  • Gonna be real with you all.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the cannibalism stuff is true to some extent but I’m not equipped to sit here and fact check this. I’ve not seen all the emails but that one email shared was rather sus, but who knows with these rich fucks. Anyways, please don’t go full hog on something even if it’s likely. I think we can all live with this information squirreled into the “maybe true but we have enough reason to want to dethrone the oligarchs already so let’s hold off on saying that this is a fact until more info comes out” box.












  • I think many of us just stay away from locker rooms and public bathrooms as much as possible because we want to avoid being stared at or getting into uncomfortable situations with others making a scene. I’m no athlete, but I try to not go to public bathrooms and I plan my life accordingly. I’ve gone a few times and it has been problem free each time, but people do look at me as they go by because I don’t pass.

    How safe we feel going into a locker room is gonna depend on who we go with, where we go and how tolerated we are in that area, how confident we are, and to what degree we pass.

    If someone I know invites me anywhere which requires going into a locker room I’m likely gonna tell them no. Maybe I’m overly anxious and it would go just fine, but I’m not interested in rolling the dice with how people are gonna react.

    Edit: I do go to the gym, but like most people post covid I show up in my gym wear. I don’t think there even is a locker room there.




  • They only go after people sharing files, and typically only people sharing lots of files. Technically when you torrent you are sharing files, but they don’t usually go after regular seeders. Sometimes your internet provider might ask you to stop being a pirate but that’s the most likely bad consequence for a regular pirate. Direct downloads, streaming, and usenet doesn’t involve actual sharing of files and so is perfectly legal, or at least not something that has consequences.

    There’s also stuff you can do to make it less likely that your illicit activities will be detected, but that’s not something I know a lot about. I imagine VPNs can help with this sorta stuff.

    Your wife is right that some people do go to prison for this, but that’s usually people like the ones behind pirate bay and similar.

    I’m not a half queer half law person, so take what I have to say with lots of salt and pepper.
