Or shoot you.

Unfortunate the infographic comes with the rubbish “manliness” eg, toxic masculinity, narrative.

Workout. Opportunity to grow. Strength. Patience. Compassion (for self and others)…

Sunsets and sunrises; a butterfly. Watching deer walk. The hope of a healthier, happier, world for everyone.

Wait, they said nothing productive was coming from the thread, including themselves, then locked it? I’m a little confused, what was the ban for?

Welcome Midwest social members to other instances, when they come. They were always very welcoming to me and I am grieved that this is happening.

Is AI still racist?

It was my point.

Imagination is letting the mind play.

Obviously. I’m saying imagining the wildest things has led to important contributions, irl and fiction. Telephone conversations with video, self-driving cars, space exploration all began as crazy dreams. They called Einstein crazy, ostracized some of the greatest writers and scientists and engineers. Close Encounters, Star Wars. Hand washing in medical care got doctors fired.

Play is important, for more than recreation.

Probably that they dared engage some imagination.

Ever heard of Doug Adams, Robert Heinlein, Bradbury, Huxley? But by all means, discourage any use of imagination just for fun.

The point is, people have been discouraging use of wild and vivid imagination, so we get the same old same old until someone has courage to daydream, thought experiment, etc

Schrödinger mocked quantum theory, we got the slit experiment, no one thought Tesla’s ideas were good, until suddenly they did and then there was God not playing dice and spooky stuff, the Drake equation and SETI. It’s a great idea that may lead to investigation of things we don’t understand.

Actually what I see is a very loud group of users abusing people of very nasty things they themselves do. It’s clearly abuse, clearly gaslighting, and appears to be some unholy amalgamation of Dark Triad personality disorders. if instance users need more mods, more need to come forward and their post history thoughtfully vetted.

The only thing I’ve seen toxic so far is how he’s been treated. I’ll tell you something though, I see his abusers being very personality disordered, and it couldn’t hurt to self reflect. The loudest voices aren’t correct, just loud and very badly behaved.

Thank you. Hurt people hurt people. And the wheel of samsara keeps turning. It is hard, but let us focus on giving ourselves, each other, and in due time, those who traumatize us the love we seek. We can do this. We will stumble. We will fall. We will get up and try again, and again and again. Bullying is ugly. Click on his user name and block him. It’s sick and sad if mods are allowing this, rather than not noticing. You can complain, if you think it will matter. Just be prepared if may not.

Since instances are federated, posts show up across instances that federate with yours. Please try not to worry about it. All of us project, to greater or lesser degrees.

I think it’s kind of like an email, weather or text app syncing across devices, only here communities. Please don’t be sorry for the question. Come to Kbin.earth
