Paraphrasing the person you responded to: “Don’t talk to HR/sue, use your interpersonal skills to stop the problem” You: “Could be that anon is too socially inept to say something”
Your response makes sense in context, all I’m saying is keep your eye on the ball; the actual problem here is consent and so if these hypothetical women are breaking it they should feel the consequences like men would.
- Comment on Anon gets unwanted attention 4 weeks ago:
You’re both skipping over consent; if the genders were reversed, would you consider it normal for men to touch women however they want until they’re told to stop?

You’re responding to my comment though which was always about school in general.
You accuse me of failing to engage but the way I see it I distilled your point and framed the counter argument as a question. Instead of answering it you accuse me of being sophomoric and ironically accuse me of failing to engage.

Talk about sophomoric some more.

That’s a non sequitur. How would child labor laws disappearing follow from adjusting school such that it serves the humans it purports to?
Keep in mind I never said ban school. A sibling comment to yours rightly made the point that there are some educational basics required to function in society and I agree. Having children and young adults spend some amount of time with that is a good thing. It’s just too much of a daycare, a fulltime job simulator and a standardised test score generator as it stands.

Let me turn that around:
Would a TV still show static if you disconnected the input and amplification circuit outside a Faraday cage?

Yes, I read the article. I stand by my point.
School as it is right now is a remnant of the effort to educate children into competent factory workers or management. We’ve grown to accept that the 40 hour week starting when you’re 4 or 5 years old is a prerequisite to a successful career and that the point of the whole system is to give kids a fighting chance in the economy as it will exist 20 years after they start that journey. We implicitly assume that is the best way to go about life and we’ve structured society around it.
I question whether it’s still worth it for today’s kids. Kids who are destined to excel academically probably will. Forcing the rest to go through the motions at the cost of their childhood is not the best way to treat humans in my opinion.

School is not all that important. At least not so important that missing a few extra days will make an appreciable difference. What’s important is love and a good relationship with your loved ones. Looking back at my childhood spending quality time together would have done way more good for my development than sitting in class learning I don’t even remember what.

The difference is one hop. I think that’s how ISP’s measure it anyway. I’ll bet spoofing that number would bypass the restriction.
Or I’m hopelessly out of date.

I’m going to start by acknowledging I’m privileged not to worry too much about finances since I have a well paying job that I quite enjoy. I realize that the grind is a bitter necessity for some.
That said, living simply affords you the time to do this kind of thing. Notice how there’s no 70 inch MagnaPhallix 5000 OLED TV in the background. It’s old furniture in a cave. If you’re happy with simple things and time spent with friends you don’t need the grind as much.
