The entire thread is visible to me on Voyager and Chromium with no deletions, I don't see any deletions under this post either

I've interacted with a lot of manipulative people online and offline, and nothing I could find in wildginger's public comments was suggestive of manipulation. No Motte & Bailey defense, no coercive use of ambiguous phrasing, absolutely no sealioning, and not much of anything else. The worst thing they did was show an understandable amount of anger at your insistence that Christian Selig open-source his highly expensive software.

Try hanging out in philosophy-focused spaces, some of them are pretty close to the "civil discussions on hard topics with moderation good enough to toss out manipulators and build everyone else up" sweet spot I'm always searching for

• any organization found to be using human meat in their product would be massively and permanently screwed, except maybe north korea
• human meat is a bad choice economically because farm animals have centuries of selective breeding behind them to make them ideal for consumption (pretty horrible but that's how it's worked out) and humans put all kinds of toxic stuff in their bodies which makes eating any human a gamble
• I don't eat veal so my risk of eating a person by accident is further diminished Edit:
• Eating people also leaves a paper trail, you would need to source bodies from prisons or mortuaries, and that couldn't be kept secret for long. This kind of logistical mess and legal risk makes it even less likely for even the worst corporations to pursue

I could believe it. Not because of weird antisemitic-adjacent conspiracy theories but because Tyson chicken already tastes like my front yard

two year retrospective: my pinephone still doesn't work lmao

Given the opportunity to vote in its current form, I'll keep voting no matter how evil the lesser of two evils is. By definition it's better than the alternative

I expect it wouldn't awkwardly share space with a plural pronoun. It sounds like Xe is what OP is looking for

I thought Russia was fighting with Cold War stuff and that that's part of why they were on the back foot. Something about rusty AK-47s

I think this was in one of the books of Enoch

My big two are long form chemistry videos (codyslab, nilered) and old archived hours of the first version of the AI show Nothing Forever. Very easy listening IMO and should hit most of your bases. Maybe also look for podcasts on a topic you like, those can be hours long

swearing like an injured sailor under my breath

How basic are we talking? You can already tear out the desktop environment if that's important to you

there are a few valid reasons to take issue with certain religions besides just "being edgy" - most have stuff in their scripture and doctrines that's unpalatable to the common unaffiliated person.

This is the short version of my comment where I don't cite a wide range of questionable passages from several religions. I'm trying to hold myself back. If you DM me wanting to get into it I'll be polite

Check this fella's post history. Pretty sure this is a serial baitposter

Very dated specs, no software compatibility, probably no carrier support, if you got it to connect to the internet it would be highly insecure from years of no updates. Tragically it's very much not an option

I've generally found the one-handed utilities on iOS and Android to be inconvenient and they don't help me well enough with horizontal stretches

(yes I really want a tiny phone)

Give me a normal good smartphone with a 100mm OLED display that I can use with one thumb and I'll never have another want in this world. The iPhone 4 was fine

this classic image's time to shine

at 17yo I thought my circumcision scar was a birthmark and I didn't know you had to have sex at least once per pregnancy

parents, please tell your kids where babies come from and what all their parts are supposed to do, and don't circumcise them either
