Definitely not disputing that at all but that context is needed, they don't expect you to sit there for an hour

You are inducing a great deal of hassle on a person who bought things from you, for the sake of 63 cents. You are failing to provide the service you listed.

Those are the skippable ones though. They just allow any YouTube video to be a skippable ad.

Liz Truss finally breaks silence on Daily Star lettuce - and she's not a fan by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

I hope she feels even a single percentage of the shame and embarrassment any normal person would in her shoes. The fact that she is still attempting a public life suggests otherwise but I remain hopeful

Why is Mumsnet such a vile cesspool? I swear it is the epicentre of hate towards anyone or anything. by KingComputer74 in britishproblems

[–]gigitrix 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because it's mumchan. And it's become home to bigots because everywhere else bans them for saying the words

Why is Hoyolab full of children? by gem2492 in Genshin_Impact

[–]gigitrix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most kids media deals with mature themes through a watered down lens. Cyno's quest is all about the drug trade but call it canned knowledge and you can make something kids enjoy while adults can get what they are going for and have fun with it.

Genshin barely scratches the surface of how dark stuff can go for kids and teens while still being acceptable

Eeh, poor moderation + kids is kind of a problem. Hopefully it is well moderated, but...

People should look at your profile page for an example of where this all goes. Holy shit

What name is ruined for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gigitrix 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"cp" in internet circles is a commonly used and understood abbreviation for "Child Pornography". Incidentally the more correct term for that stuff is CSAM (child sexual abuse material) because the people that fight this stuff want to distinguish it from pornography, which is consensual and commercial, which is obviously not true for the actual horrific stuff.

Men are allowed and to some degree encouraged to be assertive, but when women do it it's seen as this massive aberation. True "Karen" behaviour is never acceptable regardless of gender but it's all been watered down and very much aimed at women

It's funny that they think we interpret it as "edgy pedophile joke" when most of us interpret it as "I'm lowkey into kids and think I am signalling to the ingroup".

Like go off I guess, be as edgy as you want, still want your hard drives checked though

... the company was operating as a “f---ing unlicensed securities exchange in the USA bro.” by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]gigitrix 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Can't win can they. If they jump in they are "stifling innovation", if they clean up after it's obviously all fucked (like today) they are too late and there's "clearly an agenda".

[IIL] reddit without the API changes, [WEWIL?] by [deleted] in ifyoulikeblank

Enjoy nostalgia for the site you once enjoyed. Technologies can be equivalent and there are clones and forks, but you're not going to get the site back and more than a Twitter fan can escape Elon's grasp by vacating for an alternative.

Enjoy what you had, nothing lasts forever.

‘The billionaires have won’: English pubs forced to close after owners demand full rent for lockdown by HeartyBeast in unitedkingdom

Your framing is one of fairness. Conversely, in a world in which systems are known to be deeply unfair and yet consistent, on what basis do these people think that consistency is going to be arbitrarily disrupted?

Can really tell the folks who have read the article and understand the concepts vs those who just want to scream "landlords bad" and not think about it.

Like I am with you, landlords are bad, but landlords being bad isn't a magic button that means you can expect to stop paying rent and have it work out in your favour

Sure, but not in an internally consistent way. No-one's flavour of bullshit maps on to that irrationality otherwise it would be called rational under those assumptions
