  3. Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed

  4. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

    Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.

    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Not really related but one time I went to a movie showing and no one else was there. Two individuals came in at separate times and sat on both sides of me right next to me and I was so uncomfortable at this situation I left. In hindsight it was a horror movie and maybe they were too nervous to see it alone but it's often on my mind.

I had a friend in college who took a course where they were supposed to break nonverbal norms. They decided to break the norm that you’d don’t sit right next to people in a movie theater. They & their partner went to a nearly-empty theater for a film and sat on each side of the only people there. I now have headcanon that that was you.

Directing students to go out into society and experiment on nonconsenting strangers is so gross. It's very mild in the grand scheme of unethical shit that some scientists have done over the years (ex:Tuskegee Syphilis Study) but still, it is a lazy and thoughtless way to gather data.
