That's cheeky.

Due to events in my life, I had to go through anger management courses and therapy. When they were finished I continued Stoicism-inspired meditation. Anger almost disappeared completely from my life.

One thing I noticed only later is how I had almost abandoned all social media platforms in the meantime.

That and at some point people that I got to know primarily through social media interaction voiced the fact that my reputation in their eyes grew, although never having been necessarily angry with them.

But that doesn't take away the fact that someone's demons could be of this kind. It's a built-in risk in every human.

As a marketing data analyst, I can confirm.

It may well just be me not fitting the community, and of course I am ignorant of the costs associated with such operations, but as a user, especially on a mobile client, the extra clicks and copy-pasting I just tested are absolutely way too many.

Could a client solve this problem by automating some or all of these steps? I don't mean to build the full database of all instances, but instead to query for those specific followers of that specific account and allowing the possibility to follow, upon request.

Yes, exactly. Coming from a regional instance, the number is usually 0 for me, but it is actually always total - the ones from other instances.

I find this behavior an incredibly high attrition to both personal adoption and interaction growth and the reasons for it still remain unexplained really, since the servers speak about post contents and are not defederated specifically for account connections by default, I guess.

Is there any way to find information about the company or "director" of the trailer? It is really an amazing work of video and audio editing.

And the Russian economy at this point.

I will say what being born and raised in Rome taught me: all religious people are dangerous and all priests, for which I have a very wide definition that includes namaste-firing yoga teachers and Elon Musk, are the worst individuals humanity could produce.

Religious people, including the ones that call themselves "atheists but spiritual", may not be dangerous to you now, but they are then to be regarded as sleeping terrorist cells.

Very good media works depicting the concept are the movie The Mist and the series Midnight Mass.

Priests, in my personal definition, is any person appealing to irrational concepts to predate on people's ignorance.

I can tell you that I was forbidden from doing that while playing during a vacation in Colorado, mere months before Columbine. This bullshit is ridiculous.

I would like to know what Modi said exactly to elicit such response. I know the guy is not of my liking already, but lately I am interested in knowing whether he is just playing as a relay for Putin or rather distancing himself from him.

It is not the point of this discussion in particular because I am talking about positions held on the basis of reasoning. The wet dreams of an American conservative are not exactly a bright example of logic.
