Yeah, should be an option to pay the fine online. No court summons needed (waste of taxpayer money).

Its one of those niche communities that makes me smile - a lot of creativity there. They’re my kind of critters (absolute geeks and nerds).

I’ve not read blindsight, now I feel I need to!

Thanks for the quote ^_^

Laughs in going to bed at 3am in my late 30s

We are such small and limited things that this is no great surprise. We do not wander through life blind, more we drift through life bereft of senses (and indeed, sense!).

The world we see is an echo of an illusion concocted by crude senses, and guided by a thought process that (while beautiful) is limited in what it can conceive.

Still, like a flower anchored to earth and at the mercy of all around it, we bloom and blossom to the delight of much around us - we play our part in the chaotic heartbeat of all around us.

So it’s not all cosmic apathy and horror, more blissful optimism with a hint of cosmic humour.

I can’t wait till I read a similar article about porn sites; especially one where the doxxed individuals are politicians.

Those ladies are really unpopular at the moment.

Still, it further highlights just how much power over law payment processors have - a worrying thought that the morality of a company (influenced by problem life nuts) dictates international law.

Edit - autocorrect turned pro life into problem life. I am ok with this.

Basic to who, the man or the woman? How does one know what another deems basic? What appears basic to you is not likely to be so for me, and the converse of this is also likely true.

Better said that mansplaining is a post-hoc label applied to an event with a presumption of intent on the speaking party made. One can liken it to “are you looking at me pal?”, but more socially acceptable.

I always like to think of notions like “mansplaining” as social weapons. They can be used against injustice, and they can be used to create it; the outcome varies on the morality or cognitive ability of the person using it.

The judges are out on how it is being used; however, one can be delightfully certain that the Dunning-Kruger effect is in play somewhere whenever the term is used. Which party - who can say?

Tricky - basic is very contextual. Basic to an electrician isn’t basic to a plumber!
