This is a litmus test for who actually reads the article

Since you're being a scold elsewhere in the thread to everyone confused by the headline, I'll just leave this here.

Banned because I was absolutely correct, we are NOT ready for that discussion.

And it's pathetic you go through the modlog looking for dirt on someone.

You're acting like it's a useful point to be had. Everybody who already was a fucking 14 year old and isn't ace already knows that. It's not unless your trying to suggest it should follow a specific conclusion. 14 year olds can and do also want to drive, smoke, skip school, use explosives, and drink. Preferably all at the same time. Since your conclusion is transparent, well...

unless your trying to suggest it should follow a specific conclusion

That's why we can't have the discussion. Anyone trying to bring it up in any context gets accused of pedophilia. Even when there is a legitimate point to be made.

In this case iirc the point was about infantilizing women of all ages and the negative impacts of the madonna-whore complex and how pretending women have no sexual desire is actually quite misogynistic.

But yeah. Nope, forbidden topic. Insta ban. At least they didn't make it permanent.

If you want to make a point that doesn't make people fill in sentences for you, I'd recommend against being vague.

My point was that it's impossible to make the point because people are hysterical.

I expected downvotes but did not anticipate the mods also being hysterical.

Ok so you made a point that people get hysterical when you start making suggestions that lead to pedophilia. What was the goal in that?

suggestions that lead to

That's the problem. You immediately jump to conclusions and then condemn people for shit you made up in your own mind.

I read your defenses in the other comments. You made no other point

"Nuh uh" is a terrible way to confront reality.

But hey, like I said. We literally cannot have this conversation. You are not emotionally capable.

Edit: plural you

What conversation are you even trying to have? Are you actually trying to discuss how kids can like adults, or are you trying to discuss that we're not ready to talk about the kids liking adults?

I'm asking for like the third time because from your responses, it's still not clear

I'm trying to have a conversation about people reading the article, you brigading bastards decided to comb through the modlog history to dig up some unrelated shit.

Of COURSE my conversation now is about how we can't have the original conversation, I'm not looking for another ban. If you really care, private message me. Or get a mod to confirm I won't get banned again.

You've been at least somewhat respectful in seeking my opinion and I appreciate that, but mods have made very clear this topic is off limits regardless of context. Which, again, there isn't any. This is a thread about work from home.

You didn't make a point. You vaguely said that it's taboo to say teenage girls have a sex drive (which hilariously, it isn't: see the popular books, TV shows, and movies regarding that).

which hilariously, it isn’t:

My ban disagrees. All the downvoters disagree. The guy so butthurt about something else I said that he decided to brigade me here on a totally unrelated topic disagrees.

I went from agreeing with the headline to fuck this guy real quick. I admittedly had never heard of Nothing, because it's a stupid name, and so this decision is par for the course it seems. Just add another name to the Chop List.

I did read it and my opinion stays the same.

To be in 5 days a week is nonsense.

A hybrid schedule would allow for the same collaboration and innovation. 3 days and office and 2 at home. Everyone wins.

I'm full remote...nothing says insulting like having to badge in then then call India to make sure the kids over there actually got some work done.

Full transparency, I'm not arguing against full remote - I 100% support it. I've done it and it doesn't work for me - I like being in the office a few days a week, but full onsite for desk jobs is asinine.

I'm ok with hybrid for the people that need that, but mandating it means it's probably not a company I want to work for.

Exactly.

I'm in the office 2x/week, and it's the perfect balance for us. We pack those two days w/ collaboration, which leaves the other three relatively open for individual work. And the best part about 2x/week is that you could theoretically fit twice the workers in the same physical space, which should reduce corporate leasing costs.
