@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Well I think its stupid. It doesn’t fool me (even if some ideas I find “okay” and “acceptable”, and others I find questionable at best). Using too many words is frankly inefficient and just confusing, I actually think of people that cannot speak concisely and clearly (as you put it) as not confident in what they’re saying, or just non-articulate in the first place.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci But you get underwater views 🤣 That has to be worth millions right? 😅

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci So.. Glad we’re talking about something I can relate to, instead of the “man” (which I care little for really). So tell me… Let’s assume for a moment that an answer to a question would be met with so many words you don’t know what the answer was at all. Why? Why do this? Is this a stereotype of academics and philosophers? If so, it’s not a very straight-forward way of thinking, let alone answering a simple question.

There are people in academia who believe adult men should be able to have sex with children, legally, too

That’s disgusting. I take great offense to this. Don’t ever let me meet such persons 🤣

@shreyan@twtxt.net Haha nice 👌

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Good Evening 👋

@shreyan@mstdn.social That would be nice 👌

@shreyan@twtxt.net Cool 👌

Bah humbug 😢 Won a doubles and singles but then lost two singles 🤦‍♂️

I just heard an interaction between two young kids and I think I heard the word “like” about 30 times in the space of a couple of minutes ! 😱🤦‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Brilliant 😆

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no I won one very exciting match in the end, where I really kicked ass and played really well 👌

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Oh maybe I got this slightly, wrong, but yes 100% 💯

@chunkimo@twtxt.net Also in terms of your desire to write another UI/UX for Yarn.social in some other language, you basically just need to follow the specs. I can help you with this, you can basically come up with whatever UI/UX you want in whatever language you want. The only requirement is that you stick to the specs and extensions we developed which you can find documented at https://yarn.social/ 👌

@thejuicemedia@feeds.twtxt.net This is fucking brilliant ! 👌😆

@chunkimo@twtxt.net Thank you so much ! 🙇‍♂️

I’m saying thank you to you 😆

I wish we could all talk about things at an intellextual level rather than devolving to the worst in us 🤦‍♂️

It’s far more productive to talk about the ideas rather than the person that presented those ideas 👌

There’s a football saying:

Talk about the ball not the player

@chunkimo@twtxt.net Same to you too 🙏

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Until you piped in and backed some of my own arguments about taking ideas of others and discussing the good parts for the merits they deserve I was feeling a init disappointed l 😢 So Thank You! 🙇‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks! 🙇‍♂️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yay! Tadpole seasons! 😅 Soon you’ll have a bazillion frogs 🤣

@shreyan@twtxt.net Yeah I agree, sadly though I’ve kind of learned (the hard way) that you cannot really have genuine open and honest discussions that even are even a wee bit touchy or controversial on any medium, not even in real life. The interactions between myself and a few others over the past few days makes me very sad, sad to the point where I genuinely think that building Yarn.social was a waste of time, because fundamentally it can never promote free speech, free ideas and good discussions. Why? Because we (as humans) are not capable of this. 🤦‍♂️

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Same, but this weekend I’ll be playing table tennis all weekend, so not much time to relax 😅

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Nice! 👌

Got up early today ~5:45am – Getting ready to play in the Brisbane Open Table Tennis 🏓 tournament (Sat and Sun) 👌

@chunkimo@twtxt.net I’m not sure about the addiction to be honest 🤔

@chunkimo@twtxt.net Haha 🤣

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah, and it looks like (correct me if I’m wrong) his discussions women, sophisticated women and comparisons to property crimes is quite recent. As a clinical psychologist (which is is) I can understand and pick apart what he’s saying from a psychological point of view, the problem is its rather provoking and I don’t quite agree with it. I think it’s easy to take Jordan Peterson out of context here, and maybe we are? – I feel like he should have chosen his words a bit better here. I’m quite confident that if you asked him directly “do you support rape”, or “is rape ok” he would flat out say no. I’m a bit on the fence on this one just because of his background and how complex language can be to convey.

