You are technically correct

The best kind of correct

This is inaccurate

Some of us aren’t under 40

Women breaking out of previously accepted societal norms were seducing (guys? boys? men?) into sexy parties that probably weren’t risque enough for late night skinemax but too far for PBS.

Pearls were clutched

I don’t disagree. I think if it’s an issue the users have the power to resolve it

Right, which is why I put the line after that in

I don’t get it either. Defederation is a tool just like banning or spam prevention. If it’s unused it’s pointless to have.

But you don’t ban everyone for a single offense just like to don’t defederate lightly. If you do then people will move elsewhere and the problem resolves itself

Nah. I’ve had a domain registered with them for years and I just got the email too

I’m reasonably confident that every part of the inhabited world has been “lost territory” more than once.

In all fairness that actress showed up fairly often for playing a dead character

I thought that was a step further. Originally it was gold until Reddit made that a thing you could pay them for so people started doing silver and the wheel turned again

Or even make your own, with blackjack and hookers!

I doubt anyone will want to see Tucker on X past the first couple minutes of hilarity.

But I’m old and I think they call that Molly now

That’s a very big part of it.

When fucknugget wanted to start a company he had plenty of credit either on his own, with his name, or both. If he blew 50k in an attempt he could try again next week.

If I blew 50k I’d be homeless.

It’s way easier to high stakes gamble when you won’t notice you lost.

Before merging with Yutani?

Us queers need to stand together

I’m not trying to co-opt anything. Far from. I just want to remind everyone that you don’t need to know your place in the rainbow to want to see its beauty.

grow up and use the block feature.

I’m really sick of this talking point. If history hasn’t demonstrated to you that ignoring a problem doesn’t resolve the problem then you take ought to go back and read some more.

If you can’t stand to be bothered by others trying to carve out consideration for your fellow humans then I’m glad this may be our only interaction.

Computing resources got cheaper so development didn’t need to be as careful.

If one month you have $100 for food, but the next month you’ll have $2000 are you still going to eat like you’ve got $100? Of course not!

But another part of the problem is that when development was slim you also weren’t running very many things at once. I can remember writing different autoexec.bat and config.sys files to boot straight into whatever game I was going to play. Most to all of the resources were available.

Now we’re constantly running a handful of things. The OS itself is huge, plus a browser that you haven’t closed with a handful of tabs, plus the app for the store you bought the game from, and whatever else is in the background, and so on. So you feel the drag more because everything wants as many resources as it can grab before something else does.

Which is weird. I don’t know how they even hold the fork.

I don’t feel you replied to anything I have said in good faith.

That’s fine. I don’t feel like you’re here in good faith either, so I guess we’re on equal footing.

misusing the word “citation” isn’t noteworthy

I disagree. It’s a misrepresentation. These are common in your rhetoric, like your position on sanctions, but we’ll get to those in a moment.

You didn’t respond to the US artificial famine in Yemen that is active today at all.

Or any other genocide the US has participated in, but you choose to specifically call out this one.

I didn’t anticipate you talking about Russian or Chinese sanctions and wasn’t thinking that way.

Then perhaps you should be more careful with your language choices. You said sanctions are bad, but these ones aren’t. Yet you didn’t address where the line is for you, despite just admitting these ones aren’t bad. Whether they’re good or not is, presently, immaterial.

I was mentioning sanctions in regard to oil rich nations

No, you mentioned sanctions. You may have intended to be more specific, but you weren’t. No one else knows what is in your mind so if you want to discuss things in a productive manner you need to be able to do effectively. Saying one thing and meaning another is not that.

the wars and sanctions that I have looked into

Are not the entirety of the wars and sanctions that have been taken. If I judge you only by your worst actions would that be fair? This is by no means a claim that the US is any one thing or another, but pointing out that you can’t pick and choose when you’re trying to make a judgement of morality.

at the expense of starving children and causing unneeded suffering.

I will point you at any international policing action ever. Do you think innocent German children in the 1940s felt no repercussions from the war? The same question works in the 19-teens and following. Whether they’re right or not, unless you’ve got a better solution, they are, on occasion, necessary. Innocent have suffered because of the actions of the powerful, both above them and against those above them, for as long as there have been people. In the words of John Lennon, “you say you’ve got a real solution? We’d all live to see the plan”.

I don’t know where you’ll separate new lines of thought from existing ones. I frankly don’t care. You can reply to everything or nothing. It’s more important that you come to understand you do not have the position you appear to think you do. I doubt you’ll get there today, but I hope you can at some point.
