They didn't say you couldn't appeal a civil case. They said that ineffective counsel can't be the basis of that appeal.

Yes, but orders of magnitude less often than random members of the public "doing their own research". And looking at the consensus of the experts rather than individual experts the error rate is further orders of magnitude below that. You need to let go of the idea that information being a good basis for decisions means that it's "absolute truth", because only religion has that; what we have is some sources of information that are less likely to be wrong than all the others, and that's unfortunately the best you can get.

The saying never says that you can make 999,999,999.99 honestly. It just says one amount you can make honestly and one amount you can't. The implication is that the outer limit of what you can make honestly is somewhere in between.

I don't think that's what it's saying given that "sexual themes" is on this list as well. Seems more like they're saying "we're allowing more sexual content if it's properly labeled, but we're going to start keeping those labels off the home page, and while we're at it we'll take off a bunch of other objectionable content"

Holy crap. This should be it's own post. Just purged all the "serious" communities I was following on there.

Haha yeah, good point. I guess I should have specified it would be a good post on this community specifically where people look to find handy tips for using Lemmy effectively. The fact that one of the huge instances where a lot of your search results come from when you're starting out looking for content has such an aggressive pro-totalitarian moderation strategy is an unexpected, but very useful insight.

This is definitely a gap on the main community pages, but in the interim, if you click into an actual post it shows the fully qualified community name at the top. At least that's what I'm seeing.

Can't agree more. Despite all the gnashing of teeth the railgun still performs great in many situations, it just isn't a panacea anymore. The "buffs not nerfs" crowd seems to be under the impression that the ideal balance for the game is one where they can reliably win missions at Helldive difficulty. Which is silly since the level below that is literally labeled "impossible". Why would they create 9 levels of difficulty if the intention was for most players to spend all their time grinding level 9? You think it's BS that there are so many armored units and the anti armor tools don't make it easy to handle them? Yeah that's what "impossible" means. If you were playing on "hard" I doubt you'd have that problem.
