It’s like turning off your radio so you can read the map better.

Gotta go big screen for big purchases.

That’s how I feel about Neuromancer and most other cyberpunk books.

I love the addition of Snow Crash. I never see SF books in free libraries.

Edit: And Charles De Lint! You never see him these days. Kick ass free library, OP

check the title, smarty pants

“Be wary of spiteful Reddit users” is not instructions for calling people names.

OP added an adjective to describe a specific class of Reddit users. The body of the OP made it clear it doesn’t apply to all users and therefore isn’t a title.

Can you please quote where in the body or the title the OP placed instructions for calling people names?

your entire post is instructions for calling people names, you drama queen… with all the yearning and what not…

Could you please quote where the OP had these instructions?

Talk about unexpected privileges. Thanks for your answer.

Thank you!

Thank you. That sounds highly annoying.

I’m from lemmy.world. What is this bot you’re talking about? I haven’t had the misfortune of running into it. What makes it spam?

Edit: Thanks everyone for your helpful answers! Based on the responses below, I believe you should definitely defederate.

Someone has been downvoting me every time I get a response from you on each comment.

That’s interesting. That’s not what I can see on my end, but then again Memmy has been pretty glitchy the last few days.

Are you seeing my point now?

Have you seen anyone downvoting you? Even when you’re acting like a stubborn fool, your karma for this conversation hasn’t been negatively impacted.

Grizzly, Black, Polar, or Panda? What bear goes best in a shrimp boil?

Sun bear, obviously.

I feel like you are being a dick about this.

Funny, I could say the same about you.

Because we aren’t people, we’re weird little goblins with delusions of grandeur

Alright, fair enough. That does sound like the British.

That Walter Mitty scene made me laugh. It was filmed in Seyðisfjörður, which is around 700 km away from Eyjafjallajökull. They had even changed the map shown in the movie, so it was unrecognizable for an Icelander! 😂

I had no idea. That’s hilarious.

This is the third eruption that’s occured on the peninsula in three years and it’s largely died down so I wouldn’t call it “exciting”

It’s pretty though.

Volcanic eruptions are always exciting.

I really don’t think you do, you are being incredibly closed minded and sticking your head in the sand. Because it has no* effect on you (yet).

That is a bold assumption to make. I’ve absolutely been affected by it on Reddit, and I’ve been banned from subreddits from saying the “wrong” things. Hell, I’m a lesbian who was banned from r/ActualLesbians because I said lesbians are attracted to women and not non-men.

I’m not sticking my head in the sand.

If you have controversial opinions just post them on controversial subs as well. A large part of “the right things” depends on the “right community”

That is entirely correct.

For ages = for one week in the Central Europe. I had a trip booked for roughly exactly the duration of the eruption back then.

It was shut down entirely for a week initially, and then would be shut down again periodically as the ash/debris cloud floated along through air lanes.

Also that totally sucks.

But not ‘being a dick’ is far too subjective in a global village… The world does not beat to one drum.

While I hear what you’re saying, it’s really not as complicated as you’re making it out to be.
