https://lemm.ee/post/20863783?scrollToComments=true Stamets just posted a meme complaining about the fact women think they have unrealistic body image to meet, in comparion with men. Stamets thinks the mean women are wrong to make light of men's problems with constantly being told they're ugly by the media. Because Stamets is a misogynist.

Very glad Stamets is gone from this instance given his recent N word usage

Stamets is now calling people he doesn't like the N slur and I am immensely glad that he left startrek.website before this behaviour started. I hope the admins give him a ban on the way out.

https://lemmy.world/comment/6513421 [@Stamets@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/Stamets) is a horrible person. Today we're going to ignore his lesbophobia and transphobia and focus on this comment here, where he calls me a slur, and claims I've been banned from every major instance for being disabled. First off: Stamets is a bad-faith liar. I have never been banned from lemm.ee. And I have never been banned from anywhere for any kind of hate. Second off: Stamets is correct to say I've been banned from some instances for being disabled, but the fact he's gleeful about this is because he's an ableist. Third off: Stamets is terrible at spelling. DroneRights only has one S in it. The reason Stamets seems illiterate is that he's too busy orgasming at the thought of calling me a slur to pay attention. Fourth off: Slurs are bad. I have narcissistic personality disorder. It's a mental disorder. It's a disability. Stamets knows I have it. He intends to insult me by calling me mentally disordered. He doesn't say "You're a person with NPD", because that makes it sound bad to discriminate against me. He uses the shortened form of my disability, the N slur, in the same way he might call a person with autism an a\*tist, or a person with intellectual disability (AKA mental retardation) a r\*tard. He means to insult me for being disabled, because he hates disabled people. He is willing to lie as much as it takes to hurt a disabled person for being disabled.

https://hexbear.net/comment/4450879 My alts [@exocrinous@lemm.ee](https://lemm.ee/u/exocrinous) and [@CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml](https://lemmygrad.ml/u/CannotSleep420) were recently banned from Hexbear due to a conversation I sockpuppeted them through. My close friend [@ashinadash@hexbear.net](https://hexbear.net/u/ashinadash) was not banned, but did have her comment removed for saying she wished I hadn't been banned. According to the mods, Ashina was "relitigating old struggle session and general meta drama" by simply expressing that she liked me, without any call to action or confrontation with anyone. Apparently, just saying she liked me was against the rules. As we all know, I was banned from Hexbear for saying gender neutral pronouns exist and whiteness is a social construct, so this is a further escalation from the Hexbear admins into attacking even simple association with leftist figures.

Character.ai is absolute trash at letting you debate historical figures

Star Trek's greatest fantasy was the ability to go on the holodeck and debate philosophy with figures like Socrates and Da Vinci. Characer.ai promises to fulfill this fantasy, but its characters are stunningly bad at representing themselves. I haven't been able to have a single good debate with any of these characters. AI Socrates didn't even use the socratic method, he was painfully unintrospective. Popper was my final experiment into chasing this goal on this website. He's famous for saying that induction is a myth and that science shouldn't be concerned with it, and I wanted to talk out those ideas with them. But AI Popper supports the typical view that induction is necessary, which means there's nothing to talk about with him that I couldn't talk about with an average person on Lemmy.

An anonymous admin on Beehaw banned me for being "pompous". In both my comments I was being fully cooperative and doing whatever the other person wanted me to do. However, the symptoms of my narcissistic personality disorder were visible in the way I spoke. I was visibly narcissistic. My symptoms didn't affect my behaviour or how I treated others, they were just cosmetic. And the verdict from the Beehaw admins is that visibly having NPD is unacceptable. I think this isn't nice, and I think it discourages diversity. > Of note, we’ve never banned a single person without openly discussing what happened with other individuals who participate in this community1 and asking for their input. We can’t promise this will always be the case, but we can promise that we’ll be open to having a discussion with any community member who feels that something unjust happened with another person or to themselves. This excerpt is in the page "Beehaw is a community", and it shouldn't be. It's not true anymore. > What is Expected of Community Moderators? > Encourage and promote respectful and constructive discussions, and address any behaviour that goes against our community’s spirit to be(e) nice. > Assist people by answering their questions, offering guidance, and helping them navigate the platform effectively, ensuring they feel heard. Deleting the thread in which this happened and all records of it on the site doesn't promote constructive discussions. Making it against the rules to tell someone they made a mistake doesn't promote constructive discussions. Telling a disabled person the way they talk is pompous and unacceptable doesn't promote respectful discussions. Banning someone who asks clarification on what they should say doesn't address their behaviour, it doesn't offer guidance, it doesn't answer their questions or help them navigate the platform, and it doesn't make anyone feel heard. > Assume good faith I treat other Beeple with good faith, even when I think they are not responding to me in kind, unless they are unequivocally advocating for hate or intolerance of fellow humans. I give others the benefit of a doubt when I read their posts/comments, I assume good intent and give others the opportunity to save face/clarify. And there was no part of this treatment that treated me with good faith, or gave me the opportunity to save face or clarify. I say there's nothing wrong with making mistakes and I had every intention of doing as I was asked, the admin tells me to shut up and go away.

