Any animal that flees from being eaten probably feels pain. This is not the high bar you vegans think it is. Just accept that we are the top of the food chain already.

Well, she works with my wood ifyaknowwhati’msayn’

I joined 2 months ago. It’s fine.

just trying to help people cross check. I get the vibe though. If someone could mirror it, that would be useful.

Just adding context. I am on the list, but I don’t use PieFed? so like, ok?

what this looks like is a PieFed shadowban. I find this funny as I’m not even using PieFed. I was shopping around for an android mobile app, but I guess that one is off the table now, eh?

you can ctrl+f and type in your username to see if you qualify.

It’s almost like an exclusive club. We should get a little icon to place next to our usernames to commemorate this. “Verified Quality Shitposter” or something like that to make fun of this BS.

Found myself. What’s this all about then?

OOOOHHHHH, so this is about Leftist cred. I see. ;) I guess this proves I’m not a misogynist, like the Admins on 196 seem to think.

Hunter Biden. Guy fucked up A LOT and owned up to it. People love that. It shows that he’s real. He’s had life experience, and not all of it gleaming. Platner was the same way (as far as we knew at the time). Angels are like unicorns in this day and age, sir, especially when a large percentage of the young male population had some hand in the war on terror. It did last 20 YEARS after all. Are we to disenfranchise ALL of them just because they had commanding officers that put them in places and told them to do things that were unsavory? Are we to condemn out right the follies of misplaced patriotism shown by impressionable boys in perpetuity, even as they evolve into men? This was the question Mainers had to ask themselves. There’s an old saying about appearances and paying dues: People are alot like pencils. It’s easy to look sharp when you haven’t done any work. THAT was the narrative Platner was purporting. Did we get had? Yes, and we’ll have to live with that, but at least we are learning from the error, which is more than we can say about Trump supporters. My point was to not lump us in with them. We are NOT the same.

my niche was the Minecraft subreddits, and that is sadly like 80% of the community right there. There’s a Instance here, but it’s like moving from NYC to East Bumfuck Long Island. (and don’t even get me started on the Hermitcraft Subreddit)

Depends on the quality of the content I suppose. I wouldn’t put it past them to try and make that argument.

A good chunk of us are here because of Reddit crashouts, and this was the most similar platform. I want my account back, but purely on principle at this point.

A fly in the logical argument is that with increases in available nutrition vis-a-vis caloric density of available food, it’s skewing the onset of puberty toward younger children. 18 used to be the cutoff because that’s when puberty was most likely to start, on average. It was never really about emotional maturity, at least until recently (AND A GOOD CHANGE IT WAS!). Puberty is a body mass coded trigger, not so much an age related one. I think I heard of one medical case where a girl who was only 8 years old had begun puberty because she had gained so much weight by that point. An outlier, for sure, but the point still stands. I’d say these sickos need to learn some basic self regulation, but then again we are talking about group of people who have outsourced their morality to an imaginary metaphysical “presence” in the sky. Personal accountability was never really a strong compass in their lives, clearly.

I can sort of see the logic at play here. It’s shaky, mind, and full of holes, but he almost had a coherent thought.

It’s False Equivalency, I’m fully aware, so I get that he’s wrong, just that I can understand why he might think that.

what would be telling is if u/SPEZ gets ousted and most of us get unbanned when they purge out the AI mods.

Yeah, I know, “wishful thinking…”

To be able to shitpost like good ol’ days… sigh

excellent travel advice. (just don’t tell him the trip will be short and alarmingly vertical)

you know, I hear the views are AMAZING in Moscow this time of year. Be sure to get a look out of a window every chance you get!

Krammer: “hey whatchu guys talkin about”

George: “Some guy offered me some pills”

Krammer, suspiciously interested: “What, like some drugs? That’s a bad scene George!”

Jerry: “Not to worry Krammer, George turned him down.”

George: “No water. Can’t take pills with no water!”

Krammer: “Kind of weak reason to turn down pills, but good on you! I made that mistake once- (dramatically) NEVER AGAIN.”

Jerry: “Why am I not surprised?”

Krammer: “Guy claimed he was some new age Indian Yogi, had the robes, whole bit! I was out for three days, and when I came too, I was on a fishing boat 30 miles off of Nantucket!”

George: “You never told us you were a longshoreman.”

Krammer: “I wasn’t. They pulled me in with the catch. Apparently I thought I was a tuna!”

[edit] (Mixed up who was being offered the pills, doesn’t change the scene though.)
