apotheotic (she/her)

Double Nazi salute while billions watched, targeting minority groups, cherry picking what he censors on his personal propaganda platform, saying that essentially his life’s goal is “eradicating the woke mind virus” because his daughter is trans… If it looks like a Nazi and it quacks like a Nazi.

Moving off a platform run by a Nazi seems like good news to me

I can’t see anyone else on this comment thread so I guess I must be defederated with whatever user you replied to

Does it though? I have used both and I vastly prefer my experience on signal. I don’t really engage with the like, “communities” aspect of telegram though so perhaps thats what I’m missing?

Not a liberal, but people on the left generally consider hate, hate.

“is segregation which is considered terrible by all of you” you’re just going to tell on yourself that you think segregation is a-ok?

Curious, what legal political opinions are you referring to?

I don’t disagree with the sentiment but I think having accessible, entertaining education resources would also be a huge boon. They’re sure not going into depth on the topics but I imagine getting people “on the hook” could be huge, and then they can find other more educational resources from others in the community.

All of kurzgesagt, minute physics, vsauce, Steve mould, matt parker, and veritasium. I think they’re invaluable education resources and it would be useful to be able to distribute them, or just have them for my own sake.

I have no doubt you put a lot of effort into your post! Its not meant as a personal attack or anything malicious, just what hopefully comes across as a well-intended bit of feedback when it seems like you might have a lot of less well-intended stuff coming your way.

Paragraph 1:

The second version is, obviously, easier to read and understand, and thus more accessible and a better way to get your point across. Its not that your post is impossible to understand, its that it is harder to understand (and, to read, and to gain context for - a 5 minute screen recording scrolling through a thread?) than it should be for no gain.

Paragraph 2:

Yes, you make choices based on “what will expand more easily and what one considers accurate”, undeniable fact. But an equal part of the writing process is making those same choices with the reader in mind. You can maintain precision while still making your communication more easily understood and succinct. These are not in opposition to one another, they are in service of the same goal - communicating with others.

Paragraph 3:

That is a problem, for sure. I make no debate about the existence of those who behave wilfully ignorant. I agree with 90% of what you wrote in this paragraph, but:

You say transparency guides your habits, but I hope that you can accept feedback that the way you are communicating in the OP and your linked post are not resulting in transparency, but opacity.

Unquestionably the aforementioned (for posterity, the length of sentences) can be demonstrably shown not to inherently manifest itself as without sense, rather it is the wilful extension of the content of the post and obfuscation of the meaning behind via superfluous verbiage and lexical tomfoolery.

Or

No, sentences being long doesnt necessarily make them not make sense. But length and word soup, both without reason, makes it harder to parse, without reason.

To be a pretty girl

Growing up now, I’ve learned I was always a girl. I’m working on the pretty part.

I suppose that depends largely on which demographic you’re looking at in China, but its nice that there’s some good news

So which people are just having a great time right now? /gen

PTB. Throwing a fit because you pointed out their blatant transphobia

No arguments here

People with whom I feel safe, yes. It makes things easier.

Nice of this one to tell on themselves though!

Oestrogen (joking but also serious)

On a more serious note, a raspberry pi to run pihole and gobble up all the ads for all devices on my home network

I think I would be fine. I already have limited wealth and I’m directing a significant portion of it to the betterment of the world around me. If my wealth/income increased tenfold (as an example) I don’t think I’d be able to find a use for more than, idk, 15-20% of the additional money? So I’d just heavily ramp up the funds going to charities and local causes.

Extending this out to the infinite wealth scenario, I’d be able to help more causes so I’d need to find out which charities are actually putting money to use for what they say they are, extend my mindset beyond local causes and to the whole globe. Almost certainly drop some fat stacks into buying out basically every fossil fuel corp and start the process of getting that shit phased out. Sure I make some terrible people rich(er) in the short term with the buyouts but fuck it, the environment needs to be prioritized.

How I’d convince this hypothetical entity? Idk, probably just explain all of the above and I guess show some hard data on my track record for this. If the entity is determined to put the money in the hands of someone who is going to do good, either I’ll be good enough or I won’t.

If its not infinite and “just” billions then I’m probably going to funnel about half of it into local (national) causes and the other half into affecting what positive change I can worldwide. Process for convincing the entity remains the same.
