So the REAL issue is how much it costs to remove the info vs how much value the info has? Such as the average Joe's social security number vs a movie star's social security number vs the president's social security number.

This and the constant lying while doing it!

It's a self deprecating joke about having seasonal affective disorder.

Hasn't that always been the case? When did wiki stop just being a jumping off point when looking for accurate information?

Looks a little burnt around the edges. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thank you for the efforts you are making. This is a serious situation; more than just dealing with bad actors, you are viewing traumatic images.

Please, for your sanity and well being, prioritize your self care. Things like this linger in the psyche much longer than you would expect.

Blanket Seal!

Thank you so much for all of the effort and time all of you are putting into this situation. Having to deal with bad actors is one thing, but you are now dealing with images that are traumatizing to view.

Please, for your sanity and overall well being, PLEASE take care of yourself. Yes, it sucks about having to close !lemmyshitpost, but self-care and support are of the utmost importance.

Teach 'em young to get more votes. Republicans have been playing the long game for generations now.

That's a gif I'd like to see, but am too untalented to make.

I could be wrong. Maybe GASP you could be wrong. But isn't Lemmy a wonderful beacon of freedom in which we can express our (potentially) mutually wrong opinions? 🤔

Thank you. I don't have any eye irtitation/bug bite. The question just came to me when 'squitoes were being a nuisance.

Hahaha! Thank you.

The quote HappyBadger posted is from philosopher (among other things) Karl Marx; it has been abbreviated and taken out of context. The full quote says:

"We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror. But the royal terrorists, the terrorists by the grace of God and the law, are in practice brutal, disdainful, and mean, in theory cowardly, secretive, and deceitful, and in both respects disreputable."

Marx made the declaration when Prussia sent soldiers to shut down his newspaper; he was saying force will be used against the State's attempt to use force as a way to suppress people.

The article to which HappyBadger is responding is about PEOPLE suppressing people while the State is trying to show compassion; antithesis of the original purpose of the Marx statement.

By abbreviating/misrepresenting the quote, HappyBadger is saying that he wants no compassion, in turn will show no compassion, and that he's not apologetic for his behavior.

My response attempts to call out his post as a lie. Our everyday lives are filled with moments of exchanged compassion; all of which enrich the lives of the givers and receivers. It is an unspoken aspect of how individuals relate to one another within a social context.

If HappyBadger truly has no compassion, then he is likely a very unhappy person. And if all the unspoken, unsolicited compassion received throughout his daily life was truly taken away because he didn't ask for it (and supposedly doesn't want it), his life would be made all the more miserable because of the lack.

Oooh! I didn't realize there was an old. Please enlighten me.

Make all the Marxist declarations you want, but I bet dollars to donuts, if the compassion received in your daily existence was withheld (compassion you don't recognize due to your lack of compassion for others), you would be a much more miserable person than you're already showing yourself to be.

No other animal sleeps in such a self-satisfied manner.

As an American, I am super jealous!

Look at their little bow ties!
