Oh man This post just awoke a REAL old memory for me. Growing up my dad had these two old beat up flashlights. I looked them up and found this https://www.etsy.com/listing/1027765511/eveready-no1359-safety-flashlight.

I always thought they had a cool design.

Beg pardon, but are you male or female?

Lets be honest. Most people buy stuff to impress other people. At this stage in my life I have no fucks to give about that any more.

And nobody posted This yet!? The Roomba That Screams When it Bumps Into Stuff

Of all the places to do this to, why The Archive?

You act like that’s any different from any other fortune 500 company.

The winner.

eh, my gout is acting up…

Hey, if you got to enjoy that feature from reddit like me, you’d be paranoid too

I know. They’re the ones I feel for, they’ll be the ones choking to death on the ash of a dead world.

You don’t choose to be straight, you don’t choose to be gay

I was going to add that to my argument, but i felt that it would get twisted into someone saying that gay people are pedophiles. I didn’t feel like arguing that point.

I’ve used it for that too, but even that’s going away. Pretty soon I think ISP’s (or governments) will clamp down on VPN’s. Or they will make the argument that if you want to use a VPN, then you can only use “THEIR” VPN

I personally think that pedophilia is genetic, or a chemical brain imbalance or something. There has to be something that would cause someone to do something they know that it they get caught, their life is over.

It’s like Louie CK’s joke from his SNL appearance. To paraphrase “I love Mounds bars, but if you told me I would be thrown in jail and raped or killed, I wouldn’t eat one ever again”

I will admit that I don’t understand the the hardline stance some people take about legal/non legal dating. There is only a years difference between a 17 year old and an 18 year old. (even less depending on date of birth. Both of them have had the same life experiences as the other. But some screech that is sexual assault of a minor.

The even weirder argument is an age difference between a “legal” 18 year old (or whatever the legal age is in your country) and someone older. I’ve seen people online try to cancel someone just because he is 5 years older.

I don’t think people realize how quietly dangerous this is for women. It robs them of their agency to make their own informed decisions. This is just as insidious as people wanting to ban abortion, just a quieter argument.

Probably. It’s over now whatever it was.

You’re the one who made the argument that there were plenty of uses. The onus is on you to back up your suppositions. Not me.

Then I wonder what the problem was?

List them. 90% of websites I visit have either reduced features (ie; can’t post or comment) or completely block any access to them when using a VPN.

Except i don’t run it when I’m on lemmy.

I wasn’t getting anything. I would press the post button and it would just endlessly loop and never post.
