Oveework/burnout being a matter of not thinking straight while grading, especially after a day of working with children.
Not trying to make a steering defense here, just sayng i could see how this could be poor judgment.

I dont think it is. You can avoid being shot on the street by not leaving your house. The blame lies with the shooter but you could avoid it if that was your goal.
Isn’t that just the point again though? Expressing suicidal thoughts is literally reaching out for help while being fully aware of the risk. If we accept those who impose that risk then we stigmatize reaching out for help. If we tell women to dress differently to avoid the risk we tell them the creeps are valid.
Thats not what Im saying at all and I dont think my comment made it sound like that. Im 100% convinced that predators are at fault and should be the ones being punished. Maybe my comment was unclear, Im not a native speaker.
Yeah probably just a wording/text forum/secondary language thing. See below.
Not sure what you mean exactly but I wasnt talking about predators’ freedom.
Probably same confusion as above.
So the talking points you’re making, at least in form and not intent, parallel arguments from evangelicals and other extreme right or fascist types. After talking I know you didn’t intend anything close to those viewpoints. However, I don’t feel it would have been appropriate to leave a statement unaddressed if there was a chance of interpretation in the malignant sense.

No-nutting is bad for mental health. It was a bad choice for a month.

Womens choice of clothing doesnt excuse predators, but it still puts many in a tough situation by tempting them (not voluntarily but for them its a temptation).
It is voluntary. Being a creep is a learned behavior and can be unlearned. I’ll admit it’s systemic but it’s our(M/Society) responsibility to change that.
Which is in no way saying the women are at fault but unwanted outcomes can be avoided by their chioce.
The sentence part after “but” is in direct conflict with thee first.
So you could live your life making sure others arent influenced in a negative way by your behavior or you could go to the limits of yoir freedom disregarding any consequences for others as long as youre on the legal side. The answer should be somewhere in the middle of the two extremes, but who can say where exactly. (I mean many do pretend they know, but its obviously subjective)
This should have been a separate paragraph, it’s a different idea even if in context. This still let’s predators off the hook by assuming their motivations and behavior are “natural” or “innate” in a way that can’t change. The one thing humans do well is learn. It’s one of our few evolutionary advantages. The “limits of your freedom” don’t have to include predatory behavior if you don’t identify it as part to your autonomy or self.

Absofuckinglutely not. Predatory behavior is inexcusable full stop.
- Comment on The solution to many problems 2 days ago:
Yeah and it’s clearly the way women choose to dress that excuses men’s predatory behavior /s

The English interpretation of the Norwegian pronunciation still works since the ‘a’ sound is the same as in “dawn”.
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 1 week ago:
Unclear how AI companies destroying the planet’s resources and habitability has any relation to a political philosophy seated in trauma and ignorance except maybe the greed of a capitalist CEO’s whimsy.
The fact that the powerful are willing to destroy the planet for momentary gain bears no reflection on the intelligence or awareness of the meek.

- Comment on 'Andor' Season 2 Debuts to Nielsen Viewership High With 721 Million Minutes 1 week ago:
I wasn’t saying it was the first. I was just saying that THIS back story, Andor + Rogue One, makes it good in a way that the OT stands worse off without. Andor especially with just how god damn well researched, written, cast, and acted it is. The rebellion is given body, history, and character instead of just existing because it has to because the empire exists. The Jedi’s story is improved because of the story of the non-superpowered people on which their quest is given merit and a foundation.
I’m not a big enough SW fan in general to spend my precious little reading time on SW comics and books. I’m sure there’s lots of merit in them, but not for me when there’s so much else to read in far more interesting universes.
- Comment on 'Andor' Season 2 Debuts to Nielsen Viewership High With 721 Million Minutes 1 week ago:
There was such well constructed tension in every slow scene. If you were getting bored you would have to have missed some plot, be traumatized, or not be particularly invested in the series on other grounds.
- Comment on 'Andor' Season 2 Debuts to Nielsen Viewership High With 721 Million Minutes 1 week ago:
His blaster wound not healing was a metaphor of him being independent from the movement and not being able to move on from his trauma. He’s fighting accepting his losses when he’s fighting getting force healing. The act of getting it is him accepting he can’t do everything independently, and that he is part of the movement, no longer and individual, and moving on from his losses. That’s what allows his trauma to start healing.
This concept could be handled in countless other ways. My main gripe is that the show and rogue one focused on how the rebellion wasn’t built on zealotry or a single hero but the sacrifice and grind and passion of a great many people working together.
But it’s Star Wars, they gotta jam some lucas spam in there somewhere. I’m glad it was limited to this.

The only scenes i felt were shoehorned in or removed me from the plot were the ones with the force healer. They weren’t needed at all. Worse, they possibly remove some value from Cass’ character by implying he’s on a divine “messenger” quest instead of acting on his own agency.
Rest of the series was perfect.

Straight up makes the OT into a different, more meaningful story. The rebellion actually has meaning, purpose, construction, and politic.

I don’t think sarcasm is the problem. The bad actors are. In fact i think sarcasm is more necessary than ever:
- If we don’t understand what is and IS NOT sarcasm, the opinions of bad actors won’t be laughed at. If they aren’t actively laughed at they’ll be encouraged by the idea that they’re being taken seriously.
- If people don’t learn to recognize bullshit with friends(in a safe environment) then they’re going to fail to differentiate the truth elsewhere where it can truly hurt them and those around them.

Hell that’s regional even in the US. Most social interactions in the PNW used “What’s up!” in whatever variation to mean “Hi!” and “How’s it going/are you doing?” meant "Tell new how you’re feeling or how your day/task is progressing“. Honest answers were quite normal. The only people who were bothered were the bourgie types, and fuck 'em in any case.
We also just didn’t talk to unfamiliar people outside of social spaces if it could be helped.
