It is not necessarily illegal means, but simply means that the government do not want to expose in open court. Perhaps this is because they are illegal, or perhaps revealing the so…

You are literally calling most people in the world 'plebs'. What is wrong with you?

Is that supposed to be an insult? It's not very good.

I wouldn't know, I'm a male computer scientist.

If you are white, cis and male, you need to understand how that affects positively how society treats you. Because society treats you better than any other group. Then you need to …

Just because little girls like it, doesn't mean it isn't problematic.

I don't think you've read much PUA material. A lot of it is about trying to have sex with a partner who does not (at least initaially) want to have sex. Escalating physically until…

>Consent is assumed in the situation because of all the stuff leading up to it. Like the getting the number, the going out on dates, talking a lot, and finally ending up alone with…

No you are misreading it. The author is saying do not think that she does not want to have sex. As in, get rid of any doubt in your mind.

The whole premise of The Little Mermaid is paternalistic and problematic.

Yes of course I have. I have also read the guides on reddit where he tells the reader to sexually assault their partner.

Are you actually arguing that if a woman has touched a penis in her life before, she is consenting to touching all future penises? Either you mean that or your writing is appalling…

brilliant analogy apart from the bit where this guide actually does advocate sexual assault.

Sorry, but if you're using a Disney film as an example of a good portrayal of women, you've already lost.

Yes, because there is something intrinsically wrong with these guides.

HN is ground zero for privilege denying wealthy cis white men.

Right, but it's now harder to hide bad design with your aesthetics.

Do you really think that removing the 'rich Corinthian leather' (which Steve Jobs loved ) from iCal is a bad thing? If anything, I think the real world textures are more childish.

You have always been able to deny calls using the power button on top. Presumably that method is now compulsory.

The new visual language means design is more important. You can't hide bad design with gloss and shadows. This is obviously bad for the Dribble crowd who often seem to favour style…