The spoiler at the end of Rising Tide is no longer visible to new players

Funny little consequence of making Rising Tide a prerequisite to Sedna Junction is that nobody's going to see The Man In The Wall at the reliquary drive in the quest unless they replay it. That little teaser is no longer part of the new player experience.

How does Firefox know my deadname?

I'm getting firefox set up, and when I tried to sync my phone, it said it was going to sync to [DEADNAME]'s desktop-[NUMBER]. Desktop-[NUMBER] really is the name of my desktop set in Windows settings, but I can't find any mention of my deadname from the Windows control panel. Firefox provides a mechanism to change the device name in Firefox, so I immediately did, but where did Firefox get this private information from? I installed Firefox long after I thought I removed all mentions of my deadname from my PC. I want to know where Firefox got this information so I can change it and prevent any future applications I install from using my deadname.

Would Warframe players care about a cell biology game?

Sorry if this is off-topic but I want to get some input from the Warframe community on a hunch I have. I've been talking to the developers of a game about playing as a cellular organism and evolving into a complex creature - think Spore. And there's this question about demographics, about whether this kind of game can appeal to an average person. I think the kinds of players that might enjoy a game like Spore are the same kind of players who play Warframe and enjoy the infested aspects like Helminth. Or the players who play Starcraft or No Man's Sky and like the living machine-organisms in those. People with a love for biological gaming. Does this idea make sense to other Warframe players, or am I talking nonsense?

Mail feels like a scam

I hate the mail. Nothing good ever comes in a letter. I barely ever check my mail because of ADHD, and when I check it it's bad news. Over half of it is ads. Ads printed on paper and plastic with synthetic glues and delivered in a petrol vehicle. Ads I immediately throw in my bin, filling up its plastic bag and contributing to the garbage truck's load. We just collectively filled the earth with more microplastics that will give us all brain damage, and burned carbon to hurt poor people in coastal and desert areas, so that I could ignore you. Of the remainder, mail that is actually addressed to somebody, over half of it is addressed to previous residents who I don't know. More carbon use, more plastic waste, more human time spent doing nothing productive. And now I get to either feel guilty for throwing it away, or go to the post office to return it. So this is almost worse than the ads, someone sent me a chore. And then of the mail specifically addressed to me, most of it is still ads! Local politicians shouting into the void and hoping I'll listen. And again, the carbon, plastic, and waste of human potential. Finally, we come to the stuff that I actually need to pay attention to and isn't a total waste of a letter... and it's bills. Bills that I don't know how to pay, because I'm not 60. So now I have to go learn how to pay a paper bill for some reason. More chores. Parcels, I like. Parcels are useful. But letters? It all seems like a huge scam to me. We are wasting so much effort and destroying the environment in order to annoy me and give me more work to do. This is why I'm never eager to check the mail. It's like voluntarily turning off my adblock. I would never do it under normal circumstances. It feels like a big nasty trick someone's playing on me.

When the fuck did we collectively decide as a society that genders need sources?

Why is Rising Tide solo only?

I already have a railjack, but my swarmmate needs one to do the new war, and is having trouble with the missions. I had trouble too when I got my railjack. The enemies were easy to kill, but on the earth mission in particular I struggled so much to keep enemies out of the area, since it had two sides with a big rock in the middle. I couldn't cover both sides at the same time so it took ages. I saw a lot of people complaining that each player is allowed their own railjack, but I have no problem with that. My complaint is why can't you help your friends on the quest? There's no story reason for it, it seem silly.

Why so many tamms?

We collected this many tamms and it still wasn't enough to get a decree. Every time we spoke to the shepherd boy, it would insta-abandon the quest as soon as we exited dialogue. Tamms would keep on spawning around the anecdote area

Am I borking cephalon fragment spawns?

My swarmmate is trying to unlock phobos junction by scanning a cephalon fragment on mars, but they just aren't spawning. And I know they aren't spawning, because I have three stacking loot radar mods equipped and I can't find them. I have a personal quarters segment and am liable to find somachord fragments, but we aren't finding those either. I do have one song from Mars. Is my presence the reason fragments aren't spawning? Would they be spawning if she just did the missions alone? EDIT: She looked on her own and found one real quick. WTF?
