Can they just insist it’s pronounced like jimp and sidestep the issue? Imgur, .gif, GNOME, GIPHY get to set their own rules on pronunciation.

Users can now block instances. Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.

I thought I was polite in my initial request that they cut back on linking their site, I don’t recall ever suggesting people collect their pitchforks and torches. Please be more dramatic :)
I’m just not interested in having another source of non-stop (undisclosed) advertising trying to appear as organic engagement and am announcing it publicly in the hopes that they either limit their use of it or to at least make others aware what the user is doing.
It would be one thing if they were announcing they own the site but it’s the only place they link to and it gets shoehorned into multiple communities with calls to go visit it.
Please consider not constantly trying to self-promote your website.
It should display a “Send Secure Message” button when viewing a user’s profile.
Sounds like “hazing.”

There’s a video by a designer talking about some of the symbolism of Ellie’s journey (Full talk video here – SPOILERS for the film in both).
And also an insightful YouTube comment(!) someone made in response describing their interpretation:
spoiler
"This is one of the most thoughtful and insightful reviews on deeper film meanings I think I’ve ever seen. In keeping with the rebirth symbolism, I would offer the following possibilities.
- The transport pod symbolizes more of a womb, rather than a gas chamber.
- The chair may not be an electric chair but rather a means for Ellie to assume a modified fetal position while in the capsule. This would mimic the position of a baby of in a womb prior to its own birth.
- The wires plugged into Ellie represent an umbilical cord to sustain her, rather than a means to kill her.
- The periodic updates given by the mission control staff as to the status of the machine (10%, 20%, 30%, etc.) mirror the increasing dilation of women in labor (1 cm dilated, 2cm dilated, 3cm dilated, etc.).
- The wormhole sequence mirrors the new life traveling through a birth canal.
- The capsule takes on a liquid form to symbolizes the protective amniotic fluid to keep the new life safe.
- After Ellie’s “birth”, the first person she sees is her father.
- This rebirth scene is enhanced by considering Ellie’s mother died from complications of childbirth when Ellie was born. This backstory enhances Ellie’s natural reluctance to be reborn as her initial birth killed her mother, and permanently altered her life.
There’s undeniably imagery of execution and rebirth simultaneously occurring within the same frames! The filmmakers did an outstanding of capturing some very compelling storytelling while inserting remarkable symbolism."
I was really hoping for an Orange Cube around the announcement of Half-Life: Alyx.
31·3 months agoI’m not going to try to convince you otherwise but I just want you to recognize that your position is that you’re ok with “bad” people being killed as a form of punishment and mine is that ensuring that label is always appropriately applied is an impossibility.
I don’t like the thought of terrible people getting to continue to live if they’ve done irreparable harm to others, but I’m also not ok with saying that we totally need to burn THAT WITCH because Goody Constance totally witnessed them communing with the devil.
Osama/Hitler getting killed in military action - fine. An abused child/person killing their attacker - look the other way. Giving Edward Snowden lethal injection because he totally deserves it for endangering Americans - not acceptable.
Consider what your thresholds are for what constitutes witnesses and admissions of guilt. For example, confessing to crimes that weren’t actually performed by them, do you honor the claim anyway?
And does a group of police witnessing a suspect or conversely a group of the suspect’s friends witnessing a police officer do something heinous count?
Remember any mistakes cannot be remedied.
The possibility/certainty of intentional or accidental false convictions doesn’t affect your acceptance of the state meting out permanent punishment?
Entitled kids, don’t they already get enough lead in school from their peers‽
