  • Mrrrm, I think we’ve all felt this or similar sentiments about many categories of convict, and especially those guilty of violent crimes, but I don’t have enough faith in the system to back the idea of a label in perpetuity by default. We can look into each other’s backgrounds if we’re so inclined, but otherwise I’d prefer for convicted offenders who have served their sentence to feel they can be contributors to society, and not to remain mired in the anti-social, dangerous paradigm from whence their bad behaviour emerged. These aren’t people who set out with a sense of boundaries or harm or why it is bad to rape. If we can’t stop them before the fact, we have a duty to encourage them to learn these things after the fact.



  • What is this concept, enough?

    Mine is four slices of wheaten bread, toasted quite deeply, with butter & usually with a lot of crushed hot chili peppers on top. Though I eat everything, adore most dishes, and am a decent cook, I have to make a conscious effort to get other foods into my regular rotation. Lot of that comes down to forgetting to eat until am shaking with hunger, but still.

    Looking forward to rustling up a batch of your bacon’d water chestnuts.









  • Struggling a lot with this lately.

    Had been using DDG for years without any problems, but it became unusably bad for me a while ago. Tried Qwant and Startpage, which were an improvement, though not great, then began to struggle with them also.

    Briefly had a good time with some Searx instances, but must be doing something badly wrong (or am developing early onset dementia, hahaha) as can no longer get it to work well either.

    In short, I can get up Wikipedia entries & usually major websites providing I use a single search term, but can seldom get more complex searches to work no matter what operands I use.

    Hoping to find something that suits, as it is quite frustrating.



  • Hrm,

    I didn’t sign up with an email, but was able to login shortly after applying (less than 30 mins, I think?).

    From my end it seems as if I am able to subscribe to communities and reply to things, and was also able to login via mlem, but now wondering whether I’m really here at all…

    If any passing Beehawers are able to read this and feel like letting me know, I’d be so grateful.
