It might seem bad now, but later in your twenties you’ll lose respect for people you don’t know, too! By your early 30s you should be on track to lose respect for entire institutions, and eventually just humanity in general!

Mid to late 30s is an awkward phase of losing faith you didn’t even know you had. Like, dozens of times. You’ll hit rock bottom again, and again, and again, and whatever new low your brain just established for human malice and stupidity will be gut punched as your peers enthusiastically elect a pedophilic antichrist. Twice.

Eventually you realize there is actually no bottom, and you start to go numb - which is fucking great compared to the decades of getting dragged through through the coals!!

@Aniki@feddit.org quietly posts about misleading headlines!

Yeah mine’s pretty extensive as well. Not so much key words, but definitely communities. Just one instance though.

This honestly feels like they’re deliberately giving ammo to the defense team.

…well, assuming there’s any intention to actually adhere to the law, which isn’t the safest of assumptions nowadays.

I haven’t run into those - might not be federated with solarpunk. Definitely sound like good candidates for the chopping block though.

Those are communities, and yeah those were quick to be blocked for me as well. I’m talking about entire instances, which to my knowledge there aren’t any yiff ones - so far .ml is the only one that’s been so consistently bad that it’s actually worth throwing any trace of the baby out with the bath water.

Escalated from the manager to the boss.

Irreversible?

I have a hypothesis: a building that’s been burned to the ground will consume much less resources than when it was still standing and operational.

Blocking an entire instance seemed extreme at first, but with the level of crazy in .ml I finally just ripped off that bandaid and did it. It remains the only one.

The fediverse has been a much better experience ever since!

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but not the coroner.

Yeah but when the song ends at the same millisecond that the car comes to a full stop at your parking spot, is probably one of the most epic sensations you can get from driving.

If you live in the US and have ever wondered what you would have done in the shoes of an equivalent German citizen leading up to the 30s, wonder no longer: you’re doing it right now.

We should send him an 11-foot pole.

Unrelated PSA, be careful not to let your car’s tires near an ignition source or anything flammable that could stick to them, like glass bottles containing gasoline (side note, cloth rags make a terrible cap for those types of bottles - the liquid will wick right through them!). Once a tire starts burning, it’s nearly impossible to put out, and could spread to other tires or areas like the interior.

If your tire does start burning, don’t film it - the battery in your phone could be especially dangerous exposed to high heat. Best if your phone isn’t anywhere near it.

Stay safe folks!

I’d guess it’s a fan edit of a videogame cutscene or one of the SW animated shows, slapping Jar Jar’s face on some other character. I haven’t heard of Darth Jar Jar showing up in media in any other than the vague hints dropped in canon or in easter eggs.

I think the golden rule is about as perfect a rule as exists

I’ve heard a variant dubbed the ‘platinum’ rule as a slight improvement. Instead of “treat others as you would have them treat you”, it’s just “treat others as they would like to be treated”. It’s especially valuable as a cross-cultural check where like you might want others to maintain eye contact with you so you know you’ve got their full attention; while someone else might take that kind of maintained eye contact as a sign of aggression.

…or like that creepy mofo at seemingly every work space who just butts into peoples’ personal space because “well I’m a hugger” like, god damnit Dave, we know your a hugger, but you just pressed yourself up against Cathy’s tits without her consent. Again. And now she’s going to HR. And Dave will get a stern email and still somehow keep his job.

But yeah, platinum rule!

Got tired of getting penises up, so he switched to getting infection rates up instead.
