Anon reads Into the Wild

Reply in thread

Basically everyone who jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge and lived (only ~2% of jumpers) regretted doing it before they hit the water.

My teacher in biology back in school explained that this was due to hormones being released something something close to death something something. In essence, it was not a "choice" to regret jumping, but rather a biological response. So you would regret it wether you wanted to or not, so to say.

READ: Stunning FBI Doc Claims Trump Assaulted Teen Girl After She ‘Bit the Sh*t Out of’ His Penis

Page 10: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2012/EFTA02858481.pdf

EPSTEIN talked about blackmailing people in front of [redacted]. [redacted] was confident TRUMP knew EPSTEIN blackmailed people because she heard EPSTEIN and TRUMP talking about it. [redacted] stated she knew TRUMP had illegal building permits. She heard him (TRUMP) talking about washing money through casinos.

I wonder if this is true, about Trump washing money.

Did she die or something?

Almost. I found this article: https://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/police-couldnt-understand-war-machines-ex-christy-mack-because-she-didnt-have-teeth-after-beating/news-story/363ca9fa59e720e41bdb4e257a529ffb

A DETECTIVE investigating former mixed martial arts fighter War Machine’s grisly attack on his ex-porn star girlfriend says she was too battered after to give her account.

“I just couldn’t understand what she was saying but it was because she didn’t have teeth,” Mr Tomaino said at the trial.

How should Lemmy & Piefed handle voting activity from banned/deleted accounts?

Reply in thread

I would give you an Insightful vote but I don't have any left. /s

Jokes aside, I like both limiting number of votes per day (or otherwise) and having different kinds of votes. The reason why something is up/down voted can make for a better discussion. But I am agnositc towards renewing votes bases on engagement. On one hand, it would increase engagement, and on the other hand, it could scare lurkers away from otherwise upvoting good content.

I'm not from the US. I knew about Apartheid in Africa and I knew about the Triangular trade. I know that being a POC in the US comes with problems, for lack of a better description, compared to being a white male. I did not know that black people were seperated by law until around 1968 (according to Wikipedia, that is when segregation was outlawed in full, as of Civil Rights Act of 1964, Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968 (but not in de facto, because people)).

As to my original question, I consider recent around the last five, perhaps ten years. I would imaging this picture being taken around 1970, before something like this (hopefully) would have been removed.

EDIT: I should add that I also knew about black people and white people not mixing back then, but not that it was also by law.

EDIT 2: Now that I think about it, this is depicted in Umbrella Academy.

Until it affects me

Is it not more about dicussing their problem, in a space they created for it? Black Lifes Matter is a good example of this. Black people want to discuss their issues, and suddenly all lives matter and what about this and that group?

This is not saying that other problem does not exists or are any less real or problematic, but instead they someone should be able to talk about their perceived problem without being forced to include someone else's problem. Those people with those other problems are just as welcome to have their own discussions.

Rule 3 - Updated

In addition, rule 7 (low effort posts) is deleted as everyone seems to agree its handled just fine with votes.

Completely agree with this one. I like to browse new and I'd rather keep the occasional low effort post than delete them. There are relatively few posts at it is.

Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face

Reply in thread

It also includes other functions that is not NSFW. Nothing that I personally care about but might be a deal breaker for bigger communities.

Discord breaks down the restrictions as follows:

  • Content Filters: Discord users will need to be age-assured as adults in order to unblur sensitive content or turn off the setting.
  • Age-gated Spaces: – Only users who are age-assured as adults will be able to access age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands.
  • Message Request Inbox: Direct messages from people a user may not know are routed to a separate inbox by default, and access to modify this setting is limited to age-assured adult users.
  • Friend Request Alerts: People will receive warning prompts for friend requests from users they may not know.
  • Stage Restrictions: Only age-assured adults may speak on stage in servers.
