phf: oh yeah, youtube's "extremist content" is the hot subject of past few days
trinque: as far as state religions go, what a snore.
trinque: where's the pyramid corpse-pile? where's the blasting folks to their deaths in shoddy rockets?
phf: oh, that's different group though. it's the "girl hacker" community
☟︎ shinohai: Good God is OSS full of women with penises nau ?
☟︎ ben_vulpes: i barfed at "this is wrong and teaches children all kinds of toxic ideas about class and judging other people"
ben_vulpes: apparently children shouldn't worry about making judgements about the world. or maybe just some subset of the world. it's unclear, but i think it would be grand if we all skipped along thinking that everything is hunky-dory because who am i to judge?
☟︎ danielpbarron: the old adage "tits or gtfo" still applies. assume everyone on "the internet" is a dude if no pictures provided
danielpbarron: a friend of mine is dealing with social workers trying to take his kids away, in part -- i think, because his oldest has been repeating some of the things i taught him to his teachers in school
☟︎ trinque: should've told him not to talk to the man first.
danielpbarron: including the hilarious comparison between female cats in heat and pubescent girls, complete with illustrative butt-shaking dance
ben_vulpes caught a caning from the girl of all people for talking to the man recently
ben_vulpes: "have you forgotten your own house rules? NEVER TALK TO COPS"
ben_vulpes: not teaching children about cps is a great way to get them taken away.
danielpbarron: i suppose the "everything you say ~will~ be used against you" thing also applies to what the kid says. should he be instructed to remain silent if they ever try to do one of those one-on-one interviews with him?
danielpbarron: hah i actually taught him that one many years ago. kid needs a refresher course
ben_vulpes: "child, they will twist anything you say into a crime to take you away from me."
ben_vulpes: the days of "cops and firefighters are your friends!" are looong fucking over.
ben_vulpes: everyone even tangentially involved with the state is a "mandatory reporter", aka fucking narc.
ben_vulpes: far better odds of getting help just knocking on random doors and stopping passers-by exhibiting a modicum of class than one is from a cop.
ben_vulpes: moreover, this is why reading class signaling is a crucial skill for children. what, are they to ask for help from the haggard crone sitting outside the bodega in a wheelchair? get real
trinque: danielpbarron: or flip the script on them
trinque: kids take down teachers with the SJW nonsense all the time
ben_vulpes: can also attempt a mircea_popescu, and go after the cps officer in question personally for making shit up
☟︎ ben_vulpes: malice and negligence can put a hole below the waterline of immunity. and cps settles cases regularly.
doppler: how many were made altogether?
