Remembering the time when I thought the website for the purported uK-Italian electric company “powergenitalia.com” had me laughing for days.

Someone like Kyla Scanlon would contribute high-value, strong vibes content here, but I would also worry about her mental health should she ever join.

Maybe an explanation for why so many Hollywood types seem so hyper-sensitized to identity politics issues is their experiences in a particularly toxic industry. My experiences in tech and law have never been as bad as what I hear about in entertainment.

I remember talking to an acquaintance years ago— a Big 4 consultant— who had a big project at one of the major studios, and one of the first things her client (an executive) did was brazenly sexually harass her, and he kept doing it! I was shocked that such conduct was basically accepted.

Is it ethical to kill an apex predator for food? Is it ethical to kill an apex predator after it kills *its* food? Is it ethical to kill an apex predator after it kills its food *for* its food? If a tiger kills a cow and I immediately shoo the tiger away can I eat the cow?

This is wise. Nobody should bother with the oldskies at this point. Just look forward to a brighter future.

The “newskies” feed shows people’s first posts as they join — I’m boosting and engaging with lots of them. Highly encourage everyone to go welcome some newcomers if you have time!

It just occurred to me that an invite-only app like Poaster, which was used primarily by tech bros, self-procolaimed “schizopoasters,” and evidently some sex workers, has never had the kind of issues we’ve seen here recently.

New cult just dropped: Branch Dravidians, led by Mama Store Brand Guy.

if I didn't think it was immoral I would be so good at woke status games like you wouldn't believe. dravidian who grew up dirt poor, you think I couldn't use that to become king fuck of woke mountain??

1. users submit mod reports (complaints) that are heard by a mod. 2. parties gather evidence advocate for themselves or retain advocates. 3. mods make rulings on how to interpret the ToS. 4. a random cohort of jurors is selected from various neutral clusters to make determinations of fact.

It’s kind of interesting how the Internet keeps generating new examples of why concepts like Due Process and rules of evidence exist, and why there are so many lawyers in America.

It's kinda wild seeing people on What's Hot consciously post about the steps as they fall prey to the political-dunk-dopamine cycle. Like watching someone say "What's that white powder? Heroin? Oh, just a little I guess." My siblings in sky: you are the ones who made the last hellsite what it was.

I feel bad for this team, trying to build something new while enduring a growing cacophony of whiners. Maybe it’s better to build a sandbox and auto-shunt the crybabies there while completing the protocol.

good with the bad; if I want to hear praise then I have to hear criticisms like I said before, this may all end in a fantastic blaze. but I want yall to know we are actively recruiting an experienced T&S expert and team, we are and have been delaying protocol work to focus on moderation, 1/n

One of my favorite educational experiences of the pandemic was seeing the sheer volume of drop-shipped Alibaba wares sold here as “innovative” “new” “small business” products.
