you have to actually tell the morons who vote for Republicans that they can eat shit and die, and do it to their faces, so they understand… being a whiny bitch certainly doesn’t help…

go out and plant a shrub

this particular case called for it, that’s all… there’s a reasonable warrant, and the details are now open to public scrutiny… it’s obviously been handled responsibly… creating a big uproar over it doesn’t help…

they were tracking down a SWATter, so i’m fine with it

Once the free exhibition wraps up at Kingston University’s Penrhyn Road campus on Saturday [Feb 17], those rare Q1 computers will either go under the hammer at auction or be privately sold.

i wonder what bids he’s already received for those things

for five grand we will rainproof the metal on your vehicle

scream in horror any time it meows at you… at the top of your lungs… no really, it will stop very quickly…

that’s pretty brilliant

complain to the oil men, they run your state… maybe go straight to the Saudis…

they just want to feel like one of us

the same study showed they actually prefer songs about little fishies

probably does most of the heavy lifting

i really don’t think so… again, personal experience… and i’m not sure why you would feel confident in stating the opposite…

it’s hard to quantify, but i’ve witnessed and defended against direct attacks of the typical kind that are pretty successful on reddit… the structure here is just less useful to them… discussion can carry on around their attempts to dominate a thread, and get the whole thing sort of flushed down a toilet of inane consensus… the traffic is nowhere near as high, so it’s hard to say how it will evolve…

also it seems easier here to shout down trolls, also due to the structural difference… trollish behavior can be countered here pretty effectively with real discussion, where the voting mechanism on reddit makes it difficult…

i should note i use kbin, so my experience is different from a lot of other people

don’t ever let them see your tears, it’s how they multiply

jaded from Reddit and fear I’ll have people jumping down my throat

that’s not easy to get over, but trust yourself

it’s an interesting comment, because this space (the whole fediverse i guess) still seems to be in its infancy and its users are still trying to figure out what it’s good for… the differences you call out are all relevant… specifically the comment structure is healthier here than reddit, and less susceptible to brigading and trolling… it’s going to be interesting to see how it matures…

i think it’s a more flexible and useful tool than most of the other things like it around, so i’m pretty confident the internet will find something interesting to do with it… and probably sooner rather than later with all the fluidity in online populations…

it sounds like you’ve already surrendered your right to transportation… that license is something that i hold myself to and others… that’s the way citizenship works… i don’t ask for permission… i agree to abide by minimum functional requirements because i expect others to as well, and carry proof… you are confused…

if you think getting your driver’s license is “asking the government for permission” you are already a slave

all cars are headed there too… so very soon you won’t be able to get news or transportation without someone else’s permission…

who would have guessed a couple of trolls run a toxic workplace
