I think it's alarming that we can't be sure whether this woman was doing that or not. Her skills are one-point if it was just an act.

I agree it was ridiculous, but why would the woman validate the question by giving the most obviously abhorrent response? That just made the question no longer ridiculous, because she answered in the affirmative.

In other words, "can a mother murder her toddler?" is only a ridiculous question if everyone in the room agrees on the obvious answer. This time, not everyone did... somehow.

No time for ethical consistency when we have degenerate music to consume!

This is neat, but do people even have those cartridges anymore? I wonder if this is them knowingly releasing a device they intend to be used for piracy.

Does this confirm that giraffes are brown with yellow lines, rather than yellow with brown spots? This could be huge for the giraffe community.

Maybe it's a really, really deep basin for washing all the dishes we put off.

Remember when Cardi B admitted to drugging and robbing people, and absolutely nothing happened to her public image?

I will never call it "X," just like I will never call Facebook "Meta."

Good on you for being principled. I experience the same sort of feeling, and I've tried to just redirect that need for content into other media.

Don't be too complacent, of course. I've seen people on the Fediverse turn feral and Reddit-esque during discussions of particular culture war issues. It's not completely peachy here all the time; there are some subjects about which some people can't help losing their composure.

Boomer comic 🤮

 

I have to try each page and scan the entire thread for my avatar in order to find the exchange the notification was telling me about. It would be very nice if the notification link just jumped directly to the reply.

 

It's possible I'm misunderstanding something here, but I'm confused.

 

It seems like it would help further prevent censorship, given how each instance of the Fediverse is run by people who can unilaterally decide what their users see. I'm beginning to feel like federation is but a half-step toward a solution.

 

Does anyone know how simple/feasible it would be to host your own instance of Kbin with little to no experience in such things? I would love to try it, but I don't want to start the process if it's beyond my capability. I've skimmed the documents, but I'm still cautious.
