  • Admittedly I don't know much about religious communities, and I live in one of the most gender equal places I guess, so that was my intuitive context. But, I still think we should teach kids to avoid gender expectations, in any direction. There are ways that men are shitty to women, ways men are shitty to other men, ways women are shitty to other women, and ways women are shitty to men.

  • But isn't this the point? Given the long history, maybe we should teach people how to treat men. It doesn't mean teaching them to treat men as rulers, and it shouldn't mean treating them as enemies either. Maybe both boys and girls need to be taught how to treat everyone as equals, and not to expect certain things from people based on gender.

  • Yes, sorry I fumbled the wording, I meant to say it makes me wonder what the other chinese factory workers make and under which conditions they work compared to the chinese workers that make fairphones. Maybe it's all propaganda and fairphone uses slave labour, but that would surprise me. Another thing I thought about is that tech is just more expensive in europe in general. It's common that we pay 20% more for the same phone or laptop in europe compared to the US.

  • I did the same thing, but with ubuntu. Now, you and I can troubleshoot issues and have patience. But someone who is sort of reluctant to begin with, it's a hard sell if there are hurdles.

  • I'm actually thinking about switching from Debian to Mint. I'm thinking that if Mint is the recommended distro for people new to Linux, they will need a big community to answer questions in forums.

  • I had a similar bruise from a less-lethal bullet on my butt, and I've seen a kid get hit with one in his head, that was scary. This was a long time ago though, but the bullets then were steel core and rubber around it. Not sure if they use different ones in the US.

  • I genuinely believe that more empathy is needed in both directions for people to come out of their trenches. Problem is, it"s hard to feel empathy for those who have no empathy in return. It's a locked position reinforcing itself with every bad interaction. To break out of this we would have to listen and show that we care, while not getting the same things back. It feels bad. Unfair. Again, this goes both ways.
