“yeah, keep doing that and some useless fuck will spectacularly fail to assassinate you, giving a huge boost to your election campaign, take that!”

Sure, like any other wildly unethical job there’s a spectrum of different people’s privilege and ability to easily cut out to a less cartoonishly evil job – I would hold Person A with a background in cybersecurity and no dependants a lot more responsible for every day they remain a cop than Person B who joined police academy straight out of high school and is supporting 5 children etc.

But saying that Person B should be excluded from “fuck cops” – that is, that there should be an exception to the general cultural work of making it socially unacceptable to be part of a murderous, racist, unjust, reactionary paid army – is supporting the institution that you’re claiming to be against. Waiting until a complete societal transformation before campaigning for people to not take blood money (your euphemistic “consciousness price”) is valuing Person B’s economic solvency over the lives of the people they (or, being generous, just their colleagues) will harass, target, frame, and even kill.

“the problem is the institution, not the people actively participating in the institution in exchange for money and power” what

then I spent a minute like “what does ‘tyrann’ mean, is this a warhammer thing?”

the correct answer was “any part of the background pattern” because it’s not got a photo of a purchaseable product yet but it will do as soon as more sponsorship deals come in

hello I am an anarchist and I see a lot of hypocrisy here

to spell it out: the combination of laws against public urination / defecation, and the lack of free toilets in public places, criminalises poverty.

if you’re desperate to use a bathroom, and you can’t afford to be a customer of this business, the person who put up this sign thinks you should risk arrest (and in some places, being added to a sex offenders’ register) - or probably, not be in the neighbourhood in the first place.

claiming to respect marginalised people, while discriminating based on wealth / class (and ignoring the correlation between race/gender/immigration status, and money) is a hallmark of liberalism.

if only Facebook had started in 2004 and not 2024 we might have some historical evidence about how the company handles moderation or community safety or protecting user data or…

maybe they’re really into creepy sexist jokes and defending paedophiles and they figured RMS would overlook the licensing to support some fellow travelers…

A female changing room (noun adjunct)

Noun adjunct is a noun functioning as an adjective.

“A male character has no stats difference compared to a female.” (Probably an adjective but arguably not)

“female [character]” definitely an adjective

“female-only” is an adjective phrase where “female” is a noun. Compare “lion-only zoo.” Adjectives don’t work here (× big-only zoo)

Yes “female-only” sounds gross.

the only examples here which don’t sound completely gross are the ones where you misunderstood the part of speech…
