And then someone asks, "Why Do Alligators Dream Of Eating Fascists?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

She looks like she could decide to refer this thread to Locutus of Borg, who will just tell you, "I am... Locutus of Borg. Resistance... is futile. Your life as it has been... is over. From this time forward... you will service... … us.", and leave you to decide on what course of action to take in response.

I'm just trying to find out which rule was broken, so that I won't do it again and not have this issue again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, I think there should be a better way to check it, since it showed 'none' as the reason of the comment removal instead of an actual reason, so I know not to violate whatever rule it violated again. Plus, I didn't know what I needed to do to find out which mod to contact to find out what the violation was, so I know not to do it again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

Okay, for some reason, it is not showing the name of the mod, specifically if the AutoMod was used instead of manually, on my end.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I already know about that, but I didn't know which mod I need to contact.

 

Hi, I need to find out who the founder of the c/politics community is, since I had a post removed from there and the ModLog doesn't say who did it and there was no reason given to act on. It looks like abuse of the mod bot that may need to be removed.

How about making that "Deport Trump to Iran and tell their president this is the asshole who gave the order to attack the nuclear facilities in your country, and then leave them and get the hell out of there while leaving them to do whatever the hell they want with him"

If you rather talk about the koala instead, I do have a community on here for that.

For some reason, this got me imagining someone announcing over the intercom, "PREPARE STARSHIP FOR LUDICROUS SPEED! FASTEN ALL SEATBELTS! SECURE ALL ENTRANCES AND EXITS! CLOSE ALL SHOPS IN THE MALL! CANCEL THE THREE RING CIRCUS! SECURE ALL ANIMALS IN THE ZOO!" and the next thing you know, we are going so fast that we end up leaving our galaxy, pass through two others, and end up on the far side of Triangulum, the galaxy known as M33, and we have traveled over two million seven hundred thousand light years in just a few seconds.

I wonder if that should have been "Thank you for calling Borg Customer Service, 3 of 6 here, how may I assimilate you? You do know resistance is futile."

For some reason, this made me think "Ryker to Engineering, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER LA FORGE!!"

 

Lately, I have been having issues leading to frustration with a group I'm involved with that does rehearsals for a stage play over the summer. What the group does is create their own script for a play instead of using an existing one and I have been given permission to write a scene that involves the use of stuffed animals as puppets into the script as their assistant writer since I can do playwrighting.

Since I had gotten suggestions to do a lost boy and Captain Kangaroo, I ended up attempting to merge them both and came up with the idea of a boy dressed like a koala who is a half breed of human and koala fae with a connection to the eucalyptus woods. While I was working on this character of mine, I was hearing about clear-cutting of eucalyptus trees in Australia and became sad because of what it doing to the poor koalas.

That is what gave me the idea to make the puppet scene be deep in the eucalyptus forest in a mystical place that is full of koalas called Koalawalla Woods, and depict the plight of the koalas and the threat of clear cutters. The story I came up with is an elder koala is the first one to see men coming into the outskirts of the eucalyptus forest and start to clear cut eucalyptus trees.

It concerns him greatly that he sends a young boy koala to Koalawalla Woods in order to inform my namesake on here of the dire situation. She becomes really concerned about the clear cutters and wonders what can they do since she is known as Koala Mother who cares for all the koalas. She is also worried about the welfare of the koala dressed boy as she shares a special bond with him due to him being part koala fae.

The boy being nearby overhears the commotion there and wants to know what is going on. Koala Mother informs him about the loggers clear cutting eucalyptus trees and is not sure if there is anything they can do against them. He then states they may need to inform the fairy queen he is under the protection of about their dire situation. The young boy koala overhears him saying this and goes back to the elder koala to tell him this.

At the same time, Koala Mother gets more visitors coming by wondering what is going on and if there is something they can do against the loggers. While she is in the middle of talking to an elfling girl who happens to be in the area and wonders how she can help the koalas, the young boy returns and whispers in her ear. She tells the elfling girl to hold her thought on what she is saying and speaks to the young koala boy.

