Regardless of the outcome, this was going to be the case in one form or another. One outcome makes it more of a pain in the ass, but the work of improving society is never accomplished with elections alone.
It's the unappealing truth that a complex array of efforts accomplish improvements to society, and safeguard it against its degradation. There is as ever more to be done.
I disagree. Stoicism at its worst may lead to resignation. Absurdism encourages defying the meaninglessness of existence in large part by recognizing meaning is made.
In the face of a cold, uncaring existence, absurdism or existentialism are two great philosophies to employ to reimagine how we want to be in the world and how we want the world to be compared to stoicism, which would reach its limits with and within reason. Absurdism recognizes reason's limits and realizes one needs more than reason alone to persist.
Alongside others mentioned (tags/flairs, multi-communities, keyword filtering, etc.) another feature I'd like to see added/improved is notification settings.
Something like...
In account settings:
For others' posts/comments and per posts/comments:
With those settings you could more easily tune out all notifications or only opt into those you'd like to see, and opt out of those you're done with (say your post/comment got popular and you've had your fill from the replies).
Unrelated to notification settings, it would also be nice to be able to block communities from the front page via the ... More menu in the default web UI.
Now for any occasion:
Excuse some rough edges, didn't feel like taking that much time on it
"Behold, I'm a unicorn!"
Ah, the vim part was me trying a little too much to express a short e sound lazily.
It will still raise eyebrows because that’s not how it’s said.
At least not yet, or by enough to recognize that it is (by some, somewhere!). There's bound to be an accent somewhere that pronounces it like this to where the "normal" way sounds strange 😂
Without writing it out like this: (nō-vĕm′bər) or this (nəʊˈvɛmbə) I wasn't sure how to write it and express the varying sounds of the e's in it. Maybe "no-vim-ber" would have been better?
What you’re looking for is difficult to find in the framing of Science Fiction because its very framing invokes technological advancement - technology is the application of science, and machinery is the result of technological innovation.
Machinery's certainly a result of technological innovation, but not the only result. Different materials, even altogether different forms of organisms are also results of technological innovation. OP's left it rather open, so it may be that they also mean these different applications of science.
fwiw this is poking more fun at the other person that said this in reply to you, which is why I spelled it your(s and another person's) way
Hey speaking of, while [email protected] is a great example, if you're not finding similar communities for your interest, feel free to post over in [email protected] for what Zombiepirate's describing.
Hobby without a community around here? Just not really sure if an existing community is open to non-news posts? General's got ya covered.
approximate scaling trial cell, do not be alarmed, the digital goo is benign, the photonic slush will lavish the mind with delightful disorientation
may you have a strange day
All too prescient. Commenting so this may bring it to more people's attention depending on sorting methods.
