No particular drama, mostly that being a member of .ml sends a message that I’m generally not trying to send, and through no fault of anyone at .ml I just kinda got tired of having to deal with that from time to time.
edited to add - I’m also not a communist, which didn’t really seem to bother anyone at .ml, but that’s all wrapped up in the whole “unintentional messaging” thing.
No really, I am. 😆
But I’m kinda flattered that you recognized my username.
This account still exists because I want to sort through and preserve some saved threads and other stuff.
So far nazis have ruined the toothbrush moustache, the swastika, the Gadsen Flag, Pepe (no big loss there), the OK symbol, and are on their way to ruining the US flag since anymore I nearly only ever seen it flown next to a Trump flag.
Now they are going to ruin the raised fist too.
No one can argue with that, but the reason his name comes up every time is that he’s the exception, not the rule. His net worth is also a fraction of that of Pelosi’s or most of his political peers.

Not sure either of these counts fully as what OP is looking for, but -
The idea of the technological singularity feels right to me. There’s a whole section on the wikipedia page about scientific objections to it, and I get that, but if we don’t kill ourselves before then, it seems like an event that almost has to occur at some point, to me. And maybe it zigs instead of zags and we get star trek. Or maybe it zags and we get terminator. But probably neither of those I’m guessing, and these days it’s hard to imagine that it would put humanity on a worse trajectory than we seem to be on today.
Similarly, but less seriously (for me) I like to consider the whole “maybe we’re in a simulation” theory.
