Formerly @DudePluto - migrated to help with server load.

Migrating soon to @DudePluto due to disagreements with lemmy.world’s implementation of Rule 1.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

DudePluto OP ,

Maybe you shouldn’t even have had your account on the largest server to begin with?

Some of us made our accounts on lemmy.world within a week(?) of its creation when it was tiny (June 5 for me). Doesn’t stop it from belonging on mildly infuriating

DudePluto OP ,

lemmy.world rule 1:

No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material

c/[email protected] rule 3:

Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles

So c/[email protected] doesn’t even break that rule. It’s for discussion. Unless you take a very broad reading of not allowing the sharing of resources that could be used to pirate copyrighted material, but that’s not an issue anywhere else

DudePluto OP ,

If you try to access one of the blocked communities from lemmy.world you’ll see it’s blocked, dude

DudePluto ,

It all depends on context, imo. People should generally leave other people’s private property alone. But if it’s an ugly cinderblock wall downtown, some kind of drab piece of infrastructure, and the graffiti artist is actually making an effort to make it look good - it can be public art

DudePluto ,

If you’re going to break it down that far, why stop? Your “self” is not your central nervous system, but a portion of it - and not a very large one. It’s your consciousness. Most of what your nervous system does is not conscious.

Your self (and mine) are but a small portion of a single organ in a large network of organs and tissues and cells and bacteria. We developed because it was advantageous for our bodies - which predate our consciousness - to have pilots. We are periphery. We are a single part of an ecosystem. And definitely not the center of it

DudePluto ,

Ew

DudePluto ,

How is this fire related to climate change? Genuine question because I don’t understand the connection

DudePluto ,

Thank you for the detailed explanation!

DudePluto ,

I have a huge problem with the Americans and Brits for this, they marginalise the fuck out if our dialect, make fun of it for being unitelligible

I mean I know you’re talking about the wider world and not just this thread, but you started the conversation by being disingenuous about Americans and their dialects. It’s kind of hard for people to take “I have a legitimate dialect” seriously when you just got done trashing half a continent’s worth of dialects

Maybe if we all broach the topic with a little more understanding, you and everyone will feel better about it. For example Appalachian English and Northern Ireland English are both dialects with their own rules of pronunciation and grammar. They’re both legitimate. But it’s not surprising they’d have trouble understanding each other because they have so little interaction. But with patience and mutual respect it can happen

DudePluto ,

It’s hilarious that you’re downvoted because asking them to move has never failed in my experience. Given I’m in the Midwest and there’s the whole “Midwestern sensibility” stereotype, but I don’t think anyone here is different from anywhere else.

Most people who do this either don’t think about the fact they’re blocking the whole aisle or they don’t realize you want through. A simple excuse me will let them know

DudePluto ,

Yes to making housing more affordable but also, for your consideration: have more orgies. You’ll feel a lot closer to your fellow community members

DudePluto ,

Usually a polite ‘excuse me’ does the trick but some people actively pick a fight upon hearing that phrase.

Win-win situation. Either they step aside and apologize (only ever had this one happen), or they get rude and I get to unload all my pent up rage on some unsuspecting civilian without feeling bad about it. Like free therapy

DudePluto ,

Seriously what the hell is going on in this thread. Think everyone should take a deep breath and realize that we all make mistakes and inconvenience each other sometimes, but most of us will also correct our mistake if it’s brought to our attention

DudePluto ,

It was a joke dude

DudePluto ,

Yeah talk about a depressing thought

DudePluto ,

At least lemmy has lots of mirrored communities so if one starts to suck you can go to a smaller one with the same topic

DudePluto ,

Change your sort options. Your lemmy experience will change drastically depending on whether you’re sorting by hot, active, top, etc.

DudePluto ,

I could tolerate almost every redditism if it weren’t for the belittling, argumentative, and self-righteous tones that permeated every front page discussion

DudePluto OP ,

No doubt there were plenty of gay men back then but were they widely accepted?

