…because you’re banned

I just saw you get banned in real time and it felt good.

somebody said they don’t like tattoos and they’re an indicator of undesirable people.

Not the objectionable part, and you should know it. You’re either arguing in bad faith, or your mind is genuinely broken.

And again, stop being so fucking judgemental about it. Why do YOU care so much?

Literally yes. Everyone lies. Every human being lies. Hell, probably every MAMMAL lies. Your partner lies to you. People fuck up. Statistically, you’re going to get cheated on in this lifetime.

When you are ostensibly monogamous, it is perfectly acceptable to assume your partner is 100% exclusive under any circumstances, because you are not putting anyone else at risk, and that assumption probably makes you happier. When you are poly, you cannot make that assumption and are ethically obliged to make the contrary assumption. This looks like: getting frequent STI tests, requiring the same of your partners, discussing risks, negotiating what risks are acceptable and how to practice safer sex that meets everyone’s needs, and having the integrity to do what you say and say what you do.

You can trust your partner. You cannot expect your other partners to also trust your partner.

It’s just opsec, dude. When other people’s lives are on the line, that’s how you have to think. Don’t be so judgemental.

Holy crap I can’t believe you think this is about tattoos and not about atrocity. “I am okay with people being sent to concentration camps, tortured, and murdered because I don’t really like tattoos. If you find this view objectionable, it’s just because you have the tattoo mind virus and cannot tolerate criticism of tattoos.” I cannot express how fucked up this is to say. Like you may be completely detached from reality in this moment and should probably isolate yourself until loved ones can help you. You may be in danger.

Votes mean less on Lemmy than they did on Reddit. So we can sweat it less what people do with them. Not a big deal.

I like a good “ooer” now and then.

Wow. So, you acknowledge that there is a chance of anyone cheating? Then the more partners you have, the more likelihood that one of them cheats.

There is no such thing as an exclusive partner.

They do. That’s why voter suppression is such a big factor in every election.

I don’t think that your assumptions are true. Non-voters tend to be more progressive than voters, because conservatives vote religiously out of a sense of duty and responsibility, and progressives vote when they feel like it.

This is a lever that moves in two directions. Voter suppression is a very real thing that happens in every American election. It’s practiced by conservative candidates for exactly the asymmetry I mention above.

Young again

Because it’s not an issue. This is the system functioning as intended. Changing this behaviour would cause dramatic performance degradation for the 99.999% of the time when the device you are writing to isn’t removable media that you want to eject right away.

You know it’s become a personal beef when you know the trade name of the device that insults you.

Just open TikTok! Now your problem is solved, as well as mine.
