@daya@tinosoft I don't think there are any really neutral instances (if I understand you correctly), but I think it is easier to relax on an instance that has a completely neutral moderation policy. This requires setting aside personal feelings when deciding to do something that affects other people using the machine, which seems like common sense to me, but appears foreign to a lot of people running servers, as they tend to think that the admin must endorse everything anyone else does. It seems like a stressful way to live, just constantly being vigilant that you will say the wrong thing and get sent away and then you can't talk to your friends, which is why I think a lot of them go on the attack so frequently: not only are they hypervigilant but if someone else is the bad guy today, it's not you. I don't want to have to think that way about my own posts, let alone everyone using FSE, so I don't. I'm also fundamentally lazy, so if two people can solve the problem themselves (blocking or muting or something) then it's better that they do that than that adults run to an authority figure to solve these problems. And if I try to solve it, I think it reinforces the idea that it's appropriate to do: I don't want to reinforce that idea, I don't want to treat adults like children.

Just whatever stops him from having a bad day every day. I swear, the dude walks out to his mailbox and along the way he has to curse the sun and declare that an enemy must have put the sun there to make him squint.
> there is no such thing as being terminally blackpilled.
Can't expect a fish to notice the water.
> And saying it is to be blackpilled to not like black metal is clearly retarded.
I have known you for how long? I didn't conclude this based on you not liking black metal, it's based on you not liking anything, ever, and actively disliking most things. I think this is the reason NEETzsche was asking that question: you are cranky, dude. You are gonna have an aneurysm. You need, like...I don't know, like, do you take naps or jerk off or sip tea at an open-air cafe with a charming young lady or, like, I don't know, there has to be something that improves your mood. Catching fireflies, laying on a patch of grass by a slow-moving creek, a dog, fifty dogs, fifty *puppies*.
@FailurePersonified@j@pantherastare Well, my dog is dead. Her luck's up. That was why I started again, basically woke up, drove a dead dog to the vet, woman bawling her eyes out, got moderately drunk, ran out of alcohol, went out to get more, purchased nicotine device while running around town half-drunk.
> I was kicking alcoholism when I started smoking,
Yeah, substances usually want other substances to displace them. Or you could try compulsive behavior, people take up frequent jogging or getting really serious about jacking off. Ain't a good thing to have a thing have a grip on you, I am lucky that my genes only like nicotine that much.
@NEETzsche@andreas@Cookieman@amerika@markcuban@lich@childrapist1488@lina@Looming@unlight@mint "Terminal blackpill" is like irony poisoning, it prevents the person from chilling out. Both conditions also stop people from ever saying "I like this" about a thing they actually like (that is, a thing that isn't defined exclusively in contrast to the thing they don't like, or isn't enjoyed entirely because it is the opposite of the thing they don't like). At least with terminally blackpilled people, it is theoretically possible to that bringing up their serotonin levels would fix the trouble, but I can't get the IRB to approve my methods.
Well, I can't see anything they've said unless I wander over there.
> apparently means they support the right to post the n-word without being banned (but not the right of people to protest genocide).
What it means is on the dang blog. Fuckin' commies spend zero time reading. Where do they get the idea that people aren't allowed to protest genocide? Are they so far up their own ass that they can't comprehend declining to ban people for any opinion? I mean, they're blocking people based on *assumed* opinions, I probably should not be surprised but fuck's sake.
