Really?

Why do the men discriminate against women?

Still doesn’t make sense to me, honestly. Why is he like this?

My laptop only supports expanding the RAM up to 12 GB IIRC. ~Red

Wow, I’m pretty sure my laptop has less RAM than that. ~Cherri

So nothing?.. ~Strawberry

Is there anything that can be done to make content moderation less traumatizing? ~Strawberry

I don’t mean pedophilia specifically. I mean the sort of people who think screaming at and hitting their kids is discipline for some reason as well, or the sort of people who deliberately deny necessary healthcare and education to their trans kid, etc. ~Strawberry

Does the calculation showing that it’s cheaper when accounting for inflation also account for wage stagnation? ~Strawberry

Not quite. The main groups who push this crap, IIRC, tend to be the same groups of far-right evangelicals who insist on homeschooling their children because “public schools are liberal indoctrination” and totally not because they’re trying to isolate their child so it’s easier to abuse them. ~Strawberry

I mean they can make up as many bullshit justifications as they want, but what they’re doing is abuse and they’re trying to make it easier to do. ~Strawberry

That does explain a fair bit, though I feel like it also leads to quite a few more questions. I’m not sure it’s quite healthy to try to dive much deeper. ~Strawberry

But why do they come up with stuff that kills people like this? ~Strawberry

I thought that the “drink bleach” thing was a joke. ~Strawberry

I’m guessing all we can do about it right now is beg the assholes to stop being assholes, wait several years and hope enough other people don’t like this enough to maybe vote out the politicians doing it and maybe overcome all of the gerrymandering, or just watch in horror? ~Strawberry

Wouldn’t that effectively restrict a lot of platforms to people age 16 or older? I am a bit worried that such an id law could cut off younger queer teens dealing with abuse that’s severe enough to qualify as abuse in the academic sense, but not in the eyes of the law, from vital community… ~Strawberry

Because they’re only a minority so they don’t count! /s ~Strawberry

Why do those commiting the violence do it? What’s the root cause that doesn’t just lead to questions if “why that”? Why is queer people existing “dishonorable”??? ~Strawberry

IIRC I2P can’t access the clear net and Tor is still absurdly slow. I’m not sure what to do there. ~Strawberry

It’s not like there aren’t already a lot of people trying to vote better people in, it just never seems to be enough… ~Strawberry
