The vote is today, the propaganda war has been ongoing for years

Not necessarily the same hacker.

This guy is outing the archive for terrible security posture by bringing attention to it because they received disclosures and did not fix them.

Don’t get shit twisted - he’s the hero here. IA fucked up and has been vulnerable to manipulation by any number of corporate or national actors this entire time.

Note that a TikTok link is un-cleanable. It will always trace back to you. Do not ever share TikTok links unless you’re willing to expose your identity to the person you’re sharing with.

Not op - as far as I can tell they weren’t particularly warcrimey for WW2.

They killed a bunch of German POWs during the invasion of Sicily and killed 20 civilians while burning down a town for a supposed civilian killing a commander (turned out it was an enemy combatant).

Both deeply abhorrent but not “inventing new crimes”

Oh hey it’s the guy who’s definitely not an egg. Definitely not. He just finds excuses to dress up like a woman all the time to make fun of trans people.

He definitely hates doing it. Ew. Yuck. Haha so funny look at men wearing women’s clothes. Haha let’s film another. Ooh let my try on this cute sports bra…

That’s because officially Putin knows who he supports has negative connotations for the electorate.

Whoever Putin visibly puts his weight behind is the opposite of who he wants to win.

It’s the correct decision that will never happen - Children have no rights⁺ in modern society.

Any zealous religious parent being told they can’t bring up their child in their religion would throw an absolute shitfit.

⁺The only “right” of a child is framed in terms of parental responsibilities.

It’s not a misreading at all. In many fundamentalist sects (such as the one I left) that’s the dogmatic truth of those verses.

Everything material is sinful and holding you back.

I have lived with and continue to love many religious people - that does not make them rational. That does not make their religious beliefs OK. With all the love in their hearts they still participate in evil and coercive control of others. They are particularly dangerous in that they believe in their heart of hearts that they are doing the right thing.

This is the reality of religion: it is dangerous, coercive, self propagating brain washing that forces people into shape. It creates panopticons. Window twitching neighbors that snitch and shun.

This is true of all religion. In Christianity it’s true of southern baptist and Lutheran’s and Christian scientists and episcopalians and Jehovah’s Witnesses and 7th day Adventists and Mormons and Catholics and Orthodox and …

I similarly left Christianity from a far more fundamentalist sect and yes: the coercion is significant on all levels. It’s scary once you realize what’s been going on.

It’s an incredibly controlling form of human culture and not given its due wariness.

all earthly possessions

Matthew 6:19-34 and Luke 18:22-25

Pretty unequivocal: give up everything and serve God.

there is no coercion within Islam to wear a hijab, kinda like how there is no coercion within Christianity to be a virgin.

The fuck there isn’t. Coercion in Christian sects is rampant. Your parents finding out you’re not a virgin will have you disowned in plenty of Christian households.

People who want to oppress women will do it regardless of means

And people who want to murder will do it regardless of means. That doesn’t allow us to throw up our hands and let murder cults exist. Instead we extirpate them, outlaw them, stamp them out both legally and culturally.

To distinguish them, just get their confidence and ask them in a safe environment.

Pragmatically speaking this is, unfortunately, the best we can hope for. I’m not talking about pragmatics here though: I’m talking about fundamentals. Theory. What is a truly polite society?

It’s not one where religious coercion is allowed to fester.

And Christians are supposed to give up all early possessions, renounce sex and serve God all their days.

What’s your point? Theory means fuck all.

Religions are coercive social structures. You cannot distinguish those doing it willingly from those corrected into “proper behavior”. As such a civil society can permit neither.

Re: downvotes - no idea why it’s not working, but your anger is obvious enough without it

Choosing to wear a hijab is totally cool, as long as it’s not because of a religion.

Religion uses coercion and indoctrination to control people.

It doesn’t matter if it’s state sanctioned or not: the social contract imposed by religion is violence. It doesn’t matter if it’s the government threatening jail time or your friends threatening social isolation. It’s coercive.

And you can’t distinguish between those who do it willingly and those who are forced: so a civil society can permit neither.

Fuck hijabs and Islam.
Fuck christofascists and tradwives.
Fuck hindu nationalists and caste systems.

Fuck any and every religion that insists they need to impose their ways on others to be in good favor with their God. Fuck them in any and every form.

Fair enough. The inside of the ring seems the least important part to me, aesthetically. It’s pressed against my skin all day. I want it to be functional more than caring about look.

And the best function is definitely a beveled edge. It makes a huge difference to have that smoother on/off motion.

The main thing you’re looking for here is comfort fit: beveled edges on the inside surface of the ring make it easy to take on and off.

My Ring’s height is close to 2mm but it tapers down to 1mm with the beveled edge. Super easy to get on and off.
