  • I don’t think you read behind my graphic detail spoiler, or you just claimed the equivalent of kissing you without your consent was just as bad as raping you, because they key point is consent. Incorrect. It is you who have missed the point. Kissing people without consent is not in any sense ok, but also trying to make out that my great aunt is a rapist because I never wanted the kisses trivialises rape and is not ok.


  • Username checks out.

    Thank you for the suggestion, but I’m sure that my wife and two daughters would be surprised that James came inside the house after pub night, and also that any subsequent trouser truncheon touting would have extreme consequences for us all.

    I wrote a longer answer which I think I was wise to delete.





  • No, I don’t think so. Not me and my friends. And not where we drink.

    I mean, I have no direct experimental evidence for that assertion because I don’t think I’ve ever discussed circumcision in a bar, but I’m really very confident that none of my drinking pals are ever going to whip out their todger at the pub. And I’m not going to either. Nope.


  • I get where you’re coming from, and I absolutely don’t want to minimise anyone’s pain, but circumcision is not really equivalent to FGM in terms of consequences.

    graphic detail

    Often FGM includes removal of the clitoris and some of the vulva, leaving girls with a tiny aperture sealed with scar tissue requiring new fully torn flesh to achieve penetration, and girls and women who have been mutilated in this way are usually unable to feel any pleasure during sex, only pain. FGM much more like having the whole glans chopped off and half of the two sides of the wound sewn together than it is like male circumcision.

    Feel very free to firmly oppose circumcision, but please don’t suggest that FGM is the same. It really really really isn’t. It’s very very different in what’s removed, very very different in how much ongoing pain it causes, very very different in the effect on sensation, and it’s not equivalent.

    It’s like suggesting that it’s not fair that people treat cars running into people so much seriously than bikes running into people, except everyone, whether they ride a bicycle or a car, can see how incorrect that is, whereas a vast number of prior have no idea how brutal FGM is, which is how you end up with people claiming circumcision is just as bad. I mean, don’t get me wrong. It’s bad. But it’s in a whole different level and world of consequences for the girl than for the boy.

    I wandered in the fediverse
    To brighten up my day;
    I found a funny story where
    A turd won’t flush away.

    It made me laugh, it made me cry:
    The cleaner had to watch him try,
    But while she gazed, it was then proved
    The crap was easily removed.

    And senseless, she would think it was
    For her to have to see, because
    His Swedish language really was
    Quite useless, and we see that it
    Did not explain this hapless git
    Or why he showed her this big shit.

    So mystified she still will be
    And puzzzled for eternity:
    This stranger and the giant poo
    He weirdly showed her in the loo.

    I laughed and chuckled, then I see
    The person posting next to me -
    A Poem_for_your_sprog is here!
    A legend! - wow! - from yesteryear!

    I’ll take this chance to tell you how
    Your random poems, then and now,
    Have brought me joy. And that is why,
    Without help from LLMs, I
    Have tried to say in silly rhymes
    A thank you for the happy times
    You’ve brought me.









  • You’ll be the 4753rd guy with the oops my llm trashed my setup and disobeyed my explicit rules for keeping it in check.

    You know programmers who use llms believe they’re much more productive because they keep getting that dopamine hit, but when you actually measure it, they’re slower by about 20%.

    You appointed yourself boss over a fast and plausible intern who pastes and edits a LOT of stack overflow code, but never really understands it and absolutely is incapable of learning. You either spend almost all of your time in code review now for your stupid sycophantic llm interns who always tell you you’re right but never learn from you, or you’re checking in vast quantities of shit to your projects.

    You know really subtle, hard to find bugs on rare cases that pass your CI every single time? Or ones that no one in their right mind would have made, but yet they compile and look right at first glance. They’re now your main type of bug. You are rotting your projects with your random number generator.

    And you think that all the money you’re playing for your blagging llms protects you from them fucking up everything for you. But it doesn’t. And you’ll also find that your contract with your llm supplier expressly excludes them from any liability whatsoever arising from you using it instead pre-blaming you for trusting it.
