[…] We should not believe absolutely anyone, regardless of gender, making any accusation. […]

Do you make a distinction between "accusation" and "testimony"?

[…] We trust [people] based on credibility and evidence. […]

I don't think this is necessarily the case. For example, one could choose to give someone a chance despite their past wrongs.

[…] someone who has been declared a rapist by a court of law and has been convicted of many serious crimes should never be president of a country […]

IMO, I don't think this is a good idea. My concern is that it may give one's opposition an incentive to find a way to falsely convict them of a crime (or maybe create a new criminal offense) in order to remove them from the running for office.

The burden of proof for a criminal rape suit is really high […]

How do you mean?

Which link?

[…] Classical centrist arguments […]

How are you defining centrism?

[…] Its always do you have a source, can you explain, etc, never adding to the discussion. […]

Do you not think adding sources and context is adding to the discussion?

Get the fuck out of here centrist

What exactly did you not like about my comment?

How to say you've got a big schlong without saying you've got a giant schlong /j

[…] never any red meat at all.

Why not?

I honestly sort of just sit on the toilet like this normally (not on a public toilet). It's comfortable for me to sort of lean all the way forward and hug my legs while I'm sitting there.

“We haven’t reached zero yet, and the only acceptable number of deaths and injuries on our roads is zero,” said Lucy Maloney, a Vancouver city councillor. […] ^[1]

This is an interesting quote to me. I appreciate the aspirations, but I wonder if it may be better (ie more transparent, more honest) to take a more, in my opinion, realistic position. IMO, it is mentally healthier (though, perhaps not politically healthier 😜) for one to be realistic in their goals, and I think the same extends to governments. In the context of road safety, I think it's fair to assume that the risk of bodily harm and injury will never be "zero". By all means, one should do their best to lower the risk the best that they can, but I think that should be done with set realistic goals, rather than a potentially infinitely unattainable finish line.

[…] It’s important for it to be public, otherwise bad actors can far too easily destroy the entire platform. […]

Okay, but, again, why does it need to be public? What use is there for the IP to be publicly visible to anyone except the moderators/admins? What can an average user do with that information in the context of editing/improving the content on Wikipedia?

[…] I’d rather leave it in his hands to control that rather than have it thrust upon him. […]

I think that's fair, and I appreciate your considerateness 😊

If you want to mention him, I won’t try to stop you (not that I could if I wanted to). […]

Ha, nah it's okay. I think it'd be silly for me to ping him further down in the thread after the fact. I was mostly voicing my unsolicited opinion 😆

Unfortunately, I still don't follow what your point is.

I like the vibe of this song, but I hear a clipping on the piano which I don't like. I'm not sure if that clipping is intentional.

[…] A full solution has been merged, but I don’t think it’s been released yet: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5515

It looks like it's coming with Lemmy 1.0 ^[1].

I see Extractions&Ire: I upvote.
