Looks like I struck a nerve! Go on, keep making a fool of yourself, it's quite entertaining :P

Well, you utterly failed at doing so, didn't proofread your insult, and made a fool of yourself. Great job!

Oh come on, at least spell it correctly if you're gonna try and insult someone's intelligence.

Gratitude hasn't killed any billionaires or shareholders, nor is it bringing down costs or stopping the rise of fascism right now.

Plastic surgery in particular can become straight up addictive to some people with body image issues. As an example, it led Pete Burns of the band Dead or Alive to have over 300 surgeries, some of which were botched and led to severe health issues. He still kept doing it right up until his death.

I used to watch AXP and still watch Matt Dillahunty every now and then. It really is wild how shocked and offended most of the callers get when they actually face resistance and are told to back up their beliefs with evidence. None ever can.

Just like most religious folk, they didn't actually read their own holy book. Just whatever was cherrypicked and spoonfed to them by their religious leaders.

Why on earth would I go to Hexbear when I've already made it pretty clear I have a strong distaste for .ml? Hexbear is full of the very same pro-authoritarian types and that instance has an awful reputation for brigading and harassing communities. I've seen this myself the numerous times they attempted to federate with other instances, my own included. No thanks.

The fact they don't list dissent or criticism of China/Russia as being bannable in the rules is one of the bigger problems. They will just ban you for Rule 1 or 2, neither of which have anything to do with that and leaving banned users scratching their heads wondering what they did wrong. Meanwhile to the other .mls, it just looks like the devs banned someone for a "legitimate" reason because the devs will leave a comment painting the banned user's comment in that light.

Example: User "BillyBobJones" expresses a dislike of China's genocide of the Uyghur Muslims. Dessalines or Davel will quickly ban BillyBobJones under Rule 1 or 2 for, say, "racism". Then they will leave a comment under the deleted comment accusing BillyBob of saying something racist and saying that's why BillyBob was banned. Unless an .ml user bothers to check the modlogs, they won't know what BillyBob actually said and will praise Dessalines/Davel for removing a racist. Dissenter removed, echo chamber reinforced.

Of course knot.
