I’d expand it to arguing with people who don’t want to challenge their postures. It’s the human condition that we substitute thinking with emotion by default, and it takes significant cognitive effort to mitigate that.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is there a formalized ban appeal process for the fediverse? Do I just direct message a mod?English
33·14 hours agoLet’s say it’s a double-edged sword. It brings freedom, but encourages insulation and intolerance.

1319·17 hours agoThis is a disadvantage of the Fediverse: the owner of the instance dictates the rules, and the moderators are as prone to power trips as they are on Reddit.
Be glad you were banned from blahaj, it’s in the top instances of intolerance to group think defiance. If you manage to get unbanned, you’ll be always at risk of another impulsive ban.
Real life is hard enough to add gratuitous drama to it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How hard would it be to trap gated communities by crashing dozens of cars into the front of their gates blocking them from leaving their gated communities ?

But real answer? Those cars would be removed promptly, unless people are ready to fight the police, the civil guard, or the army… or have a good reason to think one of those would support them.
IIRC he was a talk show host, and I’ve always thought he was so flamboyant as a parody of how talk show hosts prioritize the show rather than the talk.
I think he is a brilliantly designed parody character, but some people have taken him too seriously.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are platforms like reddit just "internet noise" and bots or just genuinely the darkest parts of humanity?
11·2 days agoReddit has become a profit-driven cesspool, even more that it was before their IPO and the LLM craze.
It is still home to great communities, so don’t drink from the firehouse, google Reddit+interest and only visit those communities. Subscribe if they match what you need. Ignore the main feed, it’s a perennial garbage dump.

47·2 days agoJesus Christ don’t put words in my mouth! See what I wrote, I never said it was the main reason they transitioned. I don’t even get how would you relate my comment to bathroom pervs.
Any arguments related to sports performance, which was my main point?

22·2 days agoBoth uncontrolled inflation and deflation are undesirable, I get that. My question was: why progressive inflation is deemed beneficial, while progressive deflation is deemed as the spawn of Satan?

So, it seems like I wouldn’t be able to change your mind because you’ve already made your position firm? Isn’t it neat that it’s happening in this thread?
