Agreed, I love coming here to contribute now that I can't comment or upvote on Reddit. This platform will eventually be considered Reddits successor.

Doesn't communism do the same? In fact why the fuck do the crazy psychos rise to the top seemingly everywhere? Is this one of those "nice guys finish last" kinda deals or some phenomenon I've never heard of?
Yeah that's crazy, I was furious when they fired Victoria back in the day. It's nice to see that Alexis Ohanian is the one who deserves the blame for that massive fuckup. Man that gives me a pang of nostalgia for the old days of reddit though. Interesting that the Wiki article points to Obama's presidency and the 08 financial collapse as a "glass cliff" event.
This is so cool, I'm so uninformed about Plex. I just heard about it on r/Piracy days before the Reddit shutdown. I'm getting ready to sit down and learn how to do all that, the hardware will baffle me I'm sure.
I just finished the Behind the Bastards podcast on Vagrancy. the destruction of the third place and destroying the ability to be anywhere for free without being hassled by the law has changed a part of America that was great. The freedom to exist is becoming elusive. The freedom to find common space with like minded people, that's becoming hard to find too. I hope this place helps.
So this is gonna be the post that makes me ask, "how do we save posted images through Connect?"
I was hoping it'd be something a little more dignified but I need what I need.
Do you think the stress has made him eat more or less? I bet that he's been fluctuating the last couple months, I feel like the unde might be the way to go
I really liked Wefwef, it led me to finding Connect, which I like even more. Excited for Sync too, it'll just get easier and easier to help build this community
I'm pretty "stupid" as well when it comes to online literacy, it's definitely challenging me to use Lemmy (I'm on Jerboa right now, gonna try some other apps like Wefwef and Sync when it comes out to see how I like them) but I really like the community and the potential here. I'm gonna have to learn how to do a lot of new things here, like figure out the extent of where my log in works, how to organize the instances I want to go to and be a part of, and how to search through this content. But I'd rather get on the ball now so I can fully integrate and leave Reddit behind. It already felt like a cesspool before Spez did his thing, and it's getting worse by the minute now that the 3rd party apps are down
That's the thing about beans, there's always more...
That's a thought exercise I first explored when I was tripping on LSD one time. Once you accept that colors could look entirely different, what's to stop us from imagining that the entire makeup of our perception is adjusted to the individual, but the chaos of the universe keeps all of our unique perceptions in enough alignment that we can interact seamlessly with one another. The concept of an "alien green man" could be what someone actually sees the whole human species as, and the words "alien green man" just fit a different description to that individual, so when refrenced, that person envisions an alien being as foreign as the "alien green man" is to us, and can communicate with others on that concept.
Perception defines your experience
Which is why different animals perceive color in different ways. I'd have to look for it but I think it's tigers that see green in a totally different way than people do.
While you are correct that suffering is a better metric, there would be many in our society that would gravitate towards higher rated suffering items in the same way they want real fur coats and real leather in their Ferraris. That would backfire quickly.
Thank you very much for the very easy to digest explanation of his multiple investigations. We are living through an absolutely insane time
