I dunno, why don't you ask, eg: Russia?

The usual tell is when you need to have a cat in the morning just to function.

Because by law in certain countries, homosexuality is persona non grata, and a filter needs to be there to legally operate in such countries.

Because Catholicism.

Catholics believe that any sexual activity that doesn't have a chance of making a baby is sinful. Gays obviously can't make babies as a normal part of their love making, so that's where the whole 'being gay is sinful' bit comes from

They're also the one straight up using the term, which is why I asked in the first place (that being I had no clue what it meant)

Voe are not allowed in Gerudo Town!

Yep! Can you tell I fuck around on computers way too much?

My "can" includes infrastructure that I've actually seen being used by the homeless and setups that can feasibly be used by the homeless.

Stop pulling things out of your ass. It doesn't make your argument stronger.

Lol nope! Republic of Ireland has been a heavily-Catholic country since its inception. It's lightened in recent years and some surprises do slip through but that ain't one of them.

Out of the loop. What's a 304?

My mind is going towards HTML status codes.

I've lived up and down the UK for nearly 30 years. In both the north and the south you can basically bump into public spaces that can be used by the homeless. Just because your city ain't got them doesn't mean it's the same for the rest of the UK.

Until they make the wrong call and it bites them on the ass.

Yeah but they're called talent for a reason. The senior talent are generally better than the juniors at what they do.

Bro wtf are you on about? There's tons of public spaces in the UK, cities included.

Slippery slope? All it does is provide an enforcement option for orgs who don't want people begging on their property.

It's a bit more complicated than simply taking the worst experiences someone has ever had.

Every experience, every story from friends, every story in the news, heck even portrayals in fiction, contribute to someone's perception of an event, object, person or even group.

Now place yourself in the position of your average woman. You hear rape stories on the news, probably known a few people that have been SA'd if it hasn't happened to you personally, and you've almost certainly had a few close calls at least. Are you telling me you wouldn't have your guard up?

Which is why the important lesson from the bear meme is that a whole lot of women are incredibly stupid.

Woah woah woah, hold the fuck on for two fucking seconds.

First of all, as I said before, this shit goes both ways. Men do this too.

Secondly, I did NOT say that using our perceptions is a bad way to make decisions. Multiple experienced incidents and multiple stories can create a perception of danger, and that perception may be wrong at times, but it can also be dead on at critical moments. It is a survival tactic that serves people well in general.

You're using the bear analogy wrong. If the bear analogy was about statistics, they'd choose the human because statistically speaking, many, many more people are helpful than harmful. Especially compared to a dangerous wild animal.

People pick the bear because they themselves have been hurt too many times or have heard of people being hurt too many times. There is a perception that the bear is safer.

That can go both ways. And often people choosing the bear can be in a vulnerable state, which the likes of Andrew Tate preys on.

Choosing the bear is how one starts on either path. Then they get manipulated by hate spreaders and fraudsters.

This company wasn't exactly targeted. It could have happened to literally anyone.
