to migrate to bookwyrm, but after I created my account I saw that imports from goodreads agent working right now. How long has it been down? Is it likely to get fixed soon?

 

I was skeptical of gatherers ergonomics based on the jep, but this devoxx talk really makes them seem more approachable.
