  1. A quotation from Cicero

    For indeed it is possible that a man may think well, and yet not be able to express his thoughts elegantly; but for any one to publish thoughts which he can neither arrange skillfully nor illustrate so as to entertain his reader, is an unpardonable abuse of letters and retirement: they, therefore, read their books to one another, and no one ever takes them up but those who wish to have the same license for careless writing allowed to themselves.
     
    [Fieri autem potest, ut recte quis sentiat et id quod sentit polite eloqui non possit; sed mandare quemquam litteris cogitationes suas, qui eas nec disponere nec inlustrare possit nec delectatione aliqua allicere lectorem, hominis est intemperanter abutentis et otio et litteris. Itaque suos libros ipsi legunt cum suis, nec quisquam attingit praeter eos, qui eandem licentiam scribendi sibi permitti volunt.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Tusculan Disputations [Tusculanae Disputationes], Book 1, ch. 3 (1.3) / sec. 6 (1.6) (45 BC) [tr. Yonge (1853)]

  2. BOLD (US) + CONTENTION (US) + CLIQUE (US) + FEAR THE LORD + NO WAY

    Bibelot, Saturday, July 4 at 06:00 PM GMT+2

    Straight edge hardcore legendes BOLD komen samen met nieuwe garde bands CONTENTION en CLIQUE. BOLD was eind jaren '80 in New York samen met bands zoals Youth of Today en Side by Side verantwoordelijk voor de youth crew beweging: energieke melodieuze hardcore punk vol idealistische thema's (vaak straight edge en vegetarisch). De band kreeg een legendarische status (mede doordat leden verder ging in bands zoals Shelter, Quicksand en Into Another) en midden 2000s kwam de band af en toe weer bij elkaar en speelt heel af en toe shows.

  4. Bei chaos.social/@plinubius/115262 schrieb ich, bei politischen Vereinen bzw #Parteien weniger in der Kategorie des Ortsvereins und mehr in der Kategorie der #Clique zu denken. Warum #Parteien darüber hinaus nicht als Föderation von Gruppen im weiteren Sinne denken? Dieses gedankliche Modell stärkt die Vorstellung von Subsidiarität, weil Gruppen und ihre Föderation getrennt voneinander gedacht werden können. Eine Gruppe kann sich von Partei A lossagen und mit Partei B föderieren. 1/x

  5. Die Idee (chaos.social/@plinubius/115260), politische Organisation und Selbstorganisation in der Kategorie der #Clique zu denken, hat einen ernsthaften Hintergrund. Indem z.B. ein Orts- oder Kreisverband eines politischen Vereins nicht größer ist als die soziologisch definierte Kleingruppe, sind diese Einheiten nicht selten identisch mit Cliquen. #Parteien1/x

  6. Ich bin schon so alt, dass mich nur noch eine Frage umtreibt: warum lassen sich Milliarden von #Menschen diese ganze Scheiße einer im Verhältnis winzig kleinen #Clique gefallen? Ich verstehe es einfach nicht.

  7. Never have and never will believe in "#popular #kids". All that is is a #slur against the ones who put effort into #socializing from the ones that don't. I grew up and kept to myself most of the time, but my #friend group had its tentacles in every #clique. If you shared my interests, mainly #videogames and #basketball, I was ready to mingle. I wasn't vindictive or jealous of my peers that had made more connections. That's just sad.

  8. @TomAoki multiple separate overlapping of-topic discussions are inevitable at times such as this.

    Partly off-topic, one of the things that I love about Discourse is the automated cross-referencing (linking) when quoting from one topic in another. Readers can be aware of the spread of things, with zero fuss.

    There can be no cure for the few people who will not tolerate Internet links (to external content, beyond the bubble of The FreeBSD Forums).

    That aside: a shift from XenForo to Discourse could, slowly but effectively, cure a fair amount of what's problematic – without admin/moderator intervention. True: the most hostile offenders might, in the early months of a transition, abuse the aspects of Discourse through which moderation is automated.

    The optimist in me believes that Discourse is mature enough for such abuse to become apparent, and then easily stamped out. Result:

    ― a better community, for everyone.

    Food for thought, <forums.truenas.com/>:

    ― the result of a swiftly executed, effective move from XenForo to Discourse.

  9. How do you break down clique's that form in the office?

    Example, developers are already an insular group. When they start making decisions internally that are going to affect the whole company without asking, I get worried.

    The company cannot be small silo'd groups of people.

  11. I hate cliquism

    I really do. The feeling of being excluded before one has even considered the possibility of joining a group fills me with dread.

    That's one of the reasons I picked a popular #Mastodon instance. I've written before how I have found many instances off putting. Most instances aren't necessarily being cliquish, they just don't want right wing shitbags to join, so have to set the rules.

    So, as always, it's the right who are causing all the problems.

  12. Also no one bothers to explain things anymore. It's like everyone assumes everyone else has seen/read/heard what they have. It's quite tiresome.

    It's like an in-club.

  13. “David #Dufresne (@davduf) : du Bérurier Noir aux Gilets Jaunes” (#Clique TV)

    “Ces derniers mois, ses "Allo Place Beauvau" l'ont fait connaître des Gilets Jaunes... comme des forces de l'ordre. Mais avant de recenser les bavures policières, le journaliste David Dufresne avait déjà un parcours hallucinant, qui l'a vu publier le premier livre français sur le rap, suivre les traces de Jacques Brel, enquêter sur le système […]”
