@Tornflakes and here i was thinking i was original

@louiscouture nice, love this. Ill use it in the next few days

@timorl iv3 always appreciated our ability to have civil discourse where we each are critical of eachother and do our best to reflect on that and consider it... so im glad we have once agai had a producive conversation, thank you.

@VoxDei yea seems we are more or less in alignment outside of perhaps a bit of nuanced cases

@VoxDei i mean you do you.. obviously it was a general rule not a hard rule, so the details are in the nuance.

But if there is something i dont want to hear about or care about (like antivaxxers) i just dont read their posts when they pop up. But i think its still a good idea to let them have a presence in any thread in case someone might want to have thst interaction

@VoxDei its not subjective, its objective. And im the one who is enligbtened enough to know what that is, duh! ;)

In all seriousness though leg me put it another way... its not about rudeness its more about hate, antagonism and aggression... which is only partly about intent... there is no way to think black people are subhuman and not be hateful

@VoxDei the issue, as i see it, is it makes it look like you dont want dissenting opinions in your feed, whicb in turn looks like your trying to manipulate the conversation and eliminate counter arguments in an attempt to make sure your views arent challenged and refined and so you can control the narrative.

@VoxDei im not talki g about if someone personally finds something rude or impolite, im talking about something **is** rude or impolite, in an objective sense.

Of course it just so happens that what is objectively impolite are all the things i have determined to be rude ;)

@VoxDei and if you just dont enjoy talking to them, thats fine, dont.. take them out of your federated feed if you want, but if they want to comment and interact on your posts, particularly with others, who cares.

@VoxDei if you know they are racist then thry said something to give you that information. Whatever it is thry said is impolite. Maybe not to you, but it is to the race they spoke of.

Finding something upsetting isnt the same as finding somethibg rude.. this one is a harder sell for me.

There are different types of silence. If you dont silence notifications then all your doing is removing then from your public feed but they can still talk to you and be friendly with you.

Wow even just the shitty food youd get at a hotel resteraunt is out of the world here in bangkok.... my god that meal was amazing.

I already loved thaifood but now that im in thailand it is on another level.... holy hell i cant!

@VoxDei "polite by their own standards" is not the same as "polite". You can not be a racist or homophobe and be polite.

Antivaxxer is another matter, thats stupid but not neccesarly impolite. So easy enough to ignore or even just silence it out of your tineline. But no need to block really.

@thor it was removed sometime ago

@ottocrat one thing that is clear from discussions of rail infrstructure in ghr companies i visist... their feasability is all about population density.

England has a very small fraction of the population density if china. The cost to benefit ratio, therefor, is much less.

@kemal ill only be in bangkok for 5 days thrn ill soend most of the time in shang mai

@koherecoWatchdog

Yes in fact as long as its cold enough out youd be running a heater then it is not just energy effecient, it is 99%effecient... effectively it uses no (additional) energy to run.

@koherecoWatchdog my dryer vents into the room, not sure how common that is though.

The condenser version, i guess it drains the water that it collects... interesting.
