The defence against people pretending to be moderate is not to hit everyone who introduces themselves as a moderate in the face with a hammer.

Major plot mistake imho that we are being pulled in towards the great attractor, but the universe will tear itself apart before we get there.
You have to admit it is more complicated than that though. It's more complicated than jas describes too.
Is enabling people trafficking by having a fleet of boats hanging out on the libian coast really going to save more people than ending the practice all together?
It's absolutely true that countless other things should be done to help the poor around the world, but I genuinely don't see how encouraging masses of people to set out to sea in sinking boats helps anything at all?
Exactly! It must be the same sort of thing, as when it happens all outside sound disappears, and after the transition I am in a dream world with only dream sounds.
I have experienced something similar whenever I enter a lucid dreaming state. Sounds like roaring static as my brain switches over from ear input to dream sound input.
Give meta the benefit of the doubt? Are you joking? We literally know exactly how awful they are in every area they touch.
Porco every time for me, feels like a mini holiday every time I watch it, but Totoro would be a close second.
Ultimately the only thing that matters is if the fediverse is able to reach critical mass, who really gives a shit if reddit manages to limp along for years of gradual decline after all the good contributors leave?
If adventure mode is out for the steam version when you get around to it then that might be an ideal entry point
I agree with you, but this is a really bad counterargument to what they said. Even widely agreed politeness conventions to a degree 'compel' speech, so the debate is really around what speech is acceptable for society to encourage/suppress, rather than whether cultural changes are changing what people are compelled to say. Also, I don't think they said anything that suggested they are more concerned by that than hateful violence?
