Boy Scouts is LOUSY with pedophiles

Just don’t say that around Trump if you want support to be cut.

Beyond the rules/guidelines of the site and the community, someone commenting on a Reddit-like has no responsibility to filter what they write through the lens of what the author would want.

It’s the poster’s job to find a community that they find suitable for both what they’re writing and what they want the comments to look like. That’s how it works because Reddit-likes aren’t blogs; they’re shared spaces where everybody – within aforementioned rules/guidelines – is free to express exactly how they feel about anything.

You unduly shift responsibility onto the commenters for not acting the way the OP wants their vent sesh to go when it’s the poster’s responsibility to 1) know the comments exist and 2) understand that they’re putting this work out into a shared space.

People don’t seem to understand or care when a post is just to vent and the individual isn’t looking for feedback. Some people have a really hard time not chiming in with their take.

Reddit, Lemmy, and other Reddit-likes aren’t unidirectional blogging platforms. Primarily they’re link/image aggregators, but ever since the early introduction of comments, they’re also places for people to share their thoughts on the things people link to and write. If you want a place to vent with no expectation of honest feedback, you should be using either 1) a community (shoehorned) within the Reddit-like which is expressly moderated that way or 2) a blog or microblog.

Ironically echoing the OP: you are the problem if you make a text post on one of these platforms just to vent at people and get offended that people give feedback.

You cannot grasp the true form of Tamil 5’s attack.

Not just “pedophile”, but “child rapist who was close friends with the most notorious child sex trafficker in modern history and transparently had him murdered to cover it up”.

So vindicated.

Stop spamming LLM slop, OP.

Wow, this is so true. I’m going to stop maintaining my relationships because anyone I know could get hit by a bus tomorrow. I’m also done with that stupid coursework, because what if I suffer a catastrophic brain injury that makes me forget everything I learned? I’m going to go rob a bank because the police could come and frame me for murder any day now. And I think I’m going to go jump off a cliff because death comes for us all anyway.

Sage advice, raoul.

A big part of that attitude is simply that you’re more likely to take care of those big tasks you’ve been putting off when you’re on the upswing away from depression. So it feels good unto itself, but you’re probably also in a mood that’s more conducive to feeling rewarded than a deep depression.

TL;DR: Cause and effect feeding off of each other.

Get that first week of Macroecon 101 shit out of here before I go into outrage withdrawal.

No average user would be able to look up what commands to run? Because newsflash: unlike Windows, searching for a common problem on Linux normally turns up a solution written by a human who knows what they’re talking about.

“Windows doesn’t even have basic package management like every Unix-like OS does so you don’t have to individually update applications and go find them on the Internet, but this one edge case on Linux requires like two terminal commands (the sudo -i is totally superfluous if you just put sudo in front of commands) instead of installing an entire separate tool you’ll ever use one time like on Windows and which an average user wouldn’t even know exists. Therefore Linux is more complicated.”

Incidentally, here’s what Microsoft officially recommends for the “average user” regarding PowerToys:

It’s insane how nose-blind Windows users are to how user-unfriendly their OS is.

resist corporate bullshit by spitting in their face.

“Resist corporate bullshit by eschewing the free, non-corporate option – which, because it’s open, gets better the more people use it – in favor of continuing to use the exact same corporate product but with an abstruse, hacky workaround that 0.001% of the userbase will use and will probably be plugged by this time next week. That’ll show those corpo fucks who’s boss. ✊Ⓐ”

Original article.

The Flintstones, for what it’s worth, came out in a time before cartoons were seen as “for kids” by default. The Flintstones is basically The Honeymooners but animated and prehistoric, so while Winston would’ve unambiguously known it was marketing to some children, The Flintstones was an adult animated sitcom.

The Flintstones is retrospectively seen through the lens of “kids’ show” in large part because of things like kids’ merch (e.g. Flintstones vitamins and cereal), rerunning on stations like Cartoon Network, generally a more heavy “animation is for kids” defaultism, and the fact that later adult animated sitcoms like The Simpsons pushed the envelope much farther.

Peace for our time!

I guess they think they’re a Homestuck troll.

Are you really even celebrating Halloween if you don’t have a 1:1 animatronic of The One Reborn in your front yard?

Ignoring for a second all the controversy around the term “two-spirit”, even if we say that two-spirit is the extremely Western concept – detached from indigenous culture – of a male and female in the same body (or even just generically two genders in one body), that still doesn’t apply, because all of the entities are male. In set theory, if you keep adding the same element to the set over and over, the set doesn’t change.

Moreover, even if there were the kind of history you’re talking about, I’m not sure why dissociative identity disorder is being brought up here, because that categorically isn’t how God as multiple entities works within the fiction of the Bible. We see God and Jesus talking to each other back and forth multiple times, and that’s not how DID works. DID – a controversial diagnosis – isn’t a sitcom where two flatmates hang out inside your mind and banter. You’re dissociating so badly that you lose continuity, but God is clearly able to work as all three just fine at the same time.
