Biting insects kill more people than any other animal group by miles, the reaction response is more or less the same in every mammal. Evolution doesn’t evolve to anything, that’s selective pressure.

This behavior predates humans as we know ourselves today.

Their fulfillment centers are where joy goes to die. $15 an hour to be a human robot for 40-60 hours per week doesn’t sound like a great way to spend your time on this planet.

Or implement a validator from a known good library.

They’re also stupid dangerous to use and provide almost no protection if a car finds you, or you hit something the wrong way and go flying.

Tradwife, Rapist, and the other one.

In short? Facism and Saudi Arabia. America wanted to punish someone, but didn’t want to fuck with the money.

The Rock has assassinated Prigozhin!

Assuming what she should do is the root of the problem.

This is a terrible position to take. Just because one person could have done this doesn’t mean everyone can.

I’d do it in pirate speak, like a warning on catholic buildings saying ‘yarr there be pedophiles around these waters, yarr!’

That’s a fantastic idea, let’s swap all the laws pertaining to drugs and received religions. I’d love to see Catholicism, Southern Baptists, Orthodox Judaism, Whabbi and Salafi Islam considered Schedule 1 Religions.

You weren’t wrong about Islam, you were just too specific. All received religions needs to go.

Nobody is a zero or a one. I appreciate your advocacy but I just have a different standard, no more and no less.

Oversimplification of too large a dataset. Please refine your statement and try again.

Should have set it to None since PraegerU doesn’t think it exists.

Sounds a bit like special pleading to me. I’m happy to admit that he’s done more to advance the usage of FOSS than anyone. I’m also able to feel disgusted by his personal beliefs that he published whether or not he retracted them later.

I am very familiar with Autism and I know enough about it that using it as a blanket excuse for someone’s words or behaviors is dangerous. Good on him for amending his opinion 6 or 7 years later, I still wouldn’t invite that man into my home.

!05 June 2006 (Dutch paedophiles form political party)

Dutch pedophiles have formed a political party to campaign for legalization. [Reference updated on 2018-04-25 because the old link was broken.]

I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which aren’t voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing.

[Many years after posting this note, I had conversations with people who had been sexually abused as children and had suffered harmful effects. These conversations eventually convinced me that the practice is harmful and adults should not do it.]!<

It took convincing from real victims to convince him that minors cannot in fact give informed consent for sexual relations with adults. It also took many years.

Forgive me if I remain skeptical.

Keep drinking the Stallman Kool aid my friend. He said what he said, publicly, most revolutionaries have a fucked up side, we don’t often hear it out of their own mouths.

For me saying that sexual encounters with minors isn’t always harmful is beyond the pale and there’s no take backs.
