I'm back home.
It's been a long couple of days but I had LOADS of fun.
Never had that kind of experience before and now I can say that I have.
#TikTok ban and social media "safety" initiatives: I'm a survivor of CSA, multiple offenders.
90% of the abuse I experienced predated the WWW. If you think keeping kids off socials keeps them safe, I've got a bridge you might like.
This feels like Stranger Danger.2, polished up to reflect all the blame away from the fathers like mine and 65% of other victims whose abuse starts at home.
It's amazing how their answer to our pain is always to take away more of our power.
If you are sick at all, stay home.
It's not just #COVID. If you have the #flu, stay home. If you have a #CommonCold, stay home.
It's a #morality statement. If you are sick, do not transmit that illness to the community. If you are sick, you will recover faster if you stay home and rest. Staying home is a win-win-win.
Of course, from that #morality statement, we need to create social structures that allow you to stay home when sick. (Sick leave is a win-win, better for both the individual and the community.)

Sooo... we have to put the Right in context here.
If you grew up in 1980s Texas, you knew that if you wore an ankh, all black, metal shirt, or pentagram to high school, you were getting paddled and/or sent home.
It was a wonderfully "fascist" time, which produced the kind of authority figures that are fun to rebel against.
I was a rebellious but sensible kid, meaning not very destructive but always furious at society as I saw it.
@verge It's still a great device for schools. Or businesses that don't need their employees to take their work home.
It's a shame they don't have at least an M3 Pro option, though.
Guy at shul this morning: So was this your last visit to your dad?
I don't know. He should be released from hospital today or tomorrow, hopefully, and we'll know prognosis based on how he recovers in his care home.
It does seem like his warranty has run out.
But right now nobody can say.
So this thread ends where it started. Nobody can say. (Also a greater variety of unsalted nuts would be nice.)
