So… is that a yes?

Been programming since the 80s, ditto.

It’s not the Scotsman fallacy. You don’t even address the arguments and try to show how it is.

“Your body my choice” has genuinely been the goal for a generation. They’ve been salivating to have RvW torn down probably your entire life. The only thing that was missing was the pithy slogan, but the sentiment existed, openly.

It is a rhetorical device. Do you really need that explained or are you just employing one of your own by pretending to be obtuse?

Perhaps abstractly. But not if you are a movie maker who enjoys making movies and isn’t starving.

That has nothing to do with why we avoid such slurs; they harm people OTHER than whomever you are trying to harm.

You only have the incel’s account of things.

… so badly that you quit your job??

If children go there unattended, I think it’s probably okay. Other than all the frigging children.

not a damn thing gay about it. maybe you posted to the wrong thread.

By being sexist.

That’s like saying it’s okay to call someone a fag if they are a homophobe.

…you think this is meant to be activism? Indeed, you think this IS (the lamest form of) activism???

I’d rather watch John Carpenter’s The Fog. The Mist was such a disappointing read. It doesn’t go anywhere, it’s just a bunch of pointless experiences that ends on a random page.

Steven King doesn’t make movies…!? I guess reading one of his dreadful books that never saw a professional editor is too much for a performative gag.

Police exist to protect the citizens from criminals.

But they don’t. They exist to protect the STATE from CITIZENS, in the same way the military exists to protect the state from foreign aggression. Police are the only people empowered to do violence to citizens of a state, and they do it on behalf if the interests of that state. That is their genuine and explicit reason for existing.

De-escalation is when they go from two guys pointing guns at you to one guy pointing a gun and one guy hitting you with an asp. And I am not joking. It relates to the use of force continuum.

Computers aren’t cool anymore.
