Would edo period Japanese even have exclamation marks?

It’s just fucked that in a time where Nick Fuentes is getting mainstream airtime, organizations which claim to fight antisemitism are often more concerned with justifying Gaza.

“Antisemitism” has been redefined to mean opposition to the genocide of Palestinians.

I broke my foot and didn’t get medical care like 3 years ago, and now it lets me know.

There are others aimed at adults, too, like mini versions of classic branded products (Kitchenaid stand mixer, Kraft mac and cheese box, etc)

Those mini verse often contain UV resin, without thoroughly explaining the safety risks of working with resin. It’s kind of amazing how they are able to get away with selling those kits - children certainly by them too.

Resin releases fumes and can cause you to develop a permanent sensitivity. Some of the kits are designed in such a way that the resin isn’t going to fully cure unless you do it in thin layers.

Reminds me of a short story.

“It’s a concrete puppy,” Cross told him. “With a lead core. Painted to look like a Dalmatian. Weighs almost seventy pounds. Fong did it. Nice job, huh?”

“What’s it for?” Princess asked.

“It’s a lie detector,” Cross said.

The sad thing is what destroyed his career was more his inability to meet deadlines than any form of sexual misconduct.

There is an entire erotica sub genre about this. Don’t look up “dolcett.”

This is what Dworkin essentially argues in Intercourse. Which Rush Limbaugh read as “all sex is rape.”

They did update the standards to include it, and it is more common now for people to know about it now. There was a high school robotics team I remember that might have done something to help with some search for the mass graves, and I know a local university has done field trips to Greenwood.

Viola Fletcher passed away a few months ago. Never got any form of reparations.

Graduated from an Oklahoma high school, and it was never discussed.

Some of you realize your jobs are really unimportant

Don’t “police, teachers, garbage collectors and fireman” kinda rely on other professions to do their jobs? Why do you need to put other workers down? Pretty sure as a teacher I relied on a school bus driver to get the students to me, an HVAC guy to make sure that the building was comfortable, architects and construction workers to create the building, electricians……….

The comments you are leaving seem to me like compassion fatigue and burnout.

Wouldn’t the ideal be self hosted content made by the people hosting it? Obviously there’s no mechanical means to block people from uploading content that they don’t make, but those kinds of ethical questions and control of access can be handled by federation networks.

Decentralizing these things could lead to a better way for sex workers to work safely (SESTA/FOSTA closed up a lot of safer avenues for sex work in the US) There’s a lot of rules for trust that you can build into these systems, things like basic encryption with private and public keys.

Someone who didn’t want their content online could take it down easily. They could easily gate it - like, think about where most of the profit the actresses and actors videos go to now? If you are watching stuff for free on a website, it’s the website getting ad revenue and maybe the company. Do they get royalties? Workers should own the means of their reproduction.

Gay for pay shit is often fucked up too. There you go. I think it’s actually harmful as shit that a lot of queer boys grow up with no access to actual sex ed and learn how to do things from porn.

What proportion is there of straight porn to gay porn?

Porn does not equal masturbation. And talking about masturbation in a beginning of the year ice breaker activity is not appropriate anyway.

I don’t understand the conflation here. I had said nothing about masturbation, which is healthy and fine. It’s problematic however, that 15 year olds are exposed to hard core BDSM shit with no explanation that while yes, some women do like it if you hit or choke them, those are not part and parcel of normal sex and should be carefully negotiated.

There’s been a huge uptick in kids choking each other, because they see it in porn. Choking is something that a lot of actual BDSM dungeons ban because it is that unsafe.

I think one of the things with “no ethical consumption under capitalism” is that no one “needs” real people porn. Erotica and drawn images are amply available, there’s no need for another human being to be potentially harmed.

Isn’t social shaming “action”?

Maybe when someone posts that “blacked” meme, of Piper Perri surrounded by five men, point out 1) that the image is racist as shit, and 2) that Piper Perri’s boyfriend killed her baby, and that comments joking about this are common on her videos and discussions about her?

My first year teaching, we played “hangman” and the kids came up with their own words (I was stupid to allow this). One of them chose “Pornhub.” Maybe talking about jerking it should be something that isn’t so normalized that kids feel comfortable doing that?

You could also report porn that is suspicious in provenance? Ask your bros, if they bring up a porn star what they think about this issues?

Advocating for social change in the way we talk about these things isn’t “virtue signaling.”

I get him confused with “bhad babby” or however you spell it - the “catch me outside” girl who got sent to sexual abuse and torture camp on Dr Phil

She would never acknowledge the fact that she wanted me aborted, so it’s not something I’ve heard justified. This is a family tree defined by sexual violence, so there are a lot of topics which exist in that liminal space.

Republican women live in a world that is governed by fear and control. Abortion being an option removes that aspect of fear. There is something in it that works the same way a “kink” does, that if one follows the rules and takes the hurt, everything works out in the end. Why would you take out the hurt/is it actually a feasible option to take out the hurt?

But to actually answer your question, asking her the question would just not get a response.

Everyone should read Dworkin’s Right Wing Women.
