Ya know, some people actually only get on social media for curated news, to have actual conversations with other humans, or to share or seek advice about specific topics.
I spend most my time in tech, old home remodel, and local/hometown forums.
"The name “Zoox” is a reference to Zooxanthellae, a marine organism that, like the Zoox robotaxi, depends on renewable energy and is able to maintain a symbiotic relationship with organisms in its surrounding habitat.“
Actually kinda cool, but appropriately dumbed down to be usable in modern coversation, “hold on a sec, my Zoox just pulled up.”
Yeah, it’s defined as one by the authorities on the subject regardless of the biological characteristics, as it’s defined according to the needs of psychologists to identify and treat dysfunction. Psychologists, especially those that treat patients, are generally not neurologists, or pharmacist, or… So they don’t really care about those details while defining the ‘condition’.
She should just donate all the profits going forward, and focus on making sure anything on the platform is legit consensual sex work and not people being forced into it. Not that I think that happens a lot, but she sounds like she’d be up for improving the system to better know for sure, and provide better support and resources for sex workers in general.
Well, it certainly looks like it rained. Where are the missiles? Is that LA?
SOs HP laptop borked Win11pro OS, wouldn’t load or recover. Tried reinstalling clean but Win11 installer can’t see SSD. Driver loading during install results in install crashing error.
Linux, here we come.
Whatever man.
I change up my writing style pretty much constantly.
And I switch between muliple accounts on several services, each representing a different fictional character.
And I use a VPN.
I prefer standardized OS wide appearances that are respected by all apps. The only skinning I want are Dark Modes or Mini Player modes (for media players).
Can not both be true?
I only pee in other people’s showers.
Shouldn’t ‘tell them off’ at all either.
Teach to the problem. Or moderate it.
Allow the person to continue coexisting.
If you want to invite them to reexamine their behavior… Actually do that, not the other more aggressive, offensive, and immature thing… Then play it off as something more.
‘fuck you!’
‘fuck me?’
‘no, no, that’s not what I meant!’
Just say what you actually meant!
It’s funny watching this argument.
I’m from a very hippy community.
I’m a collectivist.
I’m extremely far left & progressive.
I’m wholly anti-fascist.
I’m also 100% in agreement with you regarding including differing opinions regardless of how extreme.
Inclusivity only brodens the divide and limits opportunities for people who harbor extremist views to be influenced toward developing more balanced, functional, and beneficial perspectives.
Moderation can be used to soften their influences in our commuty while including them allows our community to influence them.
‘You people’ is typically defined by the attached action. ‘You people’ are the people who actually do that thing, whatever it is.
If you don’t do it, ‘you people’ is not you.
If you do do it, ‘you people’ is you.
The point is not about ‘who’, it’s an oppositional statement about the ‘what’, the action, and implies it’s bad, or more importantly that the speaker doesn’t approve.
Like: ‘You people, always with the child raping.’
If you don’t rape children, ‘you people’ isn’t you.
But also, the speaker is implying that child raping is bad, or something they don’t approve of, and something they don’t do.
Then you rule them out on those basis, not their general ‘right wing’ classification.
Include everyone, but exclude specific content.
The ‘go away’ or ‘go back’ BS is exclusive, not inclusive, and should be moderated similarly to bigotry.
Seems aight, I’m fine with FF ATM though.
I do keep alternates around for rare issues, so when helium is out of beta if it ever is, I may install it.
Technically you’re posting to social media right here, but I think we all got what you meant.
To clarify:
This is a federated service that spans across all nations with Internet access, and the forum you posted this to is just Books.
If you want a localized book forum then create a new forum that’s labeled as such.
I think that would be a weird choice, but you do you.
And if you just want to talk about books with anyone who has access to this forum, go ahead and post a book and start a conversation.
