I have a follower I can’t see; does this means they blocked me?

Can you guys see who my follower is?

I just turned followers back on; I honestly used to just block anyone that followed me, bc it seemed weird.

Context; I have a real life stalker who keeps making reddit accounts to harass me.

Anyways, what things prevent you from seeing a follower?

Can you follow an account you’ve blocked?

Can anybody else see it?

Edit: this comment was downvoted within the time it took to refresh the screen. Ie at like 3 seconds old maybe.

There is a hate group protesting women’s rights at the T intersection by the bay bridge right now.

I am currently making a sign, and will be joining them soon.

The sign will say “why do they hate women?”

With arrows pointing at them.

I’ll be there in like an hour.

Protesting a women’s access to abortion should maybe be viewed as something more akin to a hate crime at this time; it would match our recent addition of “femicide” into the criminal code rather perfectly.

Edit: I missed it. Sigh. And to that one comment; yes when I drove past them originally I yelled “why do you hate women” over and over while given them while giving them the finger- ie giving them the respect they deserve.

I was really looking forward to recording them and hearing their thoughts.

Edit edit- a silver lining; when I was walking through the tim hortons parking lot somebody screamed “go eff yourself you dumb c**t”.

I turned my sign so they could see it and they were like “omg I’m so sorry”.

That interaction made me feel proud to be Canadian.

Edit edit edit; re my use of the term “hate group”.

For what it’s worth, I very much chose that term mindfully and with intent.

“… a criminal violation motivated by hate, based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity or expression, or any other similar factor.”

Their message targets women, and all data on abortion shows that to support pro life is to willfully send women into cycles of poverty and violence on a system scale.

That is why I used the term “hate group”.

A call to contact your local MP; I feel as if the wording of the new Public Safety report might have slipped under the public radar.

On sept 24th, 2026, the Canadian government put out a public safety report with some very problematic wording: “anti semitism, which includes anti Zionism”.

A political ideology cannot be a ‘protected class’.

A religion or ethnicity is not a political ideology.

(Also note image 3 is showing the context the statement in the document.)

By conflating anti semitism with anti Zionism, the Canadian government is essentially suggesting that somebody’s ability to think credibly about human rights issues is limited by virtue of one’s ethnicity or religion.

That is massively problematic.

The document, by using anti Zionism the way it does, diminishes our governments ability to combat real instances of anti semitism; a bunch of stuff in this document is talking about real antisemitism and trying to find real tangible ways to combat it; saying “anti Zionism is antisemetic” ruins the credibility of the entire document, which in of itself helps prevent our nation from combating actual anti semitism.

Also very problematic.

But why am I posting this on a Belleville sub?

Two reasons.

  1. I cannot stress enough that given a) the current leader of the federal NDP is an open anti Zionist, b) that this document goes into detail about how Zionism is anti Semitic, and c) goes into detail about the networks police should use to monitor anti semitism, that this documents wording implies that Bellevilles NDP voters should be on a watch list.

  2. Our democracy works in a such a way that the main way to express disgust or disagreement with our governments actions is to contact your local MP/P.

Anyways, conflating anti Zionism with anti semitism; the idea that our govenremnt would use such language is a massive issue that impacts us all, so I implore you voice your dissent to this nomenclature that tries to paint human rights as a psudo science.

Our MPs name is Chris Mallette (contact info on photo 2), but also you can contact the Minister directly here.

[https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/bt/cntct-frm-en.aspx?t=2\](https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/bt/cntct-frm-en.aspx?t=2)

Or email their constituency office.

Denying genocide is too recent a memory in Canadas history (residential school denial is still a thing in Canada); as a Canadian, I do not have the words to articulate how disgusted I am that we are trying to indoctrinate genocide denial into the language systems of official government documents.

But I mean hey, the RCMP famously put Native land rights defenders on watch lists too, so I guess in the grand scheme of things this is nothing new.

:/

****

Tl:dr the language of presenting our Jewish communities as a monolith perpetuates the very anti semetic tropes this report is attempting to dismantle.

That is wrong.

Write your MP.

Ps: I am working on a generic email you can send if you’re interested; I’ll post it in a link later.

Pps- a reminder that most things aren’t black and white and that there is some irony in the context of creating false dichotomies here; while our current government seemingly failed in supporting human rights on this safety report, they are also doing things like promising 100M in aid to Palestine too, which is to say- a reminder that nothing is typically a monolith, and that viewing ethnic or religious groups as a monolith is text book xenophobia, or in this case, anti semitism.

PPPs- deleted and reposted bc I had a single typo and it was in the tittle lol.

On the Belleville shooting special that’s on right now.

