Wasn’t ‘spastic’ a mainstream word too, for a hundred years? (Popularity again somehow implies legitimacy here). And I’m sure we can find a number of really objectionable words from the warmer us states that were incredibly popular for decades and are, yet, offensive.

Likewise, we’re allowed to dislike words like ‘moist’ and lazy prefixes like ‘cis’ while understanding they are still - for the moment - words.

This is a terrible tangent, though, and I’m okay if we stop this worthless digression.

shadow account linked to yours, but only the administrators of your instance know

  1. Vote my conscience
  2. Bribe my admins to secrecy

Gotcha!

I have a cousin on FB who’s like that, spamming feeds with a lot of stuff promoting a diet that works around her particular allergies and needs and trying to proselytize it to anyone who appears to be listening. The volume was actually really high, and for stuff that isn’t family stuff like I usually use that account to just see.

So, blocked. It’s like her and a rabid anti-gov/vax/tax nutjob blocked, and I dunno whether that’s right.

Is “agreement” a rule? That’s too incongruous to believe – only because loyalty requirements are a far right thing, not the rules for a group typically skewing left.

The English mistake makes it like like you’ve nicknamed people as ‘weird’.

Also, what’s up with not being able to block a community you’re banned from?

I’d like a setting that automatically hides communities where I can’t participate. If I have to be a member of some club, hit some threshold of something, whatever; I just don’t want to see it, then.

It can be both a decade old and top-5 of all time. It’s a great day when a top-5 game is on GoG or so.

I think the country seeing more of those two would really sway votes the way I’d prefer. So I’m biased.

But gov Walz represents as very genuine and honest and caring, and the more we can see some of that on our TVs the more we can believe that a most-good-soonest kind of administration is an option.

Look. They could lose. Or Harris and Walz could be faking, even if I don’t think so (or want to think so). Or gopnik fearmongering could be right and they could only be barely better than a Dump/Chance ticket.

Just give us this. We haven’t had positivity and hope since prez Obama and the hope of Change[TM].

Now, as I haven’t suggested everyone boycott for one particular single issue or another, I expect downvotes right to hell. So be it.

As a former prosecutor, she knows that letting a dumb defendant talk is how you win cases fast.

I’m all for the system, despite its flaws. This ‘would’ stuff, though; how’s that not magical thinking? Are we making a leap?
