School zones in non-urban America are pointless

  • Go to https://betterhelp.com/mapmen for 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help.

    Therapist: How can I help you?

    Me: I'm just constantly feeling so much rage!

    Therapist: Is there a trigger for it?

    Me: All these fucking Youtube content "creators" advertising a corrupt and bogus mental healthy outfit!

  • You should look into how past civilizations collapsed. They collapse quite quickly without a lot of mass death (beforehand, I mean).

    • 'The Star Wars Holiday Special' was a disaster. This new film examines why

  • I think that entire documentary could be summarized as "Drugs. Lots of drugs. Lots of drugs in lots of varieties."

  • You mean the someone else whose Xhitter handler is in the bottom right?

    Or are you too busy looking for reasons to be pissed off to actually look at things?

  • "Reaching Mastodon" is still just gum-flapping. Reach Mastodon developers. Use their issue tracker. Address them directly. All you're doing here is beating a pot with a ladle while parading around the house.

  • So use them. I don't know where the communication breakdown is here. You like centralized social networks. USE THEM THEN. I can't see why this is so confusing to you.

  • Making statements is as much bullshit as "raising awareness". If you don't have skin in the game--as a developer, as a funder, as part of governance--your bleatings are as valuable as the bleatings of anybody else commenting without cost.

    Get involved. Get skin in the game. Participate in the process of making Mastodon. Hell, if you absolutely must bleat without working, at least bleat in the right place: the actual project's communications channels!

    Bleating in Lemmy that Mastodon must change is just performance art.

  • "Mastodon" is a program. It has absolutely no agency whatsoever, and without agency there is no responsibility.

    So now you're probably really saying "Mastodon's developers" have responsibility.

    Good. Pay them. Writing software is a huge job, and getting your software suddenly stress-tested by millions of users abandoning a sinking ship is a good way to get overloaded and even burned out. So you think they have responsibility for something? Help them get it done. Beginning with paying their foundation so that they can hire more people to do it.

    Coming in and writing a huge rambling set of demands is not how you're going to get anything changed.
