With the aggravated issue of moderators being far less ""professional"" here than in Reddit. At least in some big reddit communities there was a big admin team that tried to keep things more or less professional (not that they would always achieved that but they tried). Here mod teams are very small and mods mostly just got their position by just being here first, so I have found out a lot of very biased moderation and mods just using mod tools and position of authority to defend their own particular opinions.

If you are debating something with a moderator alt account, or with a moderator friend you are in for some unfairness going your way. At least that have been my experience trying to debate even very small deviations from a Community main political stance.

Normal day.

Some things made me nervous because I need to make a big decision soon. But I also got this afternoon (CET here) free when I was expecting to have it occupied so that's nice.

Probably another big tech would fill the gap before. Sad, but that's the most likely outcome.

I would say (and I know that is a controversial opinion this one) that the fediverse itself is a little to blame here. Not because the technical difficulties to join in that are not that bad, but because most people in the fediverse want everyone here to have a very characteristic political ideology and to be very passionate about it. Like 90% (exaggerating here)of what I read here and in mastodon are politics (more so politics from a very specific pov), even after I made a big effort to get away from political communities.

Most people have not that particular ideology or are not that passionate about it, so they take a look of what's going on here and take the sane decision of not joining in.

I actually think that's the bigger impediment for the fediverse to become mainstream.

I haver a scar (more like a small disfformity) I regret because I sometimes feel that if I would have gone to the doctor in time (or at all) I would have not have it now. Also I got injured by doing just a stupid thing so it's sad have a constant reminder of that. But whatever, you end up learning to live with it.

I remember cheats playing cs 1.6

Cheaters have always been there.

I also remember that it was kind of fun sometimes?

I've never been a competitive person. So ranks mean nothing to me. So when a cheater was in the room it felt like a Boss in dark souls. Hard and unfair to beat, but when you did you felt the reward of hard work. I didn't care about dying 100 times, I lived for killing that player just one time.

My ps1 controler have not gotten stick drift in.. how long now? 30 years?

Is that a lost technology like in sci-fi books?

I was a waiter in and out for a year. It's tiring and you can end up exhausted.

But the needed skills were very simple.

Maybe it depends on the type of waiter? I served on the bar and only drinks, which was fairly easy. And of course I didn't own the place or anything. We also didn't serve any special cocktails or weird drinks. I didn't think that a special skill was needed to do what I did.

I think most of those jobs are actually considered skilled jobs. Are they not?

When I think unskilled job I think picking fruit on the fields, cashier, delivering packages (though you need the driving skill so I don't know) job that does actually not take much skill, and could probably be 100% learned how to do right in a week.

Nothing bad with an unskilled job anyway. If it needs to be done it needs to be done. Not because doing it takes no special skill means that it is less important.

I'm not American so I'm here asking questions to be educated.

Because I also, from the limited amount of information that I got about it, didn't think of school shooters as specially right wing. Or as any kind of right wing organization or movement to impose their politics through means of violence against civil population.

As European when I think of right wing terrorism I think of this fascists shooters we had that literally had fascist manifestos and were part of fascista groups.

But I've heard many times this idea of American school shooters being right wing terrorists, so I'm genuinely interested in truly understanding what gives them this consideration, as from my POV (again a very limited POV) I thought of them as a failure of mental health, social integration and a bad school system in general, all united with the incredibly accessible firearms. But not specially as part of a terrorist group.

No, we do not exist. Don't let anyone know we exist. 😶

I like to consider myself leftist. But it's true that I don't agree in all that most current left wing political parties stand for.

I think all human are born equal, and should have a good life. That politics should be used to improve everyone's life.

But in the what does this mean or how to do it I feel more and more differences lately.

To give an example, I cannot really stand identity politics. I think that the best course of action is to dissolve identitarian (is that word real?) groups instead of exacerbating their differences. I feel like people should be getting rid of labels instead of having more and more labels every day.

That's just a personal opinion, based on the idea that if you define different groups the chance of conflict between groups is bigger than if you define only one group. And I do get the idea behind identity politics within the left wing spectrum. I just don't agree that's the best course of action.

I do think that we could give information without propaganda if we really mean it.

Or at least there are levels of propaganda.

My personal take is that propaganda is not true, like actual lies.

I know that "the best propaganda is true" and just excluding other information. But purposely giving just a small part of the information is a lie regardless, to me at least.

But if we were to give all the possible information on any matter I don't think it could count as propaganda.

And, this is the funny part, this is my own propaganda, because one of my political beliefs is that we could make politics in a healthier way without using the "evil" tactics for a "good" outcome.

What I think about marriage is that is not that true or logical. As it is supposed to be a "forever" thing. But it's obviously not, and it's not logical that it is.

And making the whole ceremony about how two people are going to stay together forever feels weird knowing the statistics.

At least to me.

Anyone, you are not alone. Plenty of people feel no need to make that ceremony and just enjoy life with their SO for as long as it last, or even forever.

But no heat to those who want to marry. This is just my weird personal opinion.

The weaker part of a conflict is not always in the right just because it's weaker than the other part and got beaten up.

There's a male loneliness epidemic. And everyone who denies, mock it or victim blame on it is a terrible human being. IMHO people who suffer is not to make fun of. Empathy must be the basis for any moral system.

We can discuss the causes and solutions to it all day long. But sadly is such a politicized theme that agenda will come before any rational analysis. And that just saddens me. Because lots of people out there needs help, needs society to be better, and others just decide to bully them.

Linux Kernel. Blender. And the other 5 are still undiscovered.

Ublock is truly one of the 8 technological Wonders of the world.

These are public forums. Anyone can look what's going on here.

This is not a private space.

Finding nice places to just be. In the city, in nature, where ever but magical places.

The art is already there, but I just find it and let myself be surrounded by it for a while.
