As an admin I don’t block nearly as often as I ban. Most banned users are from .world or dbzer0. We also defederate the tankie triad.

Is trekkie a political identity?

Ravenor is so much fun!

If Americans don’t primary some good Democratic candidates in the midterms, the only ways this is going to be “over” is an armed revolution or WW3

AI companies support the age verification laws because they want to ban kids from talking to anyone on the internet except their robot pedophiles

What a tumultuous regime!

I blame it on partisan realism, wherein the social construct of consensus reality is bifurcated along political lines. People have learned to use consensus reality as a weapon by denying the very existence of other ideologies. “If you disagree with my political views, you are literally not real”. I wrote a longer explanation on My blog

No, the questions are rhetorical.

That’s a terrible modlog entry. I would have banned OP for transphobia and xenophobia.

Wow, you’re brave! They’re in a war!

The EGS app is so poorly built that Heroic, a third party app made by volunteers, runs faster, has a nicer UI, and has more features. EGS are not a serious competitor.

I can agree that voting in primaries is our best chance to prevent Trump’s coup without bloodshed. If the result in the midterms is favourable, he can be deadlocked until 2028 and his second coup will fail. But if bad, centrist candidates win the primaries, and the voters don’t turn out for those candidates, then his second coup will succeed, and our only chance will be open revolution.

They want the government to ban kids from talking to anyone on the internet except for their robot pedophile. And some parents think those policies are good for kids.

Not really, no

AIl that doesn’t matter when he cancels the 2028 election, declares martial law, and sends the army into the cities to exterminate all trans people and immigrants.

You’ve got to be ready for that. Attend a protest and while you’re there, find the people who organise actions and tell them you want to volunteer. Build a resistance one step at a time.

Humans don’t treat animals well enough.

Monkey’s finger curls

You have just been born in a puppy mill. It’s overcrowded, there’s shit everywhere, and a lot of the dogs you’re crammed in with are diseased. Your mother tries to look at you, but her eyes are stuck closed with conjunctivitis. You try to suck on her nipples but there’s so little milk. You cough.

Am I the cops or the guy smoking?

For Me, confidence came with transitioning to My preferred gender. I couldn’t be happy while thinking of Myself as a man, because I didn’t want to be a man. It was impossible to love Myself as a man. It was easier to like Myself as a woman, but not to love Myself, because I wasn’t a woman either. It’s easy to love Myself as a goddess. And I feel more lovable this way too. I certainly get more romantic attention! And now that I know who I am, I know how to respond to it.

So I’ll say: you have to learn who you are before you can love yourself. Who do you want to be? What does success look like to you? I don’t mean financial or social success, I mean what mental picture of yourself actually makes you happy? Who are you in your wildest fantasies, sexual or otherwise?

Congratulations on having the correct opinion on Controversial Topic, friend!
