  • Basically everything I can recall being told in D.A.R.E program classes (war on drugs era propaganda taught in public schools in the USA) was utter nonsense and fabricated bullshit. After actually having personal experience with most of the substances they vilified, none of the effects - good or ill - are what I was taught in that ridiculous program.

    On the contrary, some of the fear tactics they used made me curious to investigate on my own. The breathlessly scared rural teacher describing the mind bending effects that “magic mushrooms” was supposed to have sounded fascinating to teenage me. In reality, they are very fun and therapeutic to use, but nothing like the wild Alice in Wonderland mind journey they made it sound like it would be.



  • It is probably a good idea to mention what Redshift actually is, since it’s far from the top result in a search, and a lot of people associate that word with an AWS product by the same name. Wikipedia describes the Redshift you presumably mean as:

    an application that adjusts the computer display’s color temperature based upon the time of day.

    It also mentions that gammastep is a more recent fork, but it has not had any commit activity for 2.5 years, so gammastep might be abandoned as well.

    That’s a pretty vague question; what kind of NSFW “stuff” are you looking to post?

    However, if you’re talking about art, then Slushe is a fairly nice NSFW art site (though it may be abandoned by it’s creators, last blog activity was over a year ago) that varied artists post plenty of stuff regularly.









  • traffic cameras in fucking Cornwall, this is where we really really need to draw the line and talk about systemic discrimination.

    You may not be aware, but the world is larger than just Cornwall. Your bad faith reductionist arguments are idiotic.

    You acknowledge that systemic discrimination exists, but you want to paint borders around where it’s appropriate to talk about it. Why? Systemic discrimination is always worth examining. Yes, even in Cornwall, but also everywhere else.

    there’s an extremely simple solution for not being „filtered into the justice system“: stop driving too fast

    Nice how you conveniently ignore the other points made in this thread about how speed cameras actually are used. They don’t call these approaches “speed traps” for nothing, there is intentional entrapment built into the system.


  • The camera is not what’s discriminating (in theory), it’s the justice system that they have to deal with after the camera triggers on them.

    To expand on what the above commenter said, the cameras are also discriminating because of the simple statistics of class dynamics. There are more poor people than rich ones being filtered into the justice system by cameras. Cameras also could be installed disproportionately in minority or poor neighborhoods, for example. Pretending that there aren’t other discriminatory dynamics at play and acting like it’s as simple as “tEchNoLoGY iS nEutRaL!” is ignorant.
