And american voters also didn't get to do anything about the palestinian genocide because there were two choices and pretending there were more is delusional at best. And the choice was between a party unwilling to take a strong stance against it vs a party actively encouraging it and saying they'd help. While also openly wanting to genocide minority groups in their own country.

Well, there is a third choice. It's the centrist choice of either not voting or voting for an irrelevant party, equivalent to saying "let the others decide".

If you have to request the source code by asking for it via a form and get sent the code printed out via snail mail that is still "publicly accessible". Not saying companies would do that since it seems like it'd just cost them money for no benefit, just that there are usually ways to really hinder people's access without being closed source.

There could be lines drawn, but it'll be hard to find the medium between reasonable and preventing exploits. Forcing an upload to third party services like github seems dubious. I guess a zip file somewhere on the company website wouldn't be hard to do, provided the company isn't bankrupt (which is an entire different can of worms, what do you do then).

I'd still be heavily in favor of such legislations fwiw, perfect is the enemy of good and all that, but there's a sweet spot of "actually does something and doesn't kill all live service games" that would need to be found

Those will always be a small part. If it's culturally clear what is harrassment and shouldn't be tolerated, it's far more likely that 1) there are actual consequences to sexual harrassment because victims feel comfortable speaking up and 2) that bystanders will try to intervene. Both of which make it less likely for anyone to even try.

When speaking up is met with "you dressed wrong", "he was just trying to get to know you", that is the core problem. Adding "you were on the wrong train car" isn't necessarily helpful.

Japans women-only cars are sadly necessary, but the focus should be on making them unnecessary, not adding gender segregation in more places.

This would be about other governments on earth enforcing that. Which really does seem sensible at this point, even if only to make a statement.

The idea that medieval peasants somehow had more free time than the average modern american still is absolute bullshit as far as I'm aware. Unless "necessary preparations for survival" count as free time just because it's not contracted work (it doesn't that's not what free time means).

It's moreso in the fact that trumps followers were also totally convinced that the child was about to be punched. Everyone likes to think their view of the world is objective and everyone who acts against it does so fully knowing what they're doing.

That aside if any of these politicians actually cared they would've attempted to fix your election system long ago, so of course he's doing nothing.

This isn't wrong but the far right party with openly fascist plans just won the popular vote in america, pretty sure europe is not there. Yet.

Yeah, would feel much more accurate to say good at things the hormone roulette in your brain decides you want to do (which does lead to you actually wanting to do them at least), terrible at everything else including things you want to do as a result of actually thinking.

Being scared isn't really something you can control. So I think what matters is whether that affects how she treats men.

As someone who also is quite scared of strangers when no one is around, I mostly just avoid that situation to begin with. If that's not possible or it's just too severe, it's definitely something where looking into professional help could help her, if it's available. Though not listening to true crime podcasts would probably be a good start...

Well, it's the gut bacteria of those insects doing the breaking down, so it is still microbes. Just microbes hosted by worms.

Really depends on what part of it. There are things like offering your bus seat to someone who needs it, or waiting for people to exit before you enter. Those indeed make sense.

And then there's what the other commenters pointed out, arbitrary rules about what cutlery to use and in which hand and such.

They have to shut off if there's too much power in the grid, it might be that
