How is it a nightmare that I’m allowed to say “I’m not consenting to this shit”?!

Now they’re planning to revoke that right. Nightmare gone?

A hit in the neck is definitely a miss from an intended target anyway. Can’t say how much or to what direction. It could have been that there’s been a target where the bullet would fly 30 cm behind the person to be guarded, but the bullet is taking a trajectory 10 cm off the intended and the person happens to their head 20 cm backwards just at the crucial moment.

But, I do believe that someone wanted that guy dead. I can imagine someone figuring that “he’s actively advocating killing politicians you don’t like, and I don’t like him. Therefore I am following his own instructions and this is acceptable.”

I personally think it’s a bad idea to kill a person like that, because it probably causes other people to get shot as well. It’s not a culture I want to see spread. But at least I do not see it morally as a very big problem that a person explicitly says that something is acceptable and then that thing is done to him. He wanted a certain kind of society and he got the kind of society he wanted. If there is life after death, he can spend that time being content of having changed the society.

What I’m saying is that there was a very much raised likelihood that someone kills him intentionally.

You’re acting like it’s a physical impossibility…

Why would it be a physical impossibility? Doesn’t seem to be for me. Or have I just thought what I do is hugging while in reality it’s not? Please elaborate.

Men secure in their own masculinity don’t have any problems hugging other men. And insecure men likely have toxic traits that make them bad friends.

Yes. How many men are secure in their masculinity? 5%? If the remaining 95 % can only have those 5 % as their friends, how do they find sufficient time for all that friendship?

For most men non-toxic men are not available for friendships. And especially: I don’t want to be friends with a toxic asshole, regardless of how much he moght (unbeknownst to himself…) need my friendship.

Most have no idea they need a hug.

They don’t want to because it would be gay. They want to be real men. And they feel sad and lonely and lost. If someone somehow got them to understand that all we men really need to do in order to be actually happy is to hug each other, this world would stop being a nightmare for us all.

That’s not really enough.

Also, such a small part of men are able to hug other men that if everybody needed to have those few as their friends, they’d very quickly run out of friendship capacity.

A natural death at an old age?

Nah, nazis deserve much worse than these asses.

The same thing happens to me with various things, roughly at a pace of 2-ish per year. It’s always weird. Like, apparently this thing has been common since the seventies, but somehow I stumbled about it only now and now I keep encountering it all the damn time!

I guess it’s a combination of your interests having changed a tiny little bit and your brain having ignored the unknown word as irrelevant until you learn about it. If you don’t believe, watch this short video and you will get what I mean:

It annoys me that my human brain works like this. It means I cannot really trust it.

From Finland. So, the answer is extremely easy to answer: Our eastern neighbour having turned fascist and their Ruler having declared they want to make my country part of said neighbour.

While I disagree with the teenagers’ ability to find my banking passwords regardless of where I hide them, for example because I can make a copy of them that has been altered with a password I can calculate in my head and that takes the location of the password on the table into account in the calculation, the rest is true.

I remember having seen things I really wouldn’t want to see even as adult when I was browsing Internet for stuff that wasn’t supposed to be available. Shady websites can be shady in so many ways! It is true that making an age verification system for a basic porn site will probably direct the youth to other sites with content you wouldn’t see on PornTube. I hope my children won’t ever watch porn, but if they ever do, I hope it’s from a source that doesn’t allow the worst things to be shown. For example PornHub does remove the worst stuff and is quite commonly used. If that one cannot be accessed, then probably something else will. And it’s likely to be worse. Though, PornHub has a lot of really bad abusive things as well. Checked it out now and one of the first videos it showed was something that looked like the woman is really unhappy, even distressed, about the situation she’s being filmed in :(

Beautifully said. I wish people on Internet could behave like you in this comment. Have a virtual hug, you are awesome! :)

You can’t build a completely teenager-proof system. But you can build a system that is almost completely teenage-proof. And that’s definitely good enough!

All such systems exist only to support parents in their parenting. It gets easier keeping your children safe and developing well if the amount of ways the teenagers can be idiots is narrowed down.

Despite what who think? I don’t think there are people who think people in USA are not human beings. (Or if they are, they are less than one percent of the world population… Of course within 8 billion people you will find a proponent for any opinion…)

But yeah, since you care about humanity’s liberty as a whole, you could maybe kindly stop undermining that goal by assuming that what is done by under 5% of the population on this planet is the standard that the remaining 95 % are following.

I wasn’t being eurocentric. I was being Asia-Africa-Australia-South America-Europe-Canada-Mexico-Central America-Caribbea centric. The only country where most of the right want to reduce gun safety is USA. We are talking in an international forum, so here international concepts count, not nation-specific. Typically in the world right-wingers are for safety and typically in the world the politics of the Democrat party count as right-wing.

When in a conversation not specific to USA it is not okay to speak as if everything was about USA. It is not okay to speak as if there was a left-wing party in US Congress or Senate and it is not okay to claim that the right wants more dangerous gun policies.

And here we’re talking about something that takes place most prominently in UK and secondly in a bunch of other countries, but absolutely not in USA. USA has nothing to do with this, so don’t be as insolent as you were.

(Also, for example Australia is not in Europe. Learn some geography.)

Doesn’t change political narrative being pushed by both major political parties in the US, where in the left supposedly wants guns banned, and the right wants everyone armed.

How is US relevant in this discussion?

Online banking passwords? “Find”? How the hell? Have you lived in a barrel?

There is a 8-number code that I’ve got in my head, then there is a 4-number password that I’ve also got in my head. And then a paper with single-use passwords which work so that when I have given the two correct passwords, it tells me which code to use. And no way am I giving full access to my bank account for my children!

Some banks also have a system where you log in with your fingerprint and then a four-number code using an app on your phone.

I think the money on the parents’ accounts is a much better motivation for the children than an ability to watch porn. And yet, I have not heard of anybody’s children actually having found out their parent’s bank passwords.

And also: Maybe there really is a child that installs a keylogger on their parents’ computer and steals the password paper from the parents’ wallet and also happens to really want to go out of their way to watch porn… Well, then there is. Such a child is already in so many ways in trouble that I don’t think seeing porn will traumatize them at all. Such children are few and it makes no sense trying to build a 100-percent foolproof system. In any case, using online banking passwords is a lot more reliable way than the weird hocus-pocus being done now.

In Finland you could handle this by having people authenticate using their online bank passwords. A LOT of government stuff already works that way, so it would require almost no extra coding at least over here. I wonder why it cannot be done the same way in England?

The right is typically for gun control. Only one country comes to my mind where they aren’t. Which one were you thinking about? Or is it more common than I thought?

(Or did you just happen to forget that 95 % of Earth’s population exists?)

EDIT: Oh, and also: It is important to keep in mind that it’s the same within the left. There are also left-wingers who prefer authoritarianism and ones who despise it. I do agree with your sentiment: The left-right division does not work very well in our current world. Need to take best parts of everything, but most importantly, make sure we don’t end up under totalitarian rule!

There may also have been a series of simple pictures that someone had put next to each other, then someone else figuring out “hey, if I make the symbols simple enough and draw a lot of them, I can actually record stories completely accurately!”

In that case, the reading would come first, as the reader would be the first one to interpret the simplistic images as text.

They’re also not trying to suggest any tactics

But thety are indeed using tactics, and you’re complaining that they are wrong because they aren’t the same you are using.
