The Euthanasia Coaster is a hypothetical euthanasia machine designed as a roller coaster intended to kill its riders through prolonged cerebral hypoxia caused by extreme g-forces and inversions. It was conceived in 2010 by Lithuanian artist Julijonas Urbonas as a thought-provoking concept that blends the euphoria of an amusement park ride with the ethics of euthanasia.
The word "sexualize" means to apply a sexual lens to a person who didn't want to be treated or perceived in a sexual way
The word "objectify" means to treat a person as an object
It is impossible for a person to "sexualize herself" or to "objectify herself"
Therefore you can safely, immediately dismiss anyone who's talking about this or that woman (it's almost always a woman) "sexualizing herself" or "objectifying herself"
Y'all are passing around a quote from Sam Harris, author of "The End of Faith," among other books. It's a perfectly nice quote. And Sam Harris is a bigot. A non-exhaustive list of bigoted positions he holds:
-women avoid atheist conferences because their "estrogen vibe" makes them averse to conflict -Islam is so radically different from other world religions that a nuclear first strike against an Islamic regime would be warranted -racial profiling of Muslims is warranted -Charles Murray is just misunderstood
He's not a good person and his ideas are not that interesting. Now you know.
I was today years old when I noticed that if you highlight text in a received email, and then reply to it, @thunderbird inserts what you highlighted as quoted text. Neat!
Good time to remind you all that the rapist trump will never see he inside of a prison and will be the maga fascist candidate for president and if does not win will claim the election was rigged. #themoreyouknow
A PSA from the makers of your favorite #Retrocomputing projects:
Don't wait for someone else to create what you want. YOU create it. Don't have the skills? Neither did we, at first. Ask for help, we are more than happy to teach. Then you can help others. A positive cycle. #themoreyouknow
@inthehands @arclight I highly recommend, when possible, DELETE & RE-DRAFT, rather than EDIT. Remember, you are on a federated network. No everyone who follows you is on the same version of Mastodon as you. Some services don't support the EDIT function. For example, if anyone on your list is using GNU Social they'll never see your updates and may end up replying to posts that you've changed completely. The only downside to DELTE & RE-DRAFT is that you also delete any replies anyone has made, and anyone who has saved as a FAVOURITE will lose it. Make your decision wisely. If I were you, if someone had already commented or FAVOURITEed your #intro post. I'd just post a new one and make sure the new one is the only one you pinned. #TheMoreYouKnow (I just deleted and re-drafted this post, because I saw a typo I wanted to fix, I had to CTRL+C, DELETED, POST, CTRL+V, but I think Mastodon has a one click DELETE & RE-DRAFT.)
the notion that Michael Cohen is testifying tomorrow before a grand jury that is looking into hush money he paid to Stormy Daniels on trump's behalf almost 6 fucking years after it happened is all you really need to know about justice for the monied class in the united states of america. #TheMoreYouKnow
