  • But I refuse to use Discord

    I beg your finest pardon? Bro. I mean I refuse to use Facebook, but that’s because I always thought it was a superfluous app for narcissists that turned pretty much immediately into a business ad platform, which was precisely the opposite of what it was intended to be originally, (also, “Fuck Mark Zuckerberg.”) so I have legit reasons, but what do you have against Discord? It’s just a modern version of ICQ with some QoL features. o_0?



  • Is your server a whitelist?

    Yes

    If so, why? How do you expect people to join? For example I don’t like that myself

    1. Because we are 18+, and an open whitelist is how you end up with a server full of griefers.
    2. Join our Discord! Search for “A Sharp Miner.”
    3. Regarding your distaste for whitelists, that may be a “you” problem…

    There are plugins that protect servers and you can rollback any griefing or whatever from a bad user

    True, however our admin “team” is just one guy in his 50’s doing this as a hobby, so, this is more of a “healthy boundaries/time management” thing.

    The issue is that the powers that be did learn their lesson and they learned it well. If you keep the masses JUST sufficient enough that they still have something “to lose” they’ll be to busy chasing that to be able to mount any kind of resistance to their exploitation. It’s the splash and dash mentality. It’s also why they are so against abortion. they frame it as a moral issue, but it’s really about ensuring a good crop of fresh people to exploit when the current crop wears out. It’s a common fascist tactic: Concentration Camps were usually billed as “work” camps where people would be set to menial or meaningless tasks, so they would waste away on purpose, and the deaths could be logged as “by natural causes” and not murder. (only what the regime defined as “undesirables” were sent to be euthanized.)

    Competing Lords owned the land and extracted labor from the peasants, and this was feudalism. Then peasants overthrew the lords so they could seek ownership of those lands, but that only benefited those who already had the means to fill the vacuum left by the lords. Capitalism only shuffles the deck of Feudalism. it doesn’t solve the underlying flaw in the game, namely that there will always be someone with more means than you extracting value from people whose only asset to sell is their labor and time. Eventually a group of gentrified individuals will emerge that fill the rolls that the old lords did, and given that nepotism is rampant in industry, it’s not even really that different at all from feudalism. The idea that a CEO should be president of a democracy is such a perversion of the idea of public rule that it is anathema to it. Extreme wealth should be disenfranchising in of itself, as if you are that wealthy, you no longer need the protections of a popular government, but rather, you are what that kind of governance is supposed to be protecting against.








  • Brothers and sisters in christ, in this, the year of our lord two thousand and twenty six WHY THE EVERLOVING HELL ARE EATING DISORDERS STILL A THING?!?! There should be enough celebrity push back on these warped managers and available information about this on the internet to shut down their body shaming bullshit, FFS. Get this chick dinner with Queen Latifah and Sir Mix A Lot STAT. Fried okra, red beans & rice, and some collard greens should do the trick me thinks.
