And if you agree to their new terms of service (there's only an accept button when you open the site), you agree it's not discord's fault!

Such innovation.

Not necessarily. You wouldn't call the guy who takes care of the road the ruler. There's inherent power there, but mods do necessary activity for the community

The position can definitely be abused though

Yes. So it's anal with queer rules

H is the funniest. You'd get to pay people in rocks. That will lead to so much interesting slang

Ugh... So close

We need a picture of a cop arresting an ICE official. Doesn't even matter if they cut them lose immediately

I legit thought it was to publicly call out a user to be (metaphorically) flogged

And while it's not how I do things, I totally understand the impulse. Tell me that doesn't sound like something that could exist

Yep. If he was competent, he would have declared the insurrection act in January, maybe early February after building up a casus belli

He could have ridden that momentum all the way through, by the time people got upset they'd be afraid

Now? It's too late. No one is buying it, no one has an appetite for it. He doesn't have the momentum to blow past the courts, no one in his administration has the conviction to put their balls on the table, and so we have this weak, performative version of a takeover that appeals to no one

It depends on how you define yourself

I am me. Not my memories, not my body, not my knowledge, not even my mind

At the very center of my being, there's a driving spark. My most fundamental self. It's the desire for understanding in a very specific flavor, and the form of it is reaching out to touch something with your fingertips. It's like a fractal that has endless meaning the closer you look at it, it contains many understandings of the truth of the nature of things and how things fit together. And within those truths is everything that I am

That's me. I am not the animal I inhabit, I act through the animal. I freely share my understandings with the animal, and so the animal can see clearly and know truth to find new understandings in all things.

One day the animal will die, and everything but the understandings will be burnt away, because the animal is afraid of being left behind.

I'll have understandings of people, but memories are a physical thing. I'll have understandings of how the world works, but knowledge is in my mind. I'll have understandings of beauty and emotion and the full spectrum of the human experience, but my nature is not human

So it all depends, who are you? Are you a person who acts a certain way? Are you your relationship with others? Are you your memories, skills, and experiences? Are you your physical body?

Have you awakened your spark? Have you looked deep inside yourself to learn from it and add to it? Is it you, or is it something that whispers to you? Are you the combination of the spark and the animal?

Or do you walk another path? Are you your blood? Your legacy? Will you die when your name is last spoken? Will you live on for the rest of time through the ripples you made on the world?

It's a question you have to decide for yourself. I think maybe the most important question

But that doesn't have the truth of understandings, so I guess it's just my opinion

And a mismatched button might just be because you were in a rush. Hell, I wear mismatched socks all the time, but I am aware of this fact and I don't care

It's all contextual

Goddamit... It's ref log, not re flog. I thought this was related to blame and never touched it lmao

This is not a stable system... You can't burn the world forever

He's waiting for someone else to fix the situation for him, his brain is soup
