You’re account was registered when? Today?

Yeah. I heard about the fediverse and thought I’d try it out.

The person who designed the photon theme did good.

Most other platforms are dunking on the fediverse like it a reserve for endangered animals.

I don’t think you’re that bad. We disagree, but I can vibe every now and then.

Have you ever gone camping? Wild stuff in the wild. Cities are nice and all, but the outdoors sound better. To me at least.

I wonder what the Internet would look like without slop. Sounds like a “Heavenly Delusion”.

But dreamers will dream I guess. Or create.

I not ok with all the messed up stuff they’re doing either. I think it’s grim, but I think a lot of people go mentally ill because they believe they’re completely helpless. I’ve been in that mindspace before, things stabilize once I told myself that I care, but not enough to go insane for it.

I have multiple other things I also find interesting, I don’t want to needlessly crucify myself for a cause. It feels like stranding the people and the things I love.

You’d struggle to straighten things out when your brain is making dark scribbles.

Not sure if you get where I’m coming from.

I wasn’t attacking you, it was rhetorical sarcasm. I was thinking like a joke.

Sorry if that offended. I wasn’t sure if we were even on the same conversation thread.

I wonder if there was a way to make forum threads like this easier to read. People joining older conversations tend to be off pace.

Do you use arch?

Your username. I think arch is a cool distro the rices are pretty.

Never got to making my own though.

idk the og russian government likes bears?

Some of the locals are cool like you, but their current government… cold like the snow.

Also why do you think I’m a bot? Are you a bot?

Fun break, I’m going back to reading the links.

You’re mellow though. gg

At any point, Republicans could step up and stop any or all of this.

They could, but that requires coordination and greater operational awareness / intelligence.

You could tip them or give them something actionable/understandable. I’m going to make an assumption that you’ve worked or met someone irl, whose worked in a corp/company before. The government is similar but bigger and more rigid.

It would take very few of them, and if there are good Republicans, as you say, then how many of them are there?

I haven’t bothered counting. You could do that if you wanted to, for whatever side you prefer to observe/analyze.

Most of the good/relatable are lower-ranking, which is a pro/con depending on your perspective.

People will have their personal stances. The data scientists are just trying to classify them so they can figure out a solution.

Thank you.

I am somewhat unsettled, but people usually don’t listen when a problem is posed without an actionable solution.

They’re working blind, and want to get over the dark age however they can. It’s why they tend to select leaders, who then create systems that work in the beginning, then can either be changed or maintained.

Once I get through the cited links, I’ll see if I can figure out something.

The way I see it, people are people. Some people say things that make sense, other times they don’t. I try to check out their sources and reason through conflicting arguments. I also give it some time rather than jumping to impulse decisions.

I try to do things on pattern recognition, but I don’t assume that my view is absolute. I do same with the thoughts and opinions of others.

It’s basically respecting a person’s individuality, and both of our abilities to grow as people.

Being good in one domain, doesn’t make you good in all domains. That takes time: sometimes I have it, other times I don’t.

I am trying. I’m asking questions I’d usually keep to myself.

You are right. There needs to be a public follow-up of some of these decisions to assess their multi-degree effects.

These seem to issues of subordinates blindly following orders or miscarrying out their directives.

In addition there are coordinators/facilitators who need to be kept on tighter leashes and strictly supervised.

Prison is meant to be for rehab, a place to tame “wolves” in a sandbox. Beyond issuing decrees, there needs to be civilian driven investigations into some of these places. They are funded by tax-payers and should be transparently accountable to them, similar to investors in the private sector.

It’s that or some territories voluntarily separate due to operational disagreements.

Let me correct myself: “good enough”

I’m not expecting saints, but I’m also not expecting self-destructive degenerates.

You don’t need to allocate all your trust to someone. Just assign the minimal amount of trust that makes sense to get the job done to the proper standard, and no lower. (subjective)

Damn. That’s bad. I think it’d make more sense to single out the people causing problems and making the dumb decisions.

Lumping people into groups based on their political party feels rash, since on both sides there are good people who you could reasonably trust to do their jobs and make the country better.

The shotgun approach makes a bunch of noise and confuses anyone trying to figure out what’s going on.