@chunkimo@twtxt.net By all means! 🙏 What I meant by “boring” is we (as a community) aren’t really interested in emulating anything like Twitter/Mastodon/etc A lot of the principles of what we’ve built are laid out in [About Yarn.social[(https://yarn.social/about.html)

@xuu@txt.sour.is Hmmm that’s a pretty stupid argument to make 😱 Who da fuq would you sell your homes or even whole islands to that are now under water?! 🤦‍♂️

@chunkimo@twtxt.net Oh hahaha, sadly there are no addictive algoriss at play here, nothing being shoved in your face, no ads, no tracking, blah blah blah. Pretty boring fully decentralised pure microBlogging at its best with enough “modern” feature you kind of expect 👌

For example, he talks about “shophistied women” and how “having prior positive relationships” with other men (fathers, brothers) are more likely to express their strong “no” stange to pushy men. He might be talking purely from a psychological standpoint at this point, but geez, he really should have just said outright from the start “rape is wrong” (or something) and been a bit more careful with his words.

I also don’t need “men” to tell me that rape is wrong ffs 🤦‍♂️

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Okay, your point on strange (borderline dangerous) ideas on “rape” are spot on. I found this video and comentrary (sadly which was more annoying than helpful). As someone with much experience with sexual abuse, etc, I find his views on this to be umm how shall I put this. Suptid?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Here, “vaccination” status was never asked for, noe once. Had to do all the “paperwork” and such, but yeah it just all fell apart pretty damn quickly.

@chunkimo@twtxt.net Well welcome 🤗 – And sorry about the debate/discussion I’m having some other folks on some “internet characters” I’ve recently come across. I may be misinformed, but I’ll have to do my research to be sure. Anyway welcome 🤗

I just want one clear example, just one, where either of these two (ghouls as you put it) said anything about or anything in support of rape. Obviously I don’t think Rape is OK, any sensible person would never think that rape is ok. I don’t.

@chunkimo@twtxt.net Eh? 🤔

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I’m not defending btw. I’m merely asking questions. I clearly don’t have the experiences and background you seem to have on these individuals.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Thanks I’ll look into this. But you’ve forgive me if I don’t just take your word for it. I’ve only just come across him recently, so I’ll do my research.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Sorry not inclined to do what?

And yeah I will read those articles (bookmarked your Twt), but not at 1am 🤣

@chunkimo@twtxt.net We did, the whole community over many years nos (since July 2020).

This very thread is honestly really proof that we cannot have a civilised debate, discussion or even argument about anything.

Oh! Wow. How did we go from having a debate/discussion to this? 🤔 /ne sigh

In fact, why are we even criticising these individuals in the first place?! 🤦‍♂️ Why don’t we instead stalk about some of the ideas they present and argument they make and talk about those? 🤔 Do you for example disagree or feel differently in one way or another with Dr. Peterson’s strong felt belief that we should be honest with ourselves and hold ourselves accountable? Let’s start there…

Okay, so Dr. Peterson has a problem with the movie “Frozen” because of the he believes it to be “reprehensible propaganda” and that when he did see the film he left feeling a strong sense it was produced for ideological reasons, an anti-sleeping beauty.

He then goes on to proclaim that he like the movie Mohan for a different set of reasons.

So what’s the problem here? Where or how or why did you say he has a “beef with female-led anything works of function” (which seems to be a rather broad statement to make.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net Okay, now you’re making me get out of bed at 1am to watch this video, Do you happen to have a timestamp or should I just watch the whole thing? 😅

@funbreaker@twtxt.net Yes sure but where did he ever say he has or had a beef with female-led anything in works of fiction?

@funbreaker@twtxt.net Where did he say that?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de We here in QLD Australia dropped our trading app some time ago. It was useless 🤦‍♂️

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Taking Jordan Peterson asn an example, the only thing he “preaches” (if you want to call it that) is to be honest with yourself and to take responsibility. I’m not sure how and why this is a bad thing to take? 🤔

Ben/Matt are a bit more controversial in their debates about biological facts and have problems with people changing the meaning of words on a “whim”.

And Pierce is just a comical entertainment TV show host (or was) that just like to get into debates and ask sensible questions.
