This is something that bothers me. Every time something like this come up, there is a non-trivial crowd of people saying things like “no shit. In the right circle, everyone known for a long time”. Often they come with specific anecdotes that should raise all the red flags.

Well, I had no idea. Not a clue. And it’s not like I was not interested. I was fallowing his work, social media… live in general. He was a very close friend with a woman who was vocal about being an abuse victim. Nobody told her?

Even in the power of hindsight, when I was looking for articles or comments from the past, there was not a lot. I found like one, “there is nothing he wouldn’t do to lure a goth girl” (paraphrased), that got zero traction.

If there were signs, why did we let that happen? What can I do, not to fall for something like this again?

I’ll look into it. Appreciate your time, thank you. I’m going to search “what instance would Brannan Lee Mulligan choose” and see where this get me ;) see you on the other side.

Thank you. I need to find new instance for myself because lemme.ee. can you tell me why you chose blahaj.zone? I don’t want to support Russia in any way or form. It should be boycotted.

But I also think that crony capitalism will be our downfall. I try to reduce my reliance on US-based products, serviced and culture. Especially, on giants like google, disney, MS, etc. Boycotting US until they rethink they approach to allies like Canada, EU and Ukraine is also called for.

If you don’t mind, what would you recommend to someone who would like their revolution with no gulags?

What was your concern with lemmy.ml?

Neil Gaiman. He poisoned so much…

I watched it yesterday for the 2nd time (first time with my son). We laugh, we cried, we danced, we were shouting out loud and watched final battle standing on our feet. I unironically think it’s an excellent sport movie.

Wait, what are you saying. There is.a.dooferent movie named “first conact”? (Google didn’t help me)

This is my favorite movie. It’s the best that was ever written about mindfulness.

Ser (pronounced like in “Yes, sir!”)

Oh Man, the number of times I deleted something because of the notification on top that shift everything down… Drives me mad.

Noted. Thanks.

I think I understood it, but there is no way of telling if I’m right.

What are tankies?

There is something distopian in using bilionare as the metonym.

Thank you. My mind spins a bit, but that’s good for the brain I heard. If I’m on the instance A that is defederated from Instance B, I won’t be able to subscribe to it at all, right? Or is it jest that it wont show on my defoult feed until i subscribe implicitly?

Thank you. Are any instances known for federating with basically everything (beside absolutely extreme stuff maybe)? Something that I can take blind with reasonable expectation that I don’t loose much?

Somehow I find it very disconcerting, that you didn’t write “our” lifetime.

I’m sure you are implying something. But what? I’m genuinely asking.

If that’s how it works for you, sure. But that’s not the point. I don’t claim that people learn one way or another, or Wich part is easy. The point is that a “steep learning curve” means something specific in psychology, and people use it to describe something different.
