I don’t agree. I think shutting down places that promote bigotry and slurs is good.

If they just want to run a minecraft server, they easily can. They just can’t also use that as a place to promote hatred and bigotry.

What you’re making is a slippery slope argument that doesn’t really hold water.

Ngl, whenever “libertarians” get their hackles up about needing a right to “free speech”, I always suspect they mean bigotry and slurs.

Stephen Chow’s action comedy movies. Phenomenal stuff. Some of the earlier films are steeped in Chinese folk lore in a way that doesn’t really work for me since I didn’t grow up hearing that, but the rest of em are just stellar, barring a few jokes that haven’t aged well.

That sounds better. My friend is working in their field, but the positions are set up knowing that they’ll mostly be applied for by PhD students with masters degrees during their coursework, so they know they can pay like crap and they’ll take it anyway. All my understanding of these systems come from the US way, so it’s nice to know it’s better elsewhere.

I’m not sure, though I don’t think I’d use the word greed or entitlement there. That said, I think people who aren’t working through their doctorate often don’t appreciate just how lucky they are to avoid such a burden. A friend of mine was kvetching about a fellow in their cohort complaining about how the dissertation scheduling was interfering with their European vacation holiday while my friend is trying to pick up as many shifts as they can at two part time jobs that wildly underpay them for their education level. My friend never has a consistent schedule and never seems to have more than maybe ten hours of free time a week outside of sleeping. That person is entitled and clueless.

That all said, I don’t think you need to take the words of anyone on social media or an internet forum all that seriously or personally.

Personally? The academic system seems utterly fucked up and abusive. In a way that favors education for the few that can mitigate the pains of capitalism already.

There’s two kinds of people I’ve met pursuing doctorates.

Those who are independently wealthy and don’t need to work while pursuing it and those who aren’t and do.

Both seem incredibly stressed and depressed almost consistently. Though the latter seem to be, understandably, bitter at the lamentations of the former.

For shame for you to say that Star Trek has run on too long.

We need messages about cooperating to create a classless, moneyless society of benevolent people now more than ever.

They either already have a buyer set up before the heist (seems unlikely, things that probably just happen in movies) or far more likely, cut it up into unrecognizable gemstones then sell it

Oh, honey, it’s not about protecting people…

I dunno about harder, but this is absolutely a thing that is very rarely discussed.

I have a friend who is very conventionally attractive and the stories I hear about the way people treat them absolutely blows my mind. The out of pocket things people think they’re entitled to say, from passersby on the street to medical professionals, the way they are literally predated upon, it’s vile.

Sure, they get the benefits of being hot, it’s a social lubricant for sure, but what they go through because of it sounds utterly exhausting.

They’re wildly intelligent and absurdly hardworking to boot. But people don’t take them as seriously as they should because all some people see is the flesh they’re contained in. That particular issue affects both the conventionally attractive and the non-. Our society seems too obsessed with looks on the whole, to our collective detriment.

Dunno how old you are, but we got internet when I was about ten years old and lemme tell you it’s always been there.

Imma guess, like most things it seems, they always have been, we just see it more thanks to the internet.

It’s seventeen minutes after you replied to me and I can not only see your reply, I’ve upvoted it and made this reply.

I’m pretty sure blocking goes one way. You can’t see their posts but they can see and reply to yours.

Doesn’t look like it solves the main issues with showers, tricky for different height partners to fuck in

This is the primary barrier to technological and social progress. We all know shower sex is hotter than bedroom sex, despite the difficulties involved. Any device hoping to pioneer the future of hygiene must resolve this crucial issue humanity faces.
