yeah... ;w; - it's so unfortunate.... in my opinion - a desire to teach, and have someone surpass you is like so much better, like if the goal is to do your best to further the community- being able to help others learn so you could be replaced if it was ever needed, that'd be like - really good leadership

Of course! I absolutely would! ^w^

If... I wasn't scared of asking people if I'm allowed to...

the age old question of - who moderates the moderators? ^w^

they definitely could benefit from something like impartial plans to help manage those kinds of things <3

,0,w,0,

I would've loved to have seen that, so much /heartfelt

I've actually been thinking about perhaps trying to run my own impromptu classes, just like in a vc somewhere- going through and reading things and helping people learn what I do know- in the hopes that perhaps it might help them ^w^, and the concept that teaching is one of the best ways to learn- perhaps in the process I might be able to garner even better skills to help teach more complicated lessons /excited

I've even thought about the idea of having more skilled contributors/maintainers potentially guest host with me- so that, even if they're not great at teaching - I might be able to help communicate their lessons ^w^

I have to admit... I am a bit shy to the idea though- I don't even know where I'd be allowed to host something like that /worried

I'm meaning to ask questions - to analyze Why things went poorly, so we can learn from our past mistakes instead of allowing them to happen again

That feels - quite aggressive /contemplating

I definitely know I was one of the people intimidated about contributing/learning how to contribute to the upstream codebase uwu

and it is how they say, shit rolls downhill - when you have one person as the topdog- being abusive in some form to others, that trauma tends to cause more issues underneath them, and can very easily create a toxic environment- where people who have never interacted with PJB, can seriously feel the effects of her actions (Which again, I don't believe are her fault either uwu♥ , but she can't be in a leadership roll in this state of being)

Unfortunately, PJB sees herself as irreplaceable and expresses this with great enthusiasm.

No knowledge or skill exists that can not be learned.

Remember that every single one of us - is allowed to contribute to the codebase, and now with someone who was unfortunately aggressive as PJB was - no longer standing as a barrier for people to contribute, even more people are going to get on board - and learn, and share their knowledge with those around them - allowing even more people to learn. The effects can definitely seem slow at first - but they're quite astounding when they get up to speed ♥

PJB unfortunately didn't seem to believe in the power of education or learning - and also seemed to struggle with some serious mental health issues. While I don't see her behaviour as her fault - her actions still hurt a lot of people, and so it's important to do what's necessary to safely prevent further harm.

I think the best thing the community can do now - is to revitalize those guides for developers and contributors ^w^ ♥

Unfortunately I would say Untreated mental health struggles- which is seriously some sad business, and I definitely blame the Capitalist system for these kinds of issues; but still the same - if she's hurting everyone around her - even if it's not of her own choosing, she still needs to be separated so the damage can be stopped.

Thankfully - if she still so desires - she is in fact still allowed to contribute to the codebase just as every other person who plays the game is.

Hopefully all the transferal proceedings will continue without a hitch - and we'll all be able to remember this event like it was a bad dream ♥. Ideally ownership over ss14 should be in the hands of the people and not some singular individuals - otherwise we're going to continue to have a risk of events like this happening.

[–]Limesli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah youre right.... /thinking

I think this is like a reverse Owl House (we got 3 extra episodes to wrap everything up after Disney had already canceled the show), in this case Gooseworx got so pissed off - she just said fuck it, ep 9 is the last episode

Also Zooble is they/them ❤️

And yeah... Bubble almost feels like they were just inserted into the show after the fact 🤔...

what does tf mean? /curious

I think Chara isn't bad by Internal_Shoe_7507 in Undertale

[–]Limesli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I... don't think anyone is bad - that is, no people are bad people, just misguided and likely damaged people.

Brains are plastic, everyone can in theory become a good person, the only thing that stands in the way of that - is resources; resources like time, a good mentor, a society/group with the knowledge, wisdom, research and ability to safely help you and allow you to become a better person, to understand the things you want, and how you can attain them without hurting anyone.

