So what im hearing is its not "believe <insert minority here" what you really mean is "listen to <insert minority here>"... if thats the case I whole heartily agree.

> Reducing this to a statement about believing one individual over another misses the point and leads to no new knowledge or understanding.

I agree, which is effectively my disagreement with "believe people who are minorities".. as you point out reducing this to a statement of believing individuals based on skin color leads to no new knowledge or understanding.. but a statement about "take the time to listen to minorities" does.

@lonelyowl

Im not sure what my opinion is honestly... once could say allowing blocking breaks the ability to browse publicly and anonymously by requiring extra steps (you need to logout or use a private tab). So you gain nothing by having the feature, but also make a different feature (anonymous/public browsing) work in weird and unexpected ways.

@Popehat

@anderseknert same is true of the Netherlands.

@garyackerman Just say it in the form of a question "What do you think about... <insert opinion here>"

@stux

Dude dont you know, all sarcastic people are Trump supports and Nazis... BAN HIM!!!

@lowqualityfacts

@lonelyowl

The difference is making another account to circumvent a mute is against the rules and would get the account banned. Browsing anonymously is allowed and encouraged.

@Popehat

@mark Thats a fair point. It makes sense to add a feature that prevents users from replying to your post.. or at a minimum make it so if a user is muted then anyone who replies to that user is also not going to have their replies displayed.

@lonelyowl @Popehat

Im not sure its about lack of perfection so much as uselessness. People can browse anonymously, so blocking achieves effectively nothing.

@Blenster If a trans woman and a black woman disagree, which one should we default to believing?

Call me strange, but my beleif in a person is based on their demonstrated honesty, the color of your skin or history of your genitals isnt going to effect that, nor should it. But by the same token you shouldnt discount **anyone** if their claims are serious unless you have good reason to think that person is dishonest, if you dont you should try your best to give them the benefit of the doubt and try to verify any claims if you can.

@jens

He removed individual blocked (which didnt block users from the service)... the ability to block users from the service entierly is still done on twitter and as such it doesnt violate this particular requirement.

@Popehat I just checked his account... it is real.

But the context is that he feels mute is sufficient and gets you all you need. Block makes no sense since users can still view your posts via proxy/public view anyway which is the only difference between a mute and block.

He kinda has a point... what is block getting you over a mute?

@marathon@social.freetalklive.com Nice!

@shockrah yea the handle is great.

I actually have a variety pack of razors coming in. Though I hear feather is objectively the sharpest so im not sure what other blades could really offer.. but im willing to try them.

So yesterdays shave with mild blades and a fixed safety razor (on the left) for the first time worked out pretty well. Closest shave i ever had. Only issue was that it was pulling hairs so when i stsrted shaving against the grain i started getting some nicks.

So i overnight ordered a new setup (on the right) with two brands of ultra sharp blades and a new adjustable safty razor. Despite popular opinion i got less nicks and a smoother shaving when i used the sharper razor in either saftey razor, but the adjustable was nice.

Both brands of high sharpness blades performed equally superior to the mild with the feather being slightly better, no nicks!

Also trying out some various oils and creams for before and after.
