Sex between men, not skin contact, is fueling monkeypox, new research suggests

Then stay above it. I know you're venting, but you're also falling into the same line that you're venting against here. I come from a different political point of view than you, but I do enjoy your posts. I think they are positive to this site and discussion in general.

This site draws posters because it gives them a soapbox for their opinions (and frustrations), so we tend to hear extremes as much as reason. Some, who have trouble in real life communicating with others, use this site as a way to let others "hear" them. Just remember that there are many more people who read than post or comment. They are looking for information and most are smart enough to sift through the garbage and truth twisting (or lies). Everyone also has a voice here, whether we agree or disagree, They have a voice whether or not we think it's shitty.

I have seen too many users being called shills because they openly disagreed with someone. I have also seen users called trolls for using humor (or attempt at humor).

It is Gaia's will.

Seriously, if anyone is concerned about a single user a group of users posting too big of the share of new posts, then I think the problem is others not posting enough, not that some are posting too much.

Where in the article does it say the exposure came from anti-vaxxers?

d3rr for keeping the doors open.

Who has the power to assign another admin/moderator? I think we have to work it out if we can, or jump ship.

It would be easy for me to read this post and think "what a whiner". But you are experessing what a lot of us are feeling. Saidit was born from the purge of mainly political free speech at Reddit, so political speech is going to dominate here. I would also like to see a site like Reddit with a variety of interests and groups, but there is still Reddit for a lot of those non-political interests that keeps people from looking or migrating elsewhere. A quick look at your recent comment history shows a heavy slant towards politics. Maybe you just don't want to hear points of view other than what you have already settled decided you like. (Me neither, since I'm never wrong.)

If I can throw in my 2 cents, I have noticed that topics stay at the top for days and days, even after comments have slowed down. Other sites have a much quicker rotation. I don't know what the correct answer is on this one, but it seems like this site is stale conpared to others.

I have to defend u/endlesssunflowers on this one. I disagree with their political stance, but they are one of the few people that make regular contributions as posters. Plus, they post in areas besides politics.

Hey, now.

Zapped · 2021-03-17T01:27:57+00:00

He brings so much tech informative, non-political content. He posts so much I would think he was a bot if he didn't chime in with a few comments here and there.

It doesn't only pertain to liberals. Managing personal finance is a skill, just like any other life skill. We live in a time of cheap "stuff". The problem, I think, is over consumption, as your meme says. So many people don't understand that marketers are fighting to get you to spend your money on their wares, plus financiers are trying to get you to spend your future money on a lesser amount of their current money. This should be part of the school curriculum.

Zapped · 2024-01-20T13:45:06+00:00

I think the main strength is that all opinions are welcomed to be expressed and any reasoning or evidence to back up those opinions can be given without ridicule by the group. I've only seen some individual acts of dismissiveness here. Maybe that's because this site attracts users who are more independent-minded in nature.

Zapped · 2023-06-14T02:59:10+00:00

He has fat fingers. He meant to type "what's y'all's opinions on naggers and kites". He hates people constantly reminding him of his shortcomings and telling him to go fly a kite. /s

They are playing good guy/bad guy (or rather bad guy/bad guy) with the oyveygoyim handle.

Not only did they shut it down, but they are going to give the money to other organizations instead of returning the donations unless people specifically ask for refunds. Isn't that racketeering?

Zapped · 2021-12-01T17:42:55+00:00

I would agree, except he does make some interesting posts. Some of his older audio posts added a lot of interesting content. I'm not going to psychoanalyze Ed other than his sense of humor doesn't translate sometimes, but I don't see his posts as drowning out the overall talk here. As other's have said, us active users should try to add more interesting content. I've seen some posts take off that I didn't think would, and I've seen some I thought were discussion worthy drift off without a comment.

I will add that I've seen some phishing going on here trying to triangulate user data, so be careful how much info you give around here.

I just installed a DIY solar swimming pool warmer. With the cooler than normal weather this year, my pool is still pretty cold. Hopefully it will be 5 to 10 degrees warmer by this weekend.

Zapped · 2022-08-14T15:07:33+00:00

I think the real problem is the amount of unread mail you have.

Zapped · 2021-10-09T12:35:44+00:00

I think I remember the Ruqqus founder talking with u/Magnora7 about getting his site running and M7 offered free advice. He seemed excited and grateful at the time.

Zapped · 2022-08-08T18:24:31+00:00

Done it before. Give him a minute.

Zapped · 2022-02-11T12:00:00+00:00

All of the fuss over u/d3rr deleting his account made him jealous of the attention he was missing out on. Or, he was starting to have second thoughts about those offers he made to u/d3rr if he came back. https://www.saidit.net/s/whatever/comments/8wgh/if_d3rr_will_come_back/

It is what you and the rest of us make it. Welcome.

Zapped · 2023-05-24T11:00:39+00:00

He will pop up with another similar name soon enough and start posting again. This makes the 3rd time, I think, since I've been here. Sometimes he takes a small break when he deletes his account, too.

Zapped · 2023-03-03T10:55:15+00:00

Thank you for the Spanish lesson.

Zapped · 2022-11-14T11:58:40+00:00

I think because the owner is content with the way things are.

This reminds me of Kelly Osborne trying to smear Donald Trump by saying that if he deports illegal Hispanics, there will not be anyone to clean our toilets.

Whatever you've done wrong or perceived to have done wrong, forgive yourself. It sounds weird if you haven't done before, but believe me, it is fantastic. It allows you to let go of the past so you can do more now. You may be overthinking.

Zapped · 2021-11-05T11:31:25+00:00

Actually, he was part of a militia. They were there to defend property owners against the riot mob. You may not understand the rules concerning how a militia can form and operate. Your statements on him pursuing the mob and not trying to avoid having to shoot people are flat out wrong using the video evidence available to everyone. I'm surprised because you are usually more careful with your facts here.

Zapped · 2021-09-24T12:39:12+00:00

The problem is that the rules here can be arbitrary. I have refrained from commenting because so many have already put into words, better than me, how I feel about the matter. Is one comment calling someone a name breaking the rules? What about calling someone a name while making an argument? What about using "debate" to work users into a frenzy? I think we each have a responsibility to discriminate which comments are genuine and which are from shills or trolls; whether for fun or profit. As u/Basghetti touched on: if you can prove they are actively trying to wreck the site and shutter discussion here, then that would be an open-and-shut case for banning, in my opinion.

How I deal with users I think are bad actors or have a mental issue? I don't block them. I glance over their comments and don't give them much credence. The replies to those comments can be more insightful on how others react. Truth be told, it frustrates me sometimes how worked up you can get in those conversations. I think you waste energy you can use elsewhere. There are some pertinent quotes about arguing on this link: https://celebrateyoga.org/41-quotes-arguing-idiots/

Awesome! Good job. I would have not have know this was even a problem except for your post here.

By the way, dick pills sound painful. I prefer oral pills, personally.

I don't think that story is real. The top of the coffin looks no more than a foot under the surface.

He'll be back under a new name. The last one was u/EndWhiteJewSupremcy I think it was an alt of one of the regulars, anyway.

There is nothing wrong with living within your means. The problem I see is that some people want to consume more than they produce and then cry that it's a human rights violation.

Yep. It is good to start teaching your children at a young age how to responsibly handle and care for firearms.
