How you intepret those is absolutely a choice. If you do not have enough information to know 100% what the intention of the other person is, then wherever you land is a decision. If it's that the person is angry, that's your choic

I don't agree that putting a period in casual textual communication is inherently hostile. I also don't agree that those who do are just simply unaware of the chaos they are causing. At the end, though, you're still making a

I find this odd because, to me, attributing malice because of the presence of a period is something you do in your own mind. You don't know the emotional state of the person who sent it, so you think of the worst possible outcome, but

The law is part of my point. It's how we as a society limit free speech in places where it's damaging to other people.

by iamdbtoo 6y ago
Our libel and slander laws say otherwise.
156.
by iamdbtoo 6y ago
But because this forum has guidelines for those aspects of speech, and its members abide by it, it opens up space for disagreements to take place and truth to surface. Twitter has guidelines rules for things you can and can't say but s

Yes, this would be my next point. Twitter is absolutely a community, it's just buckling under the weight of its scale. The problem we're facing right now, to me, is that Twitter and Facebook have built communities that they are in

Twitter is a community and all communities require some level of moderation. There's never a situation where you let people say whatever they want, whenever they want without any moderation at all and everything goes well. You have to

How is it BS for a private company to say they don't want to take money from a group like Stormfront?

I would also argue that we've noralized the idea that if you achieve massive wealth that is the real success and you shouldn't be held responsible for the bad things you had to do to get there. Most people can't achieve that

As someone who has ADHD and is also a heavy marijuana user, I've found the marijuana mostly helps me with the frustration of the ADHD experience. It makes it difficult for the frustration to reach a boiling point and that's what a

This kind of thinking from JRE fans is exactly why the show is problematic to me. You just made inaccurate statements about the credibility of various media companies and figures while also using that as evidence Joe Rogan is better while a

Addicition is defined by its consequences. If you're engaging in a regular activity, that's one thing, but if you can't stop yousrself from doing it, even if it's harming you, that is addiction.

This thread is about Mark Zuckerberg specifically saying how they will police certain content. How is that hands off?

I once built a simple website for a Netflix show where you could enter some text and it'd be played in an animation, but you could also save/share a video of it. It was so much easier to build the animation in canvas for the site

This has been my experience as well, but I found it through talk therapy, medication and some philosophy. Almost all of my negative emotions on a day to day basis are generated by defenses I developed as a child to make being a kid with und

The description of your dream made me think of the movie Another Earth. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1549572/

Pretty much, yeah. While obviously not nearly as severe, I view this basically as war profiteering. Consumers are waged in battle against a broken industry and you're offering some help, but only for a cost.

The biggest issue here for me is that you're charging for this app. You're basically asking me to pay you for your hard work of removing ads from someone else's hard work of creating content.

This is not always the case. Some of these people cannot function in regular society and actually find living on the streets to be easier.

Same here. I used to love that I could browse a large selection of top quality choices in one place, from my home, rather than whatever the store happen to have in stock. Now it's mostly just the same item with different fake-seeming b

This is why I switched to vscode a few months ago. The Golang support in Sublime is nowhere near the same level as it is in vscode.

There's absolutely nothing that Elon Musk has done for the electric car market to excuse this kind of behavior. He could've changed the market just the same without acting this way.

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I get this a lot simply because people know I can code. A lot of idea guys now think they just need to tell their idea to the right dev who will build it for them and make them rich.

This is part of it for me. I self-host a lot of services in my home and the maintenance is kind of part of the reason I do it. It's like a digital garden I can tend to and learn from.
