I recommend you watch the children's cartoons.

They were made by true artists who snuck quite a bit past clueless censors at personal risk.

It had to be quite subtle and takes on a very poignant heartbreaking meaning if you understand the context fully. They were talking to you in the here and now. Listen.

"What is Good and What is Bad" (Что Такое Хорошо, и Что Такое Плохо"):

I watched it but I don't get your meaning. Perhaps I am as clueless as the censors. Could you enlighten me?

Evidently not. :)

I understand if you don't want to take the time to explain. Have a nice day

Half of their posts have been flagged.
Re:Creativity Has Left the Chat: The Price of Debiasing Lang... by ziggy_star on Monday June 17, 2024 @06:24AM (#40704110)
Is that so? A full half? I'm curios if you can link a few of them and what you find objectionable that I deserve to be shunned by you like this.

What pray tell is your issue with me? I assume a thoughtful response is forthcoming here.

> what you find objectionable

Speaking as an onlooker passing by: well, your «Evidently not. :) » above was not particularly productive, that is a rebuttal fit for relaxed old friends at the restaurant... :D

In that case I shall endeavor to be ill at ease youthful and unfriendly... :P

In all seriousness something tells me this is not the issue this person has with me. Fully half my posts are supposedly flagged dontchaknow? I am to be shunned.

And they are unsurprisingly keeping schtum after the typical drive by character assassination.

> I shall endeavor

"Appropriate" will be enough, and to the point ;)

> keeping schtum

Oh that is a vice you will find frequently here - reacting but not expressing, condemning but nor orienting...

Re:Creativity Has Left the Chat: The Price of Debiasing Lang... by ziggy_star on Monday June 17, 2024 @09:34AM (#40705484)
Which way should I be orienting myself based on this I wonder:

Thanks, I love the many versions of this song, fun to jam :)

BTW this is how these exchanges looks like in my browser: https://imgur.com/qLwS1jV

Hi Dang! What's up with all that? I emailed and everything.

Users are flagging your posts. We can only guess why users flag things, but I don't think it's hard to guess in this case: you're posting too many low quality comments, especially unsubstantive comments and/or flamebait. Could you please stop doing that? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Could you give some examples on the "What is Good and What is Bad" cartoon? I am fairly interested in getting their "message" but I am sadly not getting it.
