  • Ohhhh. Maybe it's to disable some animated UI feature or something? In that case I have a feature request to add an option to disable animations in thumbnails.

  • I can see several of your comments on that thread. Was it this reply to Copernican? It shows as having 2:1 downvotes

    I guess you don't mind talking to bots and advertising scripts then, I find that strange but you do you.

  • Deodorant smells gross. People smell fine. Fkn state of the world, convincing humans that smelling like a human is bad.

  • The only thing he's ever really been good at is getting attention. And fair play to him - here we are talking about him

    • Mass Organized Downvoting

    Jump

  • Iirc, the names of the accounts making up- and down-votes is part of the information that's synced between instances, and so available to admins if they care to look. Wonder if there could be some sort of mod tool to identify coordinated vote manipulation

    • So what are the climate change denialists in your life saying right now?

  • It's the hottest July in recorded history. Likely the hottest for tens of thousands of years. There hasn't been below average temperatures since the eighties, no not even that winter that you thought was quite cold at the time. Polar vortices are supposed to happen at, you know, the poles.

    • I'm trying to prove a point. Without looking it up, what are these?

  • They're aglets. I believe Phineas and Ferb is a cartoon, but I've never seen it.

  • They're ‰ not % - per 1000 not per 100. Hardly ever see that symbol in the wild tho - probably because, yeah, they're really easily confused

  • Reminded me how much I liked Cristobal Tapia Da Veer's soundtrack work on Utopia, Humans, and The Girl With All The Gifts. Looks like he's done some more that I didn't know about so I'll have to check it out

    • Topless... really?

    Jump

  • It's only weird cos we make it weird. Insist on hiding part of the body and that part of the body becomes sexualised. Fall to moral panics about sexualisation of a demographic, and that demographic will be sexualised. If everyone has their tits out, no-one will care about anyone having their tits out. Not even the pervs.

    • Why is youtube suggesting aggressive actions against protestors?

    Jump

  • most people that search for videos of protestors, are looking to see them get owned.

    Not necessarily so. YouTube are after engagement. As the mantra goes; comment, like, share, and subscribe. Sometimes that means showing people what they want to see, sometimes it means getting them hooked on a short term dopamine loop, and sometimes it means making them fight

    • Do you think editing titles of posts a good idea?

    Jump

  • I think the only way to get a title edited was to DM an admin. As you can imagine, they didn't do it often.

  • Oh indeed, but I think there is something peculiar to terfs that you don't see that much elsewhere. They're not just fervently believing some crazy shit. They're taking a cultural practice that's already widespread outside their movement, and fervently believing that it's some ironclad law of the universe. That's why they believe the science is on their side, and why they don't even need to check. And why they think that everyone, even their opponents, secretly agrees with them.

    I don't know that they're more dangerous or more far gone than other flavours of crazy. But they're certainly.. well, they're certainly something.
