I can't help but wonder what you did to piss off @thepholosopher, given the other two people on her mute list. I could understand if it were the other way round, all things considered. The same goes for @marshmellowman, since you're the only person he's muted, though I don't follow him, so I don't really know what he's about. The other two have quite long lists of muted people, so that's not something you should take personally.
I may have to find out who's muted me! I have a feeling I already know one name I'm going to find on that list!
Could be any number of things and could be nothing.
Someone accused me of being a marxist on twitter recently even though my profile clearly says my day job is as a marketing director.
I've been accused of trying to take folks' guns away in a thread containing a video of me at the gun range.
People see what they want to see :)
I have been quite open about the fact that I wear an N95 mask and am vaccinated, due to the fact I have a bunch of vulnerable people I can't risk. That and my dislike for Q/45/flat-earth/incels/white nationalists/etc means I piss off a lot of people just as a regular daily thing and there is nothing I can do about that.
Probably the most hate I got was when I said I didn't see a problem with female space marines, though.
Oh dear, you don't have a problem with female space marines? Neither do I, even though I'm willing to acknowledge that goes against the lore... well, the current lore, anyway, since 40K's fluff is wildly inconsistent. I may have to watch myself, but then, I'm Necron player, so why should I care?
I can certainly sympathise with the idea that people see what they want to. False dichotomies make it easier to dehumanise the "other." Communists see me as a science-denying creationist, and creationists see me as a godless communist, even though neither of those things are true (well, the "godless" part is true). It gets wearisome after a while.
Ha yep the other day someone said I was a centrist as an insult, I think they actually meant "decides based on the specific issue and the currently available evidence around it" and that was too long to write ;)
The with us or against us team-sport/tribal stuff will be the end of humanity I am sure!
A centrist, you say? Well, aren't you a filthy little fence-sitter! I jest, of course, but I'm a little more optimistic - "us vs them" tribalism has been around forever. If that sort of thinking were to end humanity, I think it would have happened by now. Every time something happens that seems like the end of the world, it too passes.
I like your attitude :)
This year I was supposed to keep positive and that lasted about ten minutes. It's probably social media/trad media amplification rather than anything real I see. Discord gets clicks a lot more than agreement!
It was strictly a mute back....not sure what i did for @makerhacks to mute me...maybe after i went an joined him for being in the same Canada room and liking and fallowing him based on a room he was in, commenting and voting his work.... I see value to what he is bring to the community as displayed by this post. I may just un-mute him. Or perhaps a finger slipped and a button was hit and it was never meant to go that way...i do not know what happened on his end.
Ill lat that stand there as i read down at more comments.....umm alright so @makerhacks says "That and my dislike for Q/45/flat-earth/incels/white nationalists/etc means I piss off a lot of people just as a regular daily thing and there is nothing I can do about that." Wow, so you know all about me and what i believe, i am not sure what you even mean by half of your list (45/incels/ ...) and i guess you know more about what i do not talk about then even i do. ....humm right alright so perhaps you should look the other way and not click on the memehive room....that would be personal responsibility. Something it seem you want to take way from other by wearing your mask....right check good boy. Ill un-mute you now because i can see value in differing of opinions and I will still learn from those that are supreme stuck in their ways not willing to hear others opinions after clicking on the page to open waiting to load read scroll read scroll and then get offended at the other. What a wonderful world.
