Banner, again:

UPDATE: I just created !freecompliments@lemm.ee! I couldn’t create it on lemmy.world, sorry. Lemmy World can be weird like that. But at least lemm.ee is stable!

Edit: I would also like to say that after looking at r/freecompliments, their rules are over-explained TL;DR stuff and I get the vibe that they are overly controlling, enforcing a toxic level of positivity at all costs, and all that.

Edit 2: What sucks is I made this new banner for it, but lemm.ee has never let me upload images, even profile pics or banners.

@maniclucky@lemmy.world

I tried posting this to trueoffmychest to dredge some sympathy for him, since that seemed appropriate and he was good with it, but they don’t allow ‘anger’ or ‘impersonal’ posts and that got quietly removed immediately

Okay, yeah, and this is why I’m happy I created this community. “Toxic positivity”, “extreme safe spaces”, and tangential mentalities are extremely harmful and suffocating and can die in a fire.

1. People get angry, and that’s fine
2. Nobody’s perfect, and that’s fine
3. Bonus: Nobody should be able to ban you based on what other subreddits/communities you’re a part of. I guess unless they’re politically-insidious, hate groups, or otherwise promoting harm? But yeah

Fuck you, Unity.

Japan would rather die. Microsoft, I don’t know what their shit deal is.

I hope so, but frankly we’ll just have to see. The people with the money and power usually win.

Fun statement and all, but he clearly understood what humans wanted and needed. He just didn’t factor in that imperfect humans wouldn’t accept a society and life that were somehow perfect in spite of said humans. They en masse knew something felt off.

No, not my minis!

But that’s what fans are for

What?

I don’t remember why, but I’m pretty sure I needed to to use some kind of service.

I think you missed the point of why I said that.

Yee. As an aside, by “education”, I mean any kind of knowledge. Many successful people have at least a small degree of intuitive knowledge— stuff they understand but weren’t explicitly taught. They may not even realize that they understand it and others don’t, because it came naturally.

1. A vent is a vent. Usually people are looking for others who understand where they’re coming from even if they disagree.
2. It was a non-rhetorical question. What really do I know for sure?
3. Others’ opinions and insights, potential for my viewpoint to change. It’s almost as if sticking to your first opinion and being stubborn about it is dumb, yeah?

Okay, yeah. Basically magical thinking— thinking that if someone succeeds, they are just special. Which is wrong. In reality, most of it is education, hard work, being first, getting good exposure, and plain old luck. And finishing a novel— even a shitty one— is hard work.

That’s fair, though Sorcerer’s Stone really wasn’t written better than later installments.

Thanks for this. Might give it a watch later. ^^

I would also like to call “third-party” content creators “fans” in this case too, in which case that is absolutely true. Extended universe? Clone Wars show? Comic books? Novels? All that third-party Star Wars content is pretty passionate. This is also true of Sonic— Archie and the ascended fan game Sonic Chronicles cared a lot more about Sonic’s universe than SEGA did.

By that last sentence, do you mean “but you can’t seem to accept”, or “you should accept”?
