How fucking grim is it to read “topics forbidden by the state”

It could be that the type of Redditor who appreciates that type of transparency is also the same type of person who is most likely to migrate to a platform whose very code is based on transparency. I would get replies similar to yours whenever I admitted to mistakes on Reddit as well, and those types of replies always gave me mixed feelings, because something so bare-minimum really should be both mundane and expected…

Reubens also definitely did not possess dozens of photos of child sexual abuse, for which he was arrested in 2002

Edit: The photos were classified by authorities as ｢child pornography｣, ｢obscene material improperly depicting a child under the age of 18 in sexual conduct｣, and most specifically as ｢people underage engaged in masturbation or oral copulation｣. Reubens denied all of these classifications of the photos, saying that the photos were just art and 100% not sexual. I wrote this comment under the assumption that Reubens was BS’ing, because I feel like the justice system would have no reason nor ability to arrest him and intentionally or accidentally describe his photo collection as worse than it actually was, and would on the contrary have every reason to let him off easy by accepting his plea bargain.

But I guess from the response to this comment that he was actually being truthful and I misunderstood/misrepresented the situation. As tends to happen when your only knowledge of a situation comes from Wikipedia. Sorry!

I mean, it’s probably not a particularly fun experience to only find out that you have this allergy after you almost fucking die eight hours after getting a vaccine with trace amounts of alpha-gal in it, in severe cases.

As the disease rises in prominence, I reckon we’ll start to see at-home tests. I certainly hope that happens.

• The right to solidarity, i.e. all should be allowed to partake in solidary action during a strike.
• The right of initiative and right to recall.
• The right to free software, or freedom from proprietary software.
• The right to a third place, i.e. ready access to physical spaces that allow for socializing with strangers.
• Freedom from eviction (mainly wrt rent strikes and squatting.)
• The right to democratic education.
• The right to cross borders.
• The right to be forgotten.
• The right to purpose, or freedom from meaningless labor. This includes the right to an employee fund.

And there are of course other things. I just think that under the world’s current paradigm, these, at least individually, seem relatively attainable without a literal revolution.
