Earth-dirt is fine! I know what I’m getting into there.
But I have no idea what horrors have accumulated & combined to make floor-dirt. No thank you.

Question from a dummy: why should you use a VPN when visiting?
“Dang. This is, like… the never-ending soda.”
Poki is still a maniac. They just made the trash cans less accessible now.
I think they might be a bunch of nosy, sex-obsessed perverts!
“Spring Cleaning” felt like a turning point to me, in a good way! I feel so fresh, so clean!
“Kid’s Book” was absolutely my favorite.
Tracing shapes & cutting them out.
It’s like 20% sewing, the other 80% being planning, geometry, resource management, tracing, and cutting.
And I often discover that I’m still bad at math! Pain. 🫠
Probably a local gym.
Thanks, I will! (:
I think it’s all about how it’s said. The simpler, the better. Phrasing is important, too.
Hey OP. Please look up the “Stonewall riots”.
Directly fighting against the forces that are making & enforcing laws that can & will do harm is the right thing to do. If the people in power / enforcing unfair practices see they are unopposed, they will become stronger in their positions. Complacency allows imbalance.
Will I break windows for Gaza? No. I will not. Who will that help? Who am I fighting? That kind of thing is nonsense.
Will I fight police that are attacking students for protesting? YES. YES I WILL. Because if you fight back, they will understand that you will not allow yourself to be walked all over by unjust enforcement. They will think twice about attacking students next time, because they know people are willing to fight back. If they do not encounter opposition, they know they are safe to do whatever they want.
In short: once a bully realizes that you will hit back, they are less inclined to bully you. Even more so if you are backed up by more people who also hate the bully.
EDIT: To be fair, I don’t hope for “collapse”. However, I do understand why people do. The corrupt system goes so deep that collapse may be the only way to dismantle it, as it is beyond any kind of reform.
Do I want collapse? No. But, unfortunately, it may be necessary. The system cannot be fixed without being dismantled, and I’m not optimistic that we will experience a miracle.
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.
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!
Fun fact: some tuxedo cats actually have prominent Siamese genetics! Siamese cats are known for being very very vocal.
