“people standing next to musk who don’t punch him are traitors to humanity” is just obviously not a serious call to violence.

Your comments are much more offensive than anything you reacted to - you overreacted to the comment and then overreacted to the ban by posting this.

When I worked in a mall, there were no staff toilets. So I was subjected to a slightly less extreme version of that maybe 2-3 times a week.

I call that symphony “ringing the taco bells”.

Rebury the disarticulated ochre-painted bones of an important deceased community member!

“Edomite!”

I was getting onto a bus, someone looked me over and spat out the word. It was clear from the tone that it was an insult, but it also sounded suspiciously bronze age, so I was very excited to find out what it meant.

Turns out it’s a biblical reference used by some black nationalist groups in the US to refer to white people as unclean or diseased. Edom was one of several late bronze age Canaanite kingdoms. At one point the torah describes them as slightly paler and dirty, hence the insult.

I really love seeing a well curated list, and that’s a well curated list.

There are many contributing factors. Part of it is russian and american oligarchs spending heaps of cash to amplify any and every message that could help trump win.

Nations. As in centralized hierarchical states. Brutal killing machines all. It’s been what maybe 4-8k years of their bullshit and I for one am fucking sick of it.

Studies consistently show that devil vagina magic is the more effective solution.

When I was an undergraduate, a friend of mine wrote a book review of the bible for the student newspaper.

The opening sentence was: “Not since Naked Lunch has such a boring book been saved by the constant barrage of sadomasochistic homosexual pornography.”

The sookie stackhouse books that got turned into true blood have such a fun premise but are appallingly written. A friend and I used to play the audiobooks at parties for laughs.

That sounds like depression, executive dysfunction or some other brain dopamine issue. No amount of lists or “trying harder” (😂🙄) is going to help. Speak to a doctor about it.

My favorite genre is what I can screechy women singing weirdly. I can’t decide whether my favorite part is the screeching or the weirdness.

I’d most recommend that other people listen to gamelan orchestras though. It’s like the sound of dancing rain.

Yep, another great example. When you have as few rules and as tightly focused a scope as lasers and feelings, every single situation the rules can generate is going to be on theme.

every ttrpg has had rules that can be exploited and abused

That’s true for games in the tradition of D&D/F20/Trad, but not all ttrpgs. Fewer rules, a tighter scope and more elegant design make it much easier to rule out the kind of bad interactions or edge cases that lead to rules that run counter to the game’s purpose.

My Life with Master, Fiasco and Fall of Magic are all games i’ve played, where exploitation or abuse of rules is just not possible. Unbound is a tactical combat rpg without any room for abuse of rules.
John Harper’s rules-lite DW hack World of Dungeons is probably too elegant for abuse to be possible.

That’s the first few that I can think of, but i’m sure there are plenty more.

If they’ve already proven they can steal and lie, of course they’ll get VC money.

I’m not sure I understand your point so if I’m off base let me know.

Firstly, inheriting $200k - $1M doesn’t keep anyone poor. It doesn’t even stop wealth from concentrating at a level that harms others and warps society - it just prevents that level of wealth from passing down to people who did nothing.

Secondly, if everyone was poor who would be controlling them? You have to keep most people poor and a much smaller group of people unassailably wealthy to control them. That’s exactly the problem that high death taxes address.

Estate taxes is woefully small. There should be a 100% death tax on all assets after $1M, excluding a single home.

I’m a renter, so I’d throw a brick through each window of my property manager’s tesla.

Threaded messages seems fine to me, as you said that usage is more well understood than threadiverse which risks conceptually-centering a billionaire controlled platform.

The existence of threads makes threadiverse an inappropriate name for fediverse content aggregators, is the point I was being overly sarcastic about.
