Yes. But I’m not paid continuously for the work I’ve done in the past, and I’m not paid the actual value of my work.

Should we still be paying Homer for his incredible work on the Iliad, do you think?

I work for a living, so I’m used to my work being exploited as a matter of course.

Nah mate. Information is free the second it leaves its source. Any attempt to curtail it after then is just a cunt’s trick.

Jesus Christ. Put this poor sad dog out of its misery already. Pasture, barn, in the house where it can’t do any damage, whatever. Just take it away from all responsibility.

I prefer my mechanical stress calculations in millidynes per square kiloparsec thank you very much.

This may be satire, but the point is it’s ~700 times more likely to happen than a cis man transitioning just so he can go into a women’s bathroom and assault the women in there, which is apparently the existential threat to society that forced us to be so vigilant about who’s using which fucking toilet. Just saying.

Yep - done.

So the answer is not to react? Then they will just continue to do fascist shit. It’s not a win for them if we resist. It’s just not.

So here’s my main critique: tor browsers and getting organised, as you put it, is not an alternative. The only way of organising at scale at the moment is protest. They could be better executed, they could be more effective, they should be refined for sure. But nixing protest because it’s what the enemy expects is like fighting with both arms tied behind your back for fear of damaging your opponent.
They don’t want protests, they’re just expecting them, because it’s all that can be done at scale.
Resistance should include private communication, small operations, protests and everything in between. ALL levers should be pulled, including mass protest.

France and Germany are using in ovo sexing since 2022, there is a total ban on chick culling in both countries, and a lot of EU countries are planning to follow them.
It’s the one bright side of that wiki article.
(It’s also mad that France led the way on humane treatment of food animals, see: gavage; ortolan bunting)

Cloister the Stupid? The Holy Poppadom?

You’re saying that social media is not the real cause of the youth mental health crisis? Do you propose a different cause? Because I know of a good few, very well-qualified people (of varying ages) that might explicitly disagree with you…

It isn’t, though. The word raze comes from the French, raser (shave) where the word raise comes from old Norse ræran (to rear). Both have been in use with separate meanings since middle English (1100s) and here is an example of the usage with Z from 1669:

Earths…which the…salt in the water razeth off from several rocks.

~W. Simpson, Hydrologia Chymica 361

Nope. Raze is the correct spelling in British English

There’s also the fact that they are too explosive to conform to flight safety standards.

I wish more people realised this. Well said comrade.

That’s why they stopped at three. The fourth bridge always takes forever to paint.
