  we can even acknowledge that a lot of men have raped people without knowing it

  I wouldn’t go as far as to call them rapists because that was not their intention

  I see what you’re getting at, but I really wouldn’t use that word in any context where there might have been, for example, a power dynamic or some form of coercion, for example. Keeping it reserved for situations where violence or significant coercion are involved is better for everyone, especially the victims.

  Doesn’t mean using mild coercion/emotional blackmail/pestering/shaming/… is okay behaviour, it’s just way less severe because saying no won’t usually do much beyond change the relationship between the people involved. Talking about that is fine and good, using “rape” to describe it will probably shut down any conversation before it can even begin, though.

  I’d also argue that that sort of behaviour is something both men and women engage in, maybe in different ways but, well, the expectation on men is to always be sexually available, so it sometimes becomes an issue when they are not. Mutual respect and understanding really are the most important things in a relationship, both participants are fully realized human beings, not just “the girlfriend/wife” or “the boyfriend/husband”. But people seem to forget that some time.

  I’m surprised that they are surprised by this as well. What did they expect, and why? How much of this is written to imply LLMs - their business - are more advanced/capable than they actually are?

  People hate on fictional characters all the time though.

  There is a lot of overlap, TERFs usually have a problem with trans women because they deeply mistrust men. The “R” is there for a reason.

  Yep, it is straight-up malware. Just like most mail clients on Android and especially iOS.

  We still have mass phenomenons and bringing 100 people together is plenty. What’s probably missing is local community.

  That’s fair, I agree. I just find it a bit concerning that random people who try to make money off of affiliate links are encouraged to join this lawsuit about a client-side browser addon. I totally understand why people who have had sponsorship agreements with them would sue, but that’s purely between the two businesses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LegalEagle Suing PayPal's Honey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hope this case won’t be used against consumers in the future. If I want to use/make an extension that scrubs all affiliate links and cookies that should be legal, same with an extension that replaces all links/cookies with one I want to support. Advertisers and their partners have no rights to anything being stored/done on my devices.

  Not defending what Paypal was doing, but the real issue for me is that they had no intention of actually finding the best codes/discounts, not what they did with affiliate links.

  Their FAQ says that they haven’t tested this with KVM switches but that it should work. PiKVM doesn’t always work well with switches, hoping this will be better. Because off-the-shelf IPKVM switches all seem rubbish, overpriced or both.

  In the case of MAGA it’s more about Trump telling them it’s the minorities fault.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are a lot more alike than we are different⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Problem is that people are easily told that their less-than-optimal situation is the fault of those people, regardless of it being true or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are a lot more alike than we are different⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It may be more directed at them than you.

  Well, there’s also “punk goes pop” stuff

  My favorite. Those lyrics were surprisingly unsettling.
