So if I visit the area, just avoid Norway and go hangout in Stockholm instead.

my shower thoughts are always “God damnit get this shit over with, I want to get out of this fucking water coffin already… I wonder what would happen if you cooked rice in milk? GOD DAMNIT WHY CANT WE HAVE STAR TREK SONIC SHOWERS YET”

Hes half right.

Its not about paying for someone elses cause as you said the alternatives are free for the most part, its about not learning someone elses ecosystem so they stay in the windows ecosystem. Its why they have never come down on people using illegal copies.

Still have admins and mods. Cant reinvent the wheel, all you’ll end up doing is creating a more convoluted and obtuse wheel.

Mod code of conduct only works when someone above the mods gives a fuck about enforcing it.

and as we saw with reddit, the only time admins stepped in to deal with mods was…when subreddits were protesting reddits own bullshit.

You could limit the damage by at least preventing people from amassing ridiculous amounts of power by becoming moderators on hundreds/thousands of subsites.

Its the end point for mods.

Even ones that start out good.

You can only do the job for so long before you become jaded, indifferent, mad with power, etc.

Power corrupts and all that.

Good thing they spent money on that, rather than doing something stupid and librul like having a power grid that works.

I’ve had people selectively ignore my comments and accuse me of things which I never said, and I’ve had people ignore valid criticisms and keep attacking me.

Thats basic internet bad faith arguing 101.

Don’t argue what the person said, argue what you imagine the person said.

its quite popular.

yes, sorry, I am what you would call catastrophically sleep deprived so its a miracle i’m as legible as I am.

If it gets to that point, I think its more likely to declare the state in insurrection or rebellion and send in the army to passify it, rather than trying to expunge it.

No thanks, we got enough Christofascists.

We also got enough fried food and brisket.

No, we just need universal healthcare.

Not being bankrupted by an accident or emergency isnt a privilege that should only belong to the rich or well employed.

KNEW it was gonna be the technology connections video.

was literally just talking about, and recommended this video, IRL like 10 minutes ago.

All of your questions are very very leading. Of course we deplore rape. However, despite what you may think, we should all be given a chance to redeem ourselves.

There are a few crimes that are not forgivable, where you lose all right to any benefit of the doubt and should be labeled as dangerous, suspicious, and existential threat for the rest of your life.

Premeditated Rape is one of those crimes.

Premeditated rape is not a accident. its not a crime of passion. it is a deliberate, multi-step action that result in harming and violating another human being in one of the worst ways possible. There were so many points in which any shred of basic human decency that existed in his body could have asserted itself and changed his course, but it didnt. He followed through multiple steps in the process to follow and ultimately violate and his victim in one of the worst ways a person can harm another human being. Because he is a predator, and a threat.

Regardless of his time in jail, he is a threat. he will always be a threat. There is no one around him that is not at risk.

and worse still, because hes already been caught once, he will have learned… and the chances of the next victim escaping alive are slimmer for it.

There is no redemption arc that can unrape his victim, and erase the threat he poses.

yeah,. but thats like drinking Nik-L-Nip’s in your 50s, man.

Just not the same.

I’d give anything to have a temporal ethernet cable to access the old, pre-corporatized, pre-adpocalypse, pre-social media ruined internet.

oh man, and geocities and angelfire and aol/irc chat rooms…

fuck I miss those days.

found new shit via others suggestions, or web rings, cause there was no search engines.

guest books, animated gifs, page hit counters… ah fuck now i’m all sad and nostalgic

Of course. But they werent screaming about wayfare trafficing children for adrenochrome to liberal democrat pizza basements.

Their stupidity wasnt a threat to society. They were just, for the most part, honest dumb. and they were no where near as numerous as today.
