> IMHO the problem becomes when your hatred for someone consumes you so much that you can’t rationally talk about something pertaining to that person.
I agree, and I'd say this applies to most of the people strongly adhering to either side of the spectrum. Most people who are solidly left or right will irrationally and without discussion stick to their guns on botht he people they like and the people they hate. I dont think I've ever met a person who is a self-described conservative who felt Biden "wasnt so bad", nor have i ever found a neo-liberal who felt that way about Trump.
I do understand the cringe aspect of that, and I do agree. But I have to still say the fact that he generally treats people with respect who respectfully express a difference of opinion goes a long way with me, no one is perfect, and your concerns are valid, but when judging someone you have to look at the bigger picture and I think Stux is an alright guy overall despite any short comings.
I mean, he is certainly on the left side of the political spectrum. Not so far I'd call him alt-left or extremist, but still a very strong lean. That usually means hating the people you have to hate to get into the left-club, no different than if you want to be in the right-club you need to hate certain people. In that regard I suppose I agree, he certainly has some strong biases against a few figures... but hey, no one is perfect, I still think the guy is decent.
I think more of it is just trying to stay popular while balancing his ethics.. He has taken a stance where that left-lean is part of his appeal to his audience, and what drives many people to his servers. So he has to keep a certain list of talking points if he is to not be canceled from that half of the fediverse too. So there are very real pressures on him to hate the people the left says you have to hate.
That said Elon and and Trump have plenty of reasons one might dislike them, especially Trump.
@icedquinn @Jain @Stellar @realcaseyrollins
Thats a weird reason to block you, I mean you definately could buy cannons back then (and plenty of record of people doing it) and in fact you can still buy cannons today in the USA.... seems a weird thing for him to get hung up on, and to block on... usually @stux seems a bit more reasonable than that :(
@realcaseyrollins @icedquinn @Jain @Stellar @stux
Oh, wonder why he blocked iced ::shrug::
@icedquinn @Jain @Stellar @realcaseyrollins
What did @stux do? I have disagreed with him politically on many things and he has always responded reasonably outside of any disagreement itself.
@freemo Yeah, if that's the current state of affairs (i don't follow celebrity events and frankly don't care to research them), then i agree.
Rape must be taken seriously, and for that to work false accusations must be taken seriously and not accepted. The sex of the people involved does not matter for this part.
If someone gets away with false accusations while someone else does not, that's clearly both a double standard and it has the effect of supporting rape.
@realcaseyrollins I mean if thry canceled an entire movie just because they refused to work with johnny (who was already prepaid and signed on) im mot sure thats any better, its worse actually.
Russia has lost half their military against #Ukraine and is about to lose territory they illegally held since 2014.
This fact makes those infected with MAGA brain worms angry. Be a shame if this was retweeted
Pretty sure Johny Depp's character was pretty critical for continuity in the pirates of ghr carribean too, not to mention a much bigger franchise.
Just a reminder, Johnny Depp was canceled from every major movie franchise just on the accusation of rape with no evidence... Now that it was proven the rape accusations were lies how is Amber Heard's career doing? She is still scheduled to be in Aquaman and the Losr Kingdom. Double standards anyone?
@herag Its usually never a problem. You will only hit it if you have clients across multiple devices.

Our rate limit is usually more than high enough that most people will never hit it. Only if you have a buggy or aggressive client could you potential hit it.
