I had a 3-month ban from a community once and had no idea until I did a mod log search on my own username about 6 months later.

Thinking back to how I could possibly have failed to even notice, I think it's just that kbin still displays the comments of banned kbin users so I was probably still getting interactions through that.

@007KeyLimePie welcome!

Discoverability takes a bit longer here. If you're looking to add content, then alongside the usual directories it's worth checking out the lists at https://kbin.social/magazines/collections

Moderation is transparent here.

Also, protip: if you're in a thread where everyone is raging about "libs" or "the liberals," on reddit that would indicate a conservative sub, but here there's a 99% chance they are communists or anarchists.

Then if he stops funding genocide and takes real measures to try to halt the Gaza genocide, he would then earn your vote?

You should probably also ask this in politics@lemmy.world.

It's an interesting case because studies have found that there are certain core issues where if a candidate doesn't match their stance on it, voters are unwilling to engage with that candidate's other policies.

Stuff like abortion, gun control. Genocide looks like one of those issues.

Poor war elephants. It must really suck.

Thank you. That's one of those quotes that opens a huge vista, almost like seeing a movie. Albeit a sad movie omg.

I'm glad they were not too cowed to become turbulent. The possibility of finding one's mother when wounded in battle is heartbreaking but they at least sometimes had each other.

I don't think cognitive processing without words is necessarily more abstract.

Arguably if you're processing concepts such as relative geographical location or how to cook a steak, spatial processing is at far less of a remove than converting it all over to words/symbols.

@laughterlaughter

Don’t hear anything like “shit, that’s a lot of money?! Where to start, where to start…”

No and it's amazing to me that you'd even be able to think of it in 20 seconds with all that chatter in your brain.

As I was reading your comment I could sort of hear parts of that, because it's you "speaking" to me, but as soon as I saw it the $10,000 imediately became a sort of conceptual bundle located in front of me, the 24h was like a moving spatial cycle thing and my brain was plotting possibilities based on how far I would have to travel (the ones falling inside the cycle are the do-able ones) and locating a whole lot of stuff branching out from my computer with short action times.

Also my brain had immediately reached to the right hand middle distance which is where it "keeps" investment advice. It had a quick dart to the far away centre-left and I had a flash/photorealistic image of home furnishings out there but rejected instantly as the tangled sense of moving parts between me and it meant the process toward them is complex and would take up too much of the 20 second processing time to even see if they would fit in the 24h cycle.

@southsamurai did the above comment make sense?

It's hard because we have to translate it to get it across -for me it feels a bit like being asked how do you know where your arms are relative to your body.

Me too. People like you are fascinating to me. When I first found out that everyone thinks differently I went around interrogating everyone I knew about how they think.

I don't have an interior monologue unless Im typing, but I sometimes use my internal "sound system" to play music.

How do you read silently to yourself? Seems like it would be harder and more noisy if you have to hear the whole thing.

Have to admit the number of people in here with full internal voices has made me realize why podcasts and long videos of youtubers talking are so popular.

I hate them because it's like spending 10 minutes to be drip fed 1 minute's worth of information.

I can taste in my head but there's a limited range of what I can smell in my head.

Like, the smell of chocolate or wet dog or chanel no 5, no problem. The smell of my mother's house or a meadow on a sunny day, very vague and uncertain.

What I'm getting from this thread is that almost everyone thinks their own cognitive process is easier and less annoying.

Which makes sense, because thinking is one of those things where people naturally just do it the most efficient way for their own neural structures.

I think you might have replied to my comment by accident.

Definitely. Global shipping is riddled with moral hazard and artificial externalities.

The US supporting a Netanyahu-led genocide for the world to see isn't actually doing Israel any favours.

I was taught inside of my elbows but yep, will never cough into my hand again. It's so gross, why was it ever a thing?

Washing my hands using the WHO method instead of randomly.

Avoiding catching viruses.

Meditation.

Oh yeah and iota carageenan nasal spray. My sinuses love it.

None of the answers in here are about hobbies tho.

Sapere Aude, OP. You don't need to outsource your opinions.

Do you leave a tip for housekeeping if you're only staying one night in a hotel?

Is it a ‘thank you for prepping my room’ or ‘please clean my room today’? If you tip post cleaning, it’s likely going to someone else the next day. Many hotels now only do housekeeping on demand. How do employees feel about this - do they miss the tips or are they happy for a less stressful workday?...

Cool, hope you make it here one day! Which country do you live in?

What would make me happy would be for the hostilities to cease, the civilians to all be safe and properly fed and housed (no matter what their race or religion), and for the belligerants to find themselves looking down the barrel of a war crimes tribunal.

So I think there's stuff you and I do have in common, we just have very different expectations around international law and the rules of war. I find your opinions on war crimes quite horrible but I appreciate our underlying common humanity.