He informs Koala Mother the fairy queen requested for the koala dressed boy to go to this location to find this crystal stone they need to save Koalawalla Woods, and she needs her to open a portal there. Koala Mother reluctantly agrees that could be their only hope and opens a portal to where the crystal stone can be found in the same fashion Pinky or Printy opens her portals in the old Noozles cartoon.

After I have submitted this to be the puppetry scene in the group's play I'm involved with since I had felt that I wanted to depict the plight of the koalas to the audience and gain attention of it in a way. Even though it was accepted, I was never informed of the koala dressed boy being written into the rest of the play to fall down on the ground and is dying like he is being killed off, and I didn't approve of this.

Right now, I'm preparing to submit a further edit I made to their script that fixes this and makes more sense, but if they don't approve of it, I will no longer be involved in their play and pull my character and puppet scene out of it. If it does come to that, I'm wondering if anyone here may know of a community that would be interested in my ideas here. I can expand on them alone without them being compacted with the rest of a play.

 

Hi, I'm not sure where I can ask about this since I'm not seeing a Scams help community on here, and I had tried to search for one.

What is going on is that I had started checking out BlueSky after I had gotten an invite from someone on Twitter/X to move there, and just recently I have gotten a confusing message related to the illuminati on there. I haven't responded to them since I'm very confused and thought to try to get help in r/Scams on Reddit thinking it might be illegitimate.

When I had tried to ask over there, my message had gotten removed by the AutoModerator over there saying that my post has been removed because it looks like you are relying heavily on a screenshot to explain the scam. This has me wondering where else I can get help about this, even though I can provide a screenshot of the message in question.

 

I hope this is a good place for this since I'm not sure what other community would be for this, nor who I could talk to about this. Lately, I'm becoming more concerned about AI among other things and I have been looking for movements against this stuff going on. It also has me questioning whether or not it will be a good idea to create a community about this on here since I can't seem to find any community that it would fit in.

To try to keep my mind off things, I have been going into groups for Faerie and Wicca beliefs to focus my thoughts on woodland mysteries and things like that, and someone brought up something about keeping the magick alive for little ones mentioning the use of tiny letters. That got me thinking one of those letters can be saying, "Since the beginning of time, we have been the guardians and the healers of the forest. You have too long forgotten the magic powers of nature. The time has come for you to call on them again, and remember, all the magic of creation exists within one single tiny seed. Help it to grow.", and comes inside a tiny envelope containing a lot of seeds that could get a child to feel bad, concerned, and want to reconnect with the woodlands.

I feel this may lead to the child gaining an affinity for the color green, an interest in green colored dresses and brown booties, and perhaps wanting to become a child of the forest. This also got me thinking about the story that I have been writing, that is about a few kids who are feeling they are out of a place within a technological nightmare world, and are also getting a calling sensation to go into the woodlands. As they leave home and venture to the woods, they notice a number of the trees look like they are withering and dying which makes them concerned.

This soon leads them through a cave passage into a world which appears to be somewhere in the 1800s where they meet a group of kids who have a hideout above an abandoned pawnshop like place. They find out more things there, continue their venture into the woods there, and through a faerie gateway that takes them to another world that is stuck in medieval times with little to no technology to be seen. This world has an older Legend of Zelda/Lord of the Rings feel to it even though its still a work in progress.

Oh, and I also had started to plan and put together a video series that focuses on an elf girl named Lindsey who escapes out into the forest from her foster mom, and it kind of becomes similar to a scavenger hunt to locate certain things. As I try to focus on these things, something I see somewhere tends to cause me to be increasing worried about certain technologies.

Anyway, the idea behind a few of these projects is to show things that appear to be getting forgotten, and to attempt to get children weaned off of phones and tablets that are causing the outdoors and wilderness to be forgotten, and to get rid of the garbage as well as the enshittification being brought on by greed. I'm currently wondering if I should look into setting up a community for discussions on this, though I currently don't know what to call it.

