thanks i hate it

Terry Pratchett's Discworld has The Clacks, a network of semaphore towers that can transmit messages, later including encoded images, across the disc.

• student brought a bb gun to class and fired it at the japanese exchange teacher
• graduating year kids decided to "prank" a pregnant teacher by covering the stairs to her office in slippery material (eggs, iirc)
• another graduation "prank" was to let horses out of their field; they got onto train tracks and, well ... no more graduation pranks
• history of teachers and staff sexually abusing students
• graveyard full of dead monks

wait this was a private catholic school nvm

it's hard work! I struggle with it myself, everyday

here's a secret, though: you're good, actually, even if you don't Do Thing. I will believe this for you, even if your brain won't

if neither works then you might as well be kind to yourself, ne

oof ouch my bones

I'm with HE on this one. KF is absolutely against their ToS, and if the various middle providers between HE and KF aren't going to step in, they're within their rights to drop that traffic.

At this level the Internet is still somewhat decentralized. KF can continue to find other hosts and ISPs that condone their horror, and said providers and peers have the right to drop them for being terrible. KF could build a datacenter, register their own ASN, negotiate peering agreements, broadcast routes, and other providers could still refuse to peer with them. I think this is good, actually.

but what about The Slippery Slope? next conservatives will be making ISPs take down vulnerable minorities! shouldn't legislation be handling this?

The conservative folks are already attacking LGBTQ+ and any other minorities they want via legislation. Why would anyone think this is a good argument?

valid
