  • I wish the headline was more in line with the actual study. I’m glad at least the conclusion made it into the article:

    “The Institute of Marine Research is clear that a significant increase in production in certain fjord systems could increase the risk of eutrophication locally, but that current production is well within nature’s carrying capacity. This provides a basis for strict, site-specific management, but does not document that current operations are destroying the fjords.”

    Should be more like “fish farm growth must be strictly managed so that it doesn’t endanger the ecology of at risk fjords”

  • Look, not everyone has the desire and capability to fight. I will say that I’ve had good success these last few years being vulnerable with other “woke” men and it’s been very freeing to share things I thought I experienced alone but to see that other men have gone through similar things.

    I haven’t had a lot of success being vulnerable with women, but I’m getting to the point where that is a boundary for me. I’m not going to pursue friendships with people who can’t accept me for who I am and who reinforce toxic gender roles.

    I’ve personally witnessed a lot of progress on this end and I’m excited to seeing more and being part of it when I can.

    I’m glad you have a therapist, everyone needs someone they can share with.

    Sorry you haven’t met someone who isn’t an asshole on this front.

  • No engineer enjoys enshittification. Imagine making a commission. That’s engineering. Now you make something beautiful and the guy you’re working for says that’s nice now change the font to comic sans and use more reductive cringe tropes, and change all the art to stick figures, and they’ll sell the good art at a premium.

    Feels like shit but you need to get paid so you do what’s asked of you by the person that pays you.

    That’s what being an “enshittification engineer” feels like. It’s the same team that made the good product being asked to make it worse or you’re fired.

  • Porn isn’t something with a victim, it’s something a person gets off to. Sexual abuse material is a picture with an abuse victim whether or not someone is getting off to it, because that’s not the part that matters. It’s not porn because the fact someone gets off to this picture isn’t the important thing about it.

    That’s like if you called someone a cannibal was eating “human meat” … Like no, meat is meant to be eaten as food, this is the “murdered remains of a person”.

    I don’t even know if you’re being serious at this point. The distinction should be pretty clear.
