  • I'm sure if the plan is to kidnap you, the end goal will result in ::: spoiler Tap for spoiler torture and/or death ::: — not living as a pet in the basement.

  • A dating community sounds like fun!

    No idea how it would be modded, though. But I don't plan to communicate on an 18+ level without at least meeting in-person first. I'm aware that many people do not take the same approach, though.

    Idk. Still kind of interested in a dating instance!

  • There's a lot of European users! In fact, I recall an entire community of folks centered in.. maybe Scotland?– sharing local news and going-ons with each other. So it can definitely be so with other areas!

    Though, yeah, I think it may be less efficient if you're looking for folks who are local. May be more for folks just casting a net for someone, anywhere.

  • No place for political violence against rich white people men.

  • I'd date on Lemmy, since it seems many folks here align more closely with my political views than anywhere else I've been.

    Problem is, many folks are so privacy-focused (some to the point of paranoia) they won't give you much info about themselves or their personal lives.

    Kind of funny, tbh.

  • For myself, I sometimes still slip into it when I'm in a place where my anxiety is heightened. I was told I have "borderline DID" (disassociative identity disorder) stemming from PTSD, and that causes these kinds of "defenses" to pop up. Stress can absolutely trigger something like that.

    It could very well be a brain injury, an autism quirk, or something else. Sounds like it's nothing to be concerned about, but I agree that it can be confusing or jarring!

    As for her aggressive behavior, definitely talk to your superior about it. Regardless of her issue(s), a coworker should not be so hostile towards anyone.

  • Were people hurt?? Ffs America

  • Y'all are grown folk arguing if it's ethical to fuck high school students.

    I got nothing to say to that.

  • No one is accusing him of rape. Just saying his view on the whole thing is sketch as fuck.

    17 is enough to be a consenting adult in some actual reasonable countries.

    .......okay.

  • Fool me once, shame on me! Fool me twice....

  • My criticism lies only with people who staunchly defend him and/or consider him a good guy / hero.

  • I am not a lawyer or a judge.

    But "early views" nothing. The guy knows where he stands, it's just that now he knows that being open about those views will get him in trouble.

  • An actual good take.

    Thank you.

  • As of 2016, there are reports of Stallman changing his views on the matter within the previous few years.[2] However, in 2018 he defended Cody Wilson, who later pled guilty to sex with an underage girl, with Stallman saying that the girl likely had "entirely willing sex with him." Stallman changed his original post but nevertheless still said it is "normal for adults to be physically attracted to adolescents" and that adults using trafficked children shouldn't be legally responsible. In 2019, Stallman posted an email to an MIT listserv about the allegation that MIT professor Marvin Minsky raped a 17-year-old girl, and due to public outcry he resigned from both MIT and the Free Software Foundation.

    changed his view on that a decade ago

    got quieter about his views

  • That was my neighbor's defense, too. "It wasn't rape! She was very clearly coming onto me!" about the 14-year old girl he """encountered""" as a college student.

    He very absolutely understands what rape is. He just doesn't want age to be a factor if she's "into it". It's very very very very very clear where he stands: if she consents, it's not rape, no matter her age!

  • discomfort women

    Stallman has made many posts sympathizing with efforts to legalize some forms of child pornography. Among other things, they stated that he was "skeptical of the claim that voluntarily sic] pedophilia harms children". These comments were defended by his supporters on Slashdot.

    Women are just so sensitive!

  • "I am not a woman, therefore I am not affected by his comments! Conclusion: good guy!" — far too many people in this thread

    Dude also has some........ """interesting""" opinions on the legalization of CP.

    All you gotta do is contribute to FOSS and you're a hero?

    Some of y'all dumb as hell.

  • You should scan it and find out then tell us about it.

    — me, an actual coward
