I can’t see the point of going to an empty store

… what do you do in stores, exactly?

Gen Z Arriving at College Unable to Read
“It’s not even an inability to critically think. It’s an inability to read sentences.”

Oh yeah, 100% guaranteed the man who said that is a gigaincel loser

You’re still that salty over some random joke comment?

You can send me the therapy bill

It is! And makes the place feel a bit more human, somehow

Don’t have to when living in a country where keeping your shoes on indoors at someone else’s house would be incredibly rude

Don’t need a doormat when you are one I guess

Oh yeah, I’ve worked in a bunch of offices where the policy was to leave shoes at the door, or to change into office slippers etc. It’s not at all uncommon in Helsinki; keeps the office clean in the months when the streets are full of slush and grime

That’d be the point, yeah

See, you get it

Only barbarians wear shoes in their own homes.

Shit, even wearing shoes in an office job can be kinda sus.

edit: DOWNVOTE ME HARDER YOU FILTHY BARBARIAN HORDE, you know in your heart of hearts that I’m right

“This here’s for salt, this is for pepper, and this is for weapons-grade cocaine”

You’re thinking of a different “email”. The one you’re referring to was a parody but the one this post refers to is 100% real

Ohh it’d be hilarious to try and find cursed resumes.

However that would mean signing up for LinkedIn and I’d rather repeatedly hit myself on the head with a hammer. The brain damage would be about equal

I think later he made a statement that he had re-thought it

afaict only thing he’s re-thought is this:

Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it.

Through personal conversations in recent years, I’ve learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per psychologically. This changed my mind about the matter: I think adults should not do that. I am grateful for the conversations that enabled me to understand why.

But as that blog post points out:

This statement from Stallman has been accepted by his defenders as evidence of his capitulation on pedophilia. I argue that this statement is misleading due to the particular way Stallman uses the word “child”. When Stallman uses this word, he does so with a very specific meaning, which he explains on his website:

Children: Humans up to age 12 or 13 are children. After that, they become adolescents or teenagers. Let’s resist the practice of infantilizing teenagers, by not calling them “children”.

— stallman.org, “Anti-glossary”

It seems clear from this definition is that Stallman’s comments are not a capitulation at all. His 2019 retraction, when interpreted using his definition of “children”, does not contradict most of Stallman’s past statements regarding sex and minors, including his widely criticized defenses of many people accused of sexual impropriety with minors.

Sure, but that doesn’t change the situation
