I was really surprised when I learned that the inner eye wasn’t just some figure of speech, so I don’t see anything, certainly no extra visual details.
Something is still happening though, I can sort of “feel out” shapes/volumes and motion, like depth perception with no visuals attached.
There’s a spectrum going from someone just posting stuff and getting paid to shameless exploitation of vulnerable people through parasocial relationships. The latter can be very lucrative.
I’d argue that knowledge is more than that, otherwise books or state machines could also be said to know things.
True, really wish that could just be a them problem though.
I agree, there doesn’t seem to be a good way to make voting not at the very least semi-public anyway so just stop a) pretending the information is protected and b) remove the not-a-disagree-button-but-totally-a-disagree-button. There is a report link for rules violations, maybe a separate one for spam would be good as well, otherwise, I don’t know, just allow people to add an actual poll to comments if they want to?
They convey time instantly, without reading. You don’t even need the numbers for them to work. It’s like showing a progress bar versus just giving the percentage as a number.
Is this one of those hacking tools?
The unease doesn’t come from the word itself being a grave insult but, for example, from being bullied for being “weird”.
It’s also worth noting that the bourgeoisie doesn’t just compete for power with the other two classes (proletariat and petit-bourgeoisie) - it also competes internally. And for that, different factions within the class will seek external support from different groups, and align their discourses to those.
And if someone were to ignore that and view them as a single-minded monolith it can easily be explained as divide & conquer tactics.
It is telling you to eat that deadly mushroom though.
I wonder if they will call the next versions 12 and especially 13. Alternative names:

They used to make ones that can do both sides at once, but they were too complicated, expensive and basically immediately outdated when dual layer DVDs came around.
From what I hear it’s usually more about back-handed compliments than outright insults, like “wow, you must have a lot of confidence in yourself to wear that, go you!”
IT workers != tech bros
But I don’t know either.
That stuff is literally what the furry fandom is about though.
The specific term furry fandom was being used in fanzines as early as 1983, and had become the standard name for the genre by the mid-1990s, when it was defined as “the organized appreciation and dissemination of art and prose regarding ‘Furries’, or fictional mammalian anthropomorphic characters”. However, fans consider the origins of furry fandom to be much earlier, with fictional works such as Kimba, the White Lion, released in 1965, Richard Adams’ novel Watership Down, published in 1972 (and its 1978 film adaptation), as well as Disney’s Robin Hood as oft-cited examples.

No idea why people would lose their minds about this either, though.
My favorite. Those lyrics were surprisingly unsettling.
