@micahflee If police didn't respond to someone ostensibly suicidal, they'd catch hell.
Based on the history of suicidal people attacking cops, if they weren't ready for an attack, they'd catch hell (or die, which isn't actually part of their explicit job description).
Of course, we could just tell police to ignore the suicidal, or maybe just point and laugh and call the coroners. They probably wouldn't mind. Easier and safer for them.
I did German for five years in high school, and to keep myself at least a little up-to-date I read spiegel.de on a daily basis.
International wine shipping is a hell of a lot of paperwork and procedure - I may just let a distributor do that for me. That's what they specialise in - and of course, why they have a business.
You may be interested in a Kickstarter I intend to start soon; to celebrate and promote psychedelic culture through art and music.
Entschuldigung fuer mein Deutsch (nur dritte Sprache) und die lange Stille (brach eine Freundin zum Arzt).
Musik: fast 40 Jahr lang gespielt, seitdem ich Kind war. Nur im Ernst seit fast fuenf Jahr geschrieben, sonst nur ab und zu. Jene Stueck machte ich fuer www.masterclass.com in ein Paar Stunden.
Honigwein: ich bin ja ein Landwirt, und voral Weinmacher. Ich habe kiloliter Wein im Keller. Ich stehe auf mein Zitronen-und-Honigwein.
Actually, that's more of a progressive thing than liberal.
Liberal would be: Do your thing. Get down with those groceries.
Progressive is more: We think we know better how you should get your groceries. Oh, and we need to record all the things so that we can prove how right we are and how our point of view is better.
@gc Figure out with whom you want to federate, basically.
This is (and has been) one of IRC's greatest, most enduring strengths: you can set up your own, any time, and relay with the like-minded. Or just break links and tell them to talk to the hand.
@bob This suggests of course some sort of expansion of versioning to encompass branching rather than the straightforward apply/revert of present wikipedia editing. This way you can have a secondary editorial role, that simply collates preferred content, and produces a branch.
@bob Most importantly, this should be visible and applicable at the reader level, not other editors. The idea is to put power in the hands of readers, rather than people with the time to browbeat others. It's analogous to muting on Mastodon; nobody knows, and the end user has the power to improve their timeline silently. This way readers can ignore (or favour) flat earthers and young earth creationists silently, for themselves.
Differentiate edits by author. Right now there's no author reputation system, and consequently fanatical idiots with ample time on their hands can win masturbatory editorial wars by attrition, without reputational limits.
