We need something that isn’t THE internet, and is only accessible if you have the patience and knowledge to connect to it.

That kinda does exist it’s just that you and I lack either the knowledge or patience to connect to it.

You’re not wrong!

I could but I’m not the person who cares enough to want to look into it. I’m telling the person who does that doing so is a good idea.

I think we need to start reframing it as some sort of combined right to freedom to speak and freedom to not listen. Right now the majority of the time I hear someone talking about freedom of speech is when they want the authority to force people to listen to them.

Yeah the sad reality is that the entire situation is a mess and there isn’t really a good guy to root for beyond innocent civilians caught up in it. (Though you can certainly argue about who is the worst bad guy… That doesn’t make their enemy not also a bad guy.)

I expect you need to look in the Lemmy.World moderation log to see to what degree lemmy.ml users were or were not problematic (I’ve no idea either way.)

If all the food in my fridge is warm I don’t immediately assume my electricity has been cut off rather than something is wrong with my fridge.

If it’s anywhere near that long you should see a doctor.

I really don’t understand why it’s such a common confusion. None of these people struggle with the difference between their gas supply and their oven.

Delusion.

AFAIK whilst some creatives do fully conceptualise the work in their heads then set out to externally reproduce it, the more normal approach is to have a less complete notion and then create something via the process. IE, a musician might have a melody in their head but then they will play it on the instrument and experiment with different variations and accompaniments to see what sounds good and build on it that way, rather than sit and think of an entire piece based on that, then play it out loud.

I did write a lengthy (nice) response to try to better articulate my own subjective experience for comparison so we could continue to try to better understand one another but then I kinda just lost faith in the idea…

Do you possibly speak more than one language to any degree? If you think of the words “yes” and “oui” (yes in French), there must be some difference in what you experience inside your mind despite the meaning being the same. So what is different between the two subjective experiences for you?

But, for you to put the words in “in the right order” they must take some sort of descreet experiential form.

Yes but my question is that if you say you neither hear nor see the words, what experience does “I just think of the words” mean?

For me if I think of the words in a song I experience that as an auditory thought that may have some more abstract or emotional types of thinking attached to those words (ie, if I’m think of the word “cold” I might hear the word cold in my head and also feel the idea of coldness, or if I think of the word “angry” I’ll hear the word angry in my head and angry associations will come up. Note, this hearing of sounds inside the mind is not the same as experiencing an auditory halicination where you perceive you have heard an external noise with your ears.)

i just can’t stop trying to get all the words in the right order

I do t understand why you’d need easy access to buy 500 at a time of something you shouldn’t take more than 8 a day or for more than three days at a time without consulting a Dr and now I just realised what this is about…

In the UK we just see the Dr if we’re in pain for more than three days because our system isn’t evil.

If you neither hear nor see the words in your head, how do you experience them to reorder them?

What makes you think OP hasn’t just been offered 10 million dollars to lay in a coffin for 48 hours?

It’s because people try to kill themselves by taking lots of ibuprofen and it’s both a bad way to go and a bad way to survive. Making it harder to access large amounts has been shown to reduce the amount of suicide attempts (as often actual attempts are somewhat impulsive.)

It’s a good question. Hopefully the Beehaw admin team will reach out to the Lemmy.World admin team to have a discussion about exactly what the LW admins are trying to achieve and under what conditions they will be ready to reopen submissions. Though even if they do have that conversation there’s no guarantee that that will match up with what the Beehaw admins are looking for in order to refederate. It was made clear from the Beehaw admins at the time though that they didn’t have any issues with LW in general, only that toxic disruptive people were using the open sign-up of LW to create accounts to go cause trouble over at Beehaw (outside of the general LW userbase) and that they hoped to refederate once better tools were in place to address those disruptive users. Could be that lines up pretty well with LW’s goal to wait until they have better tools to address malicious bot accounts before they reopen signups.
