That's exactly a security concern from a design point of view. Your desire to trivialize it doesn't change its nature, access control is access control. That's not what DNS is for and making it do that is going to cause everyone regret.

DNS for security? What could possibly go wrong...

What can you do.

do I just leave Lemmy too?

Yes. If you left Reddit because of the social climate, you haven't accomplished anything.

I'm going to claim brain fart. I'm horrified to find I had thought that it was about, like, modern Israel. Dumb.

OTOH, it sounds like you are suggesting taking interpretations like that; reading things into the text and adopting the symbols for our own purposes. Blindness wasn't a metaphor for depression. You have to insert that as a modern reader. The text doesn't fully support it and you have to creatively interpret at times. I don't think that's very satisfying.

Genuinely, that's not how literary criticism works.

Yes, yes. Very clever. Not contributing but don't you look smart.

I mostly don't like popular movies and it has never and probably will never strike me as my fault.

No, but it means you're probably not really a friend anymore. If you're good with that, everything's jake.

The point is that they are fucking miracles. It doesn't matter whether they are "impressive" or "lame" when they prove that the natural laws of the Universe do not apply. Whatever the effect of the miracle is less significant than the simple fact of it and what that implies.

What's it about when he curses that fig tree cuz I heard some stuff about the non-literal symbolism.

The dumbest thing I think I ever heard of was prosecuting people for possession of cannabis.

regardless, that would not do anything for other people experiencing the general case

Most of my printing needs don't even require "near letter quality". I can deal with a modern equivalent to a 9-pin printer and just send out final versions for professional printing.

Jumping spiders are so cute, they make you want to hug a spider.

There are ten cute animals in captivity at factory farms for your personal use. Every time one is slaughtered, it is replaced.

You cannot obtain consent by deceit. That's rape.

Last Democrat president did nothing to protect you from future abuses of presidential power.

I just wish Emacs had started from the outset with more common keybindings- it makes it hard to recommend because you need to make a significant investment. I think it’s worthwhile, but still…

Surely you mean, "I wish Microsoft had adopted the standard Emacs keybindings."

Don't you know how that happened? You are talking about the state of Iran. The Iranian people are not religious extremists or fascists. They are very progressive. They used to have a progressive, secular government. Surely you know this.

It is much better for the working class to weild its authority than the Capitalist class.

Unfortunately, I don't believe that. Humans don't come in two flavours.

I think unfettered capitalism and the systems of power that you propose are both hostile, inhuman systems. I think that meaningful voluntary social systems have to be able exist within that context, and cannot replace it. I don't believe that eight billion humans can form a single community; our capacity to be social breaks down, and we collectively become something else that we don't really have a lot of power or comprehension over. I suspect that attempting to work on that superhuman scale can only bring greater conflict and chaos. I think that the enlightened human has to disengage from it, stop identifying with it, and instead find human-scale social constructs that we are capable of existing socially within, that are voluntary and free of coercion, and that seeks to address the social deficiencies of the ambient environment, whether that's an empty wasteland, or a metropolis.
