I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.
I have been playing acoustic guitar since childhood. I like when I listen to a piece that marvels me, then I work on it a few minutes every day for months, and eventually I start to render part of it good enough that I can find the same pleasure as listening but from the other side. One of my current study subject is Prelude n⁰1 by Heitor Villa-Lobos. https://youtu.be/Pmry5uquwDI
Jlailu is quite anti-tankie, we had some problems with them before, to the point of considering alternatives to Lemmy due to the ideology of the creators. As the average of Lemmy, it’s also no very tolerant with conservative ideas, but I have no idea what happened to this user in particular.
Sometimes it’s a tactic to discourage escalation because it adds confusion.
I believe Lemmy is quite smaller than Mastodon (hence it is not even mentioned on the diagram), so it’s probably a Mastodon instance.
Which server is representing 25% of the index on the Fediverse?
As a Guild Wars 1 player, I was very excited and really followed the hype for GW2. Only to be disappointed to how different it was from the one. Can’t blame them for innovating, but it was not the continuation of what me and my friends wanted. The shift to being more of an actual MMO made me feel completely insignificant in PvE, using just the basic automatic attack or doing my best to combine my skills didn’t make a difference, the mob would kill the monster anyways. In GW1, all of PvE is instantiated just for your small group, so in general, everyone’s action is important. The PvP felt very generic and didn’t have the uniqueness of the 8v8 of the 1 anymore. I really appreciated the constant gameplay innovation from Mike O’Brien (Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, Guild Wars) and the art direction of Kekai Kotaki, but it was just too different of a game.
Option one of course, put some fabric in between and fly away. 🦇
You should be able to prevent your device from adding the location to your photos. I never felt the need to have it, given the date and the photos around, it is easy to remember where it was.
I think he said that’s Tor.
I use my indignation as fuel to do good around me. The more I read sad news the more I want to contribute to positive projects.
Not an historian, but to give some ideas, the Enlightenment thinkers were “progressive” nobles and bourgeois who succeeded without noble’s privileged and obviously could explain why the system is unfair. It’s tempting to have the romantic image of the little people rising by themselves, but it is not illiterate farmers that could have wrote about the philosophy of governance.
Voltaire had a lawyer father (bourgeois) and a low rank nobility mother.
Rousseau was born in the Republic of Genova (oligarchy with elections) of watchmaking family (bourgeois).
Beaumarchais was also the son of a renowned watchmaker (bourgeois).
Diderot was the son of a knife maker renowned for surgery blades (bourgeois).
D’Alembert was an abandoned child but taken care of by a knight (~noble privileges).
Montesquieu was from high nobility with administrative responsibilities (noble).
Lafayette was from military nobility (noble).
Another important point is that the early thinking was to promote an enlightened monarch, highly educated and aware of the issues of his people, so he could be a perfect leader for the people with some limitations and power balance. Some monarchists today still promote this kind of ideal. There was probably not too much problem to talk about better education in those salons and sharing more power with the other educated people.
Thinking about ending the monarchy came later and the beheading of the king was kind of an interplay of circumstances that was not planned by the early Revolution leaders.
I don’t understand why an MD would want any association with the pseudoscience that osteopathy is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteopathy
Marketing I guess?
Being proud of your independence and difference is bad advice? What’s your world like then, submitting and following others?
Did you try to teach him to be proud of his independence and differences? Maybe you can work with him on nice come backs against the teasing.
Yes, the fuck.
As long as journalism quality is respected that’s not an issue.
On MMOs, trying not to sound like a kid, even though I was a kid, so I could join groups of cool people and guilds. Learned a lot of American lingo on Reddit.
