Pretty sure they’re .gsheet

I saw Exiled

Thanks for finding that stuff! Yeah I suppose that “everyone was guilty of something” line just didn’t age well for me. You’re right that Vimes is certainly no fascist, especially given the other events in Night Watch.

“… A great, rolling sea of evil. Shallow in some parts, yes, but deeper… oh, so much deeper in others. But men like you build these little rafts out of rules and vaguely good intentions and you say ‘This is the opposite. This will triumph in the end.’ Fascinating.”

-Vetinari to Vimes

Paraphrased from the top of my head haha sorry if I’ve mucked it up. God what a character Vimes is. I do believe he also quoted guilty of thinking something like “everyone is guilty of something if you could only find out what,” so maybe not a paragon of privacy in every iteration but a fantastic character nonetheless. Certainly gotta be among the best cops in fiction, considering he also nearly won a sort of people’s revolution haha.

Idk, if all the discussion on Lemmy was ‘damn this place sucks’ then I wouldn’t want to share it with my friends. Maybe it is just a bad take though lol I’m not feeling too hot on it reading it back now

The smugness can be a bit annoying but I interpret it as mostly jokes and healthy for the growth of the platform. I am enjoying myself more here than on Reddit, and when I see that others share that sentiment (smugly or not), it does embolden me to encourage my friends to give Lemmy a try.

I like a few of these communities, and I’ve had some nice conversations on some things I’m passionate about. But it seems like the population outside my small communities is dominated by violent wanna-be political activists competing for who can express the most outrageous sentiment.

Advocating against violence against one’s parents in a hypothetical situation where a parent developed the wrong US politics not only got me downvoted, but also replied to by some asshole from Australia who wanted to rub it in that I was clearly in the out-group.

I don’t normally reply when I see things like that, but after seeing so much vitriol I felt the need to leave a comment. I won’t be doing it again.

True. A few years ago I started watching old JRE videos and enjoyed them, but when I started watching the videos as they came out, I found the show sucked because Rogan wasn’t just platforming people anymore, he was actively pushing his own beliefs because he’d become convinced he was an expert on everything.

The show isn’t for nuanced political discussion lol
