  • I do think that presenting your critics as cartoon caricatures of thought police is bait, yes. But I don't particularly care that you're doing it - I'm just pointing out that a culture of antagonism isn't the same thing as a culture of persecution, and that you engage in extremely similar behavior to the people you yourself are demonizing. You're characterizing me as mad about this and I'm truly not (nor have I indicated I even feel particularly strongly about it), but you're still basing your responses in this interaction as though I am. Why assume that?

  • Sure, and you're just as complicit in the culture of antagonism as they are. I'm not advocating for your tolerant interaction in the face of hostility, I'm just pointing out that you're posting blatant ragebait then claiming that the people who take that bait are somehow behaving worse than you are or that they're not engaging in good faith.

  • You admit you dont engage with them - which is a perfectly reasonable choice you can make, to be clear - but without an ability to criticize the source, it's natural for them to form a community to voice their objections to your ideas, and for that community to include context. The antagonism between .ml and non-.ml users enthusiastically goes both ways (the memes you've posted here are example enough of that, as is my use of .ml as shorthand for "people that are tankies"). If you don't want to continue it, it's probably best to take the classic advice and not feed the trolls.

  • I scraped all their comments directly from their user page with a selenium script, dumped them into a text file and opened that in Libre Office.

    ... I am elegance personified. Someone hire me to work on your codebase.

  • It looks like there's been 1 emdash out of the ~306,100 characters you've typed on lemmy.

    (I'm having some trouble with the API (I am spamming the hell out of it to get these numbers so I should probably stop...), I may be missing some of your comments.)

  • I once had an archeologist friend explain, completely unironically, how weekly meal-prep is a modern harvest ritual.

    I think the problem is that the meme is presented as making fun of archeologists for calling everything they don't understand "ritual", when it really should be about how the definition of "ritual" has crept so far out of scope as to include everything they do understand, too.

  • People are a whole lot better about firearm safety than they are pretty much anything else here (driving laws, workplace safety, building codes...). The US has a whole fuckload of problems because of guns, but their ubiquity has given rise to a culture of gun safety that's pretty universal here. It's why we have so few accidental firearm deaths (... relative to the absurd number of guns in the country, that is)
