How can anyone with a straight face call these things pro-life? It has become a death cult fueled by hatred against women.

He isn’t being censored. He has the right to say these things , but everyone else also has the right given by free speech to criticize him. That is not censorship or being cancelled. That is simply how free speech works. Having the right to free speech doesn’t protect anyone from criticism

Or both ? It is not either or. There is no single thing that can drop suicide to zero, but plenty of well known measures that can reduce it. Seems weird to blatantly ignore one of the most effective ones.

The path of least resistance from thought to action is very important. I wouldn’t actually know of an easy way if I wanted to kill myself right now. Having a gun in my drawer could easily make a bad day into a final day.

I have been experimenting with this week and while I like it, I am still not sure I like it enough to find it worth paying. It is still mostly using Google and Bing as a search provider, so I haven't so far found drastically different results than what I get from DuckDuckGo. Having a limit on searches also makes me a bit anxious when you are used to just searching for all kinds of stuff simply because I am lazy and don't want to type in full URLs or go to my bookmarks. Lots of muscle memory that needs to be revamped. I do see the potential in how it can be customized with personalized lenses and lowering/raising specific domains. And the people behind it seem really nice on Discord, so I expect to see a lot of innovation in search that we haven't seen from Google in years.

Ah ja, den danske Slashdot. Der var jeg også virkelig meget og har stadig venner jeg mødte via sitet for over 20 år siden.

Har været online siden slut 90'erne så det har været en stor del af mit liv i 25 år. Startende med anonyme chatrum, senere lærte man folk lidt bedre at kende via IRC og fik IRL venner derigennem. Med Facebook kom alle "ikke-nørderne" med også og det blev normalt at bruge sit rigtige navn online. Reddit blev en tilbagevenden til det anonyme og Reddit har jeg ikke rigtig set som et socialt medie, da man med få undtagelser ikke har bidt mærke i brugernavnet på dem man skrev med. Reddit har bare været en stor masse af en masse forskellig viden og erfaring, som virkelig har givet mig meget lærerig perspektiv at læse om hvordan andre mennesker lever i forskellige dele af verden. Særligt den sidste del frygter jeg lidt hvor skal komme fra hvis Reddit falder sammen. Det har været uundværligt i forhold til at komme ud af osteklokken, selvom Reddit også blev sin egen osteklokke i mange sammenhænge.
