Someone posted a follow up elsewhere. He did in fact mean it that way.

It's a bad faith argument and a strawman. They don't actually think it's reasonable for anyone to do that or think the other person is suggesting that. They are setting a person up as a hypocrite despite that obviously being an insufficient and inefficient solution to the housing crisis.

I'm in a doctor's office and trying so hard not to disturb everyone around me and it's not going well.

There is something to be said about abandoning the generational lines though. Pew Research is doing it

As I understand it, only baby boomers are somewhat unified on things and every generation after that drifted more and more into being less distinct, demographically speaking, as a group. The cadence you reference was unified by the end of WWII and, naturally, diffused from there.

My grandmother was the county coroner for a while. She was a pharmacist professionally. In those places, it's more "give it a quick kick and say they're dead" (she never did that) more than anything else. She only declared death, not attribute cause to my knowledge.

The other part of it is that, for whatever reason, in my county the only higher arresting authority than the sheriff was the coroner. It was her job to serve him with papers when he was being sued and, not that it ever came up, arrest him when it needed done.

Weird system.

Yes, holding a person accountable for their crimes (maybe, jury is still out) is attacking them...

Unless you're talking media coverage. Cause we all know that the media is an arm of the government...

Bullshit. Source or it didn't happen.

Sadly if you train your AI on racist data, you get a racist robot. So that's not a given.

It's a capybara. They look like that at all times, including when a pelican is ineffectively attempting to eat one. I'm sad I don't have that gif saved.

My money is on zero. They'll comment it out and then turn it back on when no one is looking.

So I stopped generally using Reddit after the whole API thing but my husband still does and we talk about stuff since Lemmy gets the job done.

One thing he likes is to hop on r/freecompliments and participate there.

Well, today he got permanently banned. Why? Because a bot dredged his profile and found that he sometimes participates in porn subreddits. Usually to complement people there, never posting himself. He's pretty ace, so it's rarely, if ever, sexual. But that was enough for the bot to ban him.

They sent a message about how they are sfw subreddit and don't allow users to participate in NSFW subreddits.

He's heartbroken about it. He really likes to be nice to people and it makes his day when they respond to him. Now he can't do that in a sub that's meant for it.

I feel like the site rules have opinions about banning like this, but it's not like the admins give a fuck. So fuck those mods and their puritanical bullshit making at least once persons day worse, for the low cost of a user that was participating in good faith.

And since I'm on a roll, fuck spez

I tried posting this to trueoffmychest to dredge some sympathy for him, since that seemed appropriate and he was good with it, but they don't allow 'anger' or 'impersonal' posts and that got quietly removed immediately. So fuck them too. I didn't realize how far down the shitter reddit has gone.
