  • Joo, oman taloyhtiön muumio-osasto on päättänyt pitää ovia lukossa 24/7 eikä ole raaskinut edes koodilukkoja ostaa vaikka alaovet muuten uusittiin syksyllä. Woltista sentään näkee milloin lähetti on suunnilleen tulossa niin osaa mennä ovelle odottelemaan, mutta mitään muita lähetyksiä onkin sitten ihan turha kotiin tilata kun ei niitä valtaosta läheteistä jaksa perille tuoda kun alaovesta ei pääse ilman puhelinsoittoa. Varmaan kiva elää pelossa, mutta vähän harmi että koko muukin talo joutuu siitä kärsimään.

  • Life Goes On

  • I get it, though. It is sending a good message through a personal story. But it is fucked up, though much like the topic of suicide itself, so it is probably inescapable.

    The message was botched, though. The cartoonist said they can show evidence that "we" (the passive you, whatever) can change our lives, but the only evidence was about themself. I believe they don't know shit about anyone elses life or problems and are falling on survivor bias saying "just do what I did!".

  • Yeah, it's unbeliavable what hand-wavy bullshit each and every project or initiative to combat bullying is. Must be beacause most of the people who end up in administrative positions have been bullies themselves growing up, all evidence points to shit floating to the top in almost any society.

    I can't claim I saw everything that happened during my elementary school years and some cruelty must've happended without me knowing. From what I saw, though, there was just one kid that got bullied more than me, and he ended up killing himself at 16 years old. I often think he might have made a better choice than me.

  • Oh fuck no

  • But what if I want to swear, but I want to censor the swear word, even superficially (replace a vowel with something else, leaving the swear entirely readable where everyone can easily tell what swear is being used)? This is where I’m seeing a ton of people suddenly not as okay with people doing what they want, and that’s what I was trying to get at with this comment chain. Why are people so upset at people censoring themselves in this way?

    Someone else already has pointed it out under this post, but no matter, it bears repeating. The initial need to use these censored forms of swear words rises from corporate censorship, all kinds of web services have been auto moderated to remove a preset list of words, and replacing a single character might get around such a simple limitation. This is understandable, and a good way to stick it to the corporations worried about spoiling their image. (Filter lists like this are also a copout when it comes to bigotry, corporations can cheap out on moderation and pretend no one is calling anyone nasty names when those words are not allowed.)

    People tend to assimilate behavior they see every day, though, so a good chunk of the population has begun to see this kind of censorship dodging as some sort of modest or proper behavior. It never was about not offending our peers, though, so this change in internet etiquette is more succumbing to corporate brainwashing than being considerate. I'm sure there are people who do get upset wrom seeing crass language, but a human will have no trouble being equally offended about someone saying "F*ck cops!" rather than "Fuck cops!". A stupid cencorship filter might still be fooled, though. Using the self censored forms where there are no such filters feels like bowing to our overlords a bit too much.

  • Oh fuck no

  • If you want to swear then swear. If you don't want to for whatever reason, then use creativity to get your frustration, need of emphasis, or other emotion through. Choosing to censor yourself is just weak.

  • I guess, but the Energiewende must've been really expensive already and by my best guesstimation those upkeep costs would have been small in comparison. What irks me more about the situation is wrapping shutting down the nuclear plants in a guise of green policy while simultaneously supporting a huge coal industry. Very happy for all the renewables, still.
