@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 …

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

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…

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.

Toward Better Communications on the BBS

I mean consider. Think about what you do and where it doesn’t work well, figure out what you can to improve it, and certainly ask as needed. But that has to be with the honest intention of making communicating with you easier for them. For instance, this question doesn’t count at all because it is evidently rhetorical – you’ve started talking about how you want your communications to work before even hearing me answer. It’s all well and good to say communication is between equals, but that doe…

I don’t know if this is appropriate game etiquette, or not, but I really enjoyed these posts.

I literally (as in the literal meaning of “literally”, and not the figurative meaning, over which I will fight you) laughed out loud. More than once.

Redoubtable Downtown Space Abbey - The Leviathan Club

"A pleasure to meet you, Dr. Franksenketchup (@Old). Your ‘biological creations’ idea reminds me of an awful rumor I’d heard recently, from the Historical Society. The story — although only God knows its veracity — is that someone, when asked for their heraldry, provided a drawing of a coat — that is to say, the garment — with humanoid arms growing on it. "Can you imagine? I can understand messing up the tinctures and mistakenly ending up with armes à enquérir, but in this case, the owner mu…

After all, to other up (“Fuck you pig!” from a poor PoC) is awesome and is a fundamentally different act than to other down (“The poor are stupid.” from a rich white lady). No. No, no, no, damn it, for the love of all that’s good in the world, NO. The rich white person who thinks that people on welfare thinks that they’re punching up. The “free speech advocates” who quote Strom (and attribute to Voltaire) and say, “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to cri…
