Shit’s nuts

To shiten

I agree that it’s a difficult balancing act. Overall though, the role of a moderator is to facilitate conversation in accordance to the rules, not enforce their own narrative on the community. These steps are not perfect, but they are an attempt to try and get moderators to moderate more and dictate less.

I tend to agree, if there was a way to actually federate with Threads, I’d be curious to give it a go.

Motherfucker

I second this motion

I don’t think you did anything wrong, it’s just business and you only looked after your best interests. Your boss sounds like a great person, but the school is your actual employer. It’s nothing personal.

This is refreshing to see, good on you for daring to do this. There is no reason to fear respectful debate in the absence of an agenda.

Can this power identify specific objects, for example Sarah’s heirloom spoon as opposed to any other generic spoon?

Well, shit!

P

That’s my stapler

Shut the fuck up or I’ll bite your nuts off!

I’m glad you’re enjoying it here, it’s great to have you with us!

At the start, HC had a handful of people join from the old exploding-heads.com instance, and that was enough for many people to label us “EH 2.0” and de-federate.

Ironically, the most excitable members in question have long left when they realized this was not “EH 2.0”. I’m also not American and had nothing to do with exploding-heads.

The idea behind HC was to have a laid back instance where we could post whatever and not worry about heavy handed ideological moderation. @Alice@hilariouschaos.com and I really don’t care what your politics are, and that’s the whole point.

That’s all there is to it, what you see is what you get. Anyone can just browse through our posts and make their own mind up. We also welcome everyone, irrespective of politics.

We have been around for almost a year now and I think we have been good neighbors. lemmy.world is still federated with us because there’s no reason why they wouldn’t be and they are thankfully mature and rational enough to take things at face value. I’d like for us to be federated with everyone else too, but I don’t think their minds can be changed.

Anyway, I see you have already deleted your account, but if you keep reading this thread then maybe this post helps clear things up for you. You are of course welcome to rejoin anytime if you want to.

This is definitely a core memory

“Please help me make their birthday memorable”

That’s exactly what comes to my mind whenever I hear people talk about how things are a conspiracy.

It depends how you look at it, predisposition can be seen to run counter to randomness, since you can then work out the likelihood of something happening a certain way. It turns out the odds to almost everything we do can be worked out based on factors, just look at the insurance industry.

If humans are pretty good at predicting what other humans will do, then surely God is on another level.

Still though, an individual can defy their predisposition in every way. To say that randomness doesn’t exist would mean to accept that beyond predisposition, everything we do is prescribed. I don’t think this is the case.

For an analogy, let’s say you had an aquarium. It’s interesting to watch the fish do fish things, you care about them and want to make sure they have the right conditions to thrive. You can be fairly certain of what the fish will do, but you can’t control it - and even if you could, there would be no fun in that.
