  • Seeing sports exclusively through the lens of competition is toxic masculinity.

  • PRIDE IS A PROTEST. IT WAS THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT WE WERE LARGELY PROTESTING. If they backslide, we will fuck their shit up all over again.

  • Don't be a complete monster where strangers have to see it. Keep this shit to your fellow sociopathic homies.

  • emacs has been with me since the 16-bit era, across paradigms, across generations, across careers. When I use emacs I think in terms of what the elisp is doing. It's such a deep and developed relationship, I would be throwing away so much personal power to use anything else.

  • Organize "pox parties" on Facebook; don't attend.

  • I get a lot of hostility when I try to engage with FN people socially in public. Which, fair enough. I try to learn the right lessons from bad experiences and the lesson I choose to learn is that I'm doing it wrong.

    How can I help these efforts?

  • Seeing ".TAR.GZ" in all caps gives me strong feelings of wrongness.

  • Personally, I've seen a lot of doctors and received very little help for my considerable trouble, and more than a little harm. I was fortunate that I rarely have to pay for medical service (but have to forgo it when I do) but if I had been paying all this time, it would be very easy for me to choose feeding my hypothetical children for the current week over another probably useless visit.

    Hey, man. No problem. Happy pride.

  • We're not talking about being dead vs being broke. We're talking about being MAYBE dead vs being homeless, hungry, and unable to clothe your children.

  • When it's bad, it's life changing in a traumatic way.

  • Yes; through censoring unpopular comments. Whether or not it's a good thing is debatable, but not so much whether it exists.

  • Maybe you're just not trying hard enough.

  • I'm saying that M$ was always just as bad as the times demanded/allowed.

  • psyslop was right there

  • There did not yet exist channels of psyop slop that could pay MS to give them access to their users at their most vulnerable or it would have been in Vista.

  • When the original authors of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John wrote their words in the original Greek, they were not imagining blindness to be a metaphor for clinical depression. Or even for feeling sad, if that is what you mean. While many people understand these passages as referring to literal blindness, blindness is often used as a metaphor in the Bible, for example for ignorance, pride, deception, and unbelief. You can attempt to take it as a metaphor for the modern concept of depression (which of course they did not even possess) but to do so, you are clearly reading into the text. And it's not clear how the message of Jesus is meant to cure your depression, the way it can presumably cure you of spiritual ignorance, unbelief, etc.

    I'm trying to understand if you are advocating reading into the text intentionally, but it's not even clear if you're aware and accept you're doing that at all.

  • "I want people to accept a bogus solution so this will all just go away." Okay? But surely you can appreciate that people are not likely to be moved by your bad faith suggestions.

  • That's exactly a security concern from a design point of view. Your desire to trivialize it doesn't change its nature, access control is access control. That's not what DNS is for and making it do that is going to cause everyone regret.

  • DNS for security? What could possibly go wrong...
