That there was a protest against something in Beijing from April until June 4th 1989.

Heard the glorious communist party rolled over the protestors with tracks but that’s impossible!

“Every time he speaks it makes me laugh”

The Rock has assassinated Prigozhin!

I’d do it in pirate speak, like a warning on catholic buildings saying ‘yarr there be pedophiles around these waters, yarr!’

That’s a fantastic idea, let’s swap all the laws pertaining to drugs and received religions. I’d love to see Catholicism, Southern Baptists, Orthodox Judaism, Whabbi and Salafi Islam considered Schedule 1 Religions.

You weren’t wrong about Islam, you were just too specific. All received religions needs to go.

Nobody is a zero or a one. I appreciate your advocacy but I just have a different standard, no more and no less.

Sounds a bit like special pleading to me. I’m happy to admit that he’s done more to advance the usage of FOSS than anyone. I’m also able to feel disgusted by his personal beliefs that he published whether or not he retracted them later.

I am very familiar with Autism and I know enough about it that using it as a blanket excuse for someone’s words or behaviors is dangerous. Good on him for amending his opinion 6 or 7 years later, I still wouldn’t invite that man into my home.

!05 June 2006 (Dutch paedophiles form political party)

Dutch pedophiles have formed a political party to campaign for legalization. [Reference updated on 2018-04-25 because the old link was broken.]

I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which aren’t voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing.

[Many years after posting this note, I had conversations with people who had been sexually abused as children and had suffered harmful effects. These conversations eventually convinced me that the practice is harmful and adults should not do it.]!<

It took convincing from real victims to convince him that minors cannot in fact give informed consent for sexual relations with adults. It also took many years.

Forgive me if I remain skeptical.

Keep drinking the Stallman Kool aid my friend. He said what he said, publicly, most revolutionaries have a fucked up side, we don’t often hear it out of their own mouths.

For me saying that sexual encounters with minors isn’t always harmful is beyond the pale and there’s no take backs.

Ahhhh noted pedophile apologist Richard Stallman

Elon Musk is no George Washington.

Most people who make FOSS full time that people interact with (Linux, Python, Git, Node.js etc) work at large tech companies where their work is being subsidized.

Solo devs don’t have that luxury, their income is directly tied to their product. They don’t have the same privileges.

It baffles me how much people get shit twisted again and again.

They are mandated by state law to vote for the candidate that won the state. It is absolutely a ceremonial position.

Spring for one with a warm water reservoir… your anus will thank you.

I’ll add The Drama of the Gifted Child by Alice Miller which is a very short but powerful book that was the first to really advocate for children of abusive parents. It will also give you some tools to evaluate psychologists and make sure they aren’t using you for their unmet emotional needs.

The mini Stallmans have been waiting for the Mach kernal for 4 decades, it was bound to drive them a little crazy.

Stalin murdered over 60 million people within the USSR, many of them ethnic minorities. God look up the Holodomor
