Aren't you the doctor here? I think you should stay very far away from the behavioral health and neurology departments.

I think they are just PR stunts to appeal to the masses. I don't buy for a second that they are serious.

Nothing. u/spez is the reddit username of the Reddit CEO. A lot of people here are upset with recent decisions that he made that affect a sizable portion of active Reddit users.

Someone asked what to do to avoid pooping for 3 days. Apparently some folks turned into a challenge. Proving something to themselves or random people is more important than good health to your patients.

It looks like it's just a shell script, so it should work. You may have to tinker with your PATH or install packages for any CLI tools it uses. For anything of serious importance, I would stick to maintaining separate test hosts.

Lots of localities have laws about noise. In this case it is irrelevant because it would probably fall under harassment laws in most places.

Face punch for such a ridiculous commute on purpose!

[–] neanderthal 2 points 2 years ago

Great! I appreciate you taking the time to discuss it with me!

[–] neanderthal 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

you are welcome to participate no matter who you are, unless you engage in hate speech against others.

Great. So the whole being a member of a group part can be removed then because hate speech is already covered.

It sounds nitpicky, but it is very personal for me. I've seen good group/bad group mentality cause some rather monstrous behavior first hand. I realize there is a lot of nuance, but I really dislike any language like that.

discriminate against

Except you are by having a rule that you can't be a member of groups that the mod team thinks does.

The wording any group against any other group is so vague it literally applies to anyone. I am a US military veteran. They used to discriminate against women and homosexuals. When I was in, we were actively hunting the Taliban to capture or kill them. So should I be banned? Should Ukrainian soldiers be banned? They kill Russian soldiers. Pretty discriminating. By the way the rule is worded, I need banned, any Ukrainian soldiers here need banned. Everyone needs banned because everyone, by virtue of being a citizen of wherever is member of a group that has discriminated. I can't vote in Australian elections, so they are discriminating against non Australian citizens.

Thought experiment. What if say, a kkk member is questioning their beliefs and genuinely curious about alternate viewpoints. Banning them just reinforces the idea that these "woke" people hate everyone that doesn't agree with them.

Wow, thanks!

Rule 7, we’d still like to keep extra measures to protect our members, as “swaying away” often happens too late.

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

"Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a group that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of any other group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you you will be banned on sight."

You would to ban the entire mod staff now, because you are a members of a group, No Stupid Questions moderators, that is advocating discriminating against another group of people, those that do the things in the aforementioned paragraph. Because you use ANY group of people, it applies. You are setting the mod team up in a situation to decide in groups and out groups.

Am I making sense?
