Not good enough, we need this in APA format.

Boo this person! (I kid, don’t boo them, they’re doing good work and I understand if not everyone wants to be a sh.it.head)

I’d ask how you define evil in this case. To me, an act is evil when the net detriment to the planet and its contents (including humans) is greater than the net benefit it creates, and the actor pursues said act knowing this. I’d argue it scales with the nature and context of the act. It’s hard to say this isn’t real. But yes, we all have the capacity for evil, and also can be complicit in other evils by dint of normalized behaviours (without necessarily being ‘evil’ ourselves)

I do agree that an absolute Evil doesn’t exist, the same way an absolute Good doesn’t exist. But we’re a pile of writhing meat puppets on a moist, moldy rock - we don’t exist on that level in the first place.

I likened it to a room with bidirectional portals yesterday - your analogy is much better, and has been stolen for future use.

Ah, understood. Thanks!

Lol, fair. I’m still not well versed in inter-service ActivityPub stuff. I don’t know if you’ll see this or see any of the parent comments here on Lemmy.

Contingency plans if IA loses the appeal about the library stuff, or in general has something happen that puts IA’s collections at risk of being lost. Any thoughts on the matter? Also cool if it’s not something you want to talk about, I know you don’t speak for the whole org.

How do we archive the archive?

I urge you to consider this before giving up on Lemmy entirely, it’s kind of the beauty of the federated services.

Honestly, to begin with I’d go to Fetlife or something and ask this to active cuckolds and hot wives. How did people start? What challenges have come up? Do they feel secure in their relationships? Any stories where it went horribly wrong? That kind of thing - anything to get a peek at what this kind of thing is like IRL.

Next, take a hard, unsexy look at your fantasy. What are things that would make this unpleasant for you? Some dudes like being verbally humilated during this stuff - would that be you, or would that hurt? What is your connection with the guy - have y’all had a grownup talk about what everyone wants? Is it just some random guy at the resort? What if you find they are texting after your vacation - is this hot, or traumatic? What if she wants you to do something with the guy (pretty common) - down, or no way? What if she wants to fuck him and you’re not present - cool, or no? And so on.

Once you’ve got this sorted, in terms of approaching the conversation, common pitfalls to be acknowledged, and your hard and soft limits, then talk to your wife. Say you’ve had this fantasy, and want to know if it’s something she would be interested in. What concerns does she have? If she’d otherwise be game, how do you manage those? Talk it out so that a) you both can determine if it’s something you want to pursue, and b) in such a way that everyone feels super turned on and excited about the activities, with any risks to folks’ feelings controlled for to the best of your ability.

It’s not for everyone, but if you think it through, communicate consistently and honestly with your partner, and respect each others limits, it is for some.

I would love to see someone discuss any enshitification trends with EHR software, as well as any initiatives to bolster FOSS stuff like OSCAR for hospital use cases (far as I know, it’s pretty much just used at the clinic level, with more and more uptake of proprietary solutions for that use case as well here in Canada [obligatory Fuck Telus]).

What about patronising as in ‘patronising this business’? A little archaic, but I do hear it from time to time, usually with the ‘pay’ pronounciation.

Then again, if someone is accusing me of being patronising (which happens a lot for reasons I don’t quite understand, but I digress), it’s split odds whether I’m “pah-trun-ising” or “pay-trun-ising”.

English is weird (perhaps this is its wyrd?)

I pay $25/month for a single line that gives me unlimited talk, text, and data (Visible). Couldn’t be happier.

You know what I found pretty enjoyable? Descriptive audio versions of movies, intended for the blind. Someone posted an open directory with tons back at the old place once, found it a nice change of pace. With the right movie it’s an audio drama with Hollywood actors.

So hold up - does anyone have a better source? Who is this guy? What’s his story? How much influence does he wield?

“You mean … fluid transfer?!” 🤮

There’s an RSS tag on instances and communities, at least when looking at it via a web browser. Is at an indiviual instance or community level, though - as far as I know you can’t export your subscribed communities to link them all to an RSS reader in one go.

At least, there is for sh.itjust.works, dunno about other instances. See above blue smudge below.

Probably the same kind of people who make similar arguments about CanCon.

There’s always been this tension between “We need a thriving TV and film industry in this country” and “Most of what we produce is garbage for the purpose of using government grants” here. Can’t help but wonder if it’s the same on your end of the planet (#justcommonwealththings).

At least there are always a couple diamonds in the sludge, though (here, Schitt’s Creek, TPB, and I’m sure some others even though the other ones I think of are looong over)

Fair - it’s more accurately an action RPG (or RPG + arena brawler?) - but mentioned with 3rd person shooting robots in mind.

Once OP started talking about Chibi Robo and MechAssault we’re straying away from shooters proper anyway (but this could be my own bias).

Mostly just curious on OPs take on it.

Ooh ooh do Custom Robo Arena next!