The 2024 Election Meltdown (pro.paradigmnewsletters.org)
 

While I was looking something up, I recently came across a link to this video that was talking about a 2024 election and I have been trying to figure out which community I can post about it in, and where I can get someone to look into it, figure out what its about, and whether or not we are heading for dark days after the presidential election.

Anyway, It has made me feel very scared since it was talking about how the Democrats in the House of Representatives are plotting to block the certification of Donald Trump if he wins the election, since they are predicted to take about the House, but doesn't mention anything about the status of the US Senate.

It also mentioned the Stock Market is going to be having a 50% crash, the final fall of the US Dollar, there will be public unrest possibly leading to a Civil War, Martial Law being instituted, etc.

 

I'm not sure where to post to find someone to help me or a workaround for this, but I'm having an issue on here where the display picture that I used for a couple of topics I posted in my koala community had gone 404. I have tried to ask for help in [email protected] and sent an e-mail to the admins to try to get the problem fixed, but I had not gotten any response from the admins and I'm beginning to wonder if I need to find someone who may know of a workaround for this.

 

I'm not sure what is going on now, but the image on the same post has gone to 404 again with the following message, and I'm wondering if this is a false flag to be looked into.

code	"not-found"
msg	'Invalid status 404 Not Found for Some("01/91/67/bd/82/19/7f/c6/a9/5c/0a385494f4e7.webp") - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n<Error>

Edit: I was just checking today and it is now happening to this post in Koalawalla Woods as well with false positives. Editing it and trying to fix it doesn't work. https://lemmy.world/post/19099195

 

I recently just noticed that one of my posts, the one to a petition on Care2, had its display picture from the petition itself get deleted as it was coming up as 404. I have changed it to a direct link to the image on Dingo for now while I'm wondering why I wasn't even notified of the reason why it was removed.

Edit: Now it looks like it is 404 here as well.

 

I have thought about this and decided to post here since it was suggested that it could go here.

Anyway, I'm currently feeling like I need to speak to someone and might be able to help. I haven't been doing much with the koala community I create here since I have been feeling a bit down.

Even though I'm thinking about it, I'm still wondering how I would incorporate a koala comfort place into it where one could talk about concerning things that may also be worrisome things.

And I’m also currently planning on posting links to articles about koalas and petitions to help koalas and/or their habit posted to it, which the post titles will be marked in []s if they are for a petition, article, or something else. If anyone has any ideas they want to talk to me, feel free to let me know.

The one thing right now that is slowing me down is the amount of e-mails I'm currently getting, which is now over two hundred e-mails a day. This is mainly due to the amount of non-profit organizations that are sending me emails about surveys, petitions, donation requests, and actions to take among other things.

That has me now wondering if I need to create a list of them here so you can help me figure out which ones I may have to filter into the trash.

 

At this time, I have been feeling a bit down and is why I haven't being doing much with the koala community I had created here. But now I'm thinking about it again and had been wondering how I would incorporate a koala comfort place into it where one could talk about concerning things that may also be worrying things. I'm already planning on having links to articles about koalas and petitions to help koalas posted to it. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to let me know.

I'm not sure if there are certain images on here causing this popup to appear or what, and I wonder if someone can help me figure this out. I wonder if its something that will need to be blocked or an instance that needs to be de-federated until the admin of it agrees to remove the Malware that is causing it to happen. Here is a screenshot I managed to take of the popup.

 

II have thought about this off an on for a while, and decided I will talk more about it here since I haven't been able to find a more welcome place for someone who is considered spiritual and on the autistic spectrum. I'm not even sure what the right place is though as there are times I tend to feel lost in more ways than one and perhaps cut off when I get mistaken for an AI bot in a few places.

My story starts where I was born into a family with a Mormon Church ancestry, even though I wasn't actually connected to the Christian Church. I'm not going to go into religion here since I don't want this to turn into some religious argument. Anyway, when I was six or seven years old living in a house further away from my grandma's house, it seemed apparent that I was more connected to nature where I would watch water running along the ground in little rivers.

