People will all change. In the past, I strongly opposed my wife's purchase of luxury goods, such as LV handbags. And we even quarreled because of such matters. Looking back now, it really wasn't necessary at all. So, people's concepts will indeed change.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

MODERATORS
LV handbags (or anything they make) are so gaudy and broadcast a certain airheadedness that I'd also struggle to see my spouse buy those. But you're right, it doesn't make any difference in the bigger scale of things.

The contemporary disdain for postmodernism was a Psy op designed to completely destroy philosophy from the inside. And the supposed replacements for post modernism (metamodernism or whatever) were just pop culture millennial distractions that just took attention away from the philosophical issues of the inadequacies of language and crisis of our communications systems. We became stuck in limbo. Cultural conversation dumbed down by useless culture wars articulated in low attention span pop culture commentary and therapy speak.

Techno killing all the other music genres + its not underground anymore! It's not combining techno with house or trance, but making techno tracks with some house/trance elements in it. Not to mention that since it was played in big festivals, it lost its label underground.

Systemd is a pile of shit that is actively ruining Linux.
Ketchup has no place in the world except to cover the taste of spoiled meat.
Especially in the US, a third of the bottle is sugar. Hot dogs? Put ball park mustard on it, the spices in the mustard complement the dog.
Ketchup is a fascist condiment. You start with a little, then it drowns out and dominates everything you put it on and all you’re left with is a sugary tomatoey bullshit taste in your mouth.

The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (not Sonic the Hedgehog/SatAM) cartoon 4 year old version of Tails is absolute peak Tails.
As a pretty big Tails fan, I really like this very childish Tails who has little to no filter when he speaks, sometimes.
Have yet to play forces, but I've seen the cutscene where Tails calls out for Sonic's help and I absolutely love it because it reminds me of that cartoon version of Tails who at times is just absolutely helpless and needs Sonic to come rescue him.
