You do understand that it’s possible to oppose genocide on principle wherever it happens and to still be able think it’s alarming when it escalates further, right?

Yeah true

Yeah it was literally made by a kid in a shed

C’mon cobber, where’s my Owen gun?

Whatever that means, it sounds based (I’ve been meaning to play Stellaris for ages but haven’t really gotten around to it since the one game I played back in like 2018 when I bought it)

Death. Kill 'em all. Butlerian jihad now. Anybody trying to give machines even the illusion of thought is a traitor to humanity. I know this might sound hyperbolic; it’s not. I am not joking rn. I mean it.

Oi oi matey, u got a loicence for that telly streamin’ service?

Ew 🤢

I don’t suppose it matters. What’s more concerning is that you’re probably unwashed and covered in smegma.

You’re reading the post backwards.

You are a dickhead.

Did you know?

Phones can have a headphone jack and still have Bluetooth for the people who don’t want to use it!

According to the mod team, this post is from all of them. Nevertheless, Rmbp is in this reply section disputing this, saying that he didn’t write a word of it.

Dunno about you, but it looks to me like a small number of mods have a habit of calling all the shots and then sharing the blame when it backfires.

Really? All of them? Personally, I’d be happy enough taking no more than two heads for this. Whatever the case, I think the main priority should be adding new mods whose attitudes are more in line with the comm.

Anyway, I’m sure there’s stuff that’s happened in private that I’m unaware of, but it seems like qaz has been pretty level-headed about the whole thing, Rmbp, despite approving of the move and thus being generally out of touch with the community claims (believably, IMO) to have had no knowledge of, let alone input over the process prior to the call being made, greembow hasn’t posted anything in a year, and Peachy has wisely kept pretty quiet about it, with a grand total of two (one if we’re not counting duplicates) pretty neutral comments in threads about the mod team’s decision.

Yes, all this and the fact that the move was months in the making but had almost zero* communication with the broader community really just paints a picture of a thoroughly dysfunctional mod team acting in a bubble, but from what little I understand I’d argue this particular fiasco was done mostly on the initiative of the “head honcho of 196” and A_Very_Big_Fan, who made the announcements and were the ones to double down on it in the face of community pushback.

* a month or so ago when PJ really got his knickers in a twist about not being allowed to misgender neopronoun users by LBZ’s site rules one of the mods mentioned they were considering a move to dotworld and got pushback then too

I believe in FFF threesome supremacy

Oh that’s an easy one. It’s because the state serves the interests of capital.

I’M SORRY, COULD YOU PLEASE SPEAK UP A BIT??? I CAN’T HEAR YOU THERE!!!
