It is explicitly against the rules, yes. In another community, I’d be all for this.

If you and Elon disagree about something, just assume he’s wrong about it. If you both agree on something, THEN you might be mistaken.

There are still things that can be done. Elon would really like it if you thought it was hopeless to stop him, because then you wouldn’t try. He is just a human. If enough people actually tried to stop him, he wouldn’t be able to resist.

For clarity, a lot of the things we can do to stop him aren’t strictly legal, especially with the law in the hands they are. Some of the ways that would work are ones I shouldn’t endorse in a public space. But we do still have options.

You do know that’s not a reliable source, right? Anyone could add an excuse to the list. There’s a button right on the page. It doesn’t ask for evidence to support it, just an opinion.

And the topic is so incredibly leading that the only reason you’d be on that page is if you’re looking for reasons to support an opinion you already had.

I wanna say The Producers. So many works trying to demonise Nazis falls into the trap that demons are kinda cool, but Springtime for Hitler is so ridiculous that no matter how pro-Nazi the lyrics are, you can only laugh at them. And watching Hitler throw it back is just peak theatre.

I wasn’t talking about the “Luigi” comment. I was talking about the “did nothing wrong” comment. The “Luigi” comment can be seen as a call to violence, but the “did nothing wrong” comment was just a sign of support, not a call to violence. And the “did nothing wrong” comment was removed FIRST.

I fully understand what you’re saying. You’re just wrong.

I’m not sure why you claim I’m being vague when I directly quote an entire comment.

You said “it’s against the terms of service, so the comment gets removed”. I pointed to a comment that did NOT violate terms of service, but got removed. You defended the instance with a faulty statement. All I did was point it out.

And no, it wasn’t a call to violence. If the statement was “we need more Luigis”, then THAT’s a call to violence. Just saying “he did nothing wrong” is the same as saying you hope he gets a jury nullification. It’s just taking his side.

about post admin clarification

So, you want how things are being run today? Great. A comment was removed 22 hours ago that simply said “Luigi did nothing wrong”, and the reason given was “wrongful advocacy”. Check the modlogs.

There is currently a mod who doesn’t understand things and is removing some comments they shouldn’t. Present tense.

Incorrect. A comment was removed that simply said “Luigi did nothing wrong”, which aligns with your first example. The reason given was “wrongful advocacy”, which suggests having a positive opinion of Luigi is against TOS.

If it should work as you described, it seems the mods are confused too.

No, I’m from the Shire, and Mordor doesn’t exactly make conversation with us.

But I pay notice to the black smoke. To the Nazgul strikes and the fires of war. I can feel his dark eye watching us all from atop his wasteland tower, whispiering lies and doubt into innocent ears. I hear a poison tongue speaking wicked words into the ear of a decrepit leader, making him but a puppet. I see a war chief turn on his master in a bid for power, only to be cowed and granted a traitor’s reward.

I look to the east, and see Mordor.

But everything you said about Mordor could apply to Russia.

Imagine an apartment building. The landlord decides the local city council is too overbearing, and decides to move to a different city. They expect the tenants to move with them.

Problem 1: The local city is known for inclusivity, and the new city is known for being overpopulated and having an overbearing city council. Either the landlord has sinister motives or didn’t do their research.

Problem 2: The tenants weren’t told of the move before the moving van came, and were given no opportunity to weigh in on the decision. The landlord was calling all the shots.

Problem 3: The landlord sealed the building as they moved, making it impossible for someone else to take over as landlord and keep the building running. There was really no reason to do that.

This went about as smoothly as you’d expect. While the landlords did eventually unseal the building, a lot of people completely lost faith in them and moved into a new apartment building in the same city, but with a new landlord ( !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone ).

They don’t get a cut, they get a wage. That wage is as low as it is because of lobbying from wealthy fucks, and they can reduce it to 0 by firing you with flimsy reasoning. The workers make the rich rich, and the rich makes the workers poor.

Customers want goods cheap, but they’re really bad at noticing what’s cheap and what’s manipulative. JC Penny tried to remove sales and just offer cheaper clothes, but people wanted more expensive clothes with a 50% off label on it. Shops will inflate the price on a luxury item to make a lower-priced item look reasonable, even if the lower price is still inflated.

Absolutely yes. I just need a partner to have them with, which is easier said than done.

You seriously need to talk to people if you think that’s how people are. There are people with self-worth issues. There are people who don’t mourn their family. There are people who had body odor problems, and learned how to fix them, and will understand what you’re doing wrong and how to fix it with a sympathetic eye.

AI will respect you exactly as much as a rock will. It won’t. It won’t even know you’re there. There is no such thing as being less human than AI.

You are a part of people. You can pretend you’re not, but it’s only pretend. You’re better than that.

You’ve been spending too much time with AI. You’re starting to hallucinate like one. They only said “people”, not all that extra stuff you just assumed they meant.

I think a good step one would be to stop assuming “people” means “actually loved normal people who view anyone developmentally behind them as subhuman scum.” It could just mean people. You’re a person. You’re part of “people.”

There’s a lot of people who were where you are right now, and they struggled and pushed forward and grew into something not normal, but functional. They have a ton of advice they had to learn the hard way. And they are all too eager to give the compassion they were never given. They will teach you.

Makes sense. One of those “it’s easier to add than subtract” things. I probably won’t do that, but if it works for you, then that’s good.

Sorry, why did you need to math your hit points? Were you not keeping track already?

I had a little bit of lag earlier, but nothing too bad.

There was an episode of Elementary where they were able to find the victims password on a post-it note, because the company requires a new password every month and he didn’t want to remember a new one that often.
