@auspice Wait. You mean firing someone that was a part of a group that enabled and allowed his behaviour didn't instantly solve everything? Oh my word.

@rnmissionrun Y'all motherfeckers need socialism.

All good answers, of course. However, one rather important point to remember:

We aren't the community. We're just a tiny backwards little part of it. So our answers won't necessarily be reflective of MU*ing in general.

@kumakun said in What's out there now and what has been attempted? A codebase discussion.:

How does your favorite client handle spawns?

It doesn't.

@surreality Is it just wasabi, or other piquant foodstuffs as well?

And your timezone, too. 'Evening' isn't all that helpful.

@thenomain I'm in the public education system, man. We're still working from 1893.

@thenomain True, though there's a great deal of distance. So it's a different kind of social, I think.

what did people who weren't us like back in the day?

Other people!

@derp It's absolutely not absurd. It's the truth.

@derp said in RL Anger:

IT IS NOT A BAD THING TO ASK PEOPLE TO TAKE STEPS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, FULL STOP.

IT IS WHEN LITERALLY ANY SITUATION COULD LEAD TO BEING RAPED IF YOU ARE A WOMAN AND A MAN IS STRONGER THAN YOU ARE.

@derp said in RL Anger:

Jesus fucking christ, are we really having this conversation?

Yes, because you're too mind-numbingly stupid to realise that women really don't need reminding about how they need to look after themselves. It's drilled into them from the time they can walk.

If I get shot, nobody sensible is going to be giving me helpful tips like "don't go out without a bullet-proof vest."

The predatory and criminal behaviour is the only matter of concern. Literally the only one.

that asking women to take steps to protect themselves is not a bad thing

It is when it's literally all they hear every single time this sort of thing happens.

Yet more "don't get raped" rather than "don't rape." Charming.

I guess it is possible the rapists don't know about the "don't rape" thing.

Possible. In which case they need reminding.

Yet more "don't get raped" rather than "don't rape." Charming.

If it's fifty-nine degrees, but feels sixty-four (by whatever metric this app is using to decide such things) then SAY it's sixty-four. I'm not a farmer, I don't need to know the temperature of the air and the soil, I need to know why it's so sticky at nine am.

@derp Nah, the cat is a public defender and he's taking the only five seconds free he has all year to nap.