To Sharon, who just spoke (at 12:20 noon) and equated the shooting in Belleville to the suffering of Jewish people since Oct 7th.

I get that our radio lets all voices be expressed (which is awesome) but it just sucks that callers are using a hate crime (that happened about 15 houses down the street from me) to try and use antisemetic tropes of conflating a religion with a political ideology.

So like… here’s a thoughtful reminder that it’s maybe not appropriate to try and conflate a hate crime that happened in (my) community to denying Israels genocide.

Like, I don’t understand how talking about the Belleville shooting- which was likely a hate crime against Jewish people- could be related to Oct 7th, other than as an attempt to hijack that suffering and try and equate it to anything that could be viewed as a foreign colonizers war crimes.

It sucks that it looks like, already, within 24 hours, this tragic event, this almost certain hate crime, is being hijacked by bad faith actors to try and justify a narrative that maybe isn’t supported by evidence and reality.

Anyways, Sharon, your view points really bummed me out; your words implied that the Jewish community supports genocide, and I don’t think that is an accurate representation of Canadian, or Jewish, discourse.

Zionism is a political ideology.

Judaism is an ethnicity and a religion.

It’s not appropriate to assume that by nature of someone’s religion and ethnicity that they are somehow predisposed to accept a lowered human rights discourse.

It’s disheartening that our political literacy is so low that the idea that Israel committing genocide and the idea that Belleville likely just faced a hate crime against Jewish people, are seemingly too complex of subjects to exist simultaneously, at least as reflected by the choice of callers just on cbc.

Anyways. This all sucks.

Edit: Edit: I’d like to add; mindfulness on the cbcs end; people are in shock and morning; I do wish to point out the societal net benifit if the intent of this episode to just let victims be heard, what with what we as a species know about trauma and what not.

Could our solar system fly through a gas cloud that could alter the vacuum of our solar system to something where the distance between the sun and earth could ignite? (lol)

Would it be theoretically possible for any solar system, but let’s say earth, to have the following happen?

Our solar system travels through a giant gas cloud that is somehow heavy (or whatever) enough to to breach our heliosphere, and change the background void stuff of our solar system into something different than that half an atom per cubic km or whatever it is rate.

Are there naturally existing parameters where a solar system could be “taken out” this way?

Ie conditions where our solar system could travel through some sort of space cloud thing that could somehow cause the vacuum of space to have enough molecules to ignite the distance between the sun and earth?

And to that extent; you know how rock records can tell us when volcanoes go off?

Does earth have any evidence in our total geological history that could suggest we have traveled through some weird vague something sort of like that before?

Are there even gas clouds in space, that somehow aren’t travelling with the spiral of the Milky Way (or whatever), thst we could even possible transit?

Anyways Tl:dr.

Could our solar system fly through a “space thing” that could up the amount of atoms in the vacuum of space to something where the distant between the sun and earth could ignite?

Like say a cloud of hydrogen that’s a few light years wide sort of deal.

HAPPY 9/11 GUYS!

What 9/11 themed dungeons and dragons things are you guys running tonight?

**

In my session tonight, the party, school children who live in an oppressive toleration society called the East, hear rumours that another nation, the West, just had a fireball self type moment with a level 30 wild magic sorcerer, and destroyed two giant phalluses and a negligible amount of their population.

It appears that the fire ball self guy is trying to cover it up, and is trying to use xenophobia to blame it on the East.

Given the rumours that this barbaric West shoots school children for fun, or facts like the West having dragon riders who routinely fly to the East and obliterate entire villages, the party is worried.

Their first mission is going to go to school to get an education to be able to help solve the issues related to this eternal conflict.

But then as soon as they make it to the school, I’m going to have one of the dragon riders come in, and gave the entire town make a dex save for 750d6 fire and 250d6 piercing (don’t worry it’s a save or suck not an ‘or half’- theres a chance to make the save still).

Do you think that will TPK them?

Also, I do have a b side adventure planned today themed off of pearl harbour, given maybe the 9/11 thing is just low hanging fruit.

Happy 9/11! (Wait…)

Edit: update, omg so the party actually survived!

After realizing that the school would certainly be dragon blasted, they went and joined the mountain tribes as it was literally their safest option.

Surprisingly, their long game plan is now to sneak into the West, and magically rebuild the phalluses ether by massive amount of 9th level summon creature spells, or via building them somewhere else and then teleporting them into place as an attempt at sorry, even though it wasn’t them who did it.

Reddit spaces as a virtual extension of geopolitical conflict.

Edit: I wrote this for theory of Reddit, but I missed the no politics rule so it was removed. Anyways, I still want to share this idea, and while I was trying to share it to a space that wasn’t just preaching to the choir, oh well. But if you have any thoughts to expand on this, please puke em up.

