Let's try this another way.

If I told you that statistically at some point in your life, you would lose two fingers in a garbage disposal, you would rightly say "clearly garbage disposals are dangerous to my fingers". And be extremely cautious around garbage disposals every time you encountered one .

If I told you that statistically at least one of your grandparents would, at some point in their life, be eaten by leopards, you would rightly say "clearly leopards are dangerous to grandparents for some reason" and take steps to protect your grandparents.

If I told you that statistically about 5 or 6 children in every school classroom are horribly disfigured every year in freak MacBook accidents, you would rightly say "clearly these MacBooks are dangerous to children" and lobby for systemic changes to the school system and the manufacturers involved.

Now I'm going to tell you something. 1 in every 4 women you know will experience sexual assault at the hands of a man during her lifetime. Clearly men are dangerous to women. And if your first reaction to that conclusion is to argue "not me" or "not all men", I think you should sit with this post and think about why that is for a while.

When women treat every man as a dangerous sexual predator, when we take steps to protect ourselves from every man we meet, when we lobby for systemic changes to the systems that keep male sexual predators in positions of authority and for systemic changes on how we raise our young men, we are, hear me, acting LOGICALLY AND RATIONALLY.

It IS all men, because it IS all garbage disposals, all leopards, and all MacBooks, until such time as systemic change happens. And if you are a man and your first instinct is to argue with women about that, then you are the problem, sparky. It isn't about intent. It isn't about data outliers, it isn't even about YOU. It's about making women safer. You're either in that fight or you're not.

Last night in the Netherlands: Boy (14) dies, another boy (13) loses hand, dozens need eye surgery, more fine particles emitted than all road vehicles do in a year, €118 million blown up instead of put to use, millions of pets in fear, wildlife disturbed. Private fireworks: great tradition.
for the younger ones, an mp3 file is like a spotify track that you can listen to offline and don't have to pay for each month and it doesn't run ads.
“new year, new me” I mutter under my breath as I make no effort to change in any way

I'm against Rust and memory safety in general because it makes bugs in video games boring. Oh you crashed and I can just reopen the game right where I stopped? Snoooooore.

I want my Mario to turn pink and die and corrupt my save file, is that too much to ask?

How are we even going to get inspiration for shitty creepypastas. Have you even thought of that?

With determination getting people onto bicycles and out of cars can reduce local pollution in a few years.
