You don’t consider Lemmy to be social media?

Die Fantastischen Vier - Krieger could make an interesting piece or art piece.

It’s German, here’s the first lyrics translation weblink I found

geizhals.de - comparison portal, and then go by offer and ratings, and which I know and used before

More choice, individual and grouped control, while still being - by default - connected between instances and platforms which would otherwise be splitting if people and critical mass.

Bending in gymnastics helps bend the rules in PRs.

Systematically the same. Different weight shift (views and interests). Smaller userbase also makes it a bit different, but will become more similar with more users.

You can accept people as people without accepting their positions, claims, or views.

You can be mindful of when to engage in comments or not.

You can shift your mindset from arguing with a random stranger/bigot to defusing their talking points, or not letting them stand when you feel they should not.

People are more than one thing. You don’t have to like everyone. And you certainly don’t have to like all their aspects like the limited view one can see from their online profile or comment.

I don’t think Lemmy is fundamentally different from Reddit either, in terms of how people behave, and how it will develop with more users. You just have more choice regarding choice of instances and communities, and blocking.

If you want to become more accepting of other peoples view points, be mindful of your own prejudices, automated thoughts, classifications, and emotional responses. Consider perspective switches, or considering the value of different views in general.

There are different kinds of cults. Cult is a different thing from religion. It doesn’t belong on the same axis. But we can continue the thought if we define it as religious cult.

The scale is about excessive binding, control, rituals, restrictions, belief systems. If the left is the extreme, then towards the right we have weaker restrictions upon the belief system. The belief becomes weaker, and the beliefs do not have to restrict other and own people’s activities and beliefs.

Religion in the middle makes no sense. It should be the label on the scale. “Religious extremism” or similar. Maybe narrow, restrictive, totalitarian.

I don’t know specific terminology for the right side. Maybe open or unrestrictive practice of religion.

Käse (Germany)

I wonder what it’s called in Austria

So many things. Most things seem designed against humans instead of for them. Most are designed to supposedly look pretty, when I’m someone looking for content and information. Those are often hidden. Add to that malpractice, misleading, and lying.

Isn’t leaving it in the nose even worse? 😱

I do. Not very often, but not super rare either.

It can help when I’m miserable, as a form of emotional release.

Mainly on anime for me, I guess, largely because that’s what I watch most. I don’t think I’ve felt that emotional on other film media.

The most recent anime that touched me was Ave Mujica: The Die Is Cast.

Be offsite. No pizza parties in the break room.

I’m curious what makes you say so? Physical distance? Setting change? Distance to work, physically and mentally?

I would want to accommodate all kinds of people and situations.

• Off-work activities should be optional - technically and practically (no or little social pressure)
• On-work activities should be optional, possibly with a little push depending on goals and hoped for gains, and be introduced with context of what they are useful for or intended for

Due to personality and consequential social anxiety, I’m more sensitive than most people. If there’s open communication and accommodation to all parties, and a shared goal, it should be possible to find a good way.

Activities may be for team-building, to visit places for reference, or other activities that may have more or less direct usefulness for projects.

If it’s an on-work-hour activity, I don’t think there’s a need for alternative compensation. Either you join or do your normal work.

Off-hour work has a more informal tone and should have more distance from concrete projects.

I don’t think a movie can be “really bad” only because of a voicing, so it also can’t be elevated to good with just a voice. There are too many other factors into what makes - or for me goes into - a good or bad or really bad movie. Even when a voicing can ruin a good or very good movie.

They do have significant influence, though. Germany has a very strong dubbing industry, but I still prefer EN original voicing. And for JP anime, I much prefer original JP voicing. It makes a big difference.

I can’t say I have seen and heard many in both forms, but only very rarely do I like/find equally good or prefer the dub. There are good ones. But in the wide industry, I find them largely sub-par.

Maybe there’s more difference between different languages and societies compared to what you were asking. But I think they go into the same theme/aspect.

I’m one of a kind. Does that count?

Does it make a difference if they’re indistinguishable? With filter bubbles and echo chambers, it feels like maybe it doesn’t matter what percentage is bots. Use the usual moderation tools for decency.

You could switch from the Subscribed filter/view to All.

Heart Attack or suicide. My mother and her father died from heart issues, not late in their lives.

An industry develops, especially in poor societies and those without a good justice system where people of imminent death are kept (brain-)“alive” in a coma, and get sold as burning material for industry (factories and various production), engines like for big ships, and booby-traps in conflict zones.
