  • None, I'm an open book.

  • yes, it's disgusting

  • "Do you have any sugar?"

    I offered you sugar and cream when you ordered the coffee, and you just said "cream". This is on you.

  • I don't even know anymore.

  • There's a joke in Weird Al's movie UHF where someone notices a door marked "Supplies" and when they open it a bunch of ninjas jump out while yelling "Supplies!!!"

    So, yeah, anyway: That's how I say it, Sup-Rise, like "supplies" but with an R.

  • Just raised wrong, I guess.

  • I'm from a part of the world where those middle Ts end up pronounced like Ds.

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.ca

    Why don't we voice the first R in "surprise"?

  • I don't use the block feature, but I think the friction of manually having to apply it each time helps to reserve it for special cases, like harassment.

  • It's like getting nailed but harder to undo.

  • As a former RIF user, I haven't found anything better than Jerboa. Which is shame because it will never support piefed.

  • everything is the right size, strips away unneeded visual elements, optimized for touchscreen controls

  • I disagree that this is a better experience for the user. I think it's perverse and unhealthy and will only serve to isolate the user and reinforce them into error in situations where they are incorrect or antisocial.

  • I think you've missed how blocks work on the fedi. They don't silence the blockee, just hide them from the blockeur.

  • What then, is the response to content that deserves hostility? Misinformation, propaganda, incivility, posting videos without a text synopsis?

  • You may want to edit your post body to include information you clarify later in comments, namely:

    You don't want to block users permanently, which is why the current block feature is unsuitable.

    You don't want to block users universally, that is, if someone downvotes you in one thread you still want to see their content in others.

    You only want to stop seeing comment replies in a single thread (or subthread?) from users who have previously downvoted you in that thread.

    Do I have that right? That wouldn't be so bad, I think, though beats me how you'd implement it.

    I too get irritated when users misuse the vote buttons, but to my mind the ranked-thread system doesn't work without them. And in the end, they're just numbers: No amount of votes has every made me delete an unpopular comment, either of my own or as a moderator.

  • eli 40

  • Is there a reason to treat them differently then any other pedophile?

  • In one line I got:

    • She's comparable to current rockstar mayor

    • She fixed bus service

    • She hersekf uses bus service

    • She noticed a problem and fixed it

  • Okay, so Baudrillard's thing was the idea he called "hyperreality": images, symbols, branding, and other representations that penetrate deep enough into our consciousness that they become more real to us than the physical world. In the above quote, I think he's describing the effects of removing or destroying these hyperreal symbols; we're left not with physical reality but with nothing, which is damaging psychologically.

    BUT I haven't read Baudrillard in detail so take my analysis with a grain of salt. I'm viewing this though the lens of Platonic forms and the whole cave allegory and all that because it was the closest philosophical concept that's both familiar to me and seemed to map.
