I mean, being strictly pedantic, the sperm has to come from somewhere. So I guess it depends on whether you consider an orgasm in a strange room with a small rack of nudie mags to be "sexual gratification".

Nostalgia hit, right in the gut!

Right!? What kind of email correspondence is this person engaged in that takes them 4 days to process and reply to?

I'd be interested to see their timeline for other forms of communication.

My nephew has a bunch of depictions of dinosaurs in his room.

The only logical conclusion is that dinosaurs have roamed the earth within the last 6 years.

I'm probably showing my age here, but not much in that banner really feels antique to me. Vintage memes for sure, but most of those are still in active circulation.

When this was posted a few weeks ago, it was also pointed out that your socioeconomic status and geographical location can probably also be predicted pretty well by voice, which also correlate with T2D risk factors.

It is a neat finding and all, but unless there is some underlying physiological tie between T2D and your voice that's not explainable otherwise, it's kind of the diagnostic equivalent of "psychic" cold reading.

Ironically, Millennial Yodel is a pretty dope band name.

Actually, no it's not... Maybe an album name though.

I mean, the article specifically states that, as high-budget games, Doom 2016/Eternal don't really fit into the category:

While they aren’t necessarily boomer shooters due to their higher production values, faster-paced first-person shooters like Titanfall 2, Doom Eternal, and Halo Infinite are earning more goodwill than the latest Call of Duty and Battlefield games, proving that a faster-paced and more fantastical FPS still appeals to mainstream audiences.

I was just responding to your question of what was the difference between blocking an instance and a community.

The community-sourced labeling is an interesting idea, which I hadn't really considered. Not sure it fully solves the concern of bad faith actors looking to JAQ-off and otherwise poison discussions but it's a step in the right direction.

Believe me I do understand why it could be considered problematic. My disagreement stems from the idea that it's better to have no policy rather than an imperfect policy or one that relies on some discretion.

My point in highlighting that disinformation centers around a few hot button issues is to reinforce that we're not talking about some nebulous or opinion-driven debate; rather there are a few key disinformation strategies that take advantage of the "bullshit asymmetry" to poison real discussion. They are easily identified because they are well documented and reported on.

I'm simply unconvinced by arguments that it's too hard to identify and nip such malicious communities in the bud. Even less so by arguments that doing so is somehow a slippery slope.

I'm also not advocating for killing trolls that bother me... so take care not to belabor a quick metaphor.

The vast majority of disinformation comes in a few key topics related to current hot button political issues and is generally pushed by recognizable sources. It's not unreasonable to expect admins to check into user reports of disinformation and organized trolling against known sources. I'm not an admin so I'm not going to write up the specific criteria right here and now.

Choosing not to do so is also a conscious choice to host such content.

One of the allllll time classics!
