I don’t disagree. I think if it’s an issue the users have the power to resolve it

Right, which is why I put the line after that in

I think they call that necrophilia and is generally frowned upon

I don’t get it either. Defederation is a tool just like banning or spam prevention. If it’s unused it’s pointless to have.

But you don’t ban everyone for a single offense just like to don’t defederate lightly. If you do then people will move elsewhere and the problem resolves itself

I’ve heard accounts both ways. I’m not quite old enough to have seen it new, but I’ve known people who said it was fantastic and people who said it was never better than it is now.

Shrug

It’s slow with bad pacing. There’s are things that are obviously supposed to look impressive but even if they ever did (for which there’s disagreement between the nerds old enough to remember) it absolutely did not age well. Those are the obvious ones off the top of my head without having watched it in a few years.

I guess I’ll have to give this HD director’s cut a shot but I’m pretty skeptical.

I’ll admit I haven’t seen that but it would have to be some impressive magic.

My wife has never managed to stay awake past the opening sweep around the Enterprise but I can’t say it really gets better.

I think while Insurrection and Nemesis are widely agreed as bad next gen movies I would argue they’re better than the worst original movies.

If you can’t acknowledge Motion Picture as bad I don’t know that we can have the discussion on a solid base though.

Lot of comments here with single down votes. I wonder how salty op is

Is it requiring a cell for being the 2fa piece? I don’t use GitHub but I’d be surprised if they did. There’s been plenty of options for a while now. Email, authenticators, u2f keys. You should be able to enable 2fa that will use the same data you’re using to access GitHub.

This should come up whenever someone says you just need to work hard to succeed and get a better job than fast food.

This man has grandchildren and hasn’t missed a day in 20 years. He’s not a teenager. He’s not lazy. He’s a real person who has worked his ass off, probably more every day than a lot of CEOs in a month.

And I bet he’s still happily making your lunch.

But pronouns are!

Nah. I’ve had a domain registered with them for years and I just got the email too

Just the cool people

Look for the little joys. Seriously. You know that light that always seems to be red when you get there? Celebrate the times it’s not rather than getting annoyed when it is. Make up words from the letters on a license and consider what might make a person want that. Come up with bad answers. Absurd ones. Find shapes in clouds.

Not all of that is easy but it can be worth the effort.

Happiness can be chosen, just not all the time. Look for the places you can and try to do it. Like anything it’ll get easier with practice.

*There are hard things that will make choosing happiness nigh impossible. If you find yourself in one of these places you need external help, very probably professional. It’s not weakness to acknowledge that any more than it is to see a doctor if you cut off your arm.

I get what you’re saying and while you’ve got a great point there’s something to be said for the way you’ve quoted there too.

Consider a monarchistic kingdom. The king enforces the system but the people uphold it by going along. If they gathered together they could easily topple the kingdom but without that effort it persists.

But in modern patriarchy that kingdom exists because of a combination of tradition and a few voices being given a lot of extra credence.

At the same time it all comes with assumptions about the participation level of men at large. That’s difficult to discern because of how much of it is internalized. Removed from all of that would they choose to continue oppressive behavior, fight against it, or somewhere in between?

I think for a lot of men it’s unconscious. They participate without considering. We often have to fight against deeply held beliefs being wrong, so if we know we’re good people and *ism is bad we must not be. So someone saying we are must have a reason for trying to make us think we are.

Often that reason is because we are and we need to improve but that’s not always easy to hear.

It is undeniable, however, that there are men at the top who stand to gain from its continuance and work to see that happen.

All in all I do both agree and disagree with you. None of this is meant to be upsetting or anything of the like. I could just see an alternative point of view that was both men at the top enforcing and non-enforcing men still hurting each other through the enforced system and wanted to make sure you had the opportunity to consider it.

prosthetics and bionics are taking leaps and bounds

Heh

There’s a Mitt Romney 37% joke in there somewhere

But yeah. It’s a terrible truth

Thanks for picking up where the summary dropped the ball

I can’t speak for Canada but the American unemployment system is broken like the rest of them are. It won’t pay enough for a lot of people. I know more than one person who wouldn’t get it at all after they got screwed over on an appeal which meant that they had to pay back what they were already sent, often many weeks later. If it’s not paid back then you just won’t receive unemployment until it is.

There’s also fields it can be hard to break in to. They tend to be small and insular so getting a bad rep from one can blackball you from your dreams. Doubly so or more if you’re a women or otherwise not a straight white Christian guy.

Cutting is also not an uncommon mental health issue. With any number of other things weighing down it can easily become a more reasonable seeming option.

There’s a whole world of experiences out there. A lot of people are desensitized to things you’d probably find outlandish.
