So, I came to vis.social because I do have an interest in data visualization.
That having been said, it seems my favorite type of mastodonning is much more generalist in nature. I have many opinions on many things, some of them even relevant and pertinent!
In order to not clutter the vis.social timeline, I am gonna migrate to mstdn.social.
I have had nothing but great experiences with the community, admins, and mods here and I wish you all the very, very, very best! 😃
My spouse just searched “people getting arms chopped off in helicopter accidents” with Siri.
I……I feel like I’ve missed something here.
Update: she just muttered, “It DOES happen.”
I have definitely missed something.
A lot of Mastodon users seem to think what Black people coming to these services need are list of "safe spaces".
No. We need economic support until reparations are paid. That's it.
We don't need exposure and we certainly don't need faux safe spaces that mostly cater to allies desires to feel like they have Black friends.
We need monetary support while we fight for Reparations Now.
Everything else is a distraction from this, the only workable solution.
Oh my God.
I’ve just realised what ChatGPT reminds me of. It’s from Douglas Adams’ novel Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, published 35 years ago.
Realize i'm not going out on a limb saying this, but god damn, Charles Schulz was the fucking GOAT.
This strip ran on christmas god damn DAY.
hope, n. /hōp/
If you don’t know what I’m referencing, you’re better off.
Anyway.
Here’s my serious non-rhetorical question: people who beat their gums regarding the notion that freeze peach should default automatically to higher consideration than bigotry speech; what are these corner cases where something valuable may be lost because of being in conflict with the values of not being bigotry speech?
Real examples, not just hypothetical tyranny someone is making up, please.
