Ya. Honestly, I’m getting pretty close to being done with Lemmy at this point. The way to fight extremism is not with different extremism. Between the hyper purity test Leftists, and the AI=evil absolutists, it feels like there’s never any room for constructive discussion anymore. If I even ask a clarifying question about someone’s views, even one that I could potentially be swayed towards, the response always comes back as some variation of “You’re one of them aren’t you!”

You can’t really go applying modern expectations to the boundaries we associate with friend vs lover to a story that was written well over 40 years ago.

You shouldn’t. There’s no sin in ignorance, only the willful maintenance of it.

Ya. I’m with you actually. I didn’t even click that link because I was 100% sure it was the other way. I did stage crew a lot in highschool, and I specifically remember that it was explained that the audience is the most important party, so their left and right take precedent.

Thank you fellow theater kid. I didn’t realize an accurate explanation is worth so many down votes, but there you go…

Who dat on stage left?

Butt baby
