I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others' words. Weird, isn't it?

  • Fedora X11Libre change proposal withdrawn after 'overwhelmingly negative feedback'

  • If it's just an unchanging "no" and strongly in favor of not having the status quo go anywhere, I would indeed say that is "not leading anywhere". Not changing what people think and how things were before is "not leading anywhere".

    Denmark Switches from Microsoft to LibreOffice and Linux

    Denmark Switches from Microsoft to LibreOffice and Linux

    Jump

  • Now, last week, you might have seen that Denmark was ditching Microsoft Office and Linux, but this was falsely reported by the original outlet who did the interview. They said they were going to ditch Linux, but actually the minister never really said that. Everyone, myself included, picked up on the story—reported they were dropping Linux—they're not. They're just dropping Microsoft Office.—The Linux Experiment, Linux & Open Source News for week of 21 June 2025

    Harry Potter creator and terrible fucking human says to commit sexual harassment on women

    Jump

  • This is said quoted post:

    If you're still buying wizard book shit, you are no friend to the trans community. Here's the wizard book bigot inciting harassment against innocent people to her 14 million followers on the nazi app.

    And no, they can't Always Tell.

    Concrete proposals made for UK public enforcement of washroom trans ban. Lgbtq visitors to UK please be aware and all trans people travel in pairs, avoid any known conflict sites and do not take direct action but withdraw and call police if harassed in washrooms.

    I get why you would think said post was Rowling's, though . It's quite confusing how the article laid it out and it's easy to miss that the embed logo changed from \mathbb X to Bluesky.

  • That is not the original headline or the in-article analysis, so unfortunately I don't think that's a good fit for this sub/magazine.

  • Toronto-area school bus driver seen in vehicle with ‘Lolita’s Line’ sign in window removed from route

    Jump

  • No, that's the opposite of what I was saying.

    Then what you said doesn't make any sense. I agree nobody needs to make assumptions. The driver didn't need to, the parents didn't need to. But my argument is they all did.

    His actions were not based on the decisions of other.

    Of course they were. "You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.", said a famous person whom we all know thanks to the context we live in. The basis of whether we do anything is whether it would be good for ourselves, no matter if that means it would be better to someone you're close with or that the backlash from incongruence with society's expectations is too little to worry about. Here, according to your narrative which I agree with, the driver assumed that the views of others and superiors wouldn't change except maybe someone'd bad an eye or avoid looking at them. Instead, parents were scared to have their children ride the bus.

    Didn't you say that the driver probably didn't know the pedophilia connotations of "Lolita"? How is that "Lolita" is a normal word without such connotations not an assumption?

    The story would be very different if parents were primarily concerned about the driver's dress, in which case I would agree with you. But, instead, the story here is with the sign.

    That was not a reasonable assumption. It was an ignorant assumption

    How were they supposed to know "Lolita" referred to the fashion trend?

    He no longer drives that route.

    That's all it says. You assumed it meant he was fired when in fact it could've been a suspension or a transfer to some other route, just as the parents assumed "Lolita" meant what they were taught it meant growing up. The article doesn't even seem to know what gender the driver is.

    This is called the "benefit of the doubt".

    To do that you need possibility for doubt. What is the reasonable doubt against the negative effects I mentioned occurring?

    And this is all predicated on the assumption that the driver was in fact referring to Lolita fashion. If I need to prove there was harm, you also have to prove they was just making a fashion statement.
