What a social network is for:
- See interesting stuff from friends and people that interest you
- Cute animal photo of the day
- Feel a positive human connection
What it ain’t for:
- Witch hunts
- Make up bullshit about strangers you never met
- Brand engagement
@mooselwhipes
For the sake of this question let's say yes.
Beautiful thought, too.

@Surasanji
15 Episodes. 100 gigs of videos, eight hours.
Feels good :D
@commandelicious
I enjoy watching HOI4 too. But I can understand why. It's got more action in a sense.

@Surasanji Are they required to answer truthfully and detailed?
Not that I’m worried about this person, but I would love to ask my Grandmother, who died when I was quite young, “Did I turn out like you imagined and are you proud?”
I’d really just love to talk to her and be able to make some memories beyond the pictures that we have. Among everyone who ever met her, she rivaled Mother Theresa in how amazing a woman she was.
@commandelicious
Awesome, Looking forward to watching more of the series. :) THanks for taking your time to record!

@Surasanji I am still recording. Eight hours now, such a good game :D
@gizm0_0@tenforward.social They say that Goat Love is the most honest love there is. #MadeUpFacts
Real Space is where I started with modding Stellaris. I love it- it is *so* pretty and it adds a lot of interesting additions to the universe generation.
I don't heavily mod it, I play with the following:
*UI Overhaul 1080p Plus
*Real Space (The full 4 Mods)
*Planetary Diversity (And companion mod for Real Space)
*!CGM Mod suite. (3 Mods)
I think that's all of them. All on Steam Workshop.
These were unintentionally miss numbered. Oops.
@commandelicious Hah! Well, we'll find some time. It'll be good. I use some mods, but I can do without if you prefer to play vanilla.
My Philosophy. CWed and split for Length and ease of reading. Part 6/Final.
Integrity is very, very important to me. Integrity, in this case, is a consistent set of rules. A framework of behavior and how you should be as a person.
Integrity does not, typically, have caveats and addendum. It needs to be consistent to be worth a damn.
People, I've found, respect integrity. All people, regardless of where they are.
I really internalized the concept of integrity while working as a Corrections Officer for the South Carolina Department of Corrections.
My Lieutenant had a mantra for how to interact with inmates, and it has stuck with me for well over a decade: "Firm, Fair, and Consistent."
He was right- arbitrary application of rules and policies just caused problems for everyone.
It should be the same in your behavior and world-view. Firm, fair, and consistent.
I consider myself amoral because I feel that morals and ethics are situational. That, at times, such codes require flexibility.
What is right in one situation is not right in a second, perhaps similar situation.
This being the case, my internal rule set is a general guideline. It gives me enough flexibility to be in a particular situation and find a solution that I feel comfortable with, while giving me the 'Hard Stop' I need to keep my keel straight.
"Firm, Fair, and Consistent'. Those are my words to live by.
Finally, I have one last thing to add to this, as I feel this more or less gives the general jist of who I am.
TL;DR: Be Excellent To Eachother. Treat yourself and others with respect. Find Love and Beauty, especially when everything is turning to shit.
I love you #QOTO , and I love you #Mastodon. I hope the best for each of you, and I hope you have a BEAUTIFUL day.
<3 Dude, I'm just happy to be along for the ride. I enjoy your content. The fact that you're such a nice guy only means I enjoy it more.
We gotta play some Stellaris sometime, just for fun, if you can find a few hours a month or something. Us against the Galaxy!
My Philosophy. CWed and split for Length and ease of reading. Part 5.
I, again, pull from my Jewish upbringing here and it mixes with the philosophies I've absorbed.
Tikkun Olam: Fixing the world.
The human world, if you'll excuse the colorful language, is completely fucked up. I don't know if it started this way, or if it showed up sometime later- but Earth as she sits now is a mess.
And human society is a mess.
And individual human beings are a mess.
Everything's fucked, man.
It doesn't *have* to be, though. We have an obligation to improve the world in whatever way we're able. This doesn't mean you, as an individual, need to solve world hunger or crime or the vast inequities that exist in our reality.
What it means, for me, is that I am obligated to do whatever I can to bring a little beauty into someone's life. To help heal the self-inflicted wound in our communal souls.
That means, for me, to stand up for equity and equality in our society. To treat people with a measure of love- simply because they are people and they are worthy of love because that's how I feel it should be.
Love is beautiful. Physical, emotional, spiritual love- all of it is so beautiful.
And when it comes to love- and to Tikkun Olam- there is beauty in it regardless (And sometimes because of) the people involved.
Helping to heal the world is an obligation in my world view, but I'm not going to pretend for even a bare second that I know, exactly, how to do it .
Now onto Integrity.
My Philosophy. CWed and split for Length and ease of reading. Part 2.
@ster You are under no obligation to believe anything at all. You are fully welcome to decide for yourself that the world is dark and depressing and everything is shit and you wouldn't be wrong whatsoever. The human world is, objectively, broken to some degree.
