People would see him speak and not understand a damned word he said.

It’s not like Chomsky understood anything he was saying outside of linguistics.

How do you explain Bucha or Mariupol?

Do Americans really drink that slowly?

Why say sexual abuse material images, which is grammatically incorrect, instead of sexual abuse images, which is what you mean, and shorter?

Sorry. To address your two points, where did people get the idea that the word porn implies artistic merit or consent? It simply means material intended to sexually excite people. Is that meaning not important to retain as it’s the difference between what we consider CSAM and a picture of your kid in the tub?

CP can stand for a lot of things but it’s common parlance now. CSAM just causes confusion.

Also really? Now you’re stooping to the old “why so mad bro?”. You’re the one having a meltdown, I’m wasting time at work by sharing an opinion.

“I’m mad you’re right so let me compare you to a hateful right wing grifter and also by the way, you’re wrong because all my friends say so.”

It may shock you but a handful of Lemmy users doesn’t constitute the linguistic consensus you’re trying to inherit here.

You’re right. It can be images, that’s exactly why saying “this man was found in possession of child abuse material images” does not make grammatical sense. It’s why CP still defines it better as we’re not arresting people for owning copies of Lolita, which you could argue is also CSAM.

the majority of people disagree with you.

The majority of people can be wrong.

Material.

A “material image” doesn’t make any sense. An image is material. It should be CSAI if you wanna be specific.

I don’t know why this is the second time I’ve had a discussion about CSAM being a stupid acronym on Lemmy, but it’s also the only place I’ve ever seen people use it.

CSAM images

“Raise your hand if you can name a Belgian colony in Afri… actually nevermind…”

Calling it csam ensures there’s no confusion about it being abuse.

Just confusion about what the stupid acronym stands for.

Boston is my favourite city in the US (that I’ve been to). Everyone was super friendly.

I’ve been to cities where people are “warmer” and more outgoing, but it’s that fake American facade everyone wears. Boston was a little rough in places but way more genuine.

I wouldn’t call fascists or CIA- & bourgeois-backed counterrevolutionaries “civilians.”

Fucking hilarious that you whine about the term tankie sounding “othering” to you and then shamelessly trot this line out.

Tokyo’s (and other major Japanese cities) population are predicted to continue growing. The rest of the country is depopulating.

Black Books.

Have you lived in China?

Or do you just believe the anti-China propaganda on it the same way .ml users have no critical thinking skills?

Not everyone on the internet is American.

Hey, we don’t all have the luxury of Nazi gold and ignoring the atrocities committed by our neighbours!

It’s hilarious. Everyone in this thread literally ignoring the lived experience of women, trying to convince everyone their country isn’t misogynistic.
