They are going to have a government shutdown for Christmas and the first week of the new year? You won't even be able to tell because everyone is on vacation then anyway.
I'd like to ask Trump what his definition of bimbo is and why he thinks it applies to her.
Because I kinda feel like his definition would be something like "anyone I want to fuck, if only they would shut the fuck up for the thirty seconds that would take."
I think the process of explaining what you want to an AI can often be helpful. Especially given the number of times I've explained things to junior developers and they've said they understood completely, but then when I see what they wrote they clearly didn't.
Explaining to an AI is a pretty good test of how well the stories and comments are written.
I have 85 people blocked. Most of them for spamming, probably. The rest for harshing my mellow by aggressively being assholes to others or just because I've realized my personal experience is more pleasant with their absence.
I don't owe my attention to anyone. I see lots of comments here about refusing to censor alternate points of view, but that's not it. I can enjoy healthy disagreement, but some folks make some agenda their entire identity and I just get tired of them constantly injecting it into every conversation.
On the other hand there've been many people I've disagreed with, engaged with, found some common ground, and continue to enjoy their presence even knowing we don't see eye to eye. Or, if they post about other things, I just ignore the rants I disagree with. It's not filtering out points of view, it's filtering out people whose presence makes Lemmy a source of stress rather than an interesting, vibrant community. That's obviously very subjective, but it's my block list and my peace of mind.
I block people for my own peace of mind. If they want to follow behind me and be public assholes, they are just showing everyone else who they are.
A bunch of my innocuous posts wind up with a single lonely downvote. It makes me laugh because someone out there is really fucking butthurt over something I don't even remember any more.
Not saying I approve, but this is probably the least awful thing I've heard about him. I couldn't be less surprised his name would slow up there.
What does shock me is how the GOP manages to field such a deep bench of absolutely terrible people. Every single one of them is more vile than the last.
All things in moderation. The world is a spinning plate and extremes are to be avoided. Instead, the correct course is an ephemeral point somewhere around the middle which we must continually chase as it moves in response to the world. We all do our best to balance the world a little closer to what we want it to be.
Assuming I am even making sense of what you're asking, because this is pretty unclear.
We need a switcheroo community so there is something to dive into.