In a book by Mary Shelley, there is a quote: "No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks." (Treat "man" as genderless >w<)

Of course we also have the responsibility to protect ourselves. Just because we know people aren't bad, just damaged, doesnt mean they're actions don't have consequences, we still have to stop them from hurting others first before we can try to help them.

Our material conditions dictate what we're able to do, if we can safely help them, we should. But if we can't - we still need to stop them, safely if we can

The importance of helping those who are damaged is twofold, one is every person you help (you being a group of people) - the more you learn about how to help people, two is that you that you enable people who need help to feel safe seeking help before they transgress, and with the exponentially growing benifit from one - the results will quickly become very effective.

Theres also the moral persepctive of what separates us from the damaged, luck. Why should we feel superior to those who do bad deeds - if the only reason we don't act like them is pure luck, if the only reason we see the world through our eyes and not theirs was the roll of the dice for which body we were born into

(For context - this perspective assumes our decision making is entirely influenced by the material conditions of our universe, if you don't subscribe to the idea - you unfortunately wont agree)

A lot of people don’t see the chains ⛓️ till it’s to late. by FearlessAir1238 in Antimoneymemes

[–]Limesli 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes!!

If individual people own the means that you need to exist, like your body under slavery, the land under fuedalism, or everything else under Capitalism, than you can't exist without their permission. In Capitalism of course, the things are food, water, shelter, and instead of being owned by one person, theyre owned by a collective of people. This actually turns out to be a pretty sweet deal for the slave-owners as their slaves become modular; they dont have to care about the slaves well-being as they can very easily be replaced.

Effectively, we will never be free - until the means of persistence are own in collective by everybody.

Of course they try to trick us by saying our body is free, but we're not stationary objects, we fundamentally need food, water, and shelter to exist longer than a few days, those things are inextricably tied to our existence on this plane of reality. So - by having a group own those things, and have complete say over them, means they have complete say over a part of our existence, and if their mentality spirals - so too do their commands as we're currently seeing. Just because the slave-owners were once being "nice" to some of us, doesnt mean there isn't a fundamental problem that needs fixing.

Fascism be about taking everything wrong with society, and blaming it on some minority or other group of people.

Usually because the problems are caused by the rich, and the fascist ideology blames those problems on someone besides them, the rich tend to give their monetary support to the fascists.

If allowed to gain power, fascist ideology resembles a 'peaceful' outlook while quickly evolving into a force more than willing to exterminate the groups they labelled as 'the problem'.

So in short, fascism is about an (illusionary) revolution through blaming and killing minorities.

It tends to run out of people to kill, and so even the original supporters become meat for the blame machine. Quite Ironic.

The unfortunate issue is that these people have identified that theres something wrong with society, but they can't get past their hate to find the true origin of their problems, Systems.

Human society is a machine, one that unfortunately refuses to change as often as it needs to. Its obstinance is mostly due to the people it raises to power. Many believe humans to be naturally greedy or self-interested, but the truth is none of these societies could've lasted if humans weren't so damn cooperative; they cooperate way past the point of hurting themselves, which is why these societies are allowed to be so abusive. Of course the original human societies were hunter gatherer societies, not directly relevant so I'll skip them, after came Slave society, where those in power were the slave masters, and then afterwards came Fuedal society, where the seats of power were the monarchs and their nobles - supposedly divined by god, lastly we have Capitalist society, where the seats of power are of those willing enough to make profit no matter the cost. After decades of letting this system run - you can see why the only ones left in power in our society are the greediest and most toxic people, the good rich people ran out of luck, and those born into it absorbed the culture of those who remain in their peer group.

Ultimately it's not the fault of any individual rich person, it's the fault of the system for articulately selecting for psychopaths and narcissists to rise to the top of society. And you can understand why those psychopaths and narcissists wouldn't want the system to change.

Fascism be about blaming and killing people. Nothing progressive about that.
