On a dog.
Just another reddit exile.
On a dog.
A) There is no hive mind. That’s just you perceiving a bunch of people who happen to hold a similar opinion as a monolith, and that’s an illusion. You have no data whatsoever to support the idea that they’re thinking in concert or even have the same reasons for their reactions.
d) Instead of having a kneejerk reaction when you get this kind of response and immediately being defensive, step back and use it as a reflective moment. Maybe you misjudged the room, misinterpreted the potential impact of what you posted, or are simply on a different track from those who downvoted. What can you learn from it? Do you need to change your own approach, or do you need to reevaluate your audience?
Idunno about you, but I’m going to continue calling it twitter whenever I derisively refer to it or think of it at all. If only because it would make the manbaby angry/sad.
Part of me wonders if it’s an attempt to tank the SEO, so people can’t search for or news or easily talk about the site anymore - because it’s been nothing but bad.
Read a sidebar before posting in a community please. This is not for your support questions.
You know how many outmoded and idiotic laws are still on the books, but are simply ignored because it’s embarrassing to even acknowledge them? Law is not absolute.
How is this “good approach”?
Dhis fuckeeng guy.
My point, if I have one, is that it’s trendy for a vegan to object to eating sterile eggs even from well-treated chickens, but hardly anybody wants to talk about the way too many dogs are treated, just as a manner of course.
Yes, many people treat their dogs well, or think they do, but they’re still routinely confined, leashed, fed cheap crap food, left alone in the yard with no stimulation for most of the day. They’re bred to serve and treated like furniture or at best interactive toys or escorts to make their owners feel good.
Nobody wants to talk about how miserable most of these animals probably are for large parts of their existence, because they wag their tails and jump excitedly in the rare moments when their people actually give them attention. Hardly anyone wants to give a thought to what an existence as a dog muct actually be like. And that’s for the well-treated ones. There are just as many or more who are penned in tiny yards or otherwise mistreated, but don’t you dare criticise dog owners or the industry for turning a blind eye so long as the dog food money keeps flowing.
That’s great! I’ve been watching since I noticed the berries so ripe, and I actually saw a red-headed finch in the yard today for the first time in years, so hope isn’t lost.
Religion of peace.
Peace from caring about others.
How is this not considered attempted manslaughter at the very least? Even non-citizens have rights under our own laws. Whoever issued those orders should be dishonorably discharged and jailed. Seems pretty cut and dried to me.
They absolutely could. I don’t know if there’s a good technical solution to that. Maybe requiring IP registration or some other identity verification for mods over a certain number of communities.
While I grant that there probably are a handful of people who can mod a dozen or more smaller communities and not power trip, I think they’re probably the exception to the rule, and we shouldn’t encourage it. The more communities you mod, the higher the standards should be for community engagement.
Zero. That’s the really weird part.
Funny to be more concerned about the chickens than the animal enslaved for life and bred to feign affection.
But then it’s typical for rationality to go out the window for some people when dogs are concerned.
Cool. Cool cool cool.
