We’re talking about ex theatre majors, not people who work in media. I went to a college with a renowned theatre program and I can say first hand that they are easily the most insufferable people of any major. I’ll admit that has colored my opinion quite a bit. The entertainment industry is notoriously nepotistic and the only people from my class that had success were those with rich dads who were connected in the entertainment scene. This breeds contempt amongst them and it’s palpable when you are hanging out with them.
The current userbase of Mastodon are the most self righteous fart sniffers of old twitter. hopefully this will improve over time but half the content is complaining about twitter and how much better their little circlejerk of a community is.
Yes there is. Plenty of experiments require millions to billions of dollars in capital to make the same observations that you are trusting scientists to be honest about. This is a cope take. There is plenty of blind trust in the way the general public understands science.
can attest to this. used to being banned on reddit for some very mainstream (yet controversial in terminally online spheres) opinions. i hope lemmy moderators never become what reddit moderators have become
Can you imagine what would happen if the criteria for getting away from a cop after a crime is just “drive fast for a little bit”? Can you imagine the chaos then? The issue is that there’s no distinct line between chasing a criminal and becoming a high speed chase. Are cop cars not allowed to pursue fleeing criminals at all? Just if they’re all going the speed limit? But the moment they go over the cops have to bail? Sure, maybe they should lean into drone technology more, but I really dislike the idea of letting criminals get away, as it will simply inspire more criminal. I believe the amount of carjackings would skyrocket if getting away was as easy as driving fast.
You can disagree with me all you want but there’s a lot more to this topic and there’s a reason why cops chase down criminals in nearly every country.
My opinion was “no I don’t think we should let criminals get away because of a freak accident”. It’s not that serious, I saw a post on my frontpage and I commented on it. boo fucking hoo, you’re pretending like my relatively milquetoast opinion is some moral failing.
I’m not complaining about people disagreeing with me, I’m complaining about people wishing death upon me. And to be honest, I don’t really care, but I think the fact that people are willing to stoop that low over simple differences in opinion is demonstrative of the quality of person I’m dealing with. I’m just a dude who has some opinions that would only be controversial on a place as terminally online as Lemmy, who are often completely consumed by the culture war nonsense who believe any criticism of your own side means you are supporting the other.
You seem like a heartless and knowingly thoughtless person who feels entitled to be heard but not to listen or abide by norms, complaining of the wounds others have put upon you but silent about your own transgressions.
Get a grip on yourself. This line is hilarious when you consider the context of a disagreement in a comment section.
This all seems like excuses to justify someone wishing death upon another person. Btw, this showed up on the frontpage, and I’m not going to read the novel of rules for every single subreddit (or whatever the lemmy equivalent is) I participate in. Although they do have the right to ban me (which they did and I’m not complaining).
tl;dr wishing death upon other commenters is fine as long as they are posting something that is disagreeable
https://lemmy.world/comment/3879109 here is the comment wishing death upon me.
I’ll keep searching for the one that threatened to hack me and dox me as a pedophile who raped kids. It actually wasn’t in either of the two threads mentioned, it was another thread.
I said (in the context of violent criminals) that rehabilitation should not be the main goal but rather keeping dangerous people away from functioning members of society.
