You’re not allowed to point that out though. Which is why I just downvote most posts I see in this community instead.

Not entirely. Sam was tempted, and if he possessed the ring long enough he would have been overcome like any other, but his Hobbit-sense saved him in that one small moment:

"“As he stood there, even though the Ring was not on him but hanging by its chain about his neck, he felt himself enlarged, as if he were robed in a huge distorted shadow of himself, and vast and ominous threat halted upon the walls of Mordor…”

"Wild fantasies arose in his mind; and he saw Samwise the Strong, Hero of the Age, striding with a flaming sword across the darkened land, and armies flocking to his call as he marched to the overthrow of Barad-dur… He had only to put on the Ring and claim it for his own, and all this could be. "

"In that hour of trial it was the love of his master that helped most to hold him firm; but also deep down in him lived still unconquered his plain hobbit-sense: he knew in the core of his heart that he was not large enough to bear such a burden, even if such visions were not a mere cheat to betray him. The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command. "

Bottom right be looking like Kingseeker Frampt.

I’d say this pretty accurately shows the current state of video game remakes.

As long as the game is balanced and there are enough counterplays to camping, I’m fine with it.

I think I’ve finally figured it out based on what my sh.itjust.works account shows:

1. If you’re on a censored instance, all words will be blocked no matter what
2. If you’re on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a censored instance, that comment will still show up as removed
3. If you’re on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a non-censored instance, the comment won’t be censored

When I’m on my sh.itjust.works profile, the comment by @Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network isn’t censored, but mine still is. So, the censorship gets you both coming and going - no censored words can make it into a censored instance, and no censored words can make it out either.

I really do think it’s your instance, but here we go: removed

It may be your instance - your comment shows as “Looks like I can say removed just fine” to me. I may be switching to lemmy.ee it seems.

Edit: turns out my alt on sh.itjust.works can see them fine, so I’m migrating my account over there.

I tried a few days ago, but every kbin instance I went to requires an email to sign up. Maybe I’ll try again with a throwaway email.

Are there any instances that you know of that disable the censorship? I already got my fill of cybernannies on Reddit.

Edit: My alt on sh.itjust.works can see the censored words, and it defederates with much fewer instances than lemmy.ml. Seems like migrating over there is the best choice.

I’ve just edited all of my scripts to point to my sh.itjust.works profile instead of lemmy.ml. Wish there was a way to migrate comments and posts over, but no biggie.

Has anyone made a multi-Lemmy yet? Where all of your posts and comments from all of your profiles can show up in one place?

(also, what’s the formatting for double-spacing after a list?)

Lemmy moment

I’d never use something like that - the hole’s entirely too big.

I wonder what’s the largest that defederates with the most.

Almost definitely beehaw

I also wonder what’s the largest that gets defederated the most.

Probably exploding-heads. If not, then lemmygrad.

Definitely sh.itjust.works. The largest instance that defederates with the fewest other instances (though they could still do better here - there’s no reason to defederate either exploding-heads or lemmygrad), no email required on sign up, and a super chill vibe.

It’s not actually about being specific per se - it’s about overtly mentioning details that are already assumed from context. Grice’s maxims of quantity and relevance say that speakers only provide information when that information is important in some way and relevant to the discussion, so providing information that would otherwise be assumed means that information must be actively relevant to the conversation in some important way that warrants it being mentioned.

Japanese has demonstratives like “that”, just no articles.
