Sad that so many of us have to learn these things like this. I do take plenty of blame3 for avoiding helping out and not trying to be more involved as a kid. Pretty common to have dads try to drag son out to the garage to help only for mom to peck at him because “he’s a kid, let him play”

I wish more people understood the issues surrounding Julian Assange. His extradition would likely be murder, although I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being reported as a suicide. He's already been tortured [psychologically] for over a decade at this point, and our government has considered assassination. To think that he should be handed over to the people who had their crimes exposed by him and that is somehow justice is peak absurdity.

Sadly when I mention Assange to people (not fedi people, real people), most don't really know who he is. They recognize the name, and have heard of wikileaks, but they don't really know the relationship or the circumstances of his living status. It is reported on, but usually there is some other stupid thing that is way more click bait worthy to distract people from paying too much attention.

A notable archaeological find was made in Finland last month when a stone axe (sic!) depicting an elk was found at a cottage beach.

Material is not yet known, but the item has been dated to late stone age.

The Stripper study: Ovulatory cycle effects on tip earnings by lap dancers: economic evidence for human estrus? 

"To see whether estrus was really “lost” during human evolution (as researchers often claim), we examined ovulatory cycle effects on
tip earnings by professional lap dancers working in gentlemen's clubs. Eighteen dancers recorded their menstrual periods, work shifts, and
tip earnings for 60 days on a study web site. A mixed-model analysis of 296 work shifts (representing about 5300 lap dances) showed an
interaction between cycle phase and hormonal contraception use. Normally cycling participants earned about US$335 per 5-h shift during
estrus, US$260 per shift during the luteal phase, and US$185 per shift during menstruation. By contrast, participants using contraceptive
pills showed no estrous earnings peak. These results constitute the first direct economic evidence for the existence and importance of
estrus in contemporary human females, in a real-world work setting. These results have clear implications for human evolution, sexuality,
and economics."

@Sophistifunk
Yeah, I have asked (calmly) many anarcho-commies about it.

"Everyone will embrace that one can not own capital." is probably the best answer.

But when I push "So if I make something it will be taken from me?" and building it up from a "pretty stick" to "shoes" to "factory of shoes", then I can't get them to answer when the theft is moral and why.

@nicemicro It is not ethical to risk harm to unconsenting people.

Perpetrators should do what is in their power to transparently communicate the risks and get consent and negotiate compensation.

People should have the right to exert authority on the perpetrators.

Did we solve ethics?

There is no such thing as “libertarian left” you can’t believe in liberty and that we should take everybody’s shit.

My God created that pizza because he loves us.

days without the german red guard of fedi wanting to "fediblock" someone for posting a joke: 0

Racist joke 

Ugh @schratze, that wrongly drawn swastika is part of the hale hortler meme mocking the intellects of nazi wannabees; and dude on the left is a techbro, if you call that a regular person I, as one, am genuinely offended. Look, I don’t align politically with @gabriel, but given the context it seems pretty low of you to cite an argument you have with the lad for your followers to block him. It’s the exact groupish behavior that post is mocking yet your head is too hot to think straight and take it as a personal attack. As @BlippyTheWonderSlug said, YMMV, just don’t pull people trusting you into it.

Now for the promised joke, geez, can you white people all get along?
