overview for Empricorn

I definitely prefer e-reader. Bigger screen, no distractions or notifications, and e-ink means weeks per change and no eye strain. I currently have a Kindle Oasis, but I'll probably trade it in for something else in the future to escape Amazon's ecosystem. Until then, I even save longer articles to Pocket and use p2k (whatever its successor is called now) to send it to my Kindle and read later. I think Pocket's still going away too, so I'll have to switch to something else eventually...

Bend the knee, kiss the ring. Republicans blatantly allow corruption for our mad king! Fascist scum...

Firing Colbert and paying a verifiable bribe to Trump so his FCC will approve your merger is disgusting and pathetic. Fuck you. I'll be avoiding everything Paramount and CBS...🖕

Started S01E01 of Community and I couldn't help noticing this:

Sorry for calling out this random extra, but he's clearly wearing a left "over the ear" style set of earbuds on his right ear. Do you think the prop master just gave them out, or did he get confused and force it into the wrong ear...?

Commented on a post with the most recent (non-Breitbart) headline and updates. Added this with 3 independent sources:

FYI, Breitbart is a far-right, low-quality source.

Media Bias Fact Check

Media Bias Chart

AllSides

Mod apparently didn't like a more reputable source being added to their post because it was removed in minutes lol.

reason: Rule 6 Violation

Rule 6: Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)

Just admit you want an echo chamber to spread disinformation and promote biased articles! Using this rule to police sources is very thinly-veiled censorship...

Not sure if this is allowed, so feel free to remove:

My new favorite "fuck around" activity is to employ "gig phantoms". I summon a friendly phantom, then wave and run toward a dog or easy enemy. I point toward it, at which point they dispatch it! I then emote Joy, or Jump for joy, drop the Thank You carving, leave them 1 Ember, then send them home. If you haven't tried it, it's absolutely hilarious...

WTF is a risa!? (feddit.nl)

Hello. It's hugely annoying to look at "community information" and find just an in-joke that won't make sense to most people, and no explanation of what this community is about. I'm sure that's fine for those already initiated, but I still don't know what "risa" means!

Don't worry, I also know you don't care that outsiders are kept out-of-the-loop and maybe even want to keep them out...? Well, that's fine; it's your community, but just a reminder that the casual browser will probably filter this community after several spammed posts that don't even clarify where their interests lie...

EDIT: Don't worry, I'm gone, and I've turned off reply notifications... I have even watched Star Trek! But don't fret, your caustic and hostile replies have ensured you're safe from the curiosity of myself and others, they won't bother you any more! Enjoy your gatekeeping...
