  • TL;DR it's owned by the Saudis.

  • We're well into the You Can Just Do Things era, and the little folk should recognize that includes them.

  • ... then what was the problem with them defederating from Anarchist Nexus? Congratulations, they did the thing for you.

  • And yet, when you call for murder, the people you're calling to murder will have entirely unsurprising responses. When those people are in charge of websites, you don't get to be on those websites anymore. Regardless of your moral righteousness, you have to temper your calls to action, if you want to avoid that blindingly obvious result.

  • as an anti AI troll

    That's funny. I am the lone voice routinely pushing back in Fuck_AI@Lemmy.world, and I caught shit for posting an okay-but-interesting AI-rendered short film to Cyberpunk@lemmy.zip. So far as I know I've never interacted with this mod, and it looks like they saw 'threatening to murder moderators will get moderated' as cause for overzealous moderation.

  • Okay great, but when that means "I wish someone would murder the admins of other instances," those instances will respond in predictable ways, regardless of how good your reasons are.

    For the murder fantasies.

    It's not a matter of who.

    Niche mod has a snit over pointing out 'murder all [blank]' may have consequences

  • ... but it's not a criminal matter, so you're not entitled to a lawyer.

  • Partial credit goes a long way toward the general goal.

  • Contrast Deus Ex: Human Revolution, where you're railroaded into a conversation with the final bad guy, and the entire fucking time I'm just fixated on how I'm going to shoot him in the face the instant the dialog tree ends.

  • Religions claim to answer that need. But they're bullshit. It's all just made-up, and the made-up bullshit somehow means minorities don't get civil rights.

  • Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

    Ban the entire business model.

  • It's fine, even Tetris is a modified kriegsspiel.

  • The first Blade had an even worse accident. Wesley Snipes sets a vampire ablaze, and the dude takes a flying leap out a window. The stuntman broke his jaw in the fall. So they have to take this guy to the hospital, in agony and unable to speak... while he's in full-body makeup for third-degree burns. Totally fine, from the neck down, but looking like he needs intensive care for everything but his face. It's such a surreal predicament that I'm surprised it has not itself shown up in another movie.

  • Conservatives say unreasonable things because reasoning is not what they do. Rationality isn't a property, it's a behavior. These people can pattern-match and build hypotheses, but what they're doing with that ability is making shit up to perform ingroup loyalty. We keep asking each other what they really believe. But conservatives do not believe things - they believe people.

    Like obviously it's all just a word game to keep your guys at their rightful positions in the immutable strict hierarchy which decides what's real. Claims have no objective means for evaluation because that is not what claims are for. They can only be accepted or rejected based on interpersonal trust, and calling someone incorrect means challenging their position.

    Explaining why that's wrong becomes another card in their deck. They'll play it against you when it sounds relevant, and if you tell them that doesn't make sense, they'll get mad you're not playing fair. This worldview is not fragile. It is not challenged by contrary evidence, because evidence isn't real. To these people, there is only "who says." If the right person moves a Falling Rocks sign, the rocks will fall somewhere else.

    They're not p-zombies. They're not morons, either. They're adherents to a simpler, more ingrained, and more satisfying way of experiencing reality. They're not faking it, and they're not about to be ousted from it by highlighting contradictions they do not view as relevant. This is just another internally-consistent way to explain what they see in the world.

    Which is so much worse.

  • Some people are just shuffling cards. They can adopt the language of tribal force, or republican democracy, or leftist dialectics - or reasoned debate. Ultimately they treat reality as a team sport. Their stated ideals are ad-hoc pretense. All that has ever mattered is ingroup loyalty.

    And they think that's all you're doing. They think that's all there is.

  • It's the GOP's modern "I'm not touching you!" bullshit.

  • Every system is perfectly designed to produce its observed outcomes.

    Get the fuck off Twitter. The right time was ten years ago. The second-best time is now.

  • "China is good!'

    "I disagree."
