It’s the principle of committing wage theft, engaging in a contract (possibly verbal) and then keeping the promised compensation instead.

Lifetime plans are no longer available so, we’ve done you a favor and enrolled you in the pay-per-joke plan without your consent.

There should be criminal penalties for that kind of shit. Letting management off the hook without any personal consequences just encourages it.

He’s not. The individual that you’re replying to is known for extreme bad faith and reporting people who disagree with them. I recommend ignoring.

Thanks for this, non-voters.

Personally, I block pretty much all exclusionary communities for a few reasons:

• I frequently do not see the community name before looking at a thread and finding something interesting to converse on, partly because of my neurodivergences. This leads to breaking rules without intending to. Safer to block.

• I sometimes have experienced RSD as a symptom of my neurodivergences and thus intentionally take action to prevent it.

• I value inclusivity and anarchic social organization as fundamental parts of my ethical framework and find social exclusion based upon a person’s immutable traits incredibly offensive (the intensity of this is definitely related to my neurodivergences as well).

This is not to say that I don’t believe that women deserve a space where they have control and agency, especially with the immense amounts of misogyny on the Internet and meatspace. Nor do they need to consider my feelings nor any other man’s when deciding their rules and whether to be inclusive or exclusive.

I do, however, think that the hard-line exclusionary practices diminish the perspective, both for the participants and for men who could definitely use the insights into the bullshit that women have to continue to deal with. Lots of missed opportunity to build understanding and strengthen allyship. It also makes it easier for toxic exclusionary ideologies, like TERFs to take root (every group excluded makes it easier to excuse excluding another) while also preventing people who have not discovered their feminine gender identities from participating in conversation with other women in ways that could help them to uncover important things about themselves.

Anyway, enjoy and I hope that you find your space helpful to you, regardless of what myself or any other man feels about it. If the community does become inclusive, I’d definitely like to to know so that I can unblock it.

Maybe use satellite imaging or the like.

I think that they would be necessary still to respect the memory of the fiercely independent people and prevent corporate exploitation of the land.

“But if we avoid using the tools of democracy to create positive change and instead encourage people to not vote and be apathetic, we can make the human experience objectively worse for everyone. And, if we do it hard enough, and ensure that enough vulnerable people are sacrificed, it will magically turn those apathetic people into class l-conscious revolutionaries that are willing to die violent deaths for our version of utopia.”

I wish this were a “/s”.

Even new ones like Gemini.

I recently started the anime. Yeah. Pretty accurate. Luffy (main character) wants to become king of the pirates but has an ethical code similar to a knight-errant. His crew is very much the same. In one arc, they all risk their lives (including one of them who was still recovering from near-fatal wounds), initially because one of the crew was enslaved as a child by pirates that murdered their mother.

So, yeah. Pretty accurate.

How will this impact the people in the Epstein Files?

Would have been nice if automobile companies hadn’t sabotage public transport infrastructure to make a demand for their product and then barely received a slap on the wrist for it.

Honestly, I didn’t expect great reading comprehension or other skills necessary for clerical work from people who knowingly choose to be neo-nazis.

Eh. It’s a fine distro (I use it as one of my boots) but I really would steer new folks away from Arch as a first distro. The wiki is phenomenal but it’s not very ergonomic for people who don’t live in the terminal (like me), even with Discover.

I like type F for the symmetry. However, type K is smiling.

They really need to stop the passivity in headlines related to these atrocities. “Murdered” is the word, not the passive “killed” which could imply a lack of intent.
