Just like the old #needsmorelikes thread. Might as well start early.

@waetherman with a fine idea for keeping the lights on.

Get your Vapes and Headphones here

I’m not the one handling the expenses, but I want to throw in a word of caution; when affiliate links and donations start flying around, it’s likely to raise some thorny issues. Right now it’s all teacups and teletubbies, but eventually somebody is bound to wonder where it’s all going, and the somebody who is handling the money is going to have some expectations, and potentially some tax issues. Incorporating is going to be necessary at some point. I like the idea of a donation based model, at …

Seconded. Carried.

Oh hey, here’s a thing - unless this thread is to be stickied, perhaps a title edit is in order…

Because finding it via a search might be a pain. Maybe just delete the spaces?

[LNN] 22-year old 3dshacker groomed, planned to sex a minor below UK's age of consent

I’d love to see some cites for this, as @strokeybeard has already requested. Because for all the animals similar enough to be humans to be worth comparing, the norm us the exact opposite. Furthermore, this plays into the whole “they asked for it/they’re very sexual youngsters” BS. Kids will sometimes push the boundaries on “good touch/bad touch” just to learn where those boundaries are. That does NOT mean they’re asking for it. Older kids/teens can easily get pushed into situations they’re …

That lack of discipline and deliberation that you saw in other kids is exactly the problem. Any reasonable adults would have seen a bit of that childishness​ in you too even if you were working harder to be more mature. You were still growing and developing. Adults that aren’t turned off by that immaturity are by definition not looking for an equal relationship. They are attracted to that lack of maturity and lack of fully developed autonomy. Kids need to mature into mature relationships.…

Urinating Dog Statue added to the Fearless Girl facing Wall Street Bull Statue

You know what? I’m sorry this has been taken down, because it should keep going. I want someone to add a caricature of a Nazi sculpting the dog. I want a copy of The Thinker with a thought bubble reading “Whoever made this is stupid”, then another statue with a shirt that reads “No YOU’RE a stupid!” I want an Abraham Lincoln facepalming at them all, and a Richard Nixon giving him rabbit ears, and a crying Statue of Liberty, and a grave labeled REAL ART. I want this park to become a gallery crowd…

This is masterfully executed.

I agreed, and so I went and liked. Nice one @chenille!

Our so-called president

I’m hoping Canada’s Parliament will vote in favour of building a wall along our southern border with Hillary Clinton’s emails because a huge swath of Americans can’t get over them.

Idiot Anti-Diversity Broflake Sacked From Google - and becomes a hero to idiots everywhere

I think, by recognizing that it’s inevitable. The trade-off to having progressed is recognition of the ways in which others have not. Either you’re behind the curve, or you’re frustrated at those who are. The only world in which there are no crazy alt-right conservatives is the one in which you’re the craziest alt-right conservative, in which case you’re wasting your life getting upset about fluoride and the gay agenda. Sad! The problem with the 'net is that it’s constantly calling attention t…

On differences

I’ve come to a new understanding of my feelings about the BoingBoing BBS. I think of it now as the old Greyhound bus station on Cahuenga in Hollywood. They had these rows of black plastic molded seats with small coin-operated TVs built onto the armrests, the one time I rode into Hollywood on Greyhound (a 20th century rite of passage I wouldn’t recommend). Anyway, so yeah, I imagine some buddy of mine recommending a particularly talented busker who typically plays at the bus station on weekday…

Perspective people; they ain’t all USAians or from Canadia.

Andy's Put-Wealth-in-Check Global Emporium

Tell that to the girls who can’t go to school because someone in the family has to walk many miles every day to get water and/or the fuel (wood, peat, dung, etc.) necessary to boil it. Yes, people manage. But when you ask them, they’ll tell you they’d like to have a turn themselves at the conveniences we take for granted.

[gadgetgirl]

Yes. Some of them live in places designed for walkability, or that have usable transit systems.

North America (most of it) is not the pinnacle of urban design and transportation.

[Pogo]

Whole swaths of humanity live in places not designed for walkability, nor is there any public transportation.

[gadgetgirl]

That’s true. That’s why I’m not against cars entirely. I just don’t see them as an end solution for all cases where they are currently needed.

[AndyHilmer]

That would be why Europe, China, and Japan use trains?

Anyway, apart from some folks still trying to polish the Insufficient Intelligent AI fece, there’s been some good discussion.
