@worldsendless It was bizzare. I dont think it started that way but when his own server went up in arms over it I think he was just acting emotionally at that point.
The owner of that instance, david, was called out for some really vile anti-lgbt behavior that involved us. In short he vblocked us but refused to explain why and then started banning people on his server as they complained and then the community got really upset and here we are.
He still never actually bothered to say his reason for blocking or provide any real receipts.
@dclr42 It is only hate speech if one party is offended by it.
There is more than one rat experiment.. I had assumed he meant a different one than this. ::shrug::
The thing this is missing is that most people want others to suffer not simply because they happened to turn out fine, but because they believe that suffering **is the reason** they turned out fine. They see it as something that builds character.
Not saying their right, just saying you cant fix a problem by misunderstanding it.
Yes someone else pointed that out. Seems i misunderstood, understandable considering the language barrier. Given what was really meant this sign seems reasonable to me now.
@lucifargundam such as?
@lucifargundam Im sure he has advisors that do.. Im skeptical it was ever intentional.
If what you say is what they meant then I can understand that.
Yes I do agree the other things seem fairly legitimate and it was only this one item that seemed offensive, but as you said maybe i misunderstood.
How would he cashout by doing that? What is this master plan where buying an overpriced company and then crashing its value is somehow in his interest?
I used to think musk was a smart business man... now i doubt that.
I think rich people like Trump and Musk are more the result of the populace becoming so stupid they cant recognize a faker anymore so its the prime time for morons to rise to the top on a fake reputation alone.
@mike805 Cant imagine how that could be to his advantage with so much money invested.
@shuttersparks there really isnt a huge need to use iron gall unless you really need something specific. For example some papers just work better with it.
that said, like i said iron gall, modern day iron gall, is formulated specifically for FP, they **are** meant for it. There is a guy on youtube that abuse tested this by filling pens with iron gall and letting them dry out then cleaning them. The pens were fine.
In fact they are probably safer for your pen than pigment inks and bulletproof inks.. Once those settle in your pen you will probably have a much harder time cleaning them out. I know when i use a pen with my carbon ink there is a perminant coating that effects future fills and discolors future ink.
@freemo Same here (though I didn't have that many followers). Once in a while someone sends me a DM and then I tell them that now I'm here. Very few of them moved, or even made a foothold here.
I used to check in on twitter once a week or so just to see my notifications and if anyone reached out to me to respond... I have a few thousand followers and would get a few notifications a week so it was worth the effort.
Since musk took over my notifications and declined to a crawl. Now week after week I have consistently no notifications. As a result I check my twitter less and less and even find myself just closing the tab and forgetting about it for long periods.
Im pretty sure im not the only one and twitter is quickly dieing.
