I believe they were using it as an example of failure to corner the market, that is, in reply to the previous person's comment and not directly to the main post.

Lung cancer killed my pet and I imagine it killed many other people's pets too. Cancer also killed some of my other pets.

This is kind of blaming the victim: you think black or queer people did something other than existing to egg on hatred? True, some go out of their way to try to befriend KKK members and such, but that strategy has only makes a tiny dent on things. Once someone is pouring gasoline on your lawn in a cross, it's a bit too late to make friends.

It's amazing that if a post has two possible contexts, people always assume THEIR context is the clear one and anyone who doesn't assume it is an idiot (even if basic rules of implication in English would have the other context favored).

I think maybe you meant to link to AI Winter (which that link has a link to down at the bottom) as that article doesn't really support your point (that people within AI acknowledge it has hype cycles) at all, there's nothing about AI directly in it, although it does serve a refutation that 'hype cycle' means it'll go away; if that's what you meant your sentence was a bit odd.

I love the version of Superman where he growing up and is friends with Luthor and he's like 'I cannot tell him my secret because my dad would disapprove' and it's got accidental closeted queer vibes.
And there's this comic book (not in the same continuity) where Luthor is this mad genius who escapes from prison easily and Clark interviews him and he's like "I like you Clark, you're so humble and down to Earth, but I hate Superman who is the opposite of that."
and then Lois likes Superman more than Clark, at least to start with, in some versions I think.
And then with Brainiac there's the possible storyline of 'this computer has a lot of information stored on my lost culture but he is also an existential risk to all sapients everywhere in the galaxy ahhhhggg'.
And how will Clark deal with an environment where everyone is hostile to immigrants when he is one himself and also dedicated to upholding the law?
And the first comic where he interacts with Batman is actually fairly good: Batman threatens to bomb people if Superman unmasks him and Superman is like 'oh shit, he is not lying, I can hear his heartbeat', but Batman was actually threatening to explode himself. And the cartoon where Batman is fighting Brainiac and his costume gets ripped to reveal he was Superman all along was hilarious: "I did not predict this possibility." The Justice League series in general (part of the same continuity) was pretty good actually.

I like the potential stories there. There's so many emotional possibilities. Stories where he just punches stuff are indeed boring. He is, frankly, under-utilized as a character imo because many writers don't understand that, or think the solution is to make a version of him that is evil which still involves him punching stuff, or because they're scared to actually touch on political issues like immigration or queerness. (can you imagine how many people would explode if Luthor was an ex-boyfriend for both him and Lois and they bonded over how shitty Luthor was as a date lol.)

Dead people may not have rights, but their very living family definitely does. When my dog died, I got upset when my mom kept trying to shove reminders in my face when all I wanted to do was forget for awhile - I can't imagine how I'd feel about an actual human being.

How would you like it if you were grieving and someone posted some tasteless shit about your loved one? (assuming you aren't a sociopath, of course, which may be a bit much considering this is the internet)

Neutralinos and squarks are entirely theoretical counterparts as part of an extension to the standard model, which were expected to be observed at the LHC as 'natural' but weren't and we have no concrete reason to think they exist; the Standard Model of normal matter still reigns supreme. However if there are really dark stars it does lend some actual support, and would be the first actual evidence.
Basically the idea is there might be a symmetry between bosons (spin 1) and fermions (spin 1/2), a 'supersymmetry', so that every known (fundamental) particle has a secret doppleganger. I vaguely recall one motivation was providing counter-terms, as if you add more matter it can blow up the Higgs, but the irony is the Higgs is fine if you just... Don't add any dark matter, like the asymptotic safety program pointed out and actually garnered a prediction of the Higgs mass with before anyone measured it. And everyone argued it would be more 'natural' if the new particles showed up at LHC energies. They didn't.
Personally I'm betting against it; supersymmetry has just actively had predictions working against it so far. The particles would end up introducing more parameters than they solve.

There is a much better explanation which is either MOND or MoND-mimicking superfluid dark matter causing structure formation a little sooner, plus early usual overestimation of the number of actual early galaxies. New data always takes a little time to analyze properly. Tired light is outdated.

Maybe try putting up signs saying 'ARMED AND DANGEROUS', 'NO TRESPASSING' and 'BEWARE OF DOG'. If you don't have a dog, you can just play dog barking sounds.
A dog on a chain in front of your door is a pretty good deterrent if you're willing to do that though.

Here's an idea:
A really simple bot that users can talk to via the fediverse and will spit out responses if talked to, like a roleplay bot. I suggest this because it probably wouldn't take much time to complete basic functionality, being purely text based, but could be easily expanded to make the gameplay more interesting over time. 'Multiplayer' could be done via a command like '@roleplaybot I attack @Stardust' (parsed by splitting/exploding the string) and having some kind of simple database storing HP and such.
Then if that works, maybe a more ambitious version of the game that actually displays images and such, perhaps 2d.
Example commands:
@roleplaybot generate me a dungeon/monster/goblin
@roleplaybot role dice d6
@roleplaybot DM a session between me and @Stardust
@roleplaybot Set my class Rogue Level 1
@rpbot Travel up stairs

Could be a lot of fun. You'd probably be looking at using something like javascript or typical webserver backend like php, ruby, some of the already existing fediverse code you could just start modifying. Take one of the existing scripts that do something on an activitypub response and include the roleplay bot's stuff. Nodejs seems like an obvious choice for a game + webserver but I'm not sure how much activitypub coding exists for it, haven't looked.

Communities should have categories/hashtags that users can optionally sub to, like the 'metacommunities' like plz1 said but optional and multiple. Mastodon does hashtagging and can be done on a post by post basis. The forum software Flarum has a 'tag'/category system and an additional hashtag system, so what I'm thinking of is more like the Flarum system since it would be awkward to hashtag every single post in a community/magazine/whatever.

So if I wanted to just get solarpunk tech I'd sub to that, but if I wanted that and even moar I'd sub to a generalized Tech tag. Make sense?
