I moderate a community. Do I need to move that community? Or can I just give it over to my new account?

So small talk is a horrible name then.

Could one, instead, just ask "Hey, are you willing to get into a big deep metaphysical conversation right now?" Then ask the question?

People need to miss at least three meals in a row before they start getting serious. We don't have the material conditions yet to act.

The universe wanted memes, so it made us.

Wow, that is a jump. I'm curious, how did you get here from my comment?

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Yes, I agree. But in our current climate we have media and not a whole lot of social interaction. So for all intents and purposes currently media is driving our culture.

I wish I felt less socially awkward about making positive comments about others appearances.

Global sports events have never been hosted by governments with terrible human rights records right?

No no no noooooo.

The media creates the culture.

You can both vote and organize. Why vote? The more fascist the government is the harder it is to organize. For only 15 minutes every 2 years, it's actually a pretty powerful tool. It may not move things left but it slows down the fascism.

Thanks, yes, in this case I think it makes sense to vote third party.

 

I am enjoying the game, except one thing in the story that keeps coming up and causes me cognitive dissonance. I am in the first system and it isn't clear to me why we are not considered Pirates.

The characters are always saying stuff like "Don't be a Pirate" or "Kill all the Pirates". And then we do stuff like steal from factions/corporations that are neutral to us. Why doesn't that cause us to be Pirates?

We literally accidentally kidnapped someone. I am so confused.
