Not being able to post due to errors is annoying. I can't post anything!

In my opinion, it's okay. It's pixel art that does its job of depicting things the player can recognize. It just looks bad. The colours in particular are... not pleasant.

I'm no expert but I think there are (or should be) exemptions in the case of crime

I think I fall into this category, but it's complicated. How much I believe in the supernatural depends on how much the belief will benefit me in the moment. Most of the time, it only goes as far as making jokes, coping with grief, and explaining weird but mundane occurances. There are a few beliefs where I'm more into them, such as the idea of reincarnation, but I'm still aware that there's no scientific evidence to support them and that "brains are weird" is the best explanation for them. In the end, it's about what helps me feel better, and only me. When I mysteriously lose an object, sometimes it's fun to say a ghost moved it. When I'm sad about the passing of a pet, imagining their spirit frolicking in pet heaven is comforting. I don't really believe in these things with my whole heart. Sometimes it's just nice to pretend.

This is heartbreaking. The fire was an act of arson! What hateful person would do such a thing?

A better comment would have been like "this reminds me of Technology Connections' Alec Watson, he talks a lot about how much he hates blue LEDs. Here's a video [link]"
It makes the same reference, but provides more context, more content, and a new point of discussion.

This kind of low effort comment should have stayed on Reddit.

I didn't find it very hard to change how I downvoted comments. Of course what counts as contributing to a conversation is subjective, but I don't think that should stop people from using it to decide whether to upvote or downvote. I downvote low effort comments, inflammatory comments, rude comments, and comments that spiral into tangents about unrelated topics. I upvote comments using my own judgement to encourage healthy discussions where people contribute differing ideas. I may not agree with every comment I upvote.

Die? What is it with assuming that small instances will inevitably die? There are people out there who want small instances, they will keep them alive.

I really like that idea! A user's most recent behaviour is the most important to be able to judge at a glance.

I don't see why we can't have both. They don't contradict each other.

I went down the rabbit hole and holy fuck, this is terrifying. It's a woowoo doomsday cult for kids.

People are humanizing computer programs way too much, and thus, we have arguments like this. An AI language model is not one of those sci-fi AIs that live in spaceships and talk to the crew. AI language models do not have individuality, creativity, consciousness, or free will. They are computer programs doing math to turn inputs into outputs.
(I hope this works.) I was so happy with my cute new boat design, but it went and did this the minute I took my eyes off it. Edit: the link's not working how I intended and I'm not smart enough to know why. It's supposed to be a video.

I find her helpful in combat as long as you don't pilot her. I like to give her a frost emitter on one arm and a monster horn on the other.

The safest and most effective way to prevent Meta from destroying ActivityPub is to never give them so much as an inch. They WILL embrace, extend, extinguish if given the chance. Defederate from ALL Meta-owned instances. Be vocal about it. Tell other instances to do the same.

My heart aches for all the citizens living in Russia who have to live in fear because they're ruled by a tyrant dictator. If this news is true, things will only get worse for them. I hope the people can escape, or better: live in a better Russia with leaders who treat them like human beings.
It's wishful thinking, I know. Please stay strong, my Russian friends! Justice will be served one day!

It's a knee-jerk disgust reaction towards any group different from the norm. Furries are also overwhelming queer, so homophobia ties a lot into it.
