Maybe we could start with “if you want to take on an established series, you have to use the actual story, not your fanfic of it”

We actually don’t. This won’t kill AI, this will mean only conglomerates like Disney can own AI.

I’d like adaptations that are actually adaptations and not fanfic

Not sure how much you’d want to trust his list. During the Luigi incident many users were instance banned simply for supporting Luigi, and the bans stand to this day. His ban list is not just malicious users but people he disagrees with.

Idiocracy made the assumption that people were stupid but well intentioned.

Narrator: They were not, in fact, well intentioned

They’re people like anybody else. Whether it was a joke or an actual tiff has no bearing on their leadership of the country.

An elegant technique, for a more civilised age.

Cables being the main way of power transmission, they’re not going away anytime soon. In fact they’re proliferating, given the increasing number of devices.

Yeah, it’s one of the factors causing echo chambers to form online.

Not that I doubt you, I just don’t understand how a user bidirectional block works when other instances don’t support the feature.

How does that work from a technical perspective? Do non-piefed users still see you?

I’m not sure how or why it hasn’t been mentioned yet, but one reason blocking is the way it is, is because in a public forum like this, blocking somebody else from seeing your content is extremely open to abuse, while providing no real benefit from a protection perspective. As accounts are essentially free and unlimited, any malicious user can logout or spin up a new account to bypass your block.

On the abuse issue, it was previously shown with some testing on Reddit that by posting something offensive and controversial, then blocking everybody who responded in a negative manner, you could within 3 - 5 rounds of blocking reach the point where you could post practically anything and have it seen like a popular opinion, since everybody who disagreed with you and was willing to call out your bullshit couldn’t see it any more. Hence technical reasons aside, there are very good systemic reasons the blocking mechanism works the way it does.

Hmm? I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

I don’t know that there’s a lot there that’s different from your everyday stuff, other than the brands. Liverpostei, maybe? It’s a sort of liver dish.
