In what universe is South Korea a “US colony”?

Edit: oh, wait, .ml username. Deranged opinions are a default

what

“No trash cans?! Goddamnit, all I wanted was to throw my candy wrapper away but now I’m going to shit on the ground on principle”

“Most”?

I guess that depends on what you think smells fishy, but so far I haven’t, er, run into a single pussy that smelled like fish without the person in question having some sort of a medical issue

If someone’s pussy smells like fish, that’s probably a medical condition.

Real permavirgin post, top marks

I think later he made a statement that he had re-thought it

afaict only thing he’s re-thought is this:

Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it.

Through personal conversations in recent years, I’ve learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per psychologically. This changed my mind about the matter: I think adults should not do that. I am grateful for the conversations that enabled me to understand why.

But as that blog post points out:

This statement from Stallman has been accepted by his defenders as evidence of his capitulation on pedophilia. I argue that this statement is misleading due to the particular way Stallman uses the word “child”. When Stallman uses this word, he does so with a very specific meaning, which he explains on his website:

Children: Humans up to age 12 or 13 are children. After that, they become adolescents or teenagers. Let’s resist the practice of infantilizing teenagers, by not calling them “children”.

— stallman.org, “Anti-glossary”

It seems clear from this definition is that Stallman’s comments are not a capitulation at all. His 2019 retraction, when interpreted using his definition of “children”, does not contradict most of Stallman’s past statements regarding sex and minors, including his widely criticized defenses of many people accused of sexual impropriety with minors.

Sure, but that doesn’t change the situation

Legit question.

I think we all know it isn’t

I think we might actually see a new age of nuclear proliferation; over 50% of the current nuclear-armed states are more or less authoritarian, and nuclear blackmail has gotten very common. More and more states are waking up to the fact that they need their own nuclear deterrent, and eg. the US “nuclear umbrella” isn’t reliable

Riiiight, like the Nazis wanted Jews to “voluntarily migrate” until they just started murdering them on an industrial scale?

So it’s fine as long as they’re not literally murdering people?

Just like the Marines refused to be deployed to California

His accusations really aren’t that far off from what I’ve seen from eg. some Finnish officers – not specifically related to the drone unit but to the Ukrainian military itself.

While I have no doubt that there are a lot of very professionally run units in Ukraine, quite a few of them still have many of the issues that come with being a post-Soviet military. They’re not quite as egregiously bad as Russia’s, thankfully, but when the general staff and a lot of the senior officers are mainly Soviet-trained, it’s hard to get rid of that sort of thinking

Hanlon’s Razor is all well and good as a heuristic, but tends to lead to people discounting malice much too often. Also, I really didn’t say we were “under attack”

I absolutely don’t know, but my guess would be spambots or somesuch

If the data you’re handling isn’t sensitive in any way (or you can eg. anonymise / pseudonymise it) and you don’t have anything else sensitive on the VM, it wouldn’t really matter either way – and as @MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.dbzer0.com said, if you’re running an executable from some yarrr site you’re probably going to get malware

Just run it in a VM?

But isn’t that still your pride talking?

I guess what I’m trying to get at here is that I doubt the people giving the gift see your son (or you) as a charity case. To your son’s best friend it’s just about giving his bestie a gift he knows he’ll like

If they’re actually wealthy and they said this was just chump change for them, and it was a gift, I just don’t quite see where the “unhealthy dynamic” is. You sure this isn’t just about pride?

If they’re fine with it, what’s the problem exactly?
