I’m not saying mindfulness can’t have serious benefits. However, I would caution anyone who’s into it to read the book McMindfulness. A lot of the “science” behind it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, there can be genuine drawbacks to it, and it’s often used in unethical ways–like to make CEOs of ruthless companies more able to shove aside their feelings of guilt, or to sharpen the minds of soldiers for killing.

I can’t back this up, but I’ve heard the mods there are literally feds.

if MODERATORS are landed gentry, what the fuck does that make rich bastards like him?

as a woke leftist, i hate tankies because y’all aren’t leftists in any meaningful sense. the only difference between you and libs is which countries whose atrocities you justify.

i’ve read marx. at precisely no point does he say anything justifying the various atrocities state capitalist countries have committed. i think he’s wrong about some stuff, but even if you accept that his word is gospel, tankies are still just people who took leftist principles as an excuse for the imposing the kind of brutal authoritarianism that leftists are supposed to be against.

Exactly. Blaming individuals for systemic problems never gets you anywhere. If you can reduce your car dependency, sure, do that, but don’t beat yourself up if you can’t.

See, I was born around 8:00 AM and I hate mornings. I figure it’s the trauma of being ripped out of my nice comfortable home into this weird, loud, cold setting I never asked to go to.

But wait. I have a NSFW subreddit, and reddit doesn’t allow you to upload pictures directly to reddit if you’re on an NSFW subreddit. Right? So how can it be the primary host?

Ha. As if there’s a process. I just stumble across a hill one day and realizing I’m willing to die on it.

you’re acting like this is some kind of new thing. it’s not. trans kids have already been using puberty blockers, and it’s been fine. it’s only new to people like you who didn’t care one way or the other about trans people until you were told they were on the wrong side of the culture war.

just don’t get married then. christ. we need an /r/arethestraightsokay.

unlike cigarettes, trans kids getting healthcare hurts no one. bad post op

Capitalism incentivizes shitty behavior.

I’d love to help you figure this out, but your second link takes me to a 502 error.

Anyway, my guess is that one instance you’re on federates with certain instances, and one does not. So if you’re on instance A and B, A federates with C, but B does not, so from B you won’t see comments from C. But I admittedly don’t know what the differences are between the comment sections you’re seeing, so I could be completely wrong.

damn, they really are teaching CRT to elementary schoolers

I’m probably going to keep using both regardless, though I may cut back significantly on my reddit use.

Not a subscriber yet, but I might become one after I finish Fantasy High.

You’re doing the lord’s work.

Edit: I tried to post something, but the little circle just goes forever.

Litely red supremacy.

I’ve briefly considered setting up a horny instance, but a) I don’t think I have the tech know-how for that, and b) moderation for porn is probably a nightmare.
