Oh. Yeah, definitely. That would be way worse.

On the cabinet? He bought himself a shadow presidency.

If you look at the vein(?) on the north side of the loop, there's a part that goes straight north and then east, with a break in the north leg. Makes it a lot more clear that it was zoomed in.

Anyone else bothered by the sudden change in scale in the last image? It's way zoomed in compared to the first 3.

You were? Oh damn poes law got me. Oops.

And I was ignoring your point since it's not as if the government is going to draw the line for surveillance at Mastodon.

Do a bunch of men who post nudes on the internet in a very public forum for free have an exhibition fetish? The world may never know...

[–] maniclucky 3 points 6 days ago (6 children)

Kinda depends on what you're filling your feed with. Mine is filled with naked gay men, and I'm pretty pleased with that.

Same. Though I'm mute under my mask so it's a mixed bag.

Agreed. One reason I loved Majora's Mask was that the game was dense. Every square inch of the game was used for something and in a lot of different ways. I also appreciated a checklist for my collectables so I could pinpoint what I was missing, but that's rather off topic. I lean way away from open world games now both for excessive time commitment and most of it is just empty space.

Most of the time when I get into an argument with someone on Lemmy (formerly Reddit) it was for the people who may read it more than the other person. The best outcome in those cases is civil disengagement, not changing their mind. But the goal is to reveal some faulty logic and dismiss some disinformation for random strangers.

Of course. If someone is using it blindly, I have no sympathy for them. Everyone who knows anything about data science (almost done with my masters now) screams to not trust it implicitly for a reason.

orphiebaby is awesome (self.freecompliments)
 

Not a sockpuppet.

I was venting over at [email protected] about Reddit mods being... Reddit mods. On top of having a good version of offmychest that allows people to be angry at the things that are bugging them, orphiebaby went ahead and made a new community to replace the one I was venting about on behalf of my partner.

Cheers to you orphiebaby! This isn't quite the spirit of the sub as I understand it, but you get praise anyway.

 

So I stopped generally using Reddit after the whole API thing but my husband still does and we talk about stuff since Lemmy gets the job done.

One thing he likes is to hop on r/freecompliments and participate there.

Well, today he got permanently banned. Why? Because a bot dredged his profile and found that he sometimes participates in porn subreddits. Usually to complement people there, never posting himself. He's pretty ace, so it's rarely, if ever, sexual. But that was enough for the bot to ban him.

They sent a message about how they are sfw subreddit and don't allow users to participate in NSFW subreddits.

He's heartbroken about it. He really likes to be nice to people and it makes his day when they respond to him. Now he can't do that in a sub that's meant for it.

I feel like the site rules have opinions about banning like this, but it's not like the admins give a fuck. So fuck those mods and their puritanical bullshit making at least once persons day worse, for the low cost of a user that was participating in good faith.

And since I'm on a roll, fuck spez

I tried posting this to trueoffmychest to dredge some sympathy for him, since that seemed appropriate and he was good with it, but they don't allow 'anger' or 'impersonal' posts and that got quietly removed immediately. So fuck them too. I didn't realize how far down the shitter reddit has gone.
