My dad helped me shave my face, it’s really not very different. It’s just personal grooming.

Right, OK, I get what you mean.

Well, other than this:

but leashed dogs that are aggressive are worse than a well behaved but unleashed dog so I let the unleashed and behaved ones slide.

Why?

Getting shot in the head is worse than getting stabbed in the calf, but I still think you shouldn’t stab me in the calf! Obviously that’s a very extreme example, but these rules exist for a reason.

The dog may seem well-behaved for now, but what if it gets bothered by something random, as dogs do? The whole point of the rule is to prevent aggressive dogs from bothering people, because owners seem to always think their dogs wouldn’t hurt a fly. If you only complain about a dog being unleashed after a dog misbehaves, then aren’t you just asking for an issue to happen, instead of preventing it by enforcing the rule?

You get what I mean?

Then again, it does bother me when people don’t use crosswalks or cut in line lol

Banning an allergen because a small fraction of the population suffer - Also No.

Well, that’s why I said you already agreed with the banning, as part of the hypothetical. Dang, I really feel like quite a few people got kind of hooked on that… I asked this in a Discord server and several people just said “well I wouldn’t want it banned.”

Just out of curiosity - and some frustration - what do you think would be a good abstraction for asking this question?

Regardless, sounds like a reasonable answer.

Edit: Wait, now I’m confused.

Do you think coating yourself in allergens and going on tour is OK or not? And is banning an allergen because of a small fraction of the population OK or not?

Yeah, that makes total sense.

but don’t want it to be required.

That was a key point of my question - that you agree that it should be required - but maybe it shouldn’t have been… Could you elaborate on this?

What would be something that upsets others, but you think shouldn’t be banned/required, you still think people should act in a certain way, but it doesn’t upset you when they don’t?

For me, I am extremely allergic to oysters

Damn, that must suck balls…

I called her out on it

Good on you, dude! I wish I called dog owners on their leash-less dogs more often…

What I’ll say is that I really don’t mind it. Personally, I’m not a big fan of AI art at all, and I don’t really use generative AI much in any capacity. I also don’t see generative AI on my feed… Basically ever? I guess because I don’t really browse Local.

db0 is anarchist, and that does come with some lenience that some people might find to be a little off-putting, but the AI part of it is pretty much irrelevant, unless you’re seeking it out - from my experience, at least, and based on how I use Lemmy.

Not that I mean to shill for db0 tho lol use whatever instance you feel like fits you best!

They claim they are not cool with generative AI

Are you sure about that? The instance description explicitly endorses generative AI. I think you might’ve misread.

I think it’s the one I use (dbzer0). I’m pretty sure it’s explicitly pro-AI generated content.

I’m going back home in a little over 2 weeks and try to find my old PSP…
