  • And if so, would that entail that the beneficial effects to the group can overwrite the wellbeing of a single individual?

    Nope. This is contradictory with your earlier definition. If morality can't exist without humanity, then that means morality is subjective. If it were objective, it would apply across the board.

    But if morality is also "Doing what is best for the group, even at the expense of the individual" then you've just defined it as objective, not subjective.

    The reality is, morality is subjective. But it's not chosen. It's part instinct that derives from us being social animals, but it's also part custom, tradition and culture. There is no objective morality, sure, but that doesn't just mean that folk get to remove other peoples agency and claim the moral high ground.

    How can you find certainty in what’s morally acceptable and what is not?

    You can't. You just have to listen to your own sense of right and wrong. If it's too much at odds with the rest of society, you'll know about it...

  • Purging doesn't federate.

  • I think it was a reframing of "death by a thousand papercuts"

  • Last time I looked at vernisage, they had signups closed and I couldn't find out much about it. I had forgotten it existed until I saw your post, and honestly, it sounds way more relevant to me that pixelfed. It even does HDR out of the box!

  • From their perspective, we're killing animals that don't need to be killed, to fill a preference we have for flavour. And they're not even wrong.

    They're allowed to be angry. If it were easier to be vegan or vegetarian, I probably would be, and the only way that's going to happen is if people keep making noise and pushing for change. Which is what they're doing.

  • Powderfinger, two times.

    They're from my home city and I got to see their farewell concert from their home hometown. Outdoor stadium, and it was raining, but it was an absolutely amazing experience.

    During COVID, they also did a one night only online concert, all of the members recording from different locations. It was amazing to see them back together, and it was a great way to breakup the lockdown doldrums.

  • Most people in this thread are coming up with an answer though. They can't all have synesthesia!

    Most people here clearly see some connection, or have some sort of "default colour" for the letter.

    But unless I picked a colour at random, I couldn't answer this question.

  • I don't even understand the question.

    I mean, I know what you're asking, but I don't know how to answer it. Letters don't have colours. They don't have anything. Maybe it's my aphantasia, but I don't understand how a letter can have an innate colour or what that would even mean.

  • Bumblebees are not aggressive, and even though they can sting without dying (unlike honeybees), they generally don't. It would be like getting bitten by a Labrador. It's possible, but something went wrong somewhere for things to end that way...

  • That's just how lemmy works when you ban with content deletion. It needs to work that way so that the content removal for content posted to local communities federates correctly

  • Yep, pretty much. We also don't care if people ban evade, if evading the ban means they stop the behaviour that got them banned the first time around.

    The goal is to make a safe community, not to punish people.

  • I am banned from a bunch of blahaj because I said that they were as bad as ml once.

    No, you were banned from blahaj because you were arguing that DEI is bad, and that there is no such thing as stolen land, because "everyone does it"

  • That won't be terribly meaningful. lbz has a huge defederation list, because we seeded our defederation list with defeds from our sharkey instance. So as a result, lbz has hundreds of defeds of dead instances from 3 years ago and defeds of mastodon, pleroma and other instances that have never interacted with the threadiverse in any meaningful way.

    If you're just trying to work out how much of the threadiverse each threadiverse instances has defederated, you'd need to do a bit of filtering on the results.

  • o.O

  • I feel like I recognise maybe 80% of the posters I see...

  • It's paid once you get to intermediate level, but the beginner stuff is nearly all free

  • Queer parent with a queer kid here. I've been on both sides of this situation.

    The best thing you can do is be openly and actively supportive of your child. Leave them with no doubt that you love them, you recognise them and are happy for them and that you will support them.

    After that, just listen to what they need.

    If you can do that, the rest doesn't matter. You will absolutely fuck up and say the wrong thing at some point. That's fine. It's inevitable. What's important isn't avoiding the situation, but how you respond after. If they know that you love them, that you're trying your best, and you can learn from your mistakes, that's what matters.

    Your kid will tell you what they need, even if it's just the space to work out what they need. Just listen :)

  • De Musica Ligera or Mundo Paralelo.

    80s rock vs Frente in Spanish. I can't decide

  • I couldn't imagine running with anything baggy covering my legs...

  • Can't wait to try it!