***

I’ve have had Reddit about 1.5 years.

This has been my only account.

I have been permanently banned from Reddit with this account maybe 9 times now (that also means I’ve gotten a warning, 1, 5 and 7 day ban).

I have successfully appealed every single one, because all of them were fake reports.

Also, 92 % of the reports were pertaining to the subject of Israeli genocide (12/13), and false claims of antisemitism.

I just realized that I haven’t had a false Reddit ban that I’ve had to appeal via the admin time in like 5 months, despite not changing or shifting my tone or views on the subject.

The difference?

Whenever somebody comments trying to rationalize or deny genocide, instead of responding to them, for the most part I just block their account.

Anyways, given all the aspects of virtual warfare/terrorism that exists within reddit to help spew various nations propaganda (for example, my nations namesake sub is visibly hijacked by Zionists in a way that in no way reflects my nation irl), and given more specific things like Israel being caught using mass bot accounts to help misguide AI results, or just their 730 million a year propaganda budget…

…It’s interesting what one can infer from this situation.

While talking about Israel with an academic and non hateful lens, my account kept getting fake reports, to the point this account has been perma banned from Reddit with the appeals won 9 times now.

When I started just blocking anybody who was trolling, the fake reports stopped.

Given functions of candour and integrity when it comes to academic discourse, my experience adds up.

But another important dynamic to this factor; the complicity of reddit admins.

A few of my false reports took 15 days to overturn.

This means that some Reddit admin actually looked at my statement of say, posting a doctors without boarders article talking about doctors being shot at by the IDF, and seriously viewed it as antisemitic.

Where given Reddit, like all virtual spaces, is an extension of various real life conflict zones, and given this theatre of battle just as important as the non virtual ones, it is reasonable that some Reddit admins would also be in on helping pushing a false narrative on certain geopolitical issues too.

Atmospheric CO2 as related to volcanism (looking for help)

Edit: the psychology behind these responses is neat: anyways somebody understood what I was asking woot woot go them!

“Update-.

“There is a feedback by which atmospheric CO2 may drive tectonics. You're not wrong. Briefly, volcanism drives higher atmospheric CO2, which feeds back to higher weathering rates (the classic planetary thermometer) Weathering produces clays which are then eroded onto continental margins. The thickness of clays on continental margins lubricates the subduction of oceanic crust, and increased subduction drives increased volcanism. So there is a positive feedback. I think it is a quite strong hypothesis, though certainly not proven.

Here's the classic paper looking at sediment delivery and subduction rates: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0012821X18305296

Here is a recent paper linking phanerozoic weathering to sustained, high rates of tectonics:https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2025GL117072 “

***

In high school (2005) I did a paper on the possible feedback loop between Co2 saturation in the atmosphere and volcanoes erupting, and I’m wondering if this idea rings a bell to anybody, and or if there have been any new discoveries to this concept.

I don’t remember which parts I was speculating on

I do remember that throughout history, there was a lot of evidence suggesting that pretty much every single time the CO2 levels got to a certain threshold, earth entered a time period of heightened volcanic activity.

And like to a degree that it very much required a further look by humanity in general.

It should be noted that at the time, the relationship was coral not causal (ie we didn’t know what caused what, just that periods of intense volcanoe times tend to coincide super high with Co2 levels right before).

I’m pretty sure the project was me speculating that this was likely a homeostatic mechanical earth uses to maintain equilibrium; co2 gets us too (this might have been someone else’s idea; I’m pretty sure it was mine but ether way).

Anyways, does any of this ring a bell to anybody?

Schools too far away now; I don’t remember which ideas were mine or real, I just recall I got an almost perfect grade for the idea and the teacher was sort of blown away by the idea and told me I need to keep up with education lol.

I don’t have the skills I had back then to find much con this, but hey we stand on the shoulders of giants.

Tl:dr- can anybody puke me up some knowledge on this subject, who’s maybe kept up with the discourse better than I.

Anyways, I’m not really a tech guy, and the person who is doing this to me is in full out AI psychosis but is also good with computers- impersonating my voice with AI and using it to tell my exes to kill themselves; just a function of that, I just want this stuff to be documented on google in case it could maybe help prevent a future victim.

Would it be possible to make a QR code thing so that when something like a flock camera invades your privacy it gets a virus or shuts down or deleted its data?

If you have a computer scanning a screen, you can at least theoretically send commands to the computer via that lens couldn’t you?

Would this be possible? Is it being worked on?

Could you put said code on say a car or something so that when a camera sees it, it deletes its data or malfunctions or something like that?

Also, this post was flagged on no stupid questions for being about American politics, and for encouraging the destruction of property, which I found a little odd.

