I don't get that though, if a bird flu pandemic happens it would mainly affect and kill off his base
Great good faith response to my comment, for sure
I think you underestimate how many people might not have a complete understanding of consent, and just dismissing it outright like this isn't.. as productive as you might think it is
You say that, but there is a historical basis to making a point out of it
For example, martial rape wasn't considered rape or even sexual assault for a long time. And many people might also take someone not saying no as implicit consent, which is not necessarily the case
It can be a bit more nuanced than it may initially seem, in the sense that like, there can be different understandings of consent
Buuuut of course I don't know the context of your conversation
Marx when contradictions of capitalism:
That's a big assumption about who I am, what I do, and my abilities, isn't it?
You don't know everything, and your experiences aren't universal, you know
There have definitively been multiple times windows systems bricked themselves on me without it being my fault
It's not rarer than Linux systems bricking in my experience. In addition, Linux systems tend to be a lot more fixable, but with windows being just a black box sometimes you're just shit out of luck and have to reinstall
I don't know if that analogy fully works. Bees get safety, they get a maintained home, as a colony they get healthcare from pests and similar, they get security when things get rough
Yes, they do more work, but the beekeeper also cares for them, and ensures their survival to a greater degree
Not to mention, they're not caged, they're free to leave
Is this a regional thing? People don't really use she or he for animals here. I live in Europe for reference
Probably doesn't help that 'she' and 'dog' sound very similar in my language
Yes
It's worth to keep in mind that whether something is disparaging or not depends on the intention, and the context. Similar to how, say, "gay" can be used both positively and negatively, for example, "that's so gay".
So why do some people like it/its? You'd need to ask the relevant person, there can be different reasons that are ultimately personal.
But here's one way to think about it: We use 'it' for animals, right? Like if we have a dog, which we love, we often will still say 'it' for it, right? But that doesn't mean we value it less, or somehow objectify it, or treat it like an object. We still acknowledge and respect it as a living breathing feeling being, and yet we may still use 'it' for it. This may be one way people might think of using it/its for themselves, at least!
And also there's something about the vibe of it/its, I dunno, it's hard to describe, but it is kinda growing on me a little bit as well
Uh, did you try to use public transit at all?
That's fair, but unless what you do requires windows in some way (like, say, Photoshop), Linux tends to be better for productivity as well, if you learn it
But of course, I understand that it takes some upfront work and learning to change your workflow, so I don't blame people for not doing it
That's mostly what I was referring to in my latter paragraph, yes
But the important takeaway is that it's not the core of what pornography is
seeing violence is probably worse than seeing sex
Yes, I mean, one is (ideally) about two (or more) people enjoying time they have together in an intimate way, the other is about hurting one another maliciously. I certainly prefer one of these things to be more prominent than the other
There is a discussion to be had about stuff like objectification and porn that doesn't depict people like, consenting, and such, but at least in an ideal I'd much rather have media that focuses on pleasure and love than hate and suffering
"you keep messing with that thing and it'll fall off and you'll turn into a girl"
On one hand, fucking horrible thing to say on a child
On the other.. probably would not have the effect they would intend on a certin chunk of the population lmao
You know nazi Germany started with queer people right
It's a bit tone deaf to throw groups under the bus like this. There is no prioritization, we're all in this together. We all fight together. You will get nowhere if you exclude people from the fight
Queer people are also way more than 1%, not that that's too relevant, we are all part of small minorities in some ways
Huh? Did you reply to the right post?
Omg cute keyboard background
Ok but that's really fucking funny
It's just messing with you at that point
Okay, you edited your comment, so then let me add another one
The US and Norway have roughly equivalent GDP per capita. Norway is also a very rugged country with tons of mountainous terrain. It's pretty much the worst case scenario for land infrastructure development. It having a small population also makes it a greater challenge for finding workers. More people is better economically speaking
The US doesn't really have any excuse here
