@yes these people will hollow out your civil rights and wear it as a skin suit… etc etc. ashamed of who they actually are, want they actually want, they have to turn already-existing terms into the opposite and hope no one notices
@WowMachineRadio fortunately even sympathetic #mods will get demoralized quickly, with their “I don’t get paid for this” attitude, paired with the fact that they know that nothing stops the banned poasters from starting their own #servers
Meanwhile, somewhere on the #fediverse, a #twitterrefugee is complaining about shitposters' posts to the shitposting admins with the same "its not enough for me to block them if other people still see it" attitude they brought with them from #twitter.
Leave it on the birdsite birdbrains.
@feld I hope they get the very best social worker possible.
@atheism if only somebody had written something about the insurmountable flaws of the human psyche
@atheism Yes, atheists are known for staring into the #sky with wonder and admiration. That’s why the first #astronomers who invented the lunisolar calendar were atheists #inspirational #einstein #everyoneclapped
@atheism the yin, and the yang
@atheism it is the duality of the Greater Man - the premise that if one invented birth and life, then, by necessity, he must have also invented death
@atheism oddly enough, Latin American communities were practicing ritual human sacrifice well into the sixteenth century, until they were conquered by European Christian civilization
@MtnStateNomad @lack knowledge puffeth up… charity edifieth
I suppose it's time for an #introduction! I'm Matt (he/him). I'm a postulant to the priesthood in the #Episcopal Church, currently pursuing my MDiv.
In past lives I've been a #MusicJournalist, professional #barista, and #IndieFolk #BassGuitarist. I've got a longstanding interest in #zen. I spent some time in tech, primarily in marketing and community management. I'm politically #progressive, #LGBTQ affirming (and bi), and kind of a wife guy. I was and am still active on #WAT and #WCT.

#Popper's rather nice "swamp" metaphor: "Science does not rest upon solid bedrock. The bold structure of its theories rises, as it were, above a swamp. It is like a building erected on piles. The piles are driven down from above into the swamp, but not down to any natural or 'given' base; and if we stop driving the piles deeper, it is not because we have reached firm ground. We simply stop when we are satisfied that the piles are firm enough to carry the structure, at least for the time being."
