@FiadhBaikal Let’s be honest here.
Just using your second sentence, period, would solve a large portion of all our issues in everything.
But we have people that refuse to, or do not know how to be receptive to, communication.
@FiadhBaikal 2/2 seriously interested; but not jail time unless extremes taken not “simply” dating.
If over 20 and doing it, I would be looking towards jail time though if you can’t wait.
My longer explanation “why” would require 6-8 post, but I just want “reasonable” consent, of free will.
@FiadhBaikal My stance comes from having to moderate a mostly 13-33 audience 15+ years ago.
If you’re underage and begin dating and one of you hits adult, this is fine. (I consider this 18)
If your a adult and chase below that, you need to be willing to wait for that person if your 1/2
@FiadhBaikal I don’t understand how people being that intimate *don’t* develop feelings.
I definitely see close intimacy different from a lot of people, though. I want that time/effort to be leading somewhere, or at least improving their lives somehow; so just “for fun” doesn’t work for me.
@FiadhBaikal@Itz_Nordak And note Fiadh’s not saying she wants it censored/removed; just that she doesn’t like it.
There’s a difference in disagreeing with someone’s vocabulary, and wanting to forcibly change it to “your” vision of how they should speak.
The latter is what lead to the mass use, now.
@KitsuraNines I feel like that’s friendship in general; not just the space you’re in.
True friendship that is going to last is pretty rare, and (going to be real) most people have poor insight on people’s character off the rip. Being cautious who you give your time too isn’t a unwise decision
@DarkDesertFox@chionerin Yep, I would say that’s most of streamers discords in general, if your not actually building it for the community (which actually takes a lot of work; often multiple people involved) it just won’t be very active or have much real purpose.
Just wanted to point out there *can* be
@DarkDesertFox@chionerin This depends on the streamers content.
A perfect example; Path of Exile’s community, a lot of streamer discords are extremely active 24/7. With build guides, adjustments to the creators builds, new player help, currency Strats, grouping for content.
It can be huge, depending.
@ClkWrkCuttlfish@Manhattva You, as a person, have to be open to being wrong for any sort of change like this. Many people actually did leave the left over this; they finally saw what was really happening. The problem is - and this is both sides to a extent - most people aren’t open to their views being bad
@TheRealKitty019@nameless8qo The left aren’t meeting the average IQ standard in the next two decades at least; which means we have to compensate for a lot of wasted population.
Some of them are waking up, but not enough. (Big part of why I got the f out myself a decade ago)
@Joeybb4@elonmusk Commend them for their growth; but hold them accountable for their actions. But only to a fair value.
We have bigger problems; actual evil that is using people and putting the blindfolds on. Those are what we need to spend our efforts and wrath on.
@FiadhBaikal It’s not so much about your past or deserving it, Fiadh. I’m almost 32, I haven’t even started dating, but I won’t be judging someone so much off their past, than who it has made them. A lot of people fall into traps for a time; that doesn’t make you a bad person.
@theospenguin@pathofexile The balance of the game was pretty miserable. Not as bad as a few leagues before, but it was a “miss” while they were still attempting to make PoE 1 into 2.
The league mechanic wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea either, but it wasn’t the main backlash.
@KitsuraNines Unfortunately near fifteen years ago I saw behind the curtain of a few groups/scenes, so yes; very much so.
There is “control” happening to people in every facet of life, entertainment is a large part of that, so of course people are using it as well.
@BananaJuju_ Here’s the weird thing; I am a full blown empath. The one thing our minds can’t escape? Following the logical path of an action to know what consequences will come of it. We know instantly the bad outcomes, and know we can’t take those paths.
This isn’t empathy; it’s evil.
@budleiser@DrBitcoinMD It’s happening here.
And it’s being covered up, censored, or data changed just the same. Get on any local apps for your location; kids are and have been increasingly going missing over the past few years.
It’s not a fun thing to be aware of.
@MysticGnosticX@OswaldsTopGuy Let’s be real for a moment; a lot of white men have been broken, many don’t know how to fill the void within them, so they simply follow the wrong people, with the wrong principles.
One questions it? Silenced, belittled, etc. they don’t have the energy or care to fight it.
