Only a communist deals in absolutes! … wait… thats not it…

Yeah, but they need to be sneakier as they steal away through the grocery store doors. Those doors are a funnel for awkward moments.

What i hate is when someone gets offended i don’t initially recognise them when they’ve got half their face covered.

Take the fucken glasses off and say hi properly you awkward ass bastards! I got shit to do, and i don’t need to feel bad for the next half hour because you made me squint to recognise who the fuck you are!

Colour me shocked, public transport? A thing? Gadzooks! /j

There is a weird internet cult about him, true. But the things he said were important, adding greatly to the body of thought that makes the world we live in today.

Its pretty flippant to disregard his words on the control of resources, just because he never sat behind the wheel of the 20th Century cart.

Not really a fan of allowing corporations ‘control over the means of transportation’.

I bet Marx could come up with a great explanation of why its a bad idea.

But i’m not him so i’m just gona go with Dennis Denuto’s, “its the vibe”.

What Geoff Vader runs the Death Star?

Ha! The discoursive whiplash would be immense.

But i have the impression the people over at beehaw don’t wish to interact in such an open way as many other instances do.

So the decision to disengage should be treated as equally as important as those wishing to interact?

Responded to ferk, but i’s trying to consider your comment as well.

Okay, i think i’ve understood what you’re saying here. I’m not sure it works with the example for Beehaw.

I think i get what you’re saying. Especially if i consider a large instance like LW’s point of view. A large/general instance where large numbers of disparately opinioned users have gathered, freedom of association must necessarily be more individual to the user themselves than the instance as any kind of individualised entity.

Remembering the comments around the beehaw defederation, this was a case where a group of like minded people on their instance acted as a group to disassociate from the wider basket of instances. Their instance has an individual identity they wished to protect.

I feel like the discussion assumes an individual users wish for seemless interactions is more important than the wish of other users to have the choice of non-interaction. I think the assumption should be they are equally as important?

I prefer the recommendation algorithm led by my fellow up/down voters. Anything else, i know of, which is not much, runs too great a risk of undetectable pernicious influence.

I’m pretty sure that was Beehaw’s decision to disengage. But thats freedom of association for ya.

I’d say you’d still find plenty, theres a large crossover with your average Rogan listener. But hopefully the blinders have come off more of them.

insulting people involved in rescue

Thats when he lost me completely. Up until that point, i thought he was a savvy investor woth an incredibly perceptive idea of the future. But then his true colours came out in that episode, he also got my nationalism up. Those guys were fucken Aussies doing good work to save those kids!

Its been a long time though, i think they were, lol!

I won’t say i support the hate against Tesla owners per sé. But i’ll try to establish the reasons for wider community anger, and draw the line to the cars.

Musk has had a little army of Muskovites worshipping him as a genius-can-do-no-wrong type for years. Their blind esteem has critically helped propel him to his position, doing the damage he’s doing.

I’ve known one, so i’m speaking from experience when i say it was genuinely hard for them to accept Musk could even be incorrect. They’re very cultish, and should endure approbrium, or at least be ignored a little.

This is of course where the reaction to Musk gets dumb. Tesla owners are probably being targetted, i haven’t seen individual Tesla owners myself have that, but i’m a world away.

I think targetted unfairly, is due to the brand close association to Musk. Its lazy and almost as bad as the hero worshippers themselves, but its a physical symbol of his influence, and symbolism is powerful.

A Modern Family reference. Nevermind, its a bit dated now i guess.

Is this Phil Dunphy?

Organ attacks a good one.

Find the lesser posted contributors to your field/s of interest, read them, post them, share your thoughts.

This means you are actively using social media, actively considering different texts in subjects you already have an interest in, and actively using your brain to make considered contributions.

This is my go to. Take a look at my post history in aussie-enviro. I continually go out of my way to find environmental or conservation organisations themselves instead of waiting only for a news site like Guardian to do a write up themselves.

I’m finding my reading speed and attentiveness has improved, and i’ve better knowledge recall, especially on key details. Its of course fun as well.

Good answer.

Hahaha, so joyfully useless!
