I consider aetheism to be more an absence of belief in gods.
Its not that i believe there arent gods. Its that i have no belief in gods.
The former being anti-god/anti-religion. And the later being anti-belief.
Maybe like "not accidentally cutting yourself" and "not having a knife". Both lead to "not accidentally cutting yourself", but 1 involves a knife.
That one is structural
Except they did actually exist and did actually work.

Well, for analog CRTs
It's a souper joke
Yeh, it's just that the UK has all sorts of different types of schools ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/37696598 ).
I don't really know/remember if the US has a bunch of different types of schools
Uniforms are good because it stops the whole "fashion clique" bullshit. Or at least MASIVELY curbs it.
And I say that as someone that has spent time in the US public/free/commoner schools AND the UK public/free/commoner schools.
School uniforms are a good thing.
But "girls wear dresses" is the strange thing. It should be "dresses, shorts or trousers" with generic specifications for these (so no hot pants or yoga pants kinda idea). Same for the shirts, shoes, socks, tie.
And school uniforms are obviously an underage thing. There might be 18 year olds still in high/secondary school, but that is a FRACTION compared to the underage people that have to wear school uniforms.
I'm for the ban. It makes sense.
Very interesting topic. Very astute observation, amazing organisation, and a fantastic debate to have.
I think some sort of middle ground has to be reached. Define what the UK school uniform actually is (and make it open and accepting, review it often). And ban the whole "schoolgirl skirt" aesthetic in porn (black shoes, white/black socks, grey/black skirt, white collared shirt).
I don't think governments have anything between illegal and legal. So they have to make it illegal and decide/hint/inform/decree/whatever how much it is pursued and prosecuted... which is how they greyscale it.
There IS a "schoolgirl aesthetic". You know it when you see it.
"School disco" is a common theme night at student clubs.
What an interesting debate.
I'm all for it: "school uniform" is primarily an underage thing.
The current youth has raised this as a national (international?) debate, and they should be rewarded.
I have no issues with this kind of porn being illegal, it will still be accessible for those that want/need it (everything is always accessible on the internet).
I'm more aware of the fucked up and abusive manosphere.
Is "tradwife" actually a thing?
I mean, if literally EVERYONE was a tradwife, would it be a bad thing?
I think if everyone was in the manosphere we would be fucked.
Yeh, this is common.
I've heard of PPI (Producer Pleaser Indicator) which is a mixing desk channel not routed anywhere but can be fiddled with to meet client demands.
And there is the DFA (Does Fuck All). Similar concept
They will be using data center compute to generate the traffic, but proxy it through residential proxies and other compromised devices that form a botnet.
Central generation with remote access for the trolls, and distributed outbound traffic.
You've never experienced an AWS US East outage, huh?
Or perhaps confirmed success. And "trying" means "we saw signs of it, but haven't confirmed its impact or if our mitigations worked" (or "don't want to confirm")
First of all, I like the alliteration of examples I always struggle with things like that, and alliteration is an obvious (now, to me) bridge for these.
explore ideas too large to fit in our brains
Another excellent explanation of programming.
And it really does describe the programming of tasks, from punch card weaving machines, to punch card data entry, to direct data entry, to punch card processing, direct processing, and eventually the whole Operating System, Assembly, and Higher Level Languages... And all of the steps between that have since developed.
You can become an expert in memory management, and that idea fits into your brain. And you build the APIs that mean memory management doesn't have to fit into other people's brains. So they can work on instruction optimisation, or storage optimisation.
Standing on the shoulders of giants.
There is so much that can be solved with programming these days, but actual people have so much more... Peoplesness, humanity, realness... That some things aren't worth programming yet... That problem hasn't been solved yet