So to be clear- I am asking if, within our current technology, something like a QR code could be used to “reach through the screen” so to speak.

Like a modern day version of thst dude who made free long distance calls by humming a frequency into 2 phones, but with light instead.

Edit: my ignorance is showing- it doesn’t need to be a literal QR code, and perhaps virus was the wrong word.

Or.. things like.. cameras see in frame per second? There must be random interference stuff related to this.

Or say, covering a car with images of cars so the AI glitches out, where maybe a large group of people doing this could cause unreadable data if it keeps happening to multiple cameras all in one area.

Auto correct becoming worse isn’t just to help AI, it’s to intentionally cause miscommunication.

Auto correct has gone down hill in the last few months, and it correlates strongly with AI.

My original conspiracy was that they made auto correct shitty at the same time they made google default to AI as the top search.

Can’t spell a word wrong enough to even ping on auto correct, so I have to google it, thus using AI without a choice, where at the same time I’m guessing auto correct has been reverse engineered to try and incorporate AI into it to begin with.

So feedback loops in the exact way we know AI causes feedback loops on other fronts, like image generation, or using Reddit as a source for google searches.

But the plot thickens.

With the last two weeks, my auto correct had been changing “peace” into “leave”.

It’s changed “thanks” into “faggot”.

There’s been a few others too.

I don’t really ever use the word “faggot”, and I’ve said “peace” as an end statement to comments for a really long time lol.

The terms auto correct is changing are words I’m spelling correctly.

They are words outside of my vernacular.

They are worlds that completely flip a statements tone.

Anyways the conspiracy; corporations are causing auto correct to change our texts, to help create a more hostile political environment of mis/disinformation.

Example of how effective this could be, when scaled up to a society:

I appreciate your insights faggot.

Leave!

Edit: note this post is cool silly performance art if that last bit hits filters.

Do you think the show is gonna skip over the imaginary pillow girlfriend thing?

lol I know it’s not a pillow, but the overall concept and the way they described it really really came off like an anthropologists or sociologists take on the general concept of Dakimarkura.

Theyve already kind of hinted that they are gonna leave it out given the tweaking of characters already, and the fact that sociologist and meta material-ist (lol) have an on and off again relationship that seems to be a spin on when similar characters in the book start that and instead go, “ nope, Ima gunna get me some pillow” (meaning when 2 characters leave each other for their imaginary friend).

Also I personally thought that part of the books was cool- it creeped the fuck out me, I loved how they basically do the imaginary dinner thing and then jump to buddy becoming a wall facer; like “this guy is insane, here’s the keys to the nukes” sort of deal; and I also liked how despite how creepy it is, they give some very reasonable and rational explanations as to why from a mental health perspective, a pragmatic approach to it is maybe more healthy than viewing it as mental illness.

Anyways, I think they’re gonna leave it out.

Secondary question: I’m a white boi from the West. The author of these books is not.

Was that imaginary friend thing viewed as creepy as fuck by our non Western audience? Like social norms vary from region to region- is the books take on imaginary partners a hot take in China / non western cultures too, or more within accordance to the dominate norms?

The pillow thing lol:

Question about police protecting rapists

Disclaimer: I messaged the mods a few months ago asking if this was ok to post; I believe I understood what they meant. Ie don’t vent, actually ask a question related to social work.

*****

I was sexually assaulted in a parking lot three years ago by a guy who was jealous I was dating their ex.

When the attack happened, another person pulled the attacker off of me; that person was bitten so badly they were hospitalized.

When the other victim and myself went to the police, the police lied to us and told us both that the other person was refusing to press charges, and to walk away.

Both of us escalated it and were both told no we could not press charges- the sexual assault happened in a parking lot with witnesses, and then dude had a chunk of flesh ripped out of flesh from the attackers teeth.

This took place in Belleville Ontario, June 2023.

It ended up being escalated to the police chief hanging up on me, telling me to stop being so dramatic.

I then uncovered that this rapist has attacked numerous other people in my town; when the police refused to press charges, I had to gather the evidence myself, and in doing so, found 3 other people who had been attacked by this guy, went to the police, and were blocked from pressing charges.

Throughout navigating all of this bs, I have had three different social service workers with a combined experience of 50/100 years-ish all same the exact same thing to me independently- the only time they’ve ever seen police protect somebody like this is when the attacker was an informant.

3 data sets is a trend line, and I find it notable that three different professionals, all of whom specially work in women’s shelters/victim services, all independently came to the exact same conclusion.

But yeah, to the pros; what are your thoughts on “I’ve only ever seen police protect a person this way when they’re an informant”?

In your experience, does that add up?

Also, there is a bit more of the story if you’re interested I guess.
