I didn’t say they aren’t increasing it at all, just that they aren’t doing it for all their needs.

Well, yeah, but because they don’t want to increase monetary supply to keep inflation in check they need to tax you to fund their programs

You’re missing the point. It’s not the administration taking the money that’s the problem. That’s money (ideally) used to benefit everyone. The problem is the owner of the company taking a big share of the value you are producing with your labour.

'The fuck" is now “what the sigma” at least that’s what I gathered from lurking on shitposting communities

Edit: and I’m deeply afraid of using it around people who don’t know what that means. And also around people who do know what it means.

I call it the gavel sometimes, especially when I am in robes

I promise you that’s not it. But I guess you won’t believe me so …

Friend, you are not getting what is happening here. We are in agreement that there are topics that might need some checking in if anyone is uncomfortable with it. That includes sex, that includes war, it includes health, it includes childhood stories.

I am aware of that, you are aware of that, you are just being unnecessarily confrontational. To which I say: sodd off.

That’s not the issue and you are failing to understand that. I agree with you. But the first comment said that that is the same form and level of consent needed that is needed for sex and that’s just not true.

You are actually asking me if there are other topics that might trigger people besides sex? Sod off

No. I reacted to someone claiming that hearing about sex needs the hearing parties consent, the same as sex needs consent which I don’t agree with.

Talking about sex needs to be done with some caution to not upset others, like many other topics. It’s different from the consent needed for engaging in sexual activities with someone.

That includes triggering survivors who may not have expected you to violate social norms and who would have told you, “hey, I don’t like talking about sex in front of people because I get panic attacks.”

That’s true but that’s also true for any number of topics. This is a general “how/when do I talk about potentially triggering topics” issue and has nothing to do with sexual consent.

The foundation of every activity people do together is consent. That doesn’t mean I need the consent of everyone in the room to talk about something.

The second paragraph has my full support, the first one seems weird to me.
