I considered more in the vein of reporting the specific posts in question on their respective instances. Or using mod tools where available to ban problematic users from your own instances and communities.
But if you think it works, any solution you find should be sought. Even if it doesn't lead to the expected results, fighting for a fairer environment is rarely a wrong thing to do.
Let them ban anyone they don't like from their instance. Also, report or ban them when they abuse others on other instances.
If it is a self-inflicted isolation, it will be fairly earned.
Self-defense is a universal right. Those who attempt to take away that right unavoidably become representatives of fascism. You never silence a voice that argues self-defense, you defeat its arguments (objectively and thoroughly).
Moving forward tentatively, it's not about disengaging from a conflict. One needs to take a step back, use a method to clear their mind and view the situation without emotional attachment. Then attempt to solve the conflict into a acceptable or at least tolerable outcome. A conflict left unresolved will only fester into aggression and violence.
Simply moving on and allowing a perceived slight go unresolved does not work unless the objective solution found is to move on.
While the loss of a user is sad, people come and go. The better solution is to use the situation and apply the proper reports against those who target and abuse other users.
Not sure about the lessons cost, but I think they were bundled and the shelter hogged most of the price.
Also, Republicans make the best zombies so it would be like a dream come true for any purchaser.
They got the in game moves from experienced practitioners with which an agreement would have been made. So it's not the Vidya games company that would have provided the parkour services, just one of their partners.
As for the custom zombie shelters, they were/are a thing that could be bought and/or built at some point.
Perhaps the political posturing and theatrics are what's needed to disappear from politics. But then again, it's their bread and butter.
I sort of hold hope that this meeting will be enough to mobilize those with the power to do something, but I also know it depends heavily on interests.
Regardless of the end result, the pointless loss of life will continue to the selfishness of a few.
You're seeing the US through a colored lens. It started losing its stride a couple of presidencies before Trump. Had the opportunity to make a comeback in several ways, yet shat on each and every one.
Trump's just the biggest visible zit on the US. Every other zit pushing him into prominence were something no one tried to clean before they got infected with pus.
It's all ugly and something that's been brewing for a long time.
This ain't no one man show. The "treason" is just an inner conflict that was left untreated for a long, long time. The US needs to start healing itself, pronto.
If that's your take on it, that's fine. I'm not saying it's wrong, but it sorta is.
When two parties meet at the table, it's about protecting their interests. This is how much "both sides are the saaame”.
In this particular case, Zelensky acts in the interest of his country and Trump acts in the interest of his personal fiefdom. But such cases happen all the time, for example EU and Orban or EU and Lukashenko. Two fiefdom barons leveraging the safety of countries for their own personal gains.
It ain't special. It's annoying, but these types of "leaders" have always existed. So get a grip and quit with the doomer shit.
Yup. Politics are ugly. Always have been, hopefully won't always be as well.
We generally don't see the ugliness, but right now it's fully exposed.
The recoil from seeing it happen might be hard to swallow, but that doesn't make it any worse than it usually is when hidden.
But we can also see the strength of having to go through that and still walk away.
Now I'm hoping the next period of time won't prove me wrong and this moment will be an important impetus for change towards the better.
If I am proven wrong though, I'll join your pessimism.
You're being too pessimistic. Alliances have always been about being strange bedfellows that'll stab each other in the back should the proper conditions ever be met.
No matter how kissy-kissy politicians may be in front of a camera, backroom dealing is still the norm. Only the orange guy mistook the backroom with a toilet and so it stinks of shit for everyone to see.
Whatever the end result of this, whoever's left afterwards will get back to tender intimacies without a hitch.
If you haven't come across them yet, then i might be a pioneer! Dibs on the patent!
But your words confuse me. Either it's not true at all or it happens. You're sure they exist, though rare.
As i said before, suspicious. You might just be one of those rare occurrences after all...
You wish to be the first acknowledged one, no? It's alright, you can have the honour. I'll keep mum about it for you.
