You’ve Got Mail!

… Jk, I never have mail 😔

kofe ,

I mean, I think everyone is deserving of sympathy to some degree. Doesn’t mean excusing poor behavior, but it can help in understanding and preventing

kofe ,

Uh. Federal law is that cannabis is illegal, yet that doesn’t stop sales. It does effect prosecution when feds decide to, for sure.

kofe ,

In theory, yes, but that should be the point of education and social programs tbh. Even then, restorative justice models don’t rely as heavily on jail/prison. Temporary and maybe permanent removal from a specific environment doesn’t have to require fully sequestering perpetrators from society. Caught early enough, extreme examples of violent individuals can be rehabilitated through house arrest and other programs like anger management, therapy, etc. Saves taxpayer money, reduces recidivism, and victims report much higher satisfaction as they can actually face their perpetrator and be more involved in the process seeking accountability.

In practice, prisons prop up class and racial segregation, perpetuating capitalist agendas.

I got the package deal with all of them over the summer and loved origins 😅 been working my way through them all to get ready for the new one. I was thinking I’d go this route of getting it and returning if I saw ads, but based on comments about the company having rape apologists I might need to do some more research before even bothering to take that risk

kofe ,

Yeah, and that something can be communicated. But at the end of the day it’s their job. I follow a therapist on YouTube that talks about his wife’s modeling career on occasion and he never really cared. He saw the work that goes into it and knows it’s just that - work. I think on the rare occasions it did bring up some feelings of jealousy he communicated the insecurity and got reassurance from her. That obviously worked well enough that they’ve been married a couple decades.

On the work end, keep in mind how many times they have to shoot scenes/photos and how extremely unromantic/inauthentic it is.

Hell yes, deserving listener!

Wait what came out about the October 7 attack?

kofe ,

Jesus Christ, so 600 civilians? And I’m guessing it’s over 10k in Palestine now? I’ll have to look for a source to verify this but if you have one in the meantime that’d be appreciated.

kofe ,

You sure are doing women a favor by fear mongering over it and acting like it’s something shameful. With modern tech all you need is a picture of someone’s face anyway. And I say this as someone who has had content posted without my knowledge or consent. What exactly do you want me to do, live my life being “haunted” by this or tell people like you to fuck off and quit making it worse?

kofe ,

I saw someone argue this is them reducing civilian casualties. They use roof knocking and delayed explosives and shit. Just sounds like they want to show off how much better their military equipment is, tbh.

kofe ,

My state is doing a special election. No fucking idea what on, but thankfully they’ll have info outside the polling stations so I’ll do some googling before submitting a ballot.

kofe ,

Ok, question. I’m totally tech illiterate, but have heard these kinds sites are used to farm for crypto? Like I’d rather just not watch new shows or movies at this point until I can take the time to learn to pirate again safely.

kofe ,

Yeah, thank you for articulating it for me better than I could. I don’t know if it’s similar to malware that can effect PC performance or corrupt files over time.

kofe ,

… I’m asking if there is evidence of it, and if so, what that means in terms of effecting PC performance. Or just in general for these kinds of sites if it’s a concern worth having.

People who go commando (don't wear underwear), how do you make it work?

I’ve always been curious, because I’m not fond of underwear, but I don’t know how people make it work. Wouldn’t you have to wash the trousers every single day? How else would you keep them fresh? Do you use special deodorant for the area or panty liners on the trousers?...

kofe ,

… Everyone is at risk of a yeast infection if you’re wearing the same underwear for days at a time.

kofe ,

Yes. All humans can get yeast infections.

Couldn’t tell you, I’m a dirty American

kofe ,

The military industrial complex doesn’t discriminate

kofe ,

This comment is so sad lmao. Let me introduce you to this awesome idea, and I ask that you please read it in the SpongeBob voice for “imagination”: anecdotes aren’t evidence

kofe ,

Not me. I’m catching up on all of the assassin’s creed before getting the new one

kofe ,

Seriously, this is why I eventually got it. Plus my android vanced stopped working and I didn’t know there was a way to fix it

kofe ,

I did, but that still only solves mobile and I mostly watch on the TV

kofe ,

How TF is it the final chapter then they keep going. I stopped after 2 with the damn pit of needles.

kofe ,

What about starship troopers? Are you doing your part?

kofe ,

Lol damn, God forbid someone want more out of life than scraping by getting basic needs barely met. I’ve been looking around while in school, and plenty of jobs are still paying $15-19/hr. That is barely enough to get by, depending where you live and rent may not even be enough, let alone take a vacation once a year or even think of raising a family.

kofe ,

It’s both. Humans need breaks, vacations, etc. I may want to take a vacation to South America but would settle for somewhere North, though.

kofe ,

Please do explain the difference, then, between why breaks are necessary but vacations shouldn’t be? You do realize study after study shows that 24-30 hour work weeks provide the most productivity? That family leave, healthcare, paid time off etc is associated with the happiest citizens? Is increased well-being not necessary in your worldview?

kofe ,

Yeah, second graders get longer vacations than I do, interesting ain’t it. Maybe you need one cuz your brain seems to be working overtime to justify people suffering.

kofe ,

Keep insulting people that are suffering, really must do you a lot of favors when you’re talking to someone in person.

kofe ,

I need a vacation, you might say? Or do you need me to work hard enough by your standards to earn it? You haven’t even seen my resume. Sorry you can’t handle criticism.

kofe ,

Majority of restaurants fail, period

kofe ,

Honestly 95+% of rapists go free, so I lean toward restorative justice models, too, personally. Gotta destigmatize offenders getting help while taking accountability and helping victims. I say this as a victim of rape btw, and sexual assault, and harassment and distribution of sexual material without my consent. Prisons aren’t a viable solution.

Are there any prince movies for kids?

Anyone who knows about kids’ movies knows how popular princess movies are, especially Disney princesses. My child is six and absolutely loves them too. My child also loves princes and kings, but I’m having a hard time finding anything that features a character as easily beloved as Elsa or Moana for example. Even worse, a lot...

kofe ,

Doesn’t Milo become like supporting emperor or something by the end of Atlantis?

kofe ,

Occam’s razor, tbh. The guards falling asleep and all that could still have been organized for him to follow through on his own plan. It’s one of those things we may never know, but iono, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

kofe ,

Well I was gonna up vote your comment but you’ve made a persuasive argument

kofe ,

Women wear make up ONLY to signal sexual arousal. Healthy women want kids (so do unhealthy women; healthy women can also want kids). “Sorry, not beautiful” about a woman. Telling people on Twitter to off themselves.

The dude is in trouble for calling himself a neuroscientist and evolutionary biologist ffs. I mean, do I need to go on? Or do you think it’s fair to say that his religious and trans arguments aren’t the only issues he’s currently facing removal of his licensure over?

kofe ,

This comment has nothing to do with your original comment, but if you need me to tie together how his misogyny hurts young men that follow him we can go over that

kofe ,

Show me you can read my first comment, please.

kofe ,

Oh, ok you’re illiterate, my apologies.

kofe ,

Well good luck to you out there Pat. I believe in you. You’ll slay the chaos demon someday

kofe ,

SoOo rather than pressuring people to have kids they don’t want, maybe we can shift our attention to the absurdity of the system? At the very least tax billionaires out of existence worldwide

kofe ,

I just don’t want to go through pregnancy, personally. Love kids but not enough to risk my life and permanent bodily changes. The being poor part is secondary

kofe ,

I literally become physically incapacitated, puking in pain (usually the first day being the worst and have landed me in the hospital on several occasions), without hormonal birth control to help. You wanna try that then get stabbed and tell me which is worse?
