tbh, that’s a fair question. I would have asked them same thing, if only to hope you’d say something like:

“What, no. The horses didn’t die. It was a movie. They pretended to kill them.”

Especially if you’re already emotionally worked up.

That’s called “being caught off guard”.

Or maybe she was just messing with him, who knows.

three, on three different instances. It’s called redundancy.

Well, what we need is some dedicated non-profit company making chips.

Danke, das sage ich auch.

Der Wartungsaufwand, wenn man die TLD .org wählt, steigt mmn sehr stark an. Ideal wäre wohl .dach, aber das gibt es leider nicht. Daher schlage ich .at vor.

noooo 😭

nooo the muffins 😭😭😭

how could you encrypt them 🥲

Not really.

Feminism embraces openness in society, including walking your own path.

If that includes deviating from cis male sexuality, then yes, feminism does indeed allow that to happen, if it happens naturally. In other words: feminism does not force you to take part in the toxic masculinity circlejerk.

In that way, yes, feminism probably reduces the amount of “male sexuality” which is basically toxic masculinity in the world. But it does not force that change, instead, it lets it happen.

They predicted pron would condition men to expect sex on demand and sexual assault rates would skyrocket when in fact the opposite happened.

Reminds me of “computer games turns teenagers into killer machines” saying.

I imagine it’s similar to marihuana.

If people find out there’s an easy, relaxed life, they don’t work so hard, hurting corporate profits.

As the saying goes, there’s only two hard problems in IT:

Caching, naming things, and off by one errors.

This reminds me of The Four Leaved Clover

Beware that four leaved clovers can also be seen as a sign of good luck.

That someone is me.

Imagine that (hypothetical scenario) MDMA heals 70% of people, doesn’t do anything for 10% of people, but throws 20% of people into mental disturbances.

Would you take it?

Imagine that (typothetical scenario) MDMA heals 70% of people, doesn’t do anything for 10% of people, but throws 20% of people into mental disturbances.

Would you take it?

There is this game where you get a million dollars with 99% probability and die a gruesome death with 1% probability if you press a certain button.

What would you do in that case?

IMO, statistics isn’t everything, and one cannot only rely on statistics to make meaningful decisions. Lots of people I know wouldn’t press that button.

preventing access to risky behavior is not their job.

I disagree. Lots of people will listen if you tell them about the dangers of a specific medication, but few will understand. Especially if they have no background in medicine or pharmaceutics.

Well, I guess it’s not only that. Psychedelic drugs can really fuck you up, if you aren’t prepared. People talk about set and setting a lot.

I suspect that these drugs sure help a lot of people, but can also fuck a lot of people up really badly. It’s like, people who don’t go along well with these substances, avoid them instinctively.

Now, if someone would prescribe them, I’m pretty sure that a lot of people who are simply not prepared for it mentally (instead blindly trust the medics), would take them and get hurt pretty badly because of that.

The problem is that they’re not really made for this task, both in hardware and available software. They typically specialize in routing and switching, but have insufficient internal hardware (memory especially) to run a full-blown OS.

So whatever you install on these devices, will probably not give you all the features that you would like to have. (For example, a full linux command line with all the typical programs installed.) Also, it doesn’t allow you to use HDMI to connect to a monitor, so there’s that. But basic linux things can be done on it, if you figure out how to get to the command line. But it’s very limited.

Best practice is to communicate before taking action.

It’s the same with building a house. Imagine you put one brick onto another, and only after that draw a plan. Kind of a waste of energy.

Talk first, act second.
