@taylan @p @SilverDeth you can do things however you like when it comes to personal relations. i just don't think that it's that easy to make friends. i was invited by colleagues as well - it's just what some people do. that doesn't mean they are friends i'd rely on, especially after witnessing close friends going crazy during chinese flu era.

to me, using language like "orbiters" reflects how you seem to view others: not like equals who you might dislike or disagree with but as lowers. you can very well just mute people. i collected quotes in my bio as well but specifically without calling out people. it serves to keep away the collectivists. interestingly most of these quotes are in one sense or another saying i'm cognitively challenged, a classic argument of collectivists for centuries.

the point of free speech IS that you can use these words, because they are just words. I don't use them because I think using this language does change myself more than it changes others. insulting doesn't help me improve myself, neither does it further the goals i deem important.
p has a pretty good post on the FSE blog about free speech.

i haven't read your exchange about passwords. representation doesn't matter, as long as it's a reversible operation it doesn't change the strength of a password.

i think it's a pretty good hobby to hack on things which solve ones problems. annoying people on the net being one problem, a bot that replies them nonsensical stuff with the objective that they leave one alone is a pretty amusing solution.

in the post which i said was good advice, p suggested that arguing with people online might not be the the best way to spend ones limited time alive.
