I'm not expressing faux outrage, I'm not even trying to express real outrage. I suggest you look up what projecting means if you don't think telling someone they are projecting is telling them how they feel.

Sorry, I don't really want to have this conversation with you anymore.

I mean, I think I explained my position pretty clearly if you read both of my comments. I don't have a problem with male nudity (or any nudity), I just know that many people use their own nudity as a weapon against others (in countries where it is taboo). I know this because I've seen them do it with my own eyes, I've had them do it to me, I've heard them brag about it, etc.

Simply because it is appropriate in a given setting doesn't mean people cannot have ill intentions. A space where it is expected sounds like the perfect place to do it without consequences. But seriously, if you have never known a male to show their genitals to others intentionally in a locker room then you just aren't paying attention or you've never been in a men's locker room.

I'm also obviously not saying every single man or even most of them are doing this. I very clearly said it's just non-zero. You're welcome to disagree, but suggesting that I'm projecting and telling me how I feel is not welcome. I literally even said it's coming from a puritanical place, I can't figure out why you'd even suggest this.

So the reason I think that is because I'm certain a non-zero amount are doing it intentionally. I'm certain of this because so many men send unsolicited dick pics that I can't imagine there isn't overlap here. They know they can get in trouble if it's too overt, but at least some of them know they're making people uncomfortable and they like that shit.

Half of me thinks this should be totally normal and our aversion to nudity is rooted in puritanical nonsense. The other half of me thinks these dudes are basically sexually assaulting people.

Other reply is spot on. He's a relatively funny person, but his politics are so liberal that it ruins everything

Pearlmania only has good takes when it's shit like this

Not sure why I let myself be hopeful about a rich person

Got curious how they managed this. I hadn't looked into pal action much, but it turns out there's a dude named Fergie Chambers who is rich af (like 100s of millions) in the background paying legal fees and such.

I'm so torn between admiring him and being disappointed that he's not doing more to build a vanguard (but maybe he is idk). Either way, being that wealthy and not being a capitalist piece of shit about it is impressive.

Edit: y'all think he'd pay my rent if I do agitprop full-time?

Wtf is an agency push? Is this something I should know?

I feel like this deserves a change.org petition

Triangle is the best shape for a lot of reasons and I do not want it ruined in this way, but a half circle is just the right kind of abomination for this

 

I've looked at a few lists here and there, but it seems like there just aren't many co-ops that recruit strangers online. Anyone have any experience working for a co-op as a dev? It seems like it would be an awesome way to structure a small web/app dev team. Part of me wants to try to start one myself, but it's hard to imagine maintaining the motivation needed for a task like that when I can barely function as it is.

Anyway, what's up with the lack of cooperatives? Sorry if this is the wrong comm, seemed like the best place
