Fair. Thank you!

If the girl repeats it, there will be consequences for her and her family. Children have no filter.

There are proxies and VPNs. My student is a little girl who innocently asked if YouTube is not working in my country either. It is this that is depressing.

The cause of the YouTube block is that it blocks Russian state outlets. That is obviously going to prompt the question of why it did that.

 

I earn a little spare cash as an English tutor over the Internet. My student is a little girl in Russia. During today's lesson she asked me if YouTube isn't working my country either. She said that people are trying to make RuTube to replace it.

I can't explain to her why it doesn't work for her but works for me. Either I must lie or break the law.

Kids are naive and innocent. It breaks the heart.

Yes. The Americans ask this on every form for who knows what reason.

Problem: the Americans have an actual czar now, and an "ethics czar" will not stop him

Sibling of Bobby Drop Tables

That's just one pun

[–] rambling_lunatic 4 points 5 days ago (5 children)

What is the second pun?

Left-SRs didn't fight much with the Makhnovists.

Even the Mensheviks were pretty chill with the two abovementioned groups.

The sailors of Kronstadt even had all three among them.

The Bolsheviks shot all of them.

The anarchists of Spain got along quite well with the POUM (half-demsocs, half-Trots). The Stalinists shot them both.

The only real monkey wrench when it comes to cooperating are the Leninists. Demsocs, leftcoms, anarchists, and even succdems are usually more than happy to work with each other and not stab each other in the back.

There was an IT Crowd episode on the Manstrual Cycle

Should've got it from the Dwarves...

 

We anarchists are generally averse to cooperating with the police, for very good reasons. However, as I understand it, at times the only real way to protect the community in the society we currently live in seems to be talking with the pigs.

Suppose you believe yourself to have evidence incriminating a serial killer. In an anarchistic society the serial killer could be sent to the psych ward and dealt with humanely. But what about the modern day? Do you turn over the evidence to the police?

This question has been bothering me for about 3 days now. It was provoked by learning about Aufhebengate. It made me wonder under what circumstances snitching is justifiable.
