I don't know how to say this in a way that will matter, or even get noticed, but I really need cishet people to understand something:
The people labelling LGBTQ+ folk groomers and pedophiles know it isn't true.
They aren't spreading false information accidentally. Their goal isn't to raise an alarm about something they think is a legitimate threat to children. Their goal is to vilify LGBTQ+ people to set us up as targets for violence, persecution, and death. They are fomenting hate deliberately, because they know how to harness it.
By positioning themselves as the leaders of a violent movement against a manufactured enemy, they gain credibility, exposure, and ultimately control over large parts of the American populace. By pretending to be the vanguard of a defense against predators, they become heroes within their movement.
@stellarskylark @tranarchist @arcade @cwebber it was the right choice for the book, just an interesting introduction
@stellarskylark @tranarchist @arcade @cwebber the little schemer was fun bc it focused on the hardest bits: functional thinking. That said it used a hyper simplified scheme that lacked basic syntactic sugar much less any actual "real world" use cases and io
@stellarskylark @tranarchist @arcade @cwebber speaking of which I learned scheme and FP in general through The Little Schemer, which left me simultaneously understanding of the theory and unprepared to actually enter the ecosystem
@stellarskylark @tranarchist @arcade @cwebber you know what's a bad idea? Using Dr Racket
@stellarskylark @tranarchist @arcade @cwebber gonna write scheme with vim out of spite
@amberxorluci wdym "mistake" those all sound like good things
@0xabad1dea cool. our dunkin donuts are not only the first variety but also spread out such that you can't go 5 minutes without seeing one (bc boston)
@koko these days I believe it needs --no-preserve-root. In any case it should still cause a lot of problems
@bikeshed cyberpunk sometimes has this
@FloatingGhost don't torture kids
