OK, I mean it doesn't work as a metaphor.
I mean it doesn't work as an analogy.
That's not reality ceasing to exist. Or like it.
charged with hate speech
I'm curious whether she has actually come out with any hate speech. Can you point to anything she's said which is hate speech? By which I mean real hate speech and not just speech whose underlying motive you believe to be hate?
For example, this is hate speech:
"Illegal immigrants are lazy good-for-nothings and should all be deported."
This is not hate speech:
"Illegal immigration is terrible and I wish the government would do something about it."
reality ceases to exist
Uh.. wut?
sharing a lot of Taliban ideology
That seems like a bit of a stretch.
Chris Wanstrath ... $1,000,000 donation
So.. not independent then.
actively trying to harm trans people
Curious who you're referring to and what they've done?
Alexa, order a proof reader.

I wonder what makes him think that.
What books or pamphlets have you read?
you are too lazy and stubborn to put in the work to change society
Uh.. u wot?
You have no idea what I have done or do. You have no idea whether I'm lazy, how could you.
Questions and pessimistic negativity?
I find it sad and bizarre that you view reason and attempts at clear communication as bad. If you had something concrete to offer I would certainly be optimistic but all you seem to have is deluded echoes of Marx's "wouldn't it be nice if" dreams.
The issue was how to unite all communities under the common goal of providing rest, not how to learn while suffering. Everyone already knows how to do that. You have nothing to offer.

Anyone else noticed an increase in smelly people?
Over the past few years, I've noticed an increase in the number of smelly people out and about. In particular, it seems like there's been a sharp increase in the number of people unable to clean themselves properly after going to the toilet.
This increase has been since at least lockdowns ended. It used to be that maybe once in a while there'd be the odd person you'd turn away from or maybe one regular grumpy post office customer who always stank but now it seems like every time I go out there's a minimum of one random person who is utterly offensive and either doesn't realise or doesn't care.
It makes sense to me that people who live alone would become more lax in their personal hygiene during lockdown. Perhaps it was always this way and I'm being retro-romantic about pre-lockdown times. Perhaps it's because I shop at Asda, I don't know.

Why does scrolling to the bottom of the main feed sometimes load more posts and sometimes doesn't?
Usually when I'm scrolling, the feed will have posts added to the bottom. Sometimes however, I'll get to the bottom of the feed and there are no more posts. Sometimes if I drag up the posts up, more posts will then appear. Sometimes if I scroll up a bit and then back down, more posts will appear. However, sometimes neither scrolling up a bit and then back down nor dragging the posts up makes more posts appear.
How is this supposed to work? Why do more posts sometimes not appear? It's quite infuriating. And what makes it more infuriating is not understanding what the program is supposed to be doing.
Thanks.
