there should be a "block instance" option in your settings, though I don't think that blocks them if they post in a separate instance which is the whole point of the fediverse.

For real, they should have either bought or cloned VRChat as a first step, and then looked into expanding from there. That shit is a metaverse that people willing go into primarily because it enables a ton of free expression.

Once I learned that a couple of these truisms are just wrong they became like nails on a chalkboard to me. The worst part is they are so fucking ingrained into the worldview of otherwise smart and thoughtful people that you sound like a Holocaust denier when you try to argue that no, actually, the Soviet Union didn't murder 1/3rd of their own entire population.

There are two Saint Nicholas'. One is a jolly elf who gives toys to children, the other is a corporate mascot invented by Coca Cola in the 1950s.

I find it hard to believe that imperial china didnt invade anyone between 598 ad and 1912

Trump pretty much did what he always did, which is read the room and react in the most obvious way in the moment. People like Mamdani, better to embrace him and try to catch some of that wave than remain opposed to him. This is all part of capitalist co-opting of reformist blah blah you know that part.

idk what's going on in Mamdani's head. He probably sees being gracious to the president as a better path than being oppositional to him. But we simply won't know his true colors until he's in power and ICE raids are happening in New York and we see his response. Power doesn't corrupt, it reveals.

He probably took a plane over a train for the most boring reason imaginable, like the White House wanted to set the meeting at a specific time and that was the only way to get there fast enough. Or maybe the WH sent him a plane ticket in some kind of crypto anti trains power play.

not wiping your butt is fascist middle class patriarchal behavior
