As someone who is falls pretty hard into what is considered the "radical left", facists are much worse. There are a lot of really annoying leftist, and there are a lot of reactionary authoritarian communist that often mirror the f

The company I work at hired a vendor for their call center software, and said vendor spammed out all kinds of emails to everyone in the org on a daily basis. It was annoying and entirely useless. I just kept reporting them as phishing attem

Hi Kenneth, I read through your post and the other one linked here and I want to take a moment to speak directly to you. I also struggle with my mental health, and was diagnosed with PTSD and OCD a few years ago. Until I started treatment,

Does it really matter? If a parent is so intent on restricting their child's access to certain text, then maybe they should accompany their child to the library. This feels less and less like you're interested in discussing this a

I think that access to disinformation within a context such as a library is actually quite a good thing. You can read it, and then research it, and think critically about it. In an open ecosystem of information, with a little critical thoug

The important thing to note is that the book is being called "pornography" by the Clean Up Samuels group. It is explicit, but it is not pornographic. There are many many other books they want to ban completely simply because they

Yes. But the majority of the community seems to be explicitly against the removal of these text from the library. It is an extremely small and loud group of traditional Catholics whose stance on this is unpopular even among other catholics

The ALA is a ideological organization that advocates for open access to information and resources. Those damn communist, they always want well informed citizens!! While we're at it someone should really buy out and shut down wikipedia!
