If you ask me I don't want "good Christians" in government to counter the "bad Christians" I just want a separation of church and state like they promised us in third grade

Domestic violence, rape and the constant pressure to look like Good Products for men’s consumption are also driving a hidden mental health crisis but no yeah, let’s publish some sexual coercion instead.

Ten or 15 years ago, I read a comment or blog post or something in which the writer explained her theory that the reason men fought so hard against being called creepy was because it doesn't leave room for negotiation.

If you find a person creepy, that's a purely subjective stance, so nobody can tell you you're wrong, or why you're wrong.

You can't overcome being creepy by making more money, or being taller or fitter or dressing better or having clear skin and nice hair. You're still creepy.

"Ick" is the same thing. I find you viscerally unappealing in an indescribable way. The end.

So because you can't tell somebody they're wrong if they find you creepy, we have to be subjected to a million think pieces about how mean it is to find men viscerally unappealing.

Fortunately, there are block buttons.

It’s interesting how the “rapists can be redeemed” crowd never says anything similar about radfems. I guess raping women is just a character flaw but being able to define what a woman is makes you an irredeemable monster. Ahhh feminism

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 4 days 4 hours

[odyver]

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 4 days 4 hours

[odyver]

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

Remaining time: 4 days 4 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

I think the terms “rapejacketing” and “pedojacketing” were invented because “false allegations” sounded too obviously incel-y

I just wanted to add this quote from the peppermint patty peanuts wiki page about Charles M. Schulz and his relationship with his gay cousin. The source here leads to a book that I did not read but the original source is Schulz's wife who confirmed this in an interview. If I can find the interview again I will link it here but uh. just in case someone tries to claim Schulz was a homophobe on this post again.

Males think that oppressing women is a human right. No matter how oppressed a man is, he will always seek to oppress women in the same position as him. Their entitlement to oppress women is considered a given, and when they feel injustice at being poor, a large part of it is that they feel injustice at the fact that they can't oppress rich women as much as they oppress other poor women.

Men don't measure class by wealth, or race, or country, they measure it by how many women they are given the opportunity to oppress.
