You are a person who has had comments removed specifically for trolling. Pointing that out is not against the rules, thanks bud!
You do love arguing things that aren’t even being discussed. They were removed for “trolling”. That means you were trolling, not some abstract higher order conversation. Just like the other recent violations for rule 4 and civility. This is not up for interpretation, it is fact that you were found to be doing these things.
Again, you shirk responsibility at every chance.
I didn’t decline to mention anything - the comments are moderated independently of each other, and it just so happened they decided both of you were trolling. Try and take responsibility for your behavior at the very least.
Actually in most places it was however the person wished to be listed and often included full first names and sometimes middle initials. Or could sometimes be a couple like “John and Mary Doe”
I don't have to explain anything to you.
No one has ever demanded you explain anything to them here. They may have asked, but your frankly ridiculous comment count is totally the result of you either offering explanations that don’t ring true, or copy/pasting ad nauseum replies to things that have not been posed to you.
And so yes, by definition, you are playing games. (i.e. denying you have been trolling and were moderated for it in just the last few days) You can try and explain that away, but it doesn’t change the facts about your behavior.
Oh, well, if we’re playing the game where other people get to decide what your intent was, then it’s only fair for me to say you’re a dishonest troll who never engages in good faith and has harmful motivations.
And before you report me for calling you a troll, you’re the one who decided to take my statement of intent, ignore it, and state I was saying the exact opposite. If we don’t get to be the authority on your motivations and intent, you don’t get to do that to others.
Sorry bud, but that was less a shoutout, and more like pointing at someone or something that can cause harm and calling it out to others as a warning.
Yes, I said I know. Your lack of empathy has been well demonstrated, no need to belabor it.
But your planned actions as stated will benefit him, as has already been explained to you by dozens of people. But no worries, bud - I know you don’t care. And that speaks volumes about you and your motivations.
Well, you could be sane and be worried about this sort of thing, or you could be OP who has repeatedly said they don’t care what happens if Trump is elected.
Oh good, you do know how to read the modlog! Great job, bud! Just wanted to make sure.
So you do admit that you troll sometimes? And since moderation is imperfect, the implication is that you’ve trolled more often than you’ve been moderated for. I wonder what the ratio is? Maybe you could provide some insight into how much more often? That would probably help the mods calibrate any needed changes for the good of the community. Wow, you and me helping the greater good! Huzzahs all around!
And again, I don't care if you think I'm a troll. I know I'm not. The mods here know I'm not.
Hmm, are you sure about that? https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveComment&userId=9454261
I count five comments removed in just the past two days and three of those are specifically for trolling. I think that probably means the mods know you’re trolling. If you’re not willing to acknowledge that, I would suggest that factor into their adjudication of future complaints about your behavior.
Recommend starting off on some of his short story collections and if you like those, there’s a good chance you’ll like at least some of his novels. I’ve been reading most of his stuff for 40 years and have pretty much enjoyed all of his work. His endings can be iffy and he tends to sometimes feel a little tropey, but the writing itself is often enjoyable to read and solid. His book on writing called appropriately “On Writing” is excellent and great for understanding the writing process either as someone who wants to write or as a reader who wants to better be able to think about what they like to read and why.
Luckily, Spanish already has the perfect word: Toxicos. Which just means toxic men. I think I may just sub that in whenever referring to the state :)
This _ might_ be the dumbest take I’ve ever seen. Clearly someone made up their mind to hate Valve and everything they see just confirms their existing biases, reality be dammed.
Maybe if de la Cruz was actually serious, they should actually be campaigning? They have eleven events over the next month (the last month before the election) and eight of them are in California (which is useless to her other than that sweet, sweet fundraising). One event in Oregon, one in Wisconsin, and one in Arizona (where she’s not even on the ballot or registered for write-ins).
Obviously back who you want, but complaining about major party candidates while backing people who can’t even be bothered to put the work into run is a strange decision.
Unfortunately that kind of thing is probably only going to increase as we get closer to Election Day.
Yeah, pretty sure he replied to the wrong comment again 🤣
Oh, there’s definitely blame to go around, but not holding Trump to at least some standard would be compounding the mistakes of the past.
No one can argue someone else out of being a Trump supporter, but I still believe there’s a chance to justifiably mock him enough to maybe change some minds. If more coverage focused on how laughably batshit insane he was instead of “ooh, look, he’s not following convention and he’s breaking the rules” it would help a lot. His lot can’t abide weaknesses and he’s definitely weak.
“Federal Election Commission records show Stein paid $100,000 in July to a consulting outfit that has worked with Republican campaigns, as well as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential bid. The firm, Accelevate, is operated by Trent Pool. The Intercept reported that he appeared to be part of the mob that breached the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6., 2021. The Journal hasn’t independently verified the reporting.”
In disjointed Washington speech, nominee tells audience low numbers are because of ‘the Democrat curse on you’
> Donald Trump has complained bitterly to Jewish donors that a majority of Jews vote against him in US presidential elections, suggesting that the Democratic party has a “curse on you”.
This is more Laura Loomer bullshit, isn’t?
> “Republican vice presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance said Wednesday that Haitian migrants with legal immigration status are “illegal aliens” who have been unlawfully protected from deportation, suggesting that would change if Trump wins the election.”
Articles like this remind me of how absolutely fucked we are if these assholes win.
With membership at new lows and no electoral wins to their name, it’s time for the Greens to ditch the malignant narcissist who’s presided over its decline.

The legislation would require ranked choice voting in all congressional primary and general elections starting in 2028.
> Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD-08) and Congressman Don Beyer (VA-08) renewed their efforts to bring ranked choice voting to U.S. congressional elections, reintroducing their *Ranked Choice Voting Act *. Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) is introducing companion legislation in the Senate. > > The legislation would require ranked choice voting (RCV) in all congressional primary and general elections starting in 2028, allowing voters to express support for multiple candidates for public office, with the candidate receiving the most votes declared the winner.
Asked how many members of the House of Reps there were, Stein guessed 600
“Asked how many members of the House of Reps there were, Stein guessed 600-some before hosts corrected her.”
The operative, Jefferson Thomas, might seem like an unlikely ally for Green Party stalwart Jill Stein.
"According to FEC filings, the Synapse Group has worked for Republican Governor Doug Burgum of North Dakota, who ran for the GOP presidential nomination this cycle, as well as GOP candidates for Congress. Synapse has also been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for field and canvassing work by America PAC, the outside spending group started by allies of Musk that has spent millions of dollars this election cycle to boost Trump and oppose Democrats."
A new report reveals the pro-Trump group Lions of Judah is quietly installing poll workers in swing states.
A group called “Lion of Judah,” led by self-described Republican opposition researcher Joshua Standifer, is traveling the nation to recruit Christians to “key positions of influence in government like Election Workers.”
In light of at least someone around here announcing that they were switching from supporting the Green Party to the Socialist Worker Party, I thought it would be helpful to provide an introduction to the kinds of things that party believes in. This is offered straight from the party's official website without additional comment and it stands to reason that this viewpoint is endorsed by their presidential candidate Rachele Fruit.

Robert Reich articulated something that has been bouncing around my head since 2016
A new report reveals that operatives with Republican ties are trying to help Cornel West get on the ballot.
>”This helps take away votes from Joe Biden,” the activist told one person at the rally, according to a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) by a Washington Post reporter. “We’re helping the Trump team who’s trying to get him on there,” added a woman by his side.
