My online friend lists have been through the chopping block recently, a good society must have intolerance for the intolerant and devious.
There’s zero excuse for an adult to sexually assault a child, or to have known and kept the secret.
“ThEy’rE not PedOPhiLeS ThEy JuSt ARe FriENdS with MaNY Of tHeM DaS Not ThE sAmE”
If you know they’re terrible people, and you continue to have connections to them then you’re either terrible also, or an enabler.
Any person who was over 20 years old who sexually assaulted any person under 15 years old, and ANY WHO KNEW IT and didn’t shout it from the mountaintops deserves to die, or rot in a hole.
Science without morals and ethics leads to amazing developments, but often misguided or twisted understanding, and unbridled human suffering.
It’s not enough to be a good scientist, one must also be a good person. The people involved with Epstein are UNREPENTANTLY evil. These are not people who are in the “grey” like a leper who was an untouchable or a murderer who killed unintentionally and regrets it their whole life. A true scientist doesn’t need the law to tell them that someone is highly likely to be a monster when the evidence is mounting. Rather they would chase the evidence and do their best to make a decision based on the most logical outcome.
A good scientist who is also a good person must work to excise this toxicity from the scientific community.
Also, Budda and Jesus? A terrible bad faith argument, I can’t dignify that with anything other than dismissal
The SmithPlays legacy games, Pokémon Yellow, Crystal, and Emerald are amazing. Alternatively Pokémon Crystal Clear for that open world style.
And currently I’m playing Pokémon DX Director’s Cut, it’s all the fun of the GameCube game, with every quality of life improvement I could think of, plus the amazing music.
Is that anti-technological progress I sense in your tone?
Typical clankerist.
And they’re like Heeyeyeyeyaa
What’s going on?
Talk, and listen. Say out loud the things that seem obvious.
If they ask “Are you mad at me?” tell them the truth. “I’m not, but we can talk and I can reassure you if you want”
They went 10-20 years being shut down, not allowed to say the truth, or having the truth be twisted and weaponized.
Imagine being lightly bitten by a dog once a month for 15 years, and suddenly you go out into the world and see a pitbull for the first time. It doesn’t matter if he’s the cuddliest, happiest, well trained boy, you’re going to be nervous when he gets up from his bed to go drink water.
In time, and with support and patience, people can learn not to be afraid every time the dog moves.
It’s not the least Iron thing to say. Even he said “Azula is crazy, and she needs to go down.”
Maybe not kill, but definitely take down and away from wider society to live in a dark, small place.
I know the post is a joke but it’s more like “somebody owns a helicopter rental business and they’re bitching about repairs on helicopters they themselves don’t pilot so they themselves aren’t in danger”

Same, but it’s all moms. Dope.
You don’t know either, all we can do is use our best judgement.
If someone’s name pops up 3 times in 4 million documents, I would give the benefit of the doubt, but if somebody has been to ‘Rape Island’ 30 times then I’m going to cut ties with them, their business, and anybody who says ‘YoU dOn’T kNoW for SuRe’
Too many people forget that “Innocent until proven guilty” is for the law, not for ethics.
My ethics tell me that if you’re not blatantly denouncing a child rapist, you are not a good person.
