Where in this thread are people doing that? I only see a few comments in favor of male support groups and none demonizing them.

I forgot about poison. Everyone should know it’s super easy to make poison. Toad venom is so big right now I bet that’s easy to get, too.

That wasn’t thinly veiled, it was just a provocation.

I wasn’t referring to technical communities and it’s strange you would assume that. There’s a difference between not participating and being told not to participate. One requires self-moderation, and not everyone is great at it.

There are toxic groups of all kinds. The existence of exclusive, toxic groups doesn’t make exclusivity toxic. Weird you’re comparing a women’s only instance to communities who are cruel to outsiders/beginners. There are lots of communities based around race, gender, illness and disability that exist to support people who don’t feel comfortable talking certain topics outside those groups, usually because of a lack of shared lived experience.

If you don’t understand why groups of people of an identity, who face similar challenges because of that identity, would want to curate their space, I don’t know what other comparison to make.

Yes? Clearly. Have you not ever been a woman?

Totally, regulations are key. I’m not advocating for an Ace Ventura situation.

Where I used to live allowed urban chickens, too. There was a rooster who kept escaping into the lane right when I left for work. He was suicidal because he kept trying to get me to run him over.

Not all breeds have loud roosters, I found out, and with traffic and schools nearby I never really heard them.

Do we? And is that form of gatekeeping harsh, or do you think anything that excludes you is “toxic?”

I’d have a hard time thinking of any group I’m a part of that doesn’t have rules around who can participate. That’s a part of maintaining healthy, relevant discussion in a safe space for members, especially when it’s been well documented that this particular group has had their voices overpowered by the group they’re excluding.

I’m assuming all sorts of people get banned from places.

Do the men not know there are male-only support spaces and we’re okay with that?

I view plenty of communities I don’t post in because I have no relevant knowledge or experience. Even if I were outright excluded from posting I’d still find the discussions interesting. People don’t need to hear my opinion for me to get value out of something.

Kits are about $30-100, the files are free and materials are cheap. Ammo is another matter, but plastic darts are a thing.

But to the point, it was more of a hyperbole than advocating women start carrying unregistered firearms, so I’m exploring the hypothetical rather than arguing in favor of it.

Where I live getting a gun is a lot more difficult, and a license to conceal and carry a loaded weapon even more so. Hypothetically speaking, it is faster, easier and cheaper to make a 3D printed handgun if you know what you’re doing. Given their prevalence here, it doesn’t seem all that difficult for a lot of people. I’m not saying it’s without risk.

I get CC’d on Crown reports on 3D printed guns. But I’m so glad you shared this thing from Vice.

I think our disagreement might be more cultural than technology based, though, since I’m not American and gun laws are much different where I live. And it was… sort of a joke. Obviously, where I live having an unregistered firearm carries a lot of risk that outweighs the benefit.

I’d suggest 3D printing for affordability and because shooting and maintaining a gun already takes a level of know-how and effort.

It’s absolutely insane that people can’t keep well maintained animals on their own property when just anyone can have uneutered cats and dogs, exotic bird, pigeons, rats and even cockroaches. A city nearby has voters opposing urban chickens because:

1. They don’t want their kids to see chickens getting butchered next door.

2. The roosters will be loud and wake everyone up.

Meanwhile my neighbour’s car alarm goes off three times a day and the dog barks all night.

I don’t like this app. I don’t like the idea of this app. I think the whole thing was misguided.

But let me tell you of a time when I was younger and more festively slutty, I had a few encounters that might have made me a user. Not all men, no, but after the third time a dude threatens to rape you in a park, you start to wonder if you could be doing more to protect yourself.

Remember, ladies, these days you can print your own handguns and make them look like whatever you want.

Wounds is a collection of short stories. The Visible Filth is included.

There are are no other fees for holding crypto, you only pay when you move it from one place to another, those fees change depending on time of day/week as well. Though some services (like coincards) may take additional processing fees.

That sounds like an oversimplification.

It puts you eye and nose level with each other’s assholes, too. I’m convinced it’s only popular because of branding.

Without getting into philosophy, people who call themselves fascists and sexists don’t necessarily feel they’re “bad” because of it.

Yes, I made a generalization, but this isn’t a term paper and I don’t have references.