After my family had moved back closer to my grandma, I found myself going out into the woods behind her backyard almost every time I was visiting her and going to the stream back there to look at it. I remember during the time it seemed magical and mystical while I was exploring on the frozen marsh there in late fall and was looking at the twilight in the sky at sunset realizing I needed to head back to the house.

During one of the times I was out in those woods as a kid, I had encountered something that looked human that said "hey there' and I ran all the way back to the house scared not knowing what it is. Sometime after that, there was upheaval going on between my parents which may have been due to the time the chimney was blocked and the house was smoking up, I ended up being brought to my grandma's house with my siblings to spend the night. I have memories of wearing footed pajamas with the vinyl feet, but had developed holes in the feet for some reason. It was night and I could sense there is something out there.

When I was home again and it was sometime around late spring or summer, I had become interested in the Care Bears and while I was playing with brick blocks, wooden blocks, and large train tracks that were plastic from a riding train in the basement playroom, I was writing letters to Tender Heart Bear and leaving them in the kitchen window where they were being answered. I think it may have been because I was looking for a friend since I was friends with the neighbor girl Carrie before, but then she stopped being friends of me and my siblings weren't being kind to me either.

At some point, I was allowed to get this three foot tall Tender Heart Bear plush from Toys-r-Us after getting good grades in school, and it became my only friend. Sometime later, there was upheaval going on between my parents again and we ended up being forced to leave there and go on a cross country trip to Washington State. I couldn't bring much of anything with me and so I lost a number of things including my three foot Tenderheart Bears.

While I was in the van traveling by woodlands, I had this mystical sensation of something out there calling me to come back out into the woods for some reason and couldn't do anything while in a van. On top of that, I remember seeing the darkening sky and sensed some kind of mystical connection with the western sky for some reason as well, and this might be related to the feeling of being disconnected from nature and lost.

Years later, when I was back on the east coast and was living in a town house in northwest New Jersey after moving a couple more times, I recovered my three foot Tenderheart Bear and I also had a dream about seeing a white mouse who was named Heather in the backyard who was sad. She told me her husband was killed by a croaker while searching for one of the two greatest treasures in the world, and she was pointing to a steep grassy hill that appeared in the distance from the house as she continued saying one of the two greatest treasures lies just over that hill.

This may been related to where I used to live in Pennsylvania where there is a tree covered hill in a similar location from the front of the house, and over it is where my grandma's house is located. During that time, my mother had met someone who was having me forced to be going to a Christian Church and I really didn't seem at all comfortable with it, but thankfully I was no longer going there after she broke up with him. Sometime after that when I was beginning to look at Pagan and Druid stuff out of interest, I was visiting my grandma's house again thanks to my sister.

During a visit out there again, I was sensing this presence there and wasn't sure what it was even though it led to me having dreams about a fox. I ended up looking for help and was soon hooked up with a seer calling herself Yotewah and Coyote's Green Eyed Daughter, She also went by the name of Kikyo and I told her about the presence I felt at my grandma's house while showing her a sketch I did of a fox wearing blue clothing I had seen and remember from one of my dreams, and she astral traveled afterward to find that it is a fox boy called Kane.

A while after that and feeling like he is a friend I lost years ago at my grandma's house, I ended up with my getting someone to make me a custom Kane the Fox plush so I have something physical I can cuddle up to. Sometime after that, I had a dream about a girl outside the first townhouse I was moved to in Northwest New Jersey, and brought that up with the seer who found it was a fae girl named Lindsey who is an elf girl. She saw she was being chased by something dark and evil and took care of whatever it was. That later ended up with me having a custom plush I made of her using her description that I remembered,

When I started having a couple dreams about darkness out in the woods behind my grandma's house that may be related to what I saw out there when I was a kid, I told the seer about them and she had astral traveled there to cleanse the woods and my grandma's house. She told me there was some sort of guardian that she cleaned as they were being harmed by something that had the form of the Sprite from the Secret of Mana game.

