Learning, exploring concepts and ideas.

Nice.

And the circle… Completes…

Or is it a spiral? I forget.

Man you guys just can’t catch a break…

It has affected how I speak and interact with people. It’s a bit like, it’s being so ridiculously safe and diplomatic all the time that it kind of rubbed off on me. I use it a lot for casual conversation and exploring concepts and ideas and kind of like a springboard to test my perhaps more controversial talking points.

I have to say, in some small way it has been an inprovement. I still say the same thing, but the framing has changed, I try to make my point clearly and stay assertive in face of pushback without getting personal, either by accident or relying on older more entrenched thought patterns that aren’t always conducive to constructive communication.

I’m sure my experience isn’t typical, but for what it’s worth, that’s mine.

YOU CAN’T QUIT! YOU’RE BANNED!!!

Reading this post is cathartic hahaha.

To be fair if you mention trans at all you’re probably getting banned and get your name on a list.

17 years, maybe 50 accounts, 1 major sub, tons of minor ones, sone of which I miss, fukn every time. You get psychotically drunk ONE TIME… And what do you get? Like we helped make that place for better or for worse.

lol

Fuckem.

Yeah I miss asking super niche questions on certain subs, because there’s usually enough users to have a prompt reply.

But fediverse is growing, slowly. Sadly best way to keep growing it is to stay and promote it on Reddit, everyone who’s fed up for the same reasons we are are ripe for the plucking.

Comes with a bunch of idiots, of course, myself included so YMMV.

And their bans really stick. If you piss them off enough, they connect every account you’ve ever had, somehow, and the ones they miss, if you log in it’s a matter of days before they catch on.

It’s kind of impressive, actually.

Basically my life motto.

Nice. Now you can’t reach the Internet.

Well I still don’t dang like it I’ll tell you hwat.

Everyone has a self destruct button these days it feels like.

Which one of them?

Thanksgiving was four months ago. Uncle Paul lives with you now.

Nobody:

Me: the rise of prudence and moral scandalizing in both extremes of the spectrum- the Christian right and the feminist left, are reminiscent of Victorian society. They’re in a permanent state of shock and appallment and full of moral condemnation at the mention of sex or the purely sexual expression of the human condition, as if it’s something that needs to be policed and follow hard norms decided by some nebulous gaggle of moral makers that get ever more extreme in their judgments, claiming an absolute moral authority to determine the framework within which others must behave and think when it comes to sexual identity.

Single reason it’s my main browser still are addon functionality.

It’s malicious, not dumb. The dumb is a side effect.
