Agnostic atheist.

I’ve already blocked Lemmy world and I’m OOTL what happened now?

What kind of diversity of thought are you looking for?

Could you give an example?

Is there an intellectually honest point of view that Donald Trump isn’t a fascist?

Not sure I agree as it seems like black and white thinking.

I.e. I could imagine a scenario where someone is very obviously/admits to using neopronouns disingenuously and that would break my social contract with them to honour it.

If I make an assessment of neopronoun usage on a case by case basis I can still avoid witch hunts. It’s similar to how I determine in real life if someone is an asshole or not.

Another way; I can support a person who I genuinely believe uses neopronouns while denouncing and excluding someone who doesn’t.

My preference is for completely community moderated platform.

People essentially vote for content moderation. Likely susceptible to gamification but I’m still interested in seeing it in practice.

Is it still invalidating when someone using neopronouns is doing so disingenuously?

Mods will always be a problem.

I’ve yet to encounter a well adjusted human who voluntarily mods.

Conservatives can quite frankly go somewhere else.

Their policies are terrible and the only redeeming qualities of most countries we live in are socialist.

Lemmy should reflect the actual political spectrum which is (IMO) Social Democrats on the far right and Tankies on the far left.

Fair warning, I’m not here to judge but take it from someone who spent a lot of time trying to consume the most outrageous internet content to desensitise themselves - it all catches up eventually.

Anyway, this is some of the stuff that comes to mind:

Botfly extractions

Teenage girl suicide (hanging in a tree - too young to die IMO)

Microwaving kittens

Toybox killer transcript and tapes (I don’t like torturing people who don’t deserve it)

People having sex with aborted foetuses

It’s annoying me because that commenter is using a diminutive to try and anthropomorphise a robot.

You can anthropomorphise it but at least have a basic understanding of the dimensions of the thing you’re trying to make cute.

Curiosity isn’t a little robot.

It’s the size of a small car…

I really have begun to believe that politicians should employ historians to give advice on certain political events by drawing comparisons to previous situations.

I literally talk and gave a link about B12 fortified foods in the comment you replied to.

If you’re vegan and you don’t supplement with B12 or eat food specifically fortified with B12, I don’t think you’re being optimally healthy.

You don’t have to believe me though, just read what the vegan society has to say on this.

If you’re suggesting you can get enough b12 purely through a diet without animal products, supplements or fortified food you’ve misunderstood nutritional science.

What I’m railing against is this; vegans say that omnivores eat meat only for taste pleasure and that’s a straw man argument.

No one just eats meat for taste because there is also a nutritional component. In the same way vegans have to supplement with B12 to be healthy so they recognise that things must be eaten beyond just taste pleasure.

The whole taste argument completely ignores nutrition.

Why don’t you only eat potatoes? Do you derive taste pleasure from B12 supplements?

Attaching a system of morality to a diet is just religion.

I maintain that veganism is just halal/kosher for atheists/agnostics.

Twitter was always shit.

Like all social media.
