> by questioning the beliefs that cause you to feel what you're feeling I think one oversight is that you presuppose this. My beliefs in this case counter my feelings. I have nothing but warm regards, in belief, for dudes that want to kiss dudes. And I've gone to gay events, pride, gay nightclubs, made gay friends, worked with gay peopke, done all the things to normalize it in my mind and the negative feeling from wa…
Half the ancestor comments have been flagged out of existence, so I have no way of reminding myself of what was said, but my memory was that you said something which pretty much no gay person needs to be hearing.

Why did I have to share my feelings? Fuck your dystopia. I've done nothing wrong.

In my state children can wander in a bar. They can even sit at the stool in front the bar counter. It's considered better to allow it than have children neglected at home without supervision.
The kind of hierarchies we deem necessary are certainly different. In most of Europe (spoiler: overgeneralization incoming) nobody would have an issue with a child walking alone through a city, going into a bar and ordering a coke. Nobody is going to stop them from taking public transit to a book store, and nothing is legally or physically preventing them from looking at a couple pages in the latest playboy issue in…

Yeah, but the bar bouncer doesn't keep a registry of a million different customers and profit from selling my info.
I wonder if there could be some sort of NFC/USB Yubikey thingy that resides in your government-issued ID that responds with TRUE if the person is considered an adult. Ideally, it would just leak your nationality (the "is_adult=true" response would be digitally signed by your government at ID-issuing time).

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

#478There's a way to do that in a privacy-preserving way. A few weeks back, I created a PoC of such a solution https://x.com/maciejlotkowski/status/1899896737688436844

I'm not saying there's not any appropriate context for sharing these feelings.
I'm saying that you should consider what effect sharing your feelings will have before you do it, and I think if you considered anyone other than yourself here, you wouldn't share these feelings here.

When people were told they could smoke from candy-flavored USB-charged devices they jumped back on the train. Education didn't do anything, and no facts are obvious in this new world.
its not directly education, but education influenced fashion. smoking became a blue collar habit in the west, and then no longer cool globally.
Copying other people's behavior to influence them to like us more is both so irrationally insane yet so evolutionarily encoded in us.
