The globe is immaterial.

Communism. The idea is great, reality is so fucked up though.

Plenty of neighbours to eat. Just saying…

No idea, but it reminds me of the US electoral college.

Local is for regular apps, LocalLow is for depressed apps and Roaming is for high apps looking for munchies.

So, we prefer dictatorships now? Interesting.

Depends on the franchiser.

Some are completely hands off that let you use their name for a slice of profits and simply move on once the deal falls through.

Others however like to micromanage, with a ton of restrictions and a middle-level cunt watching your every step and butting in on everything.

They did.

Divinity works in mysterious ways…

A fairy teleportation portal. It’s the upgraded version of a circle of mushrooms.
To not be confused with a circle of 4-leaf clovers, which is the treasury entrance to a leprechaun’s pot of gold.

Can they see passwords? If so, I recommend not using the same stuff for every instance.

I’d say empathy is a social skill learned through experience or proper education.
It can still be distorted and applied selectively or even outright ignored.
And at its core, it can be both simple and complex. Whatever emotions you feel and why can be felt by anyone else in the same way, but perhaps for different things.
So the main thing empathy asks is to understand that, to accept that having their experience and knowledge from their life is what guides their decisions, just as your own guide yours.
We don’t know the same things and we should appreciate that difference, even though we might not agree with it.

Empathy for animals is easier to have because they are simpler to gauge and direct in their actions. Less of a headache to deal with the why’s.

What’s interesting is that the language allows multiple meanings. The commenter above can either be driven bonkers by presence of nuance or the lack of it and both interpretations are correct.

The first sentence can be seen as being against nuance or it can be seen as being against the online experience of asking for nuance.
The next sentences can be seen as arguments against nuance or examples of behaviour encountered when asking for it.
And the final bonkers can either be against the use of nuance or the repeated responses to it use.

So without further clarification, we can’t really be sure which stance the commenter implies.
With only these two situations presented, it’s a 50/50, left or right choice, so I’ll go ahead and presume it’s the latter, since that seems to be more likely encountered in online chats.

Empathy is generally described as the ability to take on another’s perspective, to understand, feel and possibly share and respond to their experience.

We’re all the same, equally susceptible to bad influences that can compound and overwhelm our sense of right and wrong.
No one is beyond saving, but sometimes the effort needed to do so is impossible to reach.

You can try, within your interpretation of their rules. And if you get banned for that, take pictures.

If you have evidence of abuse and selective enforcement of the rules, show it in order to allow the admins to act on it.
Don’t just lash out, document the exchange. Keep a record of the favouritism.

Understandable, however, generalities sometimes aren’t enough in a court of law.
The difference between the spirit and letter of the law allows for interpretations that don’t agree with each other. As we can see in this situation.

And like it or not, this is a social court of law. Moderators and admins are judges who follow the rules and administer relative justice. You can either agree to give them the latitude to have their own interpretation of the rules as long as they stick to them, or you make concise rules that offer no room for discussion.

You might say each instance can have its own rules and that is true, but when those written rules are the same and defederation starts to happen because there is disagreement on the meaning of those words, the “in general” part is going to be the mainstay of how rules are enforced.

And, in general, that’s part of what causes societies to fall.

bigotry
ˈbɪɡətri
noun
obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

If the person in question went after them simply because they are part of the group called ‘tankies’, the first rule was broken.
If the person in question was the first to throw out insults, the second rule was broken.

If however the opposing group initiated the conflict, broke the same rules and was not punished, then the complaint here is fair and should be pursued in order to prevent an escalation of abuse.

…

The nasty thing about bigotry is that by definition, it doesn’t matter which group is being discriminated against. It accepts all discrimination under its label.

Thank you and I’m sorry. This bit just flowed out on its own and I have little control over the whims of inspiration.
The great part though is that it’s not something exclusive to suffering artists or talented writers. Anyone can create something of worth, even if only to a few.
We merely have to let the mind wander and flow, then look back at the trail it left behind and enjoy the result.
Creativity and imagination should not be stifled, nor worked at a demand. It’s the natural that brings out the greatest smiles.

Does it matter? Anyone will draw whatever conclusion they want from written words.
Any post made represents a train of thought created in that moment, for that moment.

We like to overanalyze stuff and inferr suppositions, create entire lifetimes based on fragments of text. But more often than not, there is no hidden meaning, no greater link to map out. Though it’s fun to imagine there is.

The online medium is fantasy. A separate dimension from reality. A glimpse into past moments that most of us rarely even think of while out there actually living. Shitposts, trolls, memes, bots, insights into the human psyche and so on, all mushed up together where you can’t even tell the true from the false.
A simple truth is that everyone online is a lie. Whether spurred by anonymity or cowed by social expectations, the online persona is a default mask we craft for ourselves, perhaps even unknowingly.

Some say it’s who they truly are, free or the debts and responsibilities of real life. But it’s not completely true. Hiding this inner self is part of who we are, though we like to reject it. These posts, these thoughts are pieces of what we need to express, a lashing out at the norms that bound us we do not agree with. Yet they do not represent us, not fully.
Just as in a sudden moment of pain, we express the emotion through a verbal release of vulgarities, so too are these written declarations the release of that painful constriction society holds over our words and deeds.

…

TL;DR: Always.

Hearsay and gossip on my part. Haven’t been banned on world yet that i can remember, so I have no personal details to give.
But if you have time to waste, scroll through the mod log where available and feel free to agree or disagree with the actions taken.