DudePluto OP ,

Absolutely agree, got a big crush on Cap so I like to imagine he’s too tuned into the purest version of the 🇺🇸American spirit🇺🇸 to hate. But it is funny to suspend that and think about what if he was just a grumpy old man

DudePluto OP ,

hell yeah

DudePluto ,

Also memes: !comedyheaven

Turns out all we may need to stop climate change is 139 billion gallons of super-duper white paint (www.businessinsider.com)

Turns out all we may need to stop climate change is 139 billion gallons of super-duper white paint::According to one professor, we may be able to stop climate change if we used a new super white paint to cover the entire United States

DudePluto ,

Then we just need to put ice cubes in the ocean. Plus that would help us cool the earth down

DudePluto ,

But everyone was so much thinner back then. The average person was so much hotter.

Because they inherited an economy with actual food and replaced it with “food” filled with industrial inventions like corn syrup

DudePluto ,

What’s also fun is the few times I’ve been back to reddit to look at something. Each time I ended up seeing people in the comments with just terrible attitudes. And I thought to myself, “I’m weirdly glad reddit is still around because it gives people like you a place to congregate that I can avoid.”

DudePluto ,

Thought about rooting my s10e. Providing someone knows how to follow directions, what are the chances of bricking my phone?

DudePluto ,

Oh boy, Cpt. Kirk’s eye shadow? Just have to tell ourselves that male beauty standards changed over the centuries lol

DudePluto ,

I’m surprised no one has mentioned a specific filter or trick for just emulating this on modern screens. Surely one exists?

DudePluto ,

Economic liberalism is the economic theory of both American parties. Idk how it came to be applied to only the democratic party but that’s incorrect. OP is presumably critiquing economic liberalism from a leftist perspective, of which the Democrats are not

DudePluto ,

I feel like people would drink themselves to death more, or at least pass out. Been a few times years ago that sleep was my reason to stop drinking

DudePluto ,

Well just design the robots so that work feels like sex to them

DudePluto ,

witty commentary on current issues

Am I the only one who doesn’t enjoy the twitter-takes? Don’t get me wrong, I actually agree with most of the takes. It’s just that it all feels like they’re trying to one-up each other with the cleverest gotcha and it makes me roll my eyes. Maybe I’m just not the target audience for a twitter/mastodon style community

DudePluto ,

I’d just log off lol

DudePluto ,

How about you use the most basic social etiquette available and be at least not a total asshole.

And how about I take this chance to remind everyone that we can all block the users we don’t want to interact with. And that maintaining a block list is a great way to ensure a decent online experience

DudePluto ,

In agreement with your broader point but a different approach: to say that we should die out as a species due to climate change is over-simplifying, imo. Yes, there are hardships ahead and we truly need to look at ourselves as a species and ask what needs to change for the sake of ethics and others. However, we have been in dire situations before, albeit with less foreknowledge. Would someone living in, say, 1840 have wished that humanity had died out in the bronze age collapse, when the near-entirety of known civilization collapsed due to climate change?

When considering the entire species we can’t take such a short term view. Yes, hard times are ahead. Yes, we will get through it. I say if one is inclined not to have kids, he should not have kids. But if one is inclined to do so, he should do so

DudePluto ,

Using Connect too, surprised I don’t hear more about it. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty solid

Reminder: Reddit is gone. Your community *is* official. If you're a mod, you're just as good as a reddit mod.

I keep seeing communities on lemmy writing in their bio “not official” or in some way deferring to the reddit community. I also see them writing that they’re willing to give up their community to the reddit mods if they ask. It’s like the whole place has imposter syndrome....

DudePluto OP ,

I would imagine it working just like on reddit and lemmy, where it can originally be claimed by the original poster or anyone who wants it. It’s obviously not an ideal solution, but it’s worked well enough historically. Maybe someone else would have a better idea

DudePluto OP ,

Were you able to get through? I think I fixed it by including @lemmy.ml at the end of the link
