Magnitude always matters.

And every single riot scene in that show is amazing. I think my favorite was the cafeteria riot tho.

I had a biopsych professor who started most classes with:

Normal gets said a lot, it’s the average range most people are for that very specific thing. None of us are completely normal, and if anyone was they’d probably be the most unique person on the planet

Great message, a tad over dramatic, and definitely got repetitive quick.

But it’s important to remember none of us really think the same, and there isn’t really a “normal” like people usually think of.

If we weren’t all so different, it wouldn’t be so notable when we vibe with someone.

Like damn near everything else it’s not binary.

It’s not like everyone without it is the same, and everyone with is the same.

So for some people, it’s just normal human variation. For some people it’s a disorder.

If I ate an apple everyday, that’s kind of a lot but normal human variation

If I ate 10 apples a day and that’s all I ever eat, it’s a disorder.

Likewise ADHD can be normal variation or a disorder. Because magnitude matters and almost nothing is truly binary.

but some folks I put tags on just to see where they pop up.

So years ago on /buyitforlife, someone posted those super cheap work gloves that you’d legit got thru a pair before and after lunch. That’s why they never sold single pairs and you had to buy like a 10 pack.

Dude gets roasted in the comments, but I RES tagged him “ole softhands” and for years after I’d just randomly see the account somewhere and genuinely laugh out loud.

I don’t know why people want to have the same arguments with the same people, over and over again knowing it’ll never be productive.

For them social media is just a pvp arguing arena.

I don’t have the energy for that, if someone just doesn’t get something after 3-5 replies I stop replying, if it keeps happening elsewhere or they act like a dick, I just block them.

Why waste your time on something that you know is only going to fail and likely cause yourself aggravation?

We just started skipping the step where we pick a candidate people want to vote for, and jump straight to fundraising and then never get around to focusing on using the money to get votes.

The modern DNC literally only cares about money and it keeps letting trump get elected

As good as it is to see a new IP…

A Battle Bugs remake with these graphics would be so much better.

Lol, you haven’t heard what the “victory fund” really is yet, have you?

The state parties have to toe the line, or they’re abandoned.

Terrible strategy if the plan is getting Dems in office, great move if you’re blocking any real progress in exchange for bribes donations.

Shit. I was more worried in 2016.

He didn’t leave office peacefully, but he still left.

That’s how human brains work, we avoided the worst case scenario and life moved on. So we run into the same danger, but the response is lowered.

Which is why Dem turnout was so low this time

I’ve been saying this would happen for a long time, lots of people were.

The difference is the people running the DNC are just the people who can raise the most money. And the people with psychology degrees rarely have money as a priority.

We need to start having a party run by sociologists, psychologists, hell even go back to lawyers

The current strategy of 80s go-go Reaganites who only care about money ain’t working.

I lived thru 9/11 and 2016.

For over 20 years everytime a republican became president I’ve been told we’ll never have another election.

Maybe this time the wolf is real, but it’s a basic part of human psychology that more and more people will stop having a fear response everytime they hear “wolf”.

If we really don’t have an election in 2028, we’ll have a civil war before 2032. Maybe what comes after will be better than what we have now.

It sucks to live in interesting times, but that’s what’s happening.

This is literally the day after the election, don’t fucking tell me it’s too late to plan how to fix shit for 2028

I’ll never understand why people think the people running the DNC aren’t total fucking liars that will say anything for money.

Beating trump isn’t hard.

But beating him while grifting a billion dollar campaign funded by the people your voting base hates is very difficult.

Unfortunately when confronted with the choice, the DNC has shown us three elections straight that they’ll always pick money over votes.

So we either need to leave the party or replace leadership.

If we don’t do either 2028 will be exactly the same as the last three elections.

You’re still assuming it’s intentional…

A leaky pipe that slowly forms a stain that looks like the Virgin Mary doesn’t mean something made that simulation of an intentional representation of a religious figure show up.

And regardless of if anyone ever noticed the similarities or even sees it, it’s still there.

The entire universe might just be leaky pipes and if something “bigger” out there looks at the resulting water stain, maybe out of everything they could observe, something would remind them of their existence and they might chuckle.

But it’s very unlikely to be humans just statistically speaking.

On December 1, the situation, somehow, worsened when Kanye appeared on The Alex Jones Show. Over the course of the broadcast, he repeatedly praised Hitler and the Nazi party, insisting that he “loves” Nazis and “likes” Hitler, and at one point blatantly declaring, “The Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world.” His remarks placed Jones in the rare position of attempting to help Kanye walk back his extremism by reminding him that Nazis “did a lot of very bad things.”

“But they did good things, too,” Ye responded. “We’ve got to stop dissing the Nazis all of the time.”

That was in the morning. By evening, Ye had been indefinitely suspended from Twitter for posting an image of a Nazi swastika inside of a Star of David.

What’s weird is it’s always the accounts with no activity making these complaints…

Including this thread, OP has made 4 posts and 20 some comments over the last year.

So they blocked new accounts from Israel and Palestine, and the headline just mentions Israel?

Sounds about normal…

Not a Jungle Book game in case anyone else was curious

They probably thought you meant something different than what you actually meant.

…

You think they do an annual review of threads?

It was over a year ago I made the comment, they banned me for it five days ago.

I don’t know man, it’s weird you’re not getting that, but it doesn’t really matter.

I’m sorry if I’m explaining it poorly.

I did remember it wasn’t I blocked a mod, I explained why I might not respond. And apparently they didn’t like that I had blocked their instance

Weird, maybe because I looked at world’s modlog and not theirs like you seem to have done.

I clicked on the link, it was a comment from literally a year ago lol.

https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/3159844

I blocked the mod of that sub about a week ago, so they likely went and saw my last comment there and banned me for it.

Like I said tho, I’m perfectly fine with it. I blocked their whole instance a long time ago, I think it might have actually been that thread that clued me in it wasn’t worth ever going there again.

Thanks for finding that tho! I’ll remember to check an instance’s own modlog in the future for more details.

Quick edit:

(which your agreement to could be seen as agreement with trans-segrigation in sports).

Nah, I was explaining how the only way to get better at chess is to play better people, and there’s no reason for any classes based around gender. And the explanation for difference in skill, is simply that the best men refused to play women, so they never improved. The first female grand master was only that good because her dad was crazy good and made her and her sister play him constantly.

You need the experience of high level play to be able to play at a high level, and any gender divide in division just prolongs that. So I was arguing against any segregation at all.

That’s why they let it stay up a year until I blocked the mod of that community.

And suddenly it was transphobic.

A “tankie” isn’t the same as a communist.

A “tankie” is someone that takes China’s side (the tanks) in that famous picture of Tiananmen square.

Being a “tankie” is using communism as a facade for authoritarian governments where a small group of “upper party members” are essentially oligarchs.

Nah, I replied to OP and they deleted the comment.

Maybe that looks weird on some federated instances or apps tho.

If it looks like I’m replying to someone else, that would explain the down votes.

OPs post gets reposted pretty frequently, always by new accounts which tend to disappear a day or two later after some lazy posts.

I really do think it’s the same person who’s bans are in the screenshots.

It’s too random that a bunch of brand new accounts all find the post and quote it with perfectly formatting including all the pictures just to repost it the same place they found it.

Especially since the new account always claims they’re “helping new users” like they’ve been here forever.