After I had been moved out into a rural area with a yard that had some trees, I remember having a dream being in the yard there and could feel this pulling sensation. So I had contacted the seer about there and she found out there is a vortex and guardian there nearby. Then while I was back at my grandma's house and talking to her about Kane the Fox, she assumed it represented me due to having the Todd as one of my surnames. After I told her about the seer I had been talking to and showing her all the records that I kept, she had wanted to know her credentials even though she had not asked for money or anything in return. I later did that and ended up learning the seer was taught by the Elder of Serpentstone, it let to a little bit of an argument with her and I continued talking to the seer.

Not long after that, I had a dream about something pretending to be Kane that had a crescent moon on its cheek and I was uncomfortable. I also remember seeing an eclipse in the sky in the dream. After I had another dream where I could hear Kane calling for help, I contacted the seer and she looked into it and found that it was a Kane Pretender who trapped Kane away from me. She not only found and brought him back to me, but sealed the Kane Pretender away in an ice sphere of love and placed it in an ice glacier somewhere guarded by a dragon.

After that ordeal, I started having dreams again with Kane in them and was better. I continued having the dreams about him off and on as well as a few about Lindsey, and soon I had moved one last time into a house with a larger piece of property that included woods out back. Just after the move, I was feeling rather uncomfortable and had a couple dreams about fairies. I told the seer about this and after investigating, it turned out that I have fairies that are not only fond of me, but had been told the name of their queen. I continued having dreams about Kane and my grandma's house off an on and at some point, I have lost contact with the seer.

Some more years have passed and now I have been feeling worried and a little depressed (lately around the winter solstice when the days are short and no greenery to be seen outside other than bamboo, plus too cold to go outside). It may be due to the state of the world and things being forgotten and taken away leading to the feeling of them being lost, and the fact that recently I have been seeing trees dying off. It could also be the fear that I'm having on and off about emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, the fear of an artificial super intelligence, and brain computer interfaces and stuff that are a threat to the innermost privacy of the mind, and there being too much change happening and autistic people cannot adapt to change well.

This could very well be because of my strong connection with the woodlands and there being decline of woodlands that is upsetting to me like I can feel the pain of what is happening to nature and to the fae folk. At this time, it seems I'm feeling so lost and so cut off since I haven't picked up much friends. There were also were attempts to get me back into the christian church and be cut off my attachments with the woods and the spiritual friends I have. When I first brought this up in a Pagan subreddit on Reddit, someone alerted Reddit Help Resources which I don't think if that was right as I wasn't even talking about committing suicide as its not quite that bad, and I'm not thinking that for that matter.

Right now, I have been thinking positively on what thinks can be talked about or done, and it feels like we need to bring back something like a Koala Kafe in the comforting woods to talk about stuff like this. I also keep thinking about the Last Mimzy movie where it feels like Gaia, the soul of our world, has become sick and people are becoming isolated and warlike (see what is happening to Ukraine and Israel), and our world is frightened and is dying. And has feeling like looking for a great scientist to try many times and is willing to try once more, this is the Last Lindsey (based from the elf girl with a strong affinity for the forests since she is of the forest). Her task feels like it would be teaching of how precious the woodlands are and saving them, as well as finding a soul not contaminated by the technological pollutants that fill our bodies and minds like our precious quality of humanity has been turned off, and it is said the soul's tears would contain an instruction for an awakening that would spread like wildflowers.

Anyway, sometimes I feel like we could use something like a Koala Kafe in a peaceful woodland place that is like being among the comforting koalas, even though they are listed as endangered in Australia and need our help. I also have lots of created characters and ideas and had been trying to work on a few stories, but I feel bringing them online in the wrong place will lead them being scraped by AI Bots and be used against me to make things worse. I'm just afraid whatever I create and write to give to be helpful would also end up be given to the elite few thanks to their AI bots. I feel that I currently need someone to talk to about this and figure out what the solution to this is.
