Btw Admiral Patrick has embedded Loops videos at https://tesseract.dubvee.org/c/loops@midwest.social. It's a full embed of the video, though not full integration of Loops as you were saying - e.g. there's no heart icon or comments, though he keeps adding more features to the embed like metadata display. Cool! 😎

You deserve an explanation as to why your cross-post of this was removed from !AskUSA@Discuss.Online: that instance has higher standards (though not quite Beehaw level) and we try to keep things "welcoming", thus we made our top community rule #1 to "be nice". And I felt that coming out swinging calling the whole country a "hellhole" went against that rule. I see that that is the top rule in this community as well, but I suppose there are differences in interpretation as to what that means.

Options from here: You may appeal to the head mod @m_f@discuss.online if you wish, as it does not strictly violate the rules of Discuss.Online itself. And/or you could re-phrase the title. Or you could even make a post asking for clarification of the rules/expectations - although note that this was already done recently and by far people seemed to express distaste for all the politics stuff, so we try to direct that to !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world instead. I've posted there myself in the last week, almost made another post there yesterday as well, and I highly recommend that community for things such as this. In fact, their sidebar text says that they love such self-posts of commentary, as opposed to like "news", and even "discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!"

So I get that you wanted to vent and discuss, and there absolutely are places to do that, I just wanted to protect the members of that community in particular from being constantly barraged with politics, bc as you seem to agree, dayum that shit gets old fast - it becomes overwhelming to so many of us to see all the BS that goes down almost daily now:-(. And maybe that's one way that we can deal, by placing limits on how often we have to think about it each day:-).

I love Josh Johnson! I hope to see him behind the chair in TDS soon.

Bc it's so far past that it has become its own thing. Like there's "mental illness", and then there's "Florida"!:-P

I would say that this is perfection, if it weren't for the simple fact that most states are in far more danger of Ohio than this shows... :-D

Profits.

It used to still be a worthwhile investment though. These days... it can be, but it's not guaranteed. You also can learn most things online for free, so what is it even getting for you, really?

Connections.

But that only if you are willing to push for them, and so many kids are only there purely bc their parents send them, like an extended daycare or continuation of high school. I'm not saying it's not worthwhile, but it requires a VERY serious commitment, and so many people are not willing to live up to that.

I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

Oh hell naw. I'm maintaining my sanity by letting Jon Stewart tell me all about it afterwards:-).

Roughly one year ago, you say? Gee, I wonder what could possibly have happened roughly one year ago, hrm? Can't really think of anything particularly memorable that happened roughly one year in the past... [them, OP and all the commenters]

So the law would demand it, but the "trust me bro, I got yo back" defense says to ignore what the law actually says?

Okay, I think I will.:-P
