This is an oxymoron. Technically it's the 6th graders who read like adults, since specifying 54% of adults causes them to be the standard here.

You've never heard of a Wii U.

You sweet summer child.

Shit, lemmy.wtf defederated it.

What is the name of it?

 

Someone I know has been in a rough spot and I was asked by a friend of theirs to reach communities they cannot reach to help her help him garner some help, only to realize there are none. His mother recently died in Japan, forcing him to join college just to get away from his abusive dad, only for the death and his departure to throw the dad into a literally crippling depression forcing him to be his dad's care provider, which left him with a debt and now they hit some work issues. So far they've been living on ham and cheese sandwiches.

That quote literally cannot be found anywhere.

The whole defense for hate speech is free speech, but I'm guessing she doesn't mean hate speech. You'll have to ask her if I am wrong if you think I might be.

Sources say she is on there specifically to monitor the site when they mention her friends, with some in-between dialogue which has her use the site vocabulary in a tone that isn't meant to be synonymous with her agreeing with their extremism.

May I also remind you that Lemmy not only advocates assassination but even sponsors it (not in the money sense)?

I'm sure her angle is there is a difference between defending a website's history and defending the mere act of happening to be on it.

You also answered your own confusion about the free speech thing.

I've never seen any censorship on there.

Well, what is it then? And what gives you whatever answer to that you have?

Also, like I said, impersonation is common there.

That's not them you are linking to on that site. People pretend to be other people on there all the time, especially in subtle ways like hyperlinking as if they are on here, as it allows them to not have to say they are lying. The fact they in turn link to the KiwiFarms page isn't proof either; the two users are said to have just known about each other.

I checked, they're not a member of it. What you're using to say they are a member are red herrings.

 

This is for those who know what "death of the author" means or who is willing to look it up, but in short, it can summed up to mean "whatever a work of fiction means is up to the people to decide on".

Question inspired by an incident the other day where I saw someone one day cite "death of the author" when asked why he went into the womens' bathroom, saying "you keep saying the symbol on the door is a stick figure in a dress, but I look at it and see a stick figure in a cape, and so I entered because I'm super."

 

One day I asked what someone’s relationship status was, and they said “I have a girlfriend but she’s been missing and is presumed dead, so I don’t know if getting another GF would be cheating”. It’s at that moment when I realized how complicated relationship statuses can get. Like that Seinfeld episode where the guy is in a coma so he lends his girlfriend to another guy.

 

I was watching a Joe Scott video about the Somerton Man, and at one point he mentions it's believed he just wanted to be forgotten.

I've met a lot of people who are like this. They feel too dysphoric about their life and are eager to see the day when their families all pass away or have memory loss so that the worst parts of their life aren't in other peoples' heads anymore. It's sad.

There are a lot of things we consider rights by default. There's a right to a burial. There's a right to a last meal. There's a right to a will. Some of these have people who philosophize about them but most are taken for granted.

Do you think there's a right to be forgotten? How much do you validate it? What's your reasoning?
