this take ain’t it homie 👎

The US needs to stop shirking their duty, and send the military in

Bro just casually suggested WWIII

The first language I tried to learn as a kid was Batch scripting…

(edit: and then some VBScript along the way! Eventually worked my way to C++ though)

Great findings - as someone with ADHD I feel like I’ve noticed this correlation on a personal level and glad to see there is research to back it up.

Superhero stuff is awesome if you’re younger than 17. At some point you’ve got to grow up though.

Wikipedia also releases all content for free download under a permissive license, so I don’t think it’s fair to say that the US government is a meaningful threat to its quality of information

What? How are these two points related at all?

Each instance would ideally have their own standards for neutrality or bias that they see fit. It’s no different from self-hosted wikis except with the federation concept appllied on top of it. I’m sure someone will create an instance that is a straight up clone of wikipedia, another person will create an instance for everything pro-communism / pro-china, someone will create a strictly anti-theism wikipedia, etc.

I don’t see anything wrong or weird about this, the skepticism this project is receiving is stupid. It’s nothing new under the sun.

No shit! So it’s not exactly a counter-point to the concept of a “Wikipedia alternative”

Any self-styled Wikipedia alternative ended up dead, thematic, or biased by design

Wikipedia is biased by design though…

Frankly, smart TVs are a stupid product for stupid people. I would never have one in my house, period.

Why is this reply have negative score lol… the answer is simple anyway: stop fucking buying smart TVs!

Space isn’t meant to be the next capitalist playground, which is what we are trying to do.

Regardless of what it’s “meant” to be it will be the final capitalist playground.

Fine, but…

You could have just admitted you were wrong and move on but you had to say something else to save face.

Nobody is saying that neurodivergent people can’t do small talk, it’s that it is oftentimes a dreadful experience for them. You do understand the difference, yes?

It’s a bit like telling someone genetically predisposed to disliking cilantro because it tastes like soap to “just eat cliantro… everyone can do it!”

Am perfectly fine cutting that behaviour out of my life and my social circle.

This sentence feels so performative and cringey, and yet it still must be said aloud because even my ex-friend to this day defends a similarly shitty guy with a well-documented pattern of abuse.

I see what you’re saying, I think that other commenters are misinterpreting what it is that you are trying to say. I certainly was.

Well said.

Some think it’s a radical approach, but I don’t see it that way. For all its capabilities, the Internet isn’t real and neither are the relationships we have with people on numerous sites that form its social aspect. Thus, there’s really little logic in giving people second chances, wasting time, attention and effort for them, trying to get through their attitudes and suffering to reach “real” them.

You’re absolutely correct.

I think that saying that someone “failed at life” is a bit stupid because, they would do exactly what you recommend in your own comment; they would give friends & family a second chance:

Regardless of who I cut out though, there is ALWAYS room to come back if they change and grow up.

I’m still hoping my mom will before she passes… : /

Maybe you see things differently, but perhaps there is something more interesting and constructive you could say than: “You both failed at life.”

Of course, arguing online is pretty fun… haha! :)
