No kidding.
The part where the camera shows the one kid retreating, and whips around to show the whole fucking class chasing him?
...That's how I want to see all these Nazis in office run out by the rest of America.

since https://internet-in-a-box.org is real, and distributes #Kiwix among many other similarly useful offline (or locally broadcasted) things, I promise you won't be the only one.
I've built a few. #Wikipedia in English is only 102GB, so many other things are available too, you definitely won't be the only one!

bruh, I'm not arguing that.
what I'm arguing is.. the cannabis *community* only focuses on the getting high part. every HempFest I've ever been to has been about getting high, and related paraphenalia.
I am YET to go to ANY cannabis conference that is about:
- industrial or consumer textiles
- fuels
- feed
- oils
- paper products
- cardboard products
- medicines (other than CBD)
- soaps, lotions, makeup
- building/construction materials
- paints or inks
- coatings
and so on.

IDK, but I'm adding
"On 27 February, the Reichstag building of the German parliament caught fire.[3] Acting as chancellor, Hitler immediately accused the Communists of being the perpetrators of the fire and claimed the arson was part of a larger effort to overthrow the German government."
to my bingo card.

I wish I had a collection of these, or at least a better art history education, there are a LOT of posters from back when this was a problem before, that i bet would be *really good* to recirculate these days..

I'm not exactly neurotypical myself, thanks for assuming, however..
I'm sorry your particular neuro-divergence doesn't lend itself to empathy, because not understanding why people would approach strange men and not strange bears is easier when,
a) you don't assume it's a literal analogy, no right minded person approaches a bear for any reason, and
b) it is indeed a question of empathy, large horny men without it should be avoided much like bears, when you are a slighter female..

That this needs explaining makes you more bear-like, but here goes:
If you cannot empathize with the female experience, try this route,
Say you are the father of a very lovely teenage daughter. She is smart, capable, she's gorgeous by every measure.
Now say, you're dropping her off at school, and guys of all ages, from every angle, heads turn when she steps out of the car.
On a scale of 1-10, how many shotguns would you own?
That bristling feeling? Walk a mile in *her* shoes.

I like a lot of what you write. I follow you because I think many things you say are interesting.
But bother, this is a dumb take, and you should feel dumb.

For persons who are #newhere and consider themselves refugees from other sites, It would be worthwhile to (re)visit this guy @npub1aer…7756 's site, https://axbom.com/fediverse/ to really understand the nature of the #fediverse and how it all fits together.
Not because I think you need more homework (who ever I think I am), but because #fedi is *not the same* as the places you are leaving, and is much bigger than one might imagine. Also it's a fascinating explanation that's holding up really well.
