What about sexual abuse that happens within our own communities? I was chemically balded at Billings West High School after coming forward about my childhood sexual abuse in the Lu…

I think I should be allowed to talk about the pain this culture caused me.

Your assuming evangelical culture is in anyway consistent or theologically sound.

How do you know? Why are you minimizing the pain of this practices victims? This is the equivalent of saying: My dad beat me and I turned out fine. Men's pain should be recognized …

I know this quite well -- the last thing the Evangelical Church ever did to me was chemically bald me at Billings West High School in 1998-99. I have horns, they mark me as outside…

It is about lessening sexual pleasure and removing the child's autonomy. It's entire purpose was to mark you as subservient: https://www.ancient-origins.net/history-ancient-traditi…

It comes from Egypt: https://www.ancient-origins.net/history-ancient-traditions/h... It is about marking you as subservient. If you read anything about Evangelical Christian cultur…

Thank you. Even the Evangelical Christian's guy Paul said it wasn't necessary. It is about a deeply abusive culture rejecting the child's autonomy. It's roots was Egyptian Slave cu…

My circumcision was just the first violation of my body the Evangelical church put me through as a child -- finally culminating in my chemical balding at Billings West High School …

Just below here someone recommended the MNT Reform. I'm curious -- it is a lower powered device with a modern GPU, so it will be an upgrade to both of our devices. There is also th…

A trackball module? That's even better than a pointing stick! Thanks for the tip, I'm interested!

I have a Thinkpad X200t from about 10 years ago and a maxed-out Thinkpad X1 Carbon from 2 years ago. I am selling the X1 soon, simply because I hate the keyboard on modern laptops.…

The point of the book is that they aren't. Also, there is no real monetary value for environmental degradation. I'd recommend the book, it's very illuminating about the issue.

I've been reading Double Entry: How the Merchants of Venice Created Modern Finance by Jane Gleeson-White, and the last few chapters are an exploration of double entry accounting's …

Have you read a single one of my arguments? Less paper work, more doctors and nurses handling fewer patience.

Or we could live less energy dense lives, take the bus, grow more vegetarian food closer to our homes (food gardens, no suburban lawns!) quit building homes in places that are host…

It is a very American perspective that allows anyone trying to change anything to be blamed. I personally blame the status quo, and think that if fewer people had stayed home and l…

Yes, why do we have to have reams of paperwork? It would be better if my doctor had time to get to know me. Instead, he fills out paper work, everyone around him fills out paper wo…

Why do I keep on having to give my allergies to the doctor every time I'm there? My timeline is that it is too expensive and full of forms for me to go talk to my doctor. And I hav…

Have we ever thought about going back to very manual processes as a matter of course? That maybe digital technology is great for immediate and ephemeral communication, but for long…

So, history is an illusion. Fair enough.

"but remember that for almost all of history, nothing happened" This seems like a anthropocentric view of the world. Planets moved immense distances, there were generation after ge…

This looks interesting. One glaring omission for me: no shipping containers. Seems like low hanging fruit. It seems a lot of the items trend toward "cute", and not much "functional…
