plus the commentary after, or before implies calling them sluts if they dont agree to “date” them.

Date men? Slut. Refuse to date men? Believe it or not: also slut!

The logic of those dweebs is irrefutable.

He wasn’t free soloing. He was using a rope. That is not unreasonable.

But even without knowing you I can say there is a non-zero chance of you dying doing some other activity, that you do simply for fun.

That’s why I specified the destination. Nobody needs to drive a car to get somewhere for leisure, yet people don’t think twice about it, because it’s an accepted risk.

People don’t have to climb things, but it’s not an unreasonable risk to take. It’s a generally safe thing to do, where accidents occasionally happen. Just like lots of other things people do all the time. You can’t go through life never taking any risk or you’d never get out of bed.

Have you ever got in a car to go somewhere to do something fun? You can die doing that too, but millions (billions?) of people drive every day.

Eating an apple is healthy too unless you choke on it. Accidents can happen doing healthy things.

People don’t choose their hobbies based solely on risk. I love riding road bikes. There is a (small!) risk of death or serious injury in that sport too. But I love doing it and it’s one of the most fun things on earth for me. If I died and it was possible to ask me afterwards if I’d still do it, I might say no. But you don’t get to make these decisions retrospectively and so it’s worth the risk to me.

He was using a rope. I imagine the risk of death while climbing with a rope is outweighed by the health benefits of leading an active life style.

Besides, I’m sure he loved doing it. Sometimes you have to take risks in life for the things you love.

Personally I don’t forward ports for anything that only I am supposed to access (such as SSH). Instead I connect to my home network via VPN and establish the connection from the inside. I just have an allow all from the VPN subnet to my main one, but you could also allow things selectively if you don’t want everything accessible via VPN. Using the VPN has the added bonus of ensuring everything is going through a secure tunnel if I’m connecting from a public network.

I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some alcohol deaths every single year so that we can have Oktoberfest.

I agree with practicing harm reduction if you’re going to do drugs, but it’s still not worth it imo. I spent much of my twenties experimenting with all kinds of drugs and experienced a lot because of them. From party drugs to wild psychedelic experiences, none of it was actually worth a damn. With psychedelics especially it can feel profound and spiritual at the time, but it’s really not. It’s just your brain chemistry reacting to the drugs. Nothing special or worthwhile about it and you’re better off going outside and experiencing real things and forming relationships with people.

iOS has this with “Guided Access”. It’s in the accessibility options.

Hey, nimm das zurück! Kühe und Pferde sind beides tolle Tiere ❤️

Ich hab mal im Plattenbau im Erdgeschoss direkt neben dem Aufzug gewohnt. Keine einzige Lieferung von DPD ist dort jemals angekommen. Immer angeblich mir persönlich übergeben. Ich vermute sie haben die Pakete einfach vor meine Wohnungstür gestellt wo sie dann instant geklaut wurden.

Ja, mehr als ein mal. Die letzte habe ich letzten Monat geheiratet 😊

Mein größtes Problem mit diesen Plattformen ist die Art wie sie Monetarisieren. Da wird extrem viel mit FOMO gearbeitet (“jemand hat dich geliked, bezahle um rauszufinden wer” oder “du willst diese Person liken, bezahle jetzt oder sehe sie womöglich nie wieder”), aber meiner Erfahrung nach funktionieren sie schon. Man muss aber wissen mit Ablehnung umzugehen, sonst läuft man Gefahr sehr unglücklich zu werden, denn das gehört dazu. Außerdem muss man ehrlich zu sich selbst sein, was man möchte und was man selbst zu bieten hat.

I thought the implication was that a muslim wouldn’t vote for a woman, because she is a woman. Re-reading it, I understand the comment to be an implicit reference to the last US presidential election and Harris’ stance on Israel/Gaza. Not being American myself, I don’t really have much to say about that particular dilemma.

That’s a terrible example. I was talking about having a choice between two evils and not an evil and a woman.

I mean I understand the cause and effect, but that’s not what the question was about. It was about morality. And I’ve explained how I feel about that.

What if fascist A plans to kill innocent group X and fascist B plans to kill innocent group Y, but group X is more people? Should I vote for fascist B then? How would you explain that to group Y, that is now being killed because of your choice, but would have been fine otherwise? Do you think they will be okay with your numbers argument?

That’s an extreme example, but I never said I would allow a fascist to win, because I disliked the other candidate’s policy on public transit, just that there is a line somewhere that I won’t cross, even if it means a somehow “less bad” outcome.

Yes. But what I’m trying to say is that whether you are an active participant in the outcome matters too, not just the outcome itself.

Your example doesn’t fit since it doesn’t involve doing something myself (as opposed to something happening to me) and there is no morality involved the choices.

The reason I wouldn’t do something evil to try to prevent something even more evil, is because I don’t believe in doing evil things, even with good intentions. Sometimes I think it’s better to just let the trolley do its thing, rather than getting involved, if there are no good choices.

Depends how evil the lesser evil is. There is a point where even the less bad choice is so bad I refuse to choose at all, even if it means a worse outcome overall.

In politics for example I might vote for a party close to the centre, despite being far left myself, if it is the only tactically sound choice to prevent a fascist from being elected, but I wouldn’t vote for a fascist to prevent an even worse fascist.
