Priorities have very little to do with ignorance. Let’s try a different example that has a little more nuance than the church one and happens too often in the real world: touching somebody’s wheelchair without the their consent to “help” them. The person transgressing views themselves as considering the priorities of the person in the wheelchair. This is a problem of ignorance, not priorities. The person in the wheelchair should not have to deal with this let alone try to convince, educate, or care about how the other person feels or what they intended. That is the onus you expect of people that don’t share your opinions, to coddle/educate/etc you because you view your intentions as Right or Good or whatever. They don’t want the interaction and you think you have the right to force them into it. It’s the epitome of egotism. Anybody that disagrees gets labeled as as being in an echo chamber.

Your response to the comment about people is nitpicking. Changing individuals doesn’t provide a good ROI. Expecting them to do so on their own is wishful thinking. It isn’t a difficult solution; it is an impossible one.

Overall, you’re contrary and like arguing more than looking for better ideas. I think I get why you’re having difficulties with mods. I’m done, too. You have no intent to listen or learn. If that’s incorrect, prove it to the next person, not me.

Thank you!

What’s the reference? I tried thinking of songs that would fit but all I came up with was Toto’s Rosanna.

I don’t think you understood what I meant by education. No amount of priority shuffling (whatever that means) is going to teach a person why what they’ve done is a transgression. You didn’t really answer that in any meaningful way.

I find it interesting that you think some places need debate while acknowledging people react badly to it, especially if done poorly.

If a solution just requires everybody to change, it’s not a solution.

I think that communities don’t have to be for debate. Trying to force that seems fairly hostile to me.

Figuring out which slights are intentional or not is exhausting, unrewarding work and it’s absolutely easier to assume all of them are hostile. I’m ok with that. There is little value to a user you have to scrutinize and maybe, just maybe, they’re only ignorant and in need of education that you’re going to have to provide and maybe, just maybe, they’ll accept the lesson. Compared to a user that is clearly on board with a given community and how it’s run, it becomes a pretty easy choice.

I’ve been banned from a bunch of keto communities for downvotes. I’m definitely not there intended audience and was only seeing things via my everything view. They banned me, I blocked those communities. That’s fine. The only thing that even slightly bothers me is that it might skew their place on such an everything view and seems vote manipulation adjacent.

No, they were not directly involved and no, pimping minors was not proven in court. Money laundering and conspiracy to facilitate prostitution were the charges that stuck. In fact, prosecutors claiming they were involved in child sex trafficking caused a mistrial https://apnews.com/article/business-trials-3b1c9d3e59e90cd60764b3eb989fec80

The point is not about what they did or didn’t do, it’s that if you try to go outside the system you get hammered.

That’s what Backpage tried to do when the cc processors pulled out. The owners of Backpage were at some point charged with money laundering among many many other crimes. The years of legal battles that started in 2018 drove one of them to suicide. Would not recommend.

Found a game I own has text and audio in my target language, so it’s been a bit more fun this week. The vocab might not be so useful, but I’m getting use out of the words and their pronunciation being together.

Just make it well enough that you don’t mind if it stays up for a bit.

Idiotectomies required the subject’s corporation for the best results. Hanneman’s (Journal of Medical Ethics, June 2017) breakthrough, illustrated here, uses bomb glasses to increase compliance. It is rare the fuse needs to be lit, but a lighter should be kept in plain view of the subject as both reminder and enforcement if necessary.

For less insightful stuff, may I recommend Boatmurdered, the chronicle of a succession game (one person plays a year and then passes the same file to someone else) of Dwarf Fortress:

Yes, this works especially well for baguettes. More surface area for the brie or whatever you’re putting on it.

Falcom spoiled me forever by offering a startup option to continue from last save that skips all the logos, intros, etc.

I see Bender drinking a beer.

Ah, the top floor might have been what I was thinking of. It’s been a while.

It’s still around? Most of the second floor was unfit for use 20 years ago, wasn’t it?

It’s wild that the benefits of this outweigh the cost of making it enough to stick around.

Yes, more

and less

So neither one of your two methods of proof that a whole class of people is awful are good (also you didn’t cite any statistics), so I’m a teen troll?

Have the day you deserve.
