Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Dictionary knows only the meaning of isolated words. They have no ground to stand on.
They could have asked why there are nuclear threats. At some point OP would have to admit that the sky is not woke enough and that more non-binary fuss is needed.
Haven't we all just been living under constant nuclear threat since we were basically born? It's kind of hard to be anxious about it since it's basically the background radiation we've been told not to prioritize or think too much about since we were kids but I would wager each one of us has a nebulous and ill defined "in case of bomb" plan.
This is what a brain damaged Republican sounds like when he tries to wax poetic about his strawmen.
Im pretty sure we still ARE under nuclear threat now that Russia decided to go invading again and that the US has a fascist dictatorship rolling up.
On the bright side, this word vomit will by itself probably set AI language models back a year.
millennials haven't lived a single day without nuclear threats, the fuck is he moping on about?
I'm a leftist GenX whose served aboard 3 nuclear submarines, over a 20 year career. Ive slept between ballistic nuclear missiles, on top of torpedoes, mines, and tomahawk missiles early in my career, but later, switched to a standard bed (rack) on the boats..can I reflect and make a fuss?
as long as it's non-binary
No. You can be thanked for your service but you cannot protest when your benefits are reduced.
Darth Vader, "I'm altering the deal. Pray that I don't alter it any further."
You nailed it
Let me help the dictionary out. It means old man yells at the cloud.
This guy is a band naming genius
Every day is a day lived nuclear threat as long as pricks like this exist.
Well it's pretty clear to me he's going for an allegory here, where cuban missiles become tweets and, for some reason, the sky becomes woke.
You just know he thought this sounded so fucking cool in his heads before he typed it out.
"Oh yeah, this is going to piss off so many Liberal Snowflakes. -post-"
-Gets ratio'd to hell and back by the fucking dictionary-
It's weird how the people that have always been against drugs are the people on drugs.
It's not that weird, we call it projection.
The duality of republicans. Be scared of Russia nuking us over Ukraine to lick their boot, but also belittle gen z for not living through the cold war, while also starting a cold war with China.

Nanomachines, son!
I refuse to look it up and will just continue to tell myself that this is not a real person. It can't be.
As an American who is used to this garbage being the norm, this isn't shocking, surprising, or hard to believe
I'm just waiting for them to start calling oxygen and water woke so they either stop breathing or shrivel up like a sun dried dog turd.

I'm sorry, did I miss a mass disarmament event? It may not be as novel as it used to be, but the dull threat of nuclear war has been a constant backdrop in our lives.
like a lot of us of a certain age lived through fucken CHERNOBYL.
Also who the hell is he referring to? Pakistan has had nukes since like ‘98
Can we get him on technicalities? 'Cos millenials start in '81 and there was very much nuclear threatening
Nuclear threats never went away. There's a proxy war between nuclear powers happening right now. India and Pakistan just had a spat. Seems like some American elites want to fight China.
Sometimes I wonder if nuclear winter will cancel out climate change.
