As if you're perceptive enough to know whether or not you're a failure at being a functional human being.

Maybe if you tried harder.

...I'm not sure how else you're trying to be seen, based on how you keep responding to me.

I'm not talking about how it was seen. I'm talking about how it is. There's a difference.

Cutting off hands was seen as socially acceptable at certain times in history, if someone was merely accused of theft. But it is horrific and terrible. How it was seen as irrelevant to it being terrible objectively terrible.

Are you just trolling, or are you actually trying to defend some of that behavior?

No, but it was harmful.

I'm talking about the objective harm of encouraging underage girls to avoid study and live their lives in the service of older men. There is nothing good that can be said about such a thing. It's basically indentured servitude.

I said it was objectively terrible, I didn't mention morals. :)

Harming people is terrible, whether or not social morality supports it.

It's not possible for one person to know every browser in existence, and on what platforms they're available.

As disgusting as we see it now, keep in mind that, back then, child marriage was not only condoned but sometimes encouraged in those parts of the Southern U.S.

We'll never know if he did it because he had a thing for young girls, or if he did it simply because it was an accepted practice.

Regardless of why, it's objectively terrible that he did that.

In my case, I've been using Librewolf because its out-of-the-box security and privacy settings are tighter.

It's fascinating how individual changes can make such big differences in the type and quality of coffee.

It's quite likely that some of the people enjoy the taste that you hate, and wouldn't like it if they tried brewing without that filter!

One reason I love the coffee hobby so much is that there's so much room for experimentation.

 
 

A few years ago, LXLE was my distro of choice for older hardware.

I haven't used it in a while, and now I'm trying to revive an HP Stream (AMD/4GB RAM/32GB SSD).

Anything else I might want to try first, or is LXLE still considered good for lightweight/feature rich?

 

And that it's genetic, so that it's passed down to all his descendants; and that all people who marry into the family also have it happen to them
