You mean like as opposed to a government assigned home?

I'm doing my part by never regularly having shopped at Traitor Joe's in the first place.

There was a time in my youth that I lived by the big light. I can't go back. It's so harsh, like a little yellow sun aging all it touches with a tinge of sepia. No, corner lamps are my way now.

Well yeah, if your average person doesn't feel the sting when your labor is absent, how else can you guarantee majority support? To paraphrase a wise man, when you forget that things need to be built you are at risk of inheriting a system you rely on without gratitude.

When it gets low enough, it starts beeping like the health bar from LoZ LttP and takes itself out the rest of the way

I believe you are overestimating the abilities of mainstream online transphobes to critically examine a piece of media beyond "boy wear girl clothes???"

Body image, lots of us see ourselves as having too much wait

I mean, maybe, I really can't say for sure. Taking this to its logical extreme - should everyone have access to Clearview or one of the many facial recognition databases? There are clear upsides and stark downsides.

Obviously this case is a lot less everything than that hypothetical, but I think it's all part of a larger conversation about privacy and access to ostensibly private information, or even how private information should be.

I'm not prepared to believe that humanity is ready for all the privacy we've enjoyed to be lost so quickly.

I'm voting FOR. To be honest, after reading the comments, I do find the argument convincing that we shouldn't enable the illusion of security. But, on the other hand, I strongly believe that creating a tool to specifically investigate particular individuals, even if it was already technically possible, is ripe for abuse.

Literally any barrier to entry can give some angry individual a chance to cool down before they go on a brigade against the target of their rage. I'd slightly prefer if we don't enable them.

All that said, if it's not this tool it will probably be another, so my vote is mostly symbolic.

Well pick up your gun and go do something I guess

That would be the case if it was private but it's not. I assume the purpose is to allow for visibility on the conversations happening in women's spaces. If you only care to listen to conversations you can be a part of, hide the community.

Mensa is "the high IQ society". Take that how you will, membership is mostly used for bragging rights and/or being pretentious.
